PaulHartman71 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 E is for East Fife After finishing in 3rd place and thus qualifying for the play-off's, I was relatively optimistic having won in both of my previous play-off experiences in this save game. Unfortunately we got absolutely wankered by East Stirlingshire and lost 6-0, all the goals coming in the home leg - it was a shockingly bad performance. From a financial stand point we had a fantastic year, with the finances being majorly boosted thanks to drawing Celtic away in the League Cup 2nd Round, whilst like against East Stirlingshire in the play-off's we did get completely wankered, we gained about 300K from this game so cannot complain at all. Also reached the 4th Round of the Scottish Cup, going out to Hibs which didn't get as anywhere near as much money as the Celtic game did. Overall the squad was decent and key players included - Peter Beard, David Conway, Jay Finch, Richard Allen and Karl Sheppard. Overall a pretty decent first season, would've been nice to have been promoted but i'm sure with the significant financial gain from the Celtic game it should be easier to get promoted next season. If an 'F' club does come in for me I will take it, but the likelihood of randomly being offered a job at an 'F' club is pretty unlikely so it's looking like at least another season at East Fife for me.

PaulHartman71 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 E is for East Fife After the disappointment of losing in the play-off's last season I was keen on winning the league out-right, this was further motivated by the fact we were the bookies favourites to win the league. It was decided on the last day of the season, but as you've seen in my last post, we did win the league. As you can see from the past positions, we spent the large majority of the latter half of the season floating between second and third place. After going top with 2 games left I was hoping to secure the league in the penultimate game of the season, we cocked up by losing and actually went back to third place, but thanks to Spurs-like bottling from the two teams above us, we managed to claw it back and win the league with our win on the last day. The squad had a good amount of depth and was always going to be good enough to challenge for promotion. All of our transfers were freebies or loans despite our sound financial situation, which was boosted by a further 100K after French businessman Donald Rousseaux made a consortium takeover mid-way through the season. It was a disappointing year as far as the League Cup was concerned, losing out in the 1st round via penalties to Partick Thistle. The Scottish Cup wasn't much better, after a replay away from home we were knocked out in the 3rd round by Alloa. Our key players for the season included: The first choice goalkeeper Chris Davies, on loan striker David Kerr, left winger John Lawless, top scorer Keith Collins, central midfielder Joe McCann, right winger Peter Beard and the other striker Richard Allen. Overall a very successful season for the club. Despite temptations to leave having accomplished a promotion, which I have done before with Bradford PA and Casa Pia, it seems to make sense to stay for another season, my contract runs out in a years time and I could do with the reputation boost that playing in a higher division will give me.

PaulHartman71 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's been a pretty good season so far, 26 games in and we currently sit in second place. I'm hoping we can at least make the play-off's for promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 That's true, it's still a massive game considering they're one of the top 5 sides in the country and it's the quarter final of the domestic cup. I'm not expecting any kind of result, although we're in very good form in the league and with the win over Inverness CT, perhaps we could shock Hearts in our own back yard.

PaulHartman71 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 E is for East Fife In an amazing season that was highlighted by a terrific run in the Scottish Cup, we also managed to secure the 2nd Division title, meaning a historic back-to-back promotion for the club. A real achievement considering in the two seasons before I joined the club, they finished bottom of the 2nd division and then bottom of the third division. The financial benefits of the cup run as well as the league win were massive, the club made over 500K in profit this year which is absolutely fantastic news for both the short and long term stability of East Fife. I continued with my philosophy of wheeling and dealing with free transfers and loans, which ended up being a decent move as our squad was very good, definitely more than capable of pushing for the play-off's and winning the league. A key element is the fact our squad is more English than it is Scottish, I think part of this is because a lot of English players get released in the lower English divisions and are thus available on cheapo freebie deals compared to Scottish players who I'd have to pay a few grand for. There were a few players that contributed more than most to the team. Simon Clark, on loan striker from Hibernian, was one of these players, scoring 12 and assisting 8. Steven Parker, a versatile player who could play anywhere in the middle of the park, proved to be very good once he was signed. Scott Doig was a key man in the middle of defence. David Conway was an important part of our midfield, providing a few goals and assists as well as having one of the best passing rates in the league at 82 percent. Richard Allen was a rotated striker who ended up being our top scorer, with 14 goals from 15 starts and 14 sub appearances. Overall it was an amazing season, despite being tempting to call it a day at East Fife and end on a high, there's no real jobs available and a lot of 'F' jobs require a higher level of reputation, so it makes sense to stay at East Fife and manage them for one year in the 1st Divison.
