JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Dont see you getting relegated. Who did you buy ? A striker from Ghana on a free transfer from Rosenborg. Two great Central Midfielders one French, one English to replenish those slackers sold. The french one is demanding on salary, but not as bad a Guildford wanting 60k... when I couldn't offer him anything over 25k at the time... And a Burkina Faso Left/Central Defender to replace a lousy defender that a Npower Championship team wanted out of the blue... plus this new guy is better, was on a free, and his salary is less... win... win... win... The midfielders have done quite well so far. Haven't played the striker cause he's doing well in the African Cup of nations and my new defender was just signed on the last day. The midfielders will help the team compared to who they replaced greatly. The rest are just filling in what's needed. Will see how they workout.

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Forest Green - February Update - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season vs. Cardiff - Comeback from behind tie, should of won the match but couldn't score in the second half. vs. Newcastle - carbon copy of our Cardiff Match so annoying. vs. Nottingham Forest - For a team close to relegation they battled us like hell, thank god for the last 15 minutes to get the victory. vs. Sheffield United - FA Cup 5th - NPower Championship Team - We dominated them and won with a healthy 3-0 victory. Every striker scored a goal. vs. Barnsley - Last place in the table scored first, but we came back from behind to take it back. Good win, should of been better though. We are 13th in the table, 14 points clear of relegation. Yannick Faure is the player of the month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Forest Green - March Update - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season vs. Fulham - Can't believe we nailed Fulham so hard... we dominated this match. vs. Middlesborough - We barely beat the Championship side that won the FA Cup last year. We're thru to the Semifinals. It was a great match for the fans, great 4-3 victory. vs Everton - Comeback from behind tie in the 93rd minute... Not the best played match, but I'll take the point. vs. West Brom - This match was destined to be a tie but we scored twice... in the 90th and 92nd to earn the victory. Was probably our best month this season. We're in 12th place 16 points above relegation. We have the Player of the Month both first place AND Third Place. Now Chelsea wants me... the budgets make me yawn... lol It took till the 2nd year of Managing Forest Green in the Premiership to once again get managerial offers. None of which even made me blink on any level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Forest Green - April Update - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season vs. Manchester United - At least the former Manchester United Man Gary Speck scored a goal, not a bad performance overall. vs. Tottenham - The woodwork caused us lots of pain today, just wasn't in the cards. Otherwise we played quite well. vs. Coventry - FA Cup Semifinal - Championship Side - They're in 5th place and currently on course to make the playoffs back to the Premiership and they played as if they never left. It would of gone to overtime but our defender won it for us in extra time. To the final we go. vs. Stoke - Very close match early on, second half we outplayed them but no one else scored. vs. Brighton - All 3 strikers scored in the first half giving us the victory. And West Ham is next month... my mistake lol... We're in 12th place, 20 points out of relegation, I think we're safe with 3 matches to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Forest Green - May Update - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season vs. West Ham - We tied the match shortly after half time. We battled hard but West Ham came out in front. vs. Southampton - Played the worst team in the League and lost... We played out backup team since 3 days later was the FA Cup Final. vs. Tottenham - FA Cup Final - We somehow won this match... words can't do it justice... 4-3 to Forest Green! vs. Sheffield Wednesday - First half was a complete battle, second half we played a lot better and scored twice for the win. We finished the 12th in the Premier League. 21 points above relegation. I was given a choice of a couple training camp locations... naturally I chose the USA.

