rancer890 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think that my current tactic is finally scoring us goals (6 goals in 3 games). The only problem is that we gave up even more in those games edit: Page 2 now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 7 points from 8th place Lucky Mile (who have a game in hand) with 8 games left We have a month break before resuming play in the League Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 What could have been... if not for 2 penalties and an own goal... I am in contention (really don't know how else to say it...) for a few more records in the Hall of Shame most games lost in a row - currently stands at 7 right now (record is 8) most games without winning - currently at 16 straight games (record is 18) This has been my worst experience in FM history I will definately not try again with a HK team in this challenge... Dunno whether to be happy or not, but we actually drew a game. There goes one of the records lol. We did beat the other record though...current streak is now 19 games without a win.

rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well, we just got relegated. My worst FM experience ever Managerial Career: Games: 20 Wins: 0 (should have been 1!) Draws: 4 (should have been 3!) Losses: 16 Goals for: 18 Goals against: 49 I'm not sure if I want to continue, but I'll see how long the winless streak goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 My horrible season at Tung Po: Standings Not much else to say really. The positives: Detinho's 7 goals in 18 games we were in most games at the end of the season after I switched tactics for the 3rd time in 9 games made a 150k profit for the club The negatives: everything else owner of 2 Hall of Shame records Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer82 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm definately leaving HK. To where, either north to China, west to India, or to Singapore. India looks like it'll be a good game, I had one on FM05 and you just fly through the seasons. Granted I was East Bengal, so had a huge squad with lots of talent but still, good game to play. So when I do play your challenge, I shall be heading to India. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have decided to go north to China. There's only one relegation spot in the First Division and they have 13 teams. I might have a better chance of surviving the first few seasons. I'm holidaying the game right now and I will see what team I get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have decided (well, I had no other choice) to take over Rizhiquan No players and no staff. At least I have a clean slate to start with. Rizhiquan: A semi-pro club with Regional reputation. Estimated value $80k. A big stadium that can hold over 32,000 spectators. Basic training and youth facilities and also have a youth academy. I think we're the only semi-pro club in the Division but I think we can survive with some smart signings.

rancer890 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Things are looking well right now. The scouts aren't crap (found a scout with scouting CA and PA over 10 ) and found some good coaches and decent Ass Man.

rancer890 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Guangdong Rizhiquan 2008 Half Season Update My first season in China has been relatively successfully. It looks like I'll be staying in China for more than one season Standings Standings We are in 10th place. I think we can aim for a midpack finish. We should avoid relegation as long as my players know how to play football. Our results so far Schedule Highlights: Wins vs Binhai, Liming, and Hohhot Lowlights: destroyed by Shenzhen... Squad and transfers Squad Transfers Balanced scoring throughout the team. There was a bit of an injury crisis but I handled it well. Our scouts (all 3 with balanced stats. They have at least a 9 Judging CA and 9 Judging PA) found some good players which led to our success so far. Also have 6 players coming to the team on July 26 when the transfer window reopens, to improve depth in case of another injury crisis. Finances Finances We've been recovering from some big losses in preseason. We should end of the season with a profit. Pretty brief, but I will give a more detailed update after I finish the season.

rancer890 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Some good news and bad news about my home form... Good we score a lot at home. We're undefeated. Bad we draw a lot at home. Usually when we have a 2 goal lead at halftime. In all 4 draws we should have had a win I'm 99% sure that I won't be relegated this season.

rancer890 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 My favourite result this season : Rizhiquan 3-3 Shenzhen Why this one, and not my 5-0 demolition of Liming? Pretty obvious really... Shenzhen are 1st in the league Shenzhen won every game this season when they score 3 goals or more no team has scored 3 goals against them this season we got destroyed 5-0 in the first game So, this is my favourite result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
