JerseyShoreDave Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wow, the Community Shield match was shocking Looks like you've rebounded nicely though. Bad performance all around... Are man united now considered your rivals for ,they have been the only team ,that has been so rough to you in the league. I know when I play them I don't have much of a chance of winning yet... use to be the same way with Manchester City when I first hit the Premier League... Manchester United are the only team I fear. I am ranked 3rd in Europe... Manchester United is rated first for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyShoreDave Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Forest Green - November Summary - English Premier League - 2035-2036 Season vs. Cardiff - the backup team couldn't hold Cardiff back, the come from behind tie came from an otherwise lame match. vs. PSV - Champions League Group B - Tough match, we should of won it easily... we won every stat, but hit the woodwork too many times to count... vs. Coventry - Not the best match as we had Luna get 3 shots on goal for 3 goals and barely winning the match before he got injured... annoyed. vs. Aston Villa - Nice to see a defender get a header for once from a corner kick... otherwise not that good of a match. vs. Sheffield Wednesday - Started out well... then we went down 2-1 before getting the tie in the 81st... the penalty kick... the red card... 2 points lost. vs. Stjarnan - Champions League Group B - The Icelandic Champions can't compete with us, it should've been 7-0... but I'll take 5-0 in a competition we already qualified for the next round in. We're in first place, but not really... We're in the hunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the early lead as Colin took the lead in the 14th. In the 44th New York tied it with a brilliant shot from 20 yards. It took 2 subs to get the team to score again 71st to take the lead... and Dahlen ensured victory in the 77th with a sweet breakaway.... vs. Al-Ittihad(KSA) - This match was the easiest match of the month, we dominated the entire time to become World Club Champions again. vs. Chelsea - Solid win, I expected more resistance as our team was pretty tired from the trip back from Mexico and using other players. vs. Newcastle - Colin was on fire, shot another brace into victory. vs. Manchester City - They beat our asses down until Colin scored twice... 88th and 92nd... We should of lost this match and didn't deserve a point, but we take it. vs. Nottingham Forest - With a mixture of first teamers and benchwarmers I guess we did alright. We're in 2nd place having played one less match then Manchester United, behind by 4 points. World Club Championship Tree - Not sure how Sao Paulo lost...

JerseyShoreDave Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Forest Green - May and Season Summary - English Premier League - 2035-2036 Season vs. Manchester City - Wasn't the best performance... our Brazillian midfielder/striker got the goal that tied the match, the tie allowed us to win the League Title. vs. Nottingham Forest - Solid win by the secondary squad. Nottingham Forest got relegated. vs. Newcastle - Solid match Boquita might be played more as a striker next season as a result of his last few games. vs. Arsenal - Champions League Final - We let in a lame goal within 10 minutes and played pretty poorly, second half we got our composure back with Luna picking up a brace. Was a closer match then is should of been but we won it for the 3rd time. The League Table - We won by 9 points, ended up with 99 points a new EPL record. Liverpool won the Championship and will be back next season. The Champions League Knockout Phase Tree Champions League Dream Team - The entire back line is my team, and one of our best midfielders is chosen as well. The FA Cup - Hat a good run, had to go with priorities... Capital One Cup - Got knocked out in the 3rd round by Manchester United, the competition means nothing to my board so its just something for the backup crew to play for minutes. Since its the end of the season we were finally able to start to make some more improvements to our facilities. Our stadium will have 11,000+ extra seats by the end of September. Our Youth Academy will be classified as a Level 1 setup. Club's training facilities will be upgraded Youth Facilities will be upgraded The Finances - 35 million in the bank, had more before upgrades, hopefully can get a few more stuff from the board. Torhout in some ways is doing ok, in other ways they're not. Belgian Pro League - 4th place... funny think is both Torhout AND Anderlecht are not in the Champions League but Beershot and Genk??? lol In the Europa League - Standard and Genk were knocked out in the Second Knockout Round and Torhout made it to the Quarterfinals before getting destroyed by FC Twente. The Transfers - Incoming: Angelini - Nice backup defender on a