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Forest Green - Season Review - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season Premier League Table - 12th place, next goal top 10. Capital One Cup - Newcastle knocked us out in the 3rd round. English FA Cup - We actually won it, EUROPA CUP is now on the agenda! The Squad - Doing well, the squad is a little large due to being unable to unload some players. Have a diverse group of players who are doing well and we set up the foundations of the team to climb the table. The Transfers - We made a huge mistake paying 7.5 million for a goalie... when the 400k goalie outperforms him. Brought in a few good midfielders between 1.9 and 3.8 million. a nice 300k striker from Iran. A great french midfielder. Going out to Celtic was our young midfielder Guildford, he wanted 60k a week when at the time I could only afford 25k... Now we can go 37,500. Got 8.75 million for him so I can't complain. The Finances - Almost 43 million in the bank! Key Players Andy Payton - Our 27 year old English striker is still the best we've ever had. In 45 appearances he scored 31 goals, making 1 out of 2 Penalty kicks with 16 assists and 5 POM honors. His contract is up soon and I hope he doesn't expect more money, is contract has gone up cause he's on the match highest earner clause. Rankara Shoai - Our 30 year old Swedish striker is still #2 at the club. In 34 appearances he scored 24 times with 10 assists and 4 POMs. He did get injured a bit this season, but otherwise was on target. Hasan Mousavi - Iran's best striker is 28 years old and did well. Asian Championships interfered with him playing for us in January but that happens, He played 28 times scoring 15 goals with 1 assists and 1 POM. Internationally he played 18 times, scoring 6 goals, converting a penalty with 5 assists. Unless I get someone magnificient I have my top 3 strikers next season... I think. Yannick Faure - Our new 29 year old french midfielder is one of the highest paid at 37,500. In 20 matches he scored twice with 9 assists and 5 POMs. His average rating is 7.81. I figure I'll lose him sooner or later, but I'm guarenteed getting 12,750,000 for him. Jeronimo Pedroso - Our 22 year old Keeper came over from Portsmouth for 400k. He played 21 matches conceded 34, had 3 clean sheets and 1 POM. I think he's going out on loan. Thoughts Goal Keeper... 7.5 million dud... Need better players to make a run in the Premier League. Hopefully Europa Cup can stimulate better players my way. Need a new stadium soon as we're selling out our current one way too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Torhout - Season Review - English Premier League - 2030-2031 Season Belgian Pro League - 3rd place finish, once again Europa Cup and a new manager is coming since the current one got sacked for a Danish Manager In the Qualifying round to the Europa cup they defeated Vitesse 3-0 at home and 1-0 away. They qualified for the Knockout Round out of Group H. Europa Cup Knockout Round... Saint Etienne of France knocked them out in Round 1... Belgian Cup - They actually made the final for the first time since I left and blew it.... Torhout is still regarded as Belgium's best but they're no where near they were.

But they're still the lowest in the Premier League by a huge sum... I went to America to play MLS clubs as part of our preseason... all were to busy for us... our preseason consisted of 1 match...

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Forest Green - August Review - English Premier League - 2031-2032 Season Season tickets went from 4219 to 4245. vs. Manchester United - Community Shield - Got dominated the entire match. Got lucky to score.... Penalties saved us. Here's the match review. And here's the report that shows the keeper saving the penalties... 3 in a row in fact! In this moment we bested them. vs. Manchester United - Got beaten fairly, too much for us to get anything but a single goal. vs. Stoke - We tied it in the 53rd, wasn't a bad match, we just let a goal in. vs. Swansea - Our only and top goal scorer played against his old club and got us a win. Can't complain! I know is extremely early in the season but after 3 matches we're in 11th place, 3 points above relegation. Europa League Group G contains us. AZ Alkamaar, Olympiakos, and CSKA Sofia. I think we can get top 2 in this group, might not be easy but doable. Group H contains Torhout, AS Nancy Lorraine, Fiorentina, and Tel-Aviv. I predict Fiorentina and Torhout to move on.

Better a point for us then giving them 3. We're in 5th place. 9 points above relegation, 5 points out of first. Don't overreact to things yet, We still haven't had most of our tough matches.

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Forest Green - October Review - English Premier League - 2031-2032 Season vs. AZ Alkamaar - What a battle, we started the scoring early, but they attacked us with barrage after barrage...we caught them in counter attacks. We weren't at our best with most of our defenders hurt... but we definitely fought for it. vs. Tottenham - The score is decieving... we actually kept up with them in terms of possession and shots on target, but neither could break the others defenses. vs. West Brom - Relegation candidates got a pounding from us. We totally outclassed them, was a great match. vs. Olympiakos - Media made it out that we couldn't compete... on the other hand we dominated and beat them 3-0 in a match that me look better then I am.... I'll take it. vs. Chelsea - Sure they scored the first goal in 5 minutes, but then we settled down and played them like a well oiled machine. This match shows we slowly can play with the big boys. vs. West Brom - Capital One Cup 4th Round - Second time this month we play West Brom, while its not as dominating as our first encounter I still will take a good match to continue our winning ways. We're currently in 4th place, 7 points out of 1st. Feeling bad for Brighton yet... 9 straight losses... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't believe it. Can't fault the match. vs. Olympiakos - We went to Greece for a Europa Cup encounter that saw us totally dominate the Greeks. Shoai got a 9 minute hat trick in the first half, and Mousavi got a 5 minute brace in the second half. Great match. vs. Manchester City - We scored first, then Manchester City scored 6 times before halftime. Yes Andy got a hat trick but this was one crazy match... I'll make believe the 8-3 loss never happened. vs. Middlesborough - The newly promoted team was stunned by our dominance. Only 1 shot on goal. vs. Bristol City - Played the second worse team in the league on it was tougher then I expected, we still won 2-0 but they played better then most teams, even had more shots on goal then us. vs. Newcastle - We did well in the first half to get 2 goals before halftime, after halftime they got one back but couldn't capitalize anymore. We're third place in the league 7 points behind Arsenal in 1st. Is Brighton the worse team ever with 14 straight losses???? Extra Transfer funds - 3.5 million, funny to make that announcement now.

