rinso Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 nice going there, 5th place!! getting better and better. you're getting close to the promotion places, and maybe a good start to the season might see you clinch one! sponsorships dont seem to bring much in, ive noticed that, well, nowhere near what you get in European leagues anyways. im getting £50-£60k for two year deals, but its up and down... £60k is the most ive had..

ToMexico!! Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Slowly but surely rancer it took me 5/6 seasons to get promoted. At least you've achieved a higher position than the media thought. :KUTGW: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMexico!! Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Chairman is being a noob again. Accepted another bid for a player. Albeit its for £1,000,000 for a 325k valued player. Plus he's injured. And i only signed him 1k. But he had score 7 in 7 from AMC with 6 assists. Will get 700k of that fee so will now have 1mil to replace him and Deming who went last season.

rancer890 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks rinso and ToMexico!! Offers are coming in for ST Zhang Yuan and Chinese U21 international DC Shao Xiaolong which I'm rejecting unless they give something really attracting (like a US$100k + 50% sell on clause:p).

rancer890 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 After pre-season, Liu Lijia (YP1) has won the starting striker position, and Zheng Jiajun (YP2) has made my starting lineup.

Sazchu Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 - Sazchu - Kwok Keung Athletic Association - season 1 2026/27 - My first season at Kwok Keung and as expected we were fighting bravely against relegation, but we managed to survive, just barely. Final League Standings I have decided to start doing smaller summaries than i did with Kwai Tsing, therefore i wont write anything about the cups expect where i got( like, Senior Shield - Quarter Final - 0-7 v South China) But i will also write up a list of top goalscorers assists and avarage ratings. I actually forgot to take any screenshots during the first season, so the only one will be the screenshot i took of the league later on(kinda gives it away that i survived the 2nd season, not that it matters as that will come soon up aswell.)

Sazchu Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 - Kwok Keung Athletic Association - Season 2 2027/28 - Hong Kong First Division - Yet again we were predicted bottom place but some decent results(including a 9-5 win against HKFC after being under 3-4 in HT) kept us never in danger of being relegated, we didnt do better than expected though by getting 8th place again, our goal is to slowly climb up the table, even if it takes us 20 seasons to get to stable 3rd-5th. Final League Standings One interesting thing about the 70 goals of South China.. 26 of those goals came in 12 games from one player, he then left for Dortmund.

Sazchu Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 One thing that is partly sad to see, yet at the same time a great thing to see, one of my favourite FM player of all time, Abdulai Seidu, who played for 18 years under my managment at Kwai Tsing has retired, it marks the first time i have brought in a player who plays for more than 10 years under my control, unfourtunetly he did not decide to be in contact with football as an employment anymore.

rancer890 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have a tough decision to make. Wuhan has offered me $500k for my star striker Zhang Yuan (worth $26k). It seems like a no-brainer but I really don't want to sell him. He's only 24. I don't mind the money but... EDIT: I've sold him to 1st place Wuhan:(... Here's what I get: $500k 50% sell-on clause $975k buy back clause $500k if Wuhan win promotion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazchu Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Let's hope Wuhan win promotion, two seasons later they sell him on for a few millions :þ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think Wuhan should win promotion (10 points ahead of 3rd place with 10 games to go), which is why I put the clause in the first place. AND if I have any regrets about this transfer, I can always get Yuan back... One thing is for sure, I have a much greater chance to become professional after this season. My team hasn't missed him much. Lijia and Yang are scoring combined 1 goal a game these days, and Zheng Jiajun (Youth Player 2) is scoring as well as he's my 1st striker option off the bench. EDIT: Current Table We might be joining Wuhan and Yuan if we keep winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Say hello to Hugh Jarse, the new manager of Kwok Keung Athletic Association. Ufortunately the board are fed up with me already so the future doesn't look too bright to be honest! I'm having a nightmare trying to find an assistant at the moment, every decent one doesn't wanna come. At the moment the squad is absolutely terrible, I wouldn't consider any of them close to decent, among the ranks is 41 year old John Moore who, surprisingly, has 6 caps for Hong Kong. When I checked his profile I also noticed a saving grace, he's got a staff profile I've found my new assistant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 In the off-season, I only made a couple signings, 1 regen, and a good GK. I've sold $14k of players (3 of them) so far. In the meantime, my key players are getting injured. (But they should be ready come the beginning of the season) My first 4 youth player projects are all going to be with my team to start the season.

ToMexico!! Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 2016 - Hangzhou - Chinese Super League Media Prediction - 3rd Final Position - 1st League Table Transfer Budget - 365k Wage Budget - 28.04k p/w League Another impressive season for Hangzhou as we had succumbed to a 5 point deficit by the half way stage of the season. Shandong were the front runners and never looked like losing. We kept the pressure on and waiting for them to slip up, which they did. We secured a 7 game winning streak to take top spot. It was a tight closing stage to the season but we came out on top and managed to secure a second successive title victory. Positions Graph Cup 1st Round Tianjin 2-2 Hangzhou (Tianjin win on Penalties) We were unlucky to end the game like so, they snuck a late injury time equaliser and the fact that my best penalty taker has 6 for Penalty Kicks we never looked like winning the shootout. Asian Champions League I had said last season we had the possibility of qualifying for the next round after the group stages, that was until i realised it was only the top team from each group to go through. I was very pleased with my 2nd Place Finish[/url in Group G. ASEAN Cup Have no idea what this cup competition is all about. Nor did my players i think. 3 games in 7 days was killer and we finished bottom of the group. Transfers/Squad Notable players out this season were Guo Deming, the pre arrange transfer to Changchun for 1.3m and Qu Xiaohui to Qingdao for 1m. Nie Tao also went to Xiamen for 100k and reserve player Gao Feng left for 8k. Those sales meant we had some real money to spend for once. Ling Yi'nan came in, in July as a decent replacement for Deming. Scoring 11 in 13 in the league. The other major signing was Liu Xing for 250k, as cover for LB/CB, but next season will probably slot into LB. My best buy of the season has to be Nur Ruslan[/url who came in from PSM in Indonesia. Transfers Squad+Stats Top Scorer - Erdenebayar, 22 Most Assists - Viquez, Erdenebayar, 14 MOM - Erdenabayar, 5 Ave Rating - Erdenebayar, 7.45 Average attendance increased again.

I managed to claim the Manager of the Month for April, June, August and September. Accumulating to the Manager Of The Year award. We managed to have the first 3 players in the Young Player Of The Year Award Aims for next seaon Win a 3rd consecutive title.