free, can't go wrong. Bogdevich - Overrated player, not good enough for the League. Ndongala - Got him on a free, he's our worst player in terms of discipline... not much of a future, will be backup as he can play in lesser games. Ramirez - A great backup keeper for our top keeper, will sell for probably 10 million Lefebvre - I know, I know, 16 million for a Manchester United defender... indeed was worth the cost. Ranieri - A brazilian midfielder with some potential.... not enough probably. Curley - followed some Premier League clubs to buying him and he got hurt and seems to be a dud, will examine his future in the preseason. Outgoing: Dossama - Our former defender plays for an Egyptian club now, just wasn't good enough for the premiership. Wilson - Couldn't learn to be a midfielder so we're trying to sell him again. Gibson - Overrated we want him gone. Guildford - Might be back in the main team if we need another homegrown guy, would be backup if he's back. Grebynskyi - Was with the club for 6 years and wanted a new challenge, so we got 7.75 million for him from Wolfsburg Koffi - another defender, Leverkusen bid 5.25 million for him and we sold him. Merry - a home grown youth player from the club getting time in the Blue Square Bet Premier League, has NO future here. Bonnet - The defender was sold to stoke for 3.5 million, as he became surplus to the defenders on the team. Konate - A backup keeper that Rapid Wien was after for while and when we haggled they offered 4.8 and took it. Enell - Our swedish defender was getting no playing time as he was ousted by better players, west ham offered 1.7M which was too low but we took it. Serna - Came back from a loan at Boca Juniors, and was sold for 11.75M. Kucharski - Turned out to be overrated, was happy that Cardiff picked him up. The Squad - The team is strong, and our best players are among the best in the World with 7 players playing in the European Championships this summer. We've already renewed the 4 contracts that had a year left on them. Key Players Jaba Gogatishvili - Our 25 year old Georgian International midfielder is one of our best players. He was hurt a bit so he didn't do as well as he could of. In 34 appearances he scored 9 goals, converted 2/4 of the penalty kicks, had 13 assists, 1 POM and 13 yellow cards. Many teams bid on him but he's been happy so far, especially his new 110k/wk contract he signed. Andy Payton - Andy said he's done it all here and wants to leave... if we can find a suitable replacement thats homegrown in England we'll sell him. He's not worth what he use too be. He did well when he did play. In 18 matches he scored 10 goals, was 1/1 in penalties with 8 assists and 4 POMs. Will be sad to see him leave, more importantly who'd replace him... Ole Erik Dahlen - Our 27 year old Norwegian Striker had a subpar season. In 36 matches he only scored 14 goals with 15 assists and 2 POMs. He was injured a bit, but when called upon he underachieved in the Premiership, yet scored 7 in 15 Champions League appearances... Alexis Francois - Our 34 year old striker did better then expected. In 23 appearances he scored 12 goals, was 1/1 in Penalties, 3 assists, and 1 POM. I expect him to retire in the next few years, sad he never got a National team cap at the senior level. Claude Colin - Our 32 year old French international is still going strong. He was our second best striker for the team. In 39 appearances he scored 24 goals, getting a penalty kick, had 18 assists, with 7 POM honors. Hoping he doesn't want to leave too, great player. Augusto Luna - Our 4 year old Argentinian striker was on top of the world. In 44 appearances he scored 32 times, netted a penalty kick, had 11 assists and 8 POM honors. He was also named the EPL Footballer of the Year! Our best striker is a class player and I fear what salary he'll command in 2 years... Grant Dick - was surprised we were able to resign the young keeper for just 32,500/wk. Our 19 year old English keeper had his bet year yet! In 60 matches he conceded 56 goals, with 30 clean sheets. He can only get better from here. If I establish Forest Green as the top Club in England before he retires... I'll stay around until he does retire. He won the honor of being the EPL Golden Glove of the Year! Thoughts Have to keep in mind spending. The club is letting me spend a bit too much than our finances can handle. Given the EPL's limit on players it helps but have to keep a balance. Need to find more quality talent on low salary if thats possible. Finding quality... especially home grown talent is important. We need some home grown players from the club to make European Qualifying easier... only twice did we even have 7 subs due to injuries in the Champions League. We need a few more things that I hope the board of directors will approve of like a better youth recruitment network and youth coaching. Find a way to break Manchester United consistantly!