Phenomenal thread so far, such a shame that Torhout has't been able to stay at the same level since you left them. Thanks for noticing part of this thread is to see how the computer handles clubs like Torhout. I am still in amazement when Torhout fires managers who can't win the domestic league... even Guardiola. Not a single manager since me has won the Belgian Cup either. We'll see how they do this season in the Europa League. Champions League this season, push next. Well done though.

Not the best played match but our Semi final encounters will be a lot harder. vs. CSKA (Sofia) - Euro Cup Group G - For some reason they're held in too much regard. We dominated this match and 3 players got braces... its just a demolition job that helped us out nicely. vs. Cardiff - The relegation Candidates couldn't get much done today as it should be, we played well but form slipped in the second half. vs. Arsenal - We played the leaders Arsenal, and took the lead in the 35th minute. Arsenal tied it and it ended 1-1. They were just slightly better then us statistically speaking. Very proud taking 2 points away from them. vs. AZ Alkamaar - Europa League Group G - boring tie each side had only 2 shots on goal, it was a midfielders hell as 3 midfielders got slightly injured during the match. vs. Fulham - With 3 days rest after the Europa League match... a loss happened. Not unexpected. vs. Liverpool - Our French Striker's brace is just part of the story. Liverpool has fallen on tough time, down to 15th place... vs. Aston Villa - Got 2 goals in the first, second half we fell asleep let a weak goal in and almost ended up a tie, but we got the three points. We're in 4th spot, 8 points out of first place. Europe League Group Phase - As you can see both Torhout and Forest Green Advance to the Knockout Stages of the Europa Cup Europa League - Knockout Round Torhout takes on Spartak Moscow... winner gets either Anji or A.C.

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I can't believe Brighton are going to stay up after losing their opening 14 (and more?) games. Brighton lost each of their first 14 matches of the season. Brighton Fixtures. I can reveal if Brighton would of had 1 more point, they would of stayed up thanks to goal difference over Cardiff of just 1. What a difference that 1 point would of made. I kinda feel bad, I bought a striker from them in the preseason for 700k... who scored 28 goals in 46 matches. They bought my striker Aaron Meade for 500k who scored 2 goals in 11 matches. No injuries. Their best striker scored 18 in 40 matches... their second best scorers scored 4 and weren't strikers.... Its sad considering they use a 4-4-2 formation. Their manager is Michael Owen.

