jonahno6 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 First of all, I looked for a thread and couldn't find. So apologises if there is one. Royal Standard de Liège, usually referred to as Standard de Liège, is a Belgian football club from the city of Liège. They are the current champions of Belgium. Standard is one of the most popular clubs in Belgium and historically the third most successful club in the Belgian First Division. The team is known as "Les Rouches" ("The Reds" with a Walloon accent) for the colour of their home shirts. Their home matches are played in the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, known as the "Chaudron de Sclessin", with a 30,000 men capacity. There are several notable supporter's groups, the four largest being "Hell-Side 81", "Ultras Inferno 96", "Kop Rouche", and "PHK" - each associated with different areas of the stadium. The club was founded in 1900 by students at the College of Saint-Servais in Liege, though an administrative error records the date as 1898. Their inspiration for the name was Standard de Paris, a popular Parisian club at the time. A high point of the club's history was the 1982 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, in which they were beaten by FC Barcelona in the final. In 1982, a scandal was revealed implicating several players and trainers in an alleged plan to influence other Belgian clubs to "ease off" toward the end of the season, so that Standard might face Barcelona without injuries. As a result, the club received a heavy fine and - in order to pay it - had to sell its best players. The Belgian titles stopped coming, yet the club remained very popular across Belgium - even in the Flemish north. In 1996, the club absorbed R.F.C. Seraing. Standard appeared to see something of a resurgence in the 2005-2006 season, finishing the Belgian League in second place and earning themselves a place in the Champions League qualifiers. On April 20, 2008 they won their first Belgian League title in 25 years with 3 games left, claiming an unbeaten record of 31 games. Standard defeated their archrivals Anderlecht in the decisive match, with 2 goals from Dieumerci Mbokani who had played for Anderlecht the previous season. The team was one of the youngest in the Jupiler League. 32 Scouts from foreign teams were in the stadium with Marouane Fellaini as the main focus of their interests.

jonahno6 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Cheers. Made a few good signings so far, most noticeably Kevin Mirallas from Lille for £500k. Became unhappy after Tafforeau was sold . Also brought in Mpenza on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

megafan2005 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I had a quick run through season and did okay. I sold Defour for his release clause which gave me a big transfer budget to play with.

BlackPearl Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I think Nicolae Dica is a player that'd suit you. Can get him for £1.9m. I bought him from Standard Liege for £5.6m. Good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinsanity666 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Keep us updated mate, i'll keep reading up on it. Standard were much better than Liverpool today.

footballfan08 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Nice job. I'm also managing in Belgium. I'm wtih K.V. Oostende in the second division. We are doing pretty well, only about 2 months in. My top scorer is my 16 year old forward Marcel Verschueren. He originally came in because of injuries/suspensions (a lot of my players have some tempers lol), he scored 2 goals on his debut and has been a regular ever since. I don't know if its just because it isn't the transfer window but I can't get anyone on loan at all. The option doesn't even come up. Good luck with your season.

jonahno6 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Mirallas has been superb, but I got lucky with him. Was unhappy at the sale of a player and wanted to leave. So LOSC put a £500k price tag on him even though he was worth £3 Million. Daryl Murphy has been good. He's transfer listed from the start for 350k. Pick him up. You should get a few players from Juventus as they are your parent team. I got Luci and Marchisio in the summer and De Ceglie in January. Luci has been the best so far. Sebastian Blanco is a good cheap talent, who should devolp nicely. Might also sell him for big cash in a few years time. Make sure you tie Defour and Fellani and long term contracts with a high realese clause of around £25 Million. And set their transfer status as indespensible to the team. Teams should back of then. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