New Sponsorships - The 4 previous sponsorships use to give us 1.09 Million per year, now they give 13.19 Million. We've earned respect from Sponsors! New Kit Sponsorship - 4 year 725k deal! Our Champions League Group C consists of in order: The French Champions The English Champions The Italian Champions The Turkish Champions Youth Recruitment has been improved to Average. The Fixtures: We started the preseason in Korea vs. Gyeongnam - 2 braces shows the point, this is a nice warm up match. vs. Incheon - 2 braces show the point with how overmatched they were. vs. Seongnam - Yes another 2 braces show how easy the 7-0 thumping was. vs. Real Madrid - Only 1 Brace... but still. We go Claude from Real Madrid so its only fitting he did well with them. It was a shame we didn't score more in the second half but after the easy matches... to get the 4-0 victory against Spain's best makes me happy. vs. Manchester United - The Community Shield - Under their new Manager Murat Yakin they aren't the same team. Their defense was sold but so was ours... 90 minutes came and went and no one could break the other... another 30 minutes... nothing. Then we went to Penalty kicks and it wasn't pretty for either side. We won it 2-1. Colin and Boquita were the only 2 who got their Pks in. vs. Liverpool - In 45 seconds Raul scored for us... in the 4th minute Liverpool struck back. Things settled a bit and in the 62 Lavie was way out of position and scored the winner. vs. Manchester United - We meet yet again and our defense is great, but so is Manchester's. Better to get 1 point then letting them have 3. vs. Wolfsburg - European Super Cup - First half Wolfsburg kicked our collective arses... 10 shots on goal in 45 minutes, thankfully they only got 1 in. Second half we put Luna in who got hurt representing Argentina wasn't a 100% but scored just 4 minutes after coming in... It went till the 90th and then we had extra time. Everyone was tired with such a match so early in the season but we endured. We put in a fresh Andy Payton, and Ranieri came into the midfield for Colin and Jaba respectively. Andy had literally 5 shots in 5 minutes, but in the 114th minute he ran around the Goalkeeper, took a nice shot and won it for the good guys. Thoughts Preseason rocked and we did great. We tried to sell Andy as he wished a new challenge after buying a new player... only problem with that was... not 1 team was interested in him... even on a Free Transfer. so I'm obviously NOT putting him in the reserves I had to find the second worse Striker to sell and that turned out to be Francois. We brought in a hot young English striker for huge money, got a young defender everyone wanted, and a midfielder that our staff identified as having great potential and I actually agreed with the free transfer. We brought in 34.5 million worth of players, but we sold 5 Million worth. Manchester United brought in 73 million worth of players and sold 63 million worth. Everton brought in 91 Million worth of players and sold 27.5 million worth. I'm almost 60k/week over my available wage budget at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy netted one, and at the very end our youngster Vagner finished it off. It was a good match. vs. Juventus - Champions League Group C - Took 5 minutes for Juventus to score on us, but in the 18th we got one back... took till the 83rd when our young Scottish midfielder Stephen Savage got the winning goal. Tougher match then expected. vs. Charlton - Capital One Cup 3rd Round - Championship team - wasn't the best match for our B team but at the end of the first half Savage once again got the winning goal. vs. Aston Villa - Total Destruction thanks to Luna scoring 5 and Boquita getting a brace. Sure we gave up a wonder goal no worries, after scoring 7. vs. Sheffield Wednesday - Dahlen ended his goal drought and Boquita adds another to his tally. Good match. vs. Cardiff - Our B team didn't do bad, but the defense was less then stellar in the loss. Our new English striker Kenny scored in the 90th in his debut after his preseason injury. In the League we're currently in 4th place, 2 points behind first place leaders Manchester City. Our stadium capacity is up 13172 seats. Our Facilities - 39,517 seats in Forest Green Stadium!

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You beat manure to the title last season, therefore you are currently better than them, irrespective that they knocked you out of the cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 You beat manure to the title last season, therefore you are currently better than them, irrespective that they knocked you out of the cups. Since it favors me, I can accept that point of view as fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Forest Green - January Summary - English Premier League - 2036-2037 Season vs. Norwich - FA Cup 3rd Round - The League 1 side got nailed by us in a nice outing. vs. Chelsea - Capital One Cup Semi Final Leg 1 at home - We used the A team cause we could and got a nice 3-1 win. Shame we couldn't score anymore after the 20th minute though. vs. Liverpool - Our solid defense shut down their offence, and we cruised to a satisfying win. vs. Sheffield Wednesday - We played very well, excellent match, no stress for the team. vs. Derby - Backup squad continued the 3-0 trend in a great display. vs. Chelsea - Capital One Cup Semi Final Leg 2 away - First half we were completed dominated, and went down 2-0 at half time which would of knocked us out due to away goals. In the 75th minute we made a substitute and Raul scored twice ensuring the win. vs. Manchester United - Lefebvre use to play for them, and now he got the lone header on them. Yes it was a tough match but any win over Manyooooooo is 3 points more then them. vs. Aston Villa - Solid win, wasn't the most impressive considering how close to relegation they are. But its still 3 points. vs. Cardiff - First half was all us, Jaba got a hat trick as a central midfielder.... Second half started out lame with Cardiff getting 2 quick goals in succession, Luna in the 68th made it 4-2 which lasted to the end. I figure honestly we have a 9 point lead over Manchester City since they'll beat most teams. Its entirely in our hands and the schedule isn't that rough at first glance but that will ultimately be determined by our Champions League Performance next month, and on the FA Cup results. Season is looking good. We've had our share of injuries but not that bad. We only had 1 long term injury this season, torn hamstring by our best left defender. Everything is going well.