I think we're still on the bottom of the Premiership in Sponsorship deals... Was the month of Claude... vs. Aston Villa - Tight match, we won it in the 94th minute. But the good guys won. vs. Fulham - We dominated this Premiership match, prepped us well for the Europa League Final just 3 days later. vs. Fulham - Europa League Final - Statistically we were better in this match. 66th minute they went up... Took us til the 87th to tie it... then in 90th we won it. I'm proud we did the double this year. Community Shield and Europa League titles... vs. Liverpool - We should of lost this match but somehow in the 93rd match we tied it. English Premier League - We got 6th place in the League I am the EPL Manager of the Year! Capital One Cup - Lost in the Semifinals to Tottenham due to away goals. FA Cup - Lost in the 5th Round to Manchester United. Our Europa Cup Tree to the Final! The Squad - We've improved it enough to win a European Title... The Transfers - We did well this time, Our new striker Claude Colin was a bit expensive, but he did well. Francois was a bargain. The Finances - Almost 39 million in cash at the club. You'll notice our massive 7 Year Stadium Sponsorship deal at 4.22k per season... WOW. No wonder why we have the lowest sponsorship in the Premier League. Key Players Andy Payton - Our 28 year old Irish striker had yet another banner year, I'm expecting him to resign a new 5 year deal anyday now. In 58 appearances he scored 36 goals, converted 2/3 of his penalties, had 23 assists with 9 POM honors. He averaged 7.56. He's not the greatest player but he uses what he got better then anyone. Alexis Francois - Our 30 year old French Striker is new to the club. He played 46 times scoring 28 goals with 13 assists and 2 POM honors. He did quite well and its tough to decide who is going to start for the club next season. Ole Erik Dahlen - Our 23 year old Norwegian Striker had a great season till his injury. In 31 total appearances he scored 16 goals with 14 assists and 1 POM. Not sure who is going to get the 3rd starting striker job yet. Claude Colin - Our 28 year old French striker is considered a big, popular striker in the world that would increase our shirt sales. We purchased him from Real Madrid for 9 million. In 24 appearances he scored 14 times with 6 assists and 4 POM honors. Based on T-shirt sales alone he should start.... right? lol Yannick Faure - Our 30 year old French midfielder had a banner year with an average rating of 7.62. In 45 appearances he scored 4 goals with 14 assists with 5 POM honors. He's one of our highest paid players cause he's just that good. Ryan Bartlett - Our 32 year old Welsh Goalie was our top pick. In 63 appearances he conceded 76 goals, had 21 clean sheets... Initial Budgets are set, first have to renew some of my low contracts that are up next year for about 5 players. Have throw some money around. Not sure how much are going to be left over. Thoughts Anytime a club wins silverware like the Community Shield and moreso the Europa Cup... its a successful campaign. I have an idea of a few players that I discovered while procrastinating writing this. Its our last season at The New Lawn as The Forest Green Stadium is going to be finished after the end of this season. Next step is to get just a little better and start getting some Champions League action. So far the Europa League is easier then the Premier League. Torhout I already showed how they did in the Europa Cup, so might as well add how they did domestically. Belgian Pro League - Torhout Finished in First Place! Belgian Cup - They got eliminated in the Quarter Finals by Gent At least I won't have to knocked them out of the Europa League this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Torhout finally won back the title and I think they are gonna lose their manager again. Could you post the how the belgian league is doing ? Belgian League is 10th Overall. No manager sacking, his job is stable so he'll start the season, I bet if he loses the league he'll be gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyShoreDave Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Forest Green - PreSeason Summary - English Premier League - 2032-2033 Season Season Expectations - Lets not get ahead of ourselves.. Top Half finish In the 2032 European Championships... Italy defeated Greece 3-1 in the final!!!! Forest Green is ranked 46th club in Europe. Our first Feeder club - Sogndal Norway! Manchester United gets 65 million from their sponsors... we get 1.4 million... average is 16.25 million.... We're the Current European Champions... somethings wrong here. vs. Preston - Blue Square Bet North - Cruised to victory as expect against lesser competition. Hat trick for Andy Payton even though 2 were penalties. vs. Partizan - Top Flight Serbian Club - 3-0 Victory, solid match, we did very well, could've scored more but they do have an above average defense. vs. Freiburg - Division 2 German Club - We scored twice in 5 minutes, I got the team to attack hard... we conceded 2 goals in the experiment, very satisfied. vs. Hearts - Scottish Premier League club - Totally dominated them. They had 1 shot on goal in each half. vs. Atromitos - Greek Top Flight - We shook up the roster and things didn't work out too well, no worries, we'll stick to what works. Preseason Thoughts Good players are tough to come by and cost some money. We reorganized our squad just a bit. There isn't much deadwood other then the dead wood taken out last season that we're trying to sell and a few guys here/there. Got rid of 2 strikers, getting 2 defenders to lessen their load. I'm working on the clubs biggest purchase ever, if he can get a work permit. Squad unity will be high considering only 2 defenders, a goalkeeper, and hopefully the influential young midfielder will join us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Forest Green - August Summary - English Premier League - 2032-2033 Season Season Tickets - went from from 4245 to 4556 vs. Manchester United - Was dominated and lost. Still one of the best teams. vs. Liverpool - Solid victory against a good mid table team. vs. Paris Saint-Germain - European Supercup - We were competitive, we even had more shots on goal... but our counter attacking style for this match failed us as we lost it 2-1 So far we're in 11th place, 6 points behind 1st... 2 points above relegation Europa League Group Phase We're in a group with AS Nancy Lorraine, Dnipro of the Ukraine, and Zejeznicar of Bosnia... I think we're through to the knockout phase. Thoughts Early assessment says to me we're a 6-10th ranked Premiership Team. Media says 9th, I must of missed the odds post. I spent 15 million on a midfielder... its insane the price it takes for good players at this level and my team doesn't make enough to provide at this point. Its going to be tough... At least the players get along good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShoreDave Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Forest Green - September Summary - English Premier League - 2032-2033 Season vs. Fulham - We beat Fulham in what was a beautiful match. We dominated and got 2 braces. vs. AS Nancy Lorraine - Europa League Group I - 2 hat tricks led this demolition of a match... sure we gave up 2 goals to the front runners of the French League right now... but our offense is awesome. vs. Chelsea - We fought hard and was a competitive match as we kept up with Chelsea in the first half, second half it was all us, but couldn't capitalize until the 76th minute. vs. Hull - Capital One Cup 3rd Round - Championship Club - Hull came to win, and actually in 90 minutes battled us to a 3-3 tie. We brought in Andy Payton in extra time where he scored twice for the win. Hull could be primed for the Premiership next season. vs. Tottenham - We should of lost this match due to the onslaught brought upon us in the second half, so a point is a just result. vs. Dnipro - Europa League Group I - We took the early lead, then doubled it with a penalty in the 12th minute going into half time 2-0 up. We got our 3rd goal, then we gave up 2 goals in the last 15... we win but Dnipro can play. In the League we're in 7th place, 5 points out of first.
