5ergio Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Here we go! On this day, Sercan Cali is announced the new manager of IF Birkebeineren!I have 0 player & 0 staff in the squad, semi-pro club. At least 6,5K wage budget should do me some good, hopefully P.S: Forgot to add, I have also enabled Turkey Prem as well as I'm planning to take a job offer there if I manage to finish the challenge & I'd like to monitor the league in the mean time as well. The first season is over for IF Birkebeineren and I have managed to do the (not so) unthinkable, winning the league! With only me as a footballing staff at the start of the season, it seemed a bit hard at first. But seems like the players I brought in are good for the level we are at! Screenshots will be up when I get back to home. The only down side of a €6,5K weekly wage budget is we are in the red every month At least the board injects some cash every now and then. Also, got knocked out of the cup in 1st round, should have been a good financial boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ergio Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Norway - 3rd Tier - IF Birkebeineren What a season for the team with no staff at the start of season. Clearly hiring Sercan Cali was their first move to a successful history! League Table: I was not expecting this given we had 20 players who had never seen each other before! The title was a close call in the last 6-7 weeks. When Elverum & Tonsberg dropped points, it was our chance to get ahead and we used it well in the last 3 matches. Here's the both transfer screenshots (players & staff): Staff & Players Out of that bunch, 4 strikes shine throughout the season, given the fact that I was rotating them 4 to keep them all match fit. Balal Arezu: Decent striker with some speed and team work. Added to the total tally when it mattered by scoring a few game winners. Fosu Boateng: A good striker with passing capabilities, nearly acting as a left winger. 9 yellow cards in 21 games is a bit much though and one of the main reasons for the rotation. Ingolfur Ragnarsson: Both a midfielder and a striker at the same time, provided a dependable source of outcome when needed. Fredrik William Henriksen: This guy is your every day experienced striker in lower leagues. I was really not expecting him to put on a show but at times he scored at will! As you can see, I'm trying to get decent team work / work rate combinations to the team, coupled with some key attributes (pace, dribbling etc). Hopefully this mentality will help us in the next season to come! Norwegian Cup Failed miserably when I wanted to rest a few players given we were playing a game every 3 game at that time. Knocked out by non-league Halse Loren IL in 1st round, awarded around €10K for just showing up so it seems cup is a decent finance booster! Youth intake: Nothing to mention. All the guys are rated as half a golden star at their potential and around 1 silver star at current ability. Not sure if I should keep them just for the sake of having a U19 team or ditch them all and save on the bills! Aims - Stay clear of relegation one way or another. - Try to get a few rounds in the cup for financial reasons. - Improve the finances! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ergio Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This just in! I don't know if a possible take over is the best I can hope for financial stability. A few days of uncertainity begins! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5ergio Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 toonbalmy87, Congrats on the promotions and the cup win! You look like set to dominate the league in the upcoming seasons. nastymiller, Going good so far but you should put a gap to the relegation zone at the start of 2nd half it seems Edit: In the mean time, the board takeover is completed and no cash is injected. Yay At least I'm keeping my job it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nastymiller Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Di-spite a shocking finish to the season, I somehow managed to stay up and hopefully will do better this coming season. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318132937655/38068639AC6874E42E022E0E5C04FE1065F93AB2/ On the youth front I have a 5 star potential that has come through the ranks - currently 1 star, I'm hoping that he has a good season developing his skills ready for a long career with the club. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318132974709/B90E6A2684441F99FCBE16B7D1AFD10142DCA5D1/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nastymiller Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Shocking start to the season, with the winter break over and just 11 games to go - I need all the luck in the world to stay up. That said, if I do a club has got to come knocking at my door and if they do - im offski, I can't do anymore with this club, the chairman will just not invest in anything, and the sponsorship is not coming either. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318165877988/CEC932E130A5BED39399C3C16619122516F37190/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastymiller Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Not sure if I should take season 3 as a better season than last or - just that we were treading water all season? http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318176793914/16A15562691E00956E2CD6FC94F94E971905E51B/ A couple more youth players were brought through the youth centre and that now makes it 3 in 2 seasons: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318176819717/0442BA108531A19AA07C856DE4186F95E8E56203/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318176813595/72671B02C281C17047FF252A9F0C183FE67C2EA7/ And last seasons 5 star potential player is making steady progress and got into double figures games wise for me this season: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/955013318176817403/6AB7626AAB2C2B25511D823FF5C38C866CF2DA9B/ Signed a year long extension with the club, and will see what pre-season brings and sponsorship - see if the club can drag anything extra in with a 2nd season in the middle tier of Danish football.

Diddipalo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Season 1 Well season one is finished and I got promoted. it was close but my boys managed to keep a cool head and sail the ship home. I got knocked out of the cup pretty early. Finances are not very good but I'm hoping to offload some deadwood and then the finances will probably get better. To get Djurgårdens as a parent club was great and they sent some great players over to me. The target for next season is to survive since there is quite a gap between the third and second division. Here is the season in photos. http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=Champ2011copy.jpg http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=transferscopy.jpg http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=RickardThuressoncopy2.jpg http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=PehrAnderssoncopy.jpg http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=Ernestocopy.jpg http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/diddipalo/?action=view¤t=Markusyp1copy.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