JerseyShoreDave Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Forest Green - February Summary - English Premier League - 2036-2037 Season vs. West Ham - Great win for the backup boys... Vagner getting a hat trick... amazing. vs. PSG - Champions League 1st Knockout Round Leg 1 away - Tough team, tougher match, Kenny got the loan goal in the 73rd on a free kick. vs. Watford - FA Cup 5th Round - Good win over the premiership side. Nice to see Luna getting a goal. vs. Manchester City - Capital One Cup Final - Great match, we scored first, then it got tied up in the 75th only for Kenny to get the winner in the 87th. We played well the entire match. vs. Middlesborough - Kenny gets a hat trick, but the story is... in the 71st minute the match was once again tied, we put in our last sub, Colin in the 75th... who gets the winning goal in the 85, and sets up Kenny's hat trick in 91st to secure the win for us. We're playing the best football since I've started here. We're at least 13 points ahead of second place Manchester United. Only matches that worry me a bit are the Champions League ones.

JerseyShoreDave Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Forest Green - March Summary - English Premier League - 2036-2037 Season vs. Tottenham - Dahlen tied up the match in the 74th. Tough match, but not bad for the backup squad. vs. PSG - Champions League 1st Knockout Round Leg 2 at home - What a battle, was lucky to win it. Most of the match we were losing 2-1 which would of led us to get knocked out of the Champions League by away goals... but in the second half Kenny got a brace and secured victory. vs. Nottingham Forest - FA Cup 6th Round - The NPower Championship side got dominated by the best rested players of our team. vs. Everton - Once again the best rested players had a cracker of a game, Kenny eeked out a last minute victory in the 90th minute that led us to victory. vs. Chelsea - Our A team froze up, gave up a goal in the 80th and we couldn't get a goal, which is rare this season. vs. Manchester City - Took a gamble here due to our Champions League Quarter Finals starting on the 1st of April against... Manchester United... We rested the A team to kick their ass yet again... its the noble thing to do. We still have a 6 point lead, assuming Manchester City wins their next league match. The only 2 matches in the League that I still have to play is Arsenal and Swansea... so I don't think I'm catchable but time will tell. "]New Youth Intake[/url] - Not seeing anyone yet of have first team potential... Facilities - Still have some work to do on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Forest Green - April Summary - English Premier League - 2036-2037 Season vs. Manchester United - Champions League Quarter Finals, Leg 1 away - We fell behind in the 4th minute, then our defense kicked it up and they didn't get another shot on goal... but it took till the 61st minute to tie it all up. We couldn't do more... vs. Newcastle - Our B team let us down, our Defense was spot on but our offense was nearly non existant in this match. vs. Manchester United - Champions League Quarter Finals Leg 2 at Home. Our defense was wonderful as Luna scored in the 35th on the counter attack. We switched to a 5-3-2 to run out the match and advance to the next round... Bayern Munich is our next opponent. vs. West Ham - FA Cup Semi Finals - Both sides played very well in this match. A controversial Penalty was given in the 32nd minute. Our offense sucked for most of the match though. Our A team was off target. In the 90th it took our Polish International to get the second goal. vs. Bradford - Worst team in the league fell to a brace from Kenny. Should of had 5 goals in this one. vs. Southampton - First half Southampton took us on and went up 2-0. Second half we brought on Andy and Ranieri to help the cause and with immediate effect Ranieri assisted on Vagner's goal and Andy scored his goal in 67th. A point is better than nothing. vs. FC Bayern - Champions League Semi Final Leg 1 at home - Both sides had over 20 shots on goals but our goal keepers were awesome on the night. At least we didn't let them get the away goal. vs. Watford - Raul got the brace against Watford, could of been 6 goals in this match, we played that good. vs. FC Bayern - Champions League Semi Final Leg 2 away - In the first minute Pierre got the goal off a sweet cross... In the 7th minute they scored on an aweful counterattack... The score remained the same which if it did we advanced on the away goals... but in the 82 minute Boquita got the second goal in the run of play... and in the 91st minute Jaba passed the ball to Kenny who passed it back to Jaba who kicked the ball far post to make it too the finals. With 3 matches remaining we have a 7 point lead over Manchester City. We first play Arsenal, then Swansea in the league, then swansea in the Fa cup final, then we play a crappy Fulham, and then we play FCP... managed by the former Manager of Manchester United... the one that JUST left... We could have the perfect season if we win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 The former Manchester United Manager took a Champions League title from me... could've had the perfect season, as I won the Premiership as well as the FA Cup... So close... Full update next post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Forest Green - May and Season End Summary - English Premier League - 2036-2037 Season vs. Arsenal - Our A team had a great match here where we totally dominated Arsenal. Very nice match. This win ensured us the League Title vs. Swansea - Our B team let us down here, at least Tony scored in the 89th to tie it up. Our defense was good but our offense slacked hard. vs. Swansea - FA Cup Final - Boring midfield battle match, Jaba converted the penalty kick for a win. Wasn't the best match ever. vs. Fulham - Sad loss, absolutely aweful, other then the goal in the 6th minute... I figured the Champions League would end bad. vs. FCP - Posted the results in the Last post. Crappy way to end the season. Moving on. Stadium Expansion Announcement In 13 months the expansion shall be done! Current Facilities No need to bring up that our Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment aren't maxed... I already know that... as soon as I get the option to improve... I'll do it! New Sponsorship deal Sure its an increase of 100% but its only 14k... for 7 years... 14k doesn't go very far.... Shareholder's rob us of 7 million.... The Finances - 39 Million in the bank! Initial Budgets - We have about 200k/week to use and 19.3 million on transfers. Nothing like the other teams but we make it work. The Transfers - Incoming Tchomogo - Our youth development person picked him out and for once on a youngster... I agree and was willing to pay him pretty good for his age. Kid's got talent. Lansbury - Most of our finances went towards liberating Kenny from Tottenham, and it worked out well for us. Seminario - Liberated this gem of a defender from Anderlecht who immediately became a starting center back. Probably has a decade to give. Outgoing Merry - Probably our best youth product... ever. Its not saying much though. He ended up at Fleetwood playing in the Blue Square Bet North. Might be good enough for Blue Square Premier one day... definitely not Forest Green Material. Gibson - Tried to sell the goalkeeper but was able to get a decent loan fee for him. Guildford - Figured someone wanted a low end midfielder thats home grown in England... no one wants to buy, but Middlesborough had him on loan. Kamga - 3.7 Million for him is good as he had no future on the team. Faure - Went to Southampton for a relatively cheap 750k. He played well and the now 35 year old is retiring next month. Martin Jones - Another home grown english midfielder who gets no love except for over expensive loans... Alexis Francois - Went to France for 500k. The 35 year old scored 11 goals for the League 1 Outfit. We spent 34.5 Million on 2 players really, and sold 5 for 5 million. The Squad - the squad is stronger than ever, no real weaknesses on the team... just the desire to get even better. World Club Championship - 2 Solid wins for the best team on the Planet... Champions League Table - We had a much harder road to the Finals then FCP... English Premier League Table - #1 English FA Cup - Yes we won. Capital One Cup - Yes the trend is, We won. Key Players Kenny Lansbury - Our 23 year old English Striker had a great season. In 39 appearances he scored 29 Goals with 11 Assists with 7 POMs His average rating was 7.76. He'll be around awhile at this rate. Augusto Luna - Our 25 year old Argentinian Striker did well this season. In 37 appearances he scored 27 goals, converted a penalty, had 10 assists and had 5 POMs. Safe to say he'll be around here awhile. Boquita - The 24 year old brazilian is going back to the midfield... on paper he looks to be a strong striker. In practice... not so good. In 41 matches he scored 14 with 14 assists and 2 POMs. For Brazil he scored 1 goal in 16 caps... enough said! Back to being a midfielder. Paupol Lavie - Our 24 year old Belgian international is one of the best players on the team. In 41 matches he scored twice, with 8 assists and 2 POMs. His average rating is 7.66. Just signed a new contract keeping him here thru 2042, we're all set. Jaba Gogatishvili - Our 26 year old Georgian international had a tough time injury wise. He still played in 33 matches, scoring 9 goals with 13 assists with 4 POMs and was 5/5 in penalties with an average rating of 7.54. Great hardworking player. Pierre Lefebvre - Our 24 year old french defender is one of the best. In 41 matches he scored 7 headers with 5 POM performances... with an average rating of 7.79. Can't believe Manchester United sold him, can't believe I only pay him 60k/week Juan Carlos Seminario -The 22 year old Peruvian defender came from Anderlecht for only 9 Million. In 37 matches he scored twice with 3 POM honors... He had an average rating of 7.89. Big future ahead of him. Torhout Belgian Pro League - At least they got 2nd place. Europa League - Torhout Lost to eventual champions Barcelona. Thoughts Sad that we could of won everything and the last match of the season we lost it. A few 21 and unders will have to be registered or sold this coming season so we could have a small exodus of players. Be interesting to see what is out there to buy in terms of players...
