Sazchu Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Good luck Sazchu I'm almost through another season, update will probably come some time tomorrow. thanks, though i didnt have any luck(finished the season) and ended 3rd place as expected, one bright spot though is that during that period i noticed a player from my youth, then 16 he played 7 games conceded 3 goals(2 of them in a draw against Dalian) and kept a clean sheet in 5 games, by the look of things he might actually be too good for this team in a few seasons. The club is still National reputation, rinso did you manage to get HKFC from National reputation? I myself am World Class reputation, the stadium has 12,000 seats which we filled completely in our second game after the expansion against Urawa Reds, I might throw up an update or two later tonight, if not then tomorrow night(if i have time), if anyone is wondering i'm currently at seasons 2052/53 so i got a couple of seasons to report on.

DodgeeD Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm thinking of giving this one a go once I've done some other challenges on FM 09.

Spleen! Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Season Update 2011 - Selangor Maljis Perbandaran Subang Jaya Premier League: 6th (Predicted 9th) Table FA Cup: Quarter Final Malaysia Cup: 5th in Group 1 After the 4th place finish last year, the media decided we'd be good enough to finish 9th this time around. However, we were unable to replace the DC we lost on a free, so a 17 year old from the youth team had to play there most of the season. On the plus side we managed to bring in another decent striker for nothing, and a better MR. After a terrible start, with only 9 points from our opening 8 games, we started to perform much better, and managed to finish 6th, 2 places down on last year, despite getting more points. We were never in contention for promotion or relegation all season. This year saw our best performance in the FA Cup as we reached the QF, and saw our first appearance in the Malaysia Cup after our league performance last year. We finished 5th of 6, below 4 Super League teams. The finances went downhill again, to almost 400k in the red. There just doesn't seem to be any money in Malaysia for us. Looking ahead to next season, a couple of new DC have been signed to try and plug the gaps in the defence. No changes have been made thus far to the attack which was so prolific last year. There is more reason for confidence this year than last. Targets for next season: - Promotion challenge. - Improve finances. Probably won't happen though.

Sazchu Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 well done getting 6th JSalter, seems like you could challenge for promotion within the next three years. -edit- "Kwok Keung vs Happy Valley match picked as fan day." nothing wrong with that...

Spleen! Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Season Update 2012 - Selangor Maljis Perbandaran Subang Jaya Premier League: 5th (Predicted 7th) Table FA Cup: 2nd round Malaysia Cup: 5th in Group C Another top-half finish, but again a season where we were never able to get close to winning promotion. We started by not losing in 5, and were sitting joint 2nd before a run of 4 straight defeats ended any promotion hopes. This run coincided with the absence of our top scorer, who managed 18 in 16 when he played. The balance is now -£450k, despite cash injections of 160k over the season. No first team players have been lost once again, and a new DC and ST have been signed on frees, to hopefully bolster our promotion challenge next year. I've just got a new 2 year contract (seems to be the most I'm allowed), by the end of which the board want us established in the Premier League. What do they think I've been doing for the past few years? Targets for next season: - A real promotion challenge.

Sazchu Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 JSalter, getting ever closer to promotion and it seems like you should be able to fight your way upwards. I think money is a big problem in Malaysia, when i was at Johor for those 3-4 seasons the team lost money left and right, one season we lost over 150k even though the board injected 260k over the season, no idea how we could lose that much money.(i might be mixing it with another team but i'm pretty sure it was at Johor) -edit- on another topic, i'll probably throw up an update or two within the next 4 hours.

Spleen! Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Is it the high wages or low revenue that's getting you deeper into the red JSalter? A combination of the 2 really. My wages aren't overly high, as low as they can be really, as I have a fairly small squad. The revenue is absolutely terrible. Maybe 2-3k from season tickets a year, about 1-2k for each home game.

Hopefully i can control offers up to 8 millions soon, the club is valued at 40,5m(60th in the world) and we have a bank balance of 25,5 millions. But like i said, hope he goes to Atlético Mineiro, bit worried he might go to Hannover though. -edit2- as expected the bastard went to Hannover which m,eans 4,9m upfront.... not happy at all that i lose this player(he's 22) for such poor money, the board shouldve rejected the offer from Hannover and Atlético Paranaense to secure good money... -edit3- Law Ka Keung has joined parma on a 5.5m deal, we get 2.8m due to 50% sell-on clause. -edit4- In my first ACL game this season my team is.. 7 players + a bunch of gray.... every player that is eligible in the ACL other than these 7(5 of which are not international players) are on international duty while we play Seongnam, i forsee a huge loss in this game. -edit5- only lost 3:2 with goals from Rodrigo and Chow Kwok Ho(which beat the oldest player record again) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleen! Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Season Update 2013 - Selangor Maljis Perbandaran Subang Jaya Premier League: 6th (Predicted 7th) Table FA Cup: Quarter Final Malaysia Cup: 5th in Group B After another good start, and with wins over promtion rivals, it looked as though we might at last mount a serious challenge. However, the good form slipped away, as we sat down in 10th at the half way stage. Eventually things got better, and we only finished a few points off promotion in 6th; had we played as well as at the start and the end all season we would have gone up easily. Once again the slip of form occured when our top scorer, Mohd Fauzi, was injured, and he and our other key player (AMC - Ocampos) both got injured in the same match and were out for 2 months each. Good run in the FA Cup, the only team from my league to reach the QF. Also had our best performance in the Malaysia Cup, managing 4 wins from 10 games. Because of £180k of injections, our finances actually improved slightly, to -£425k. We also have a new sponsor, worth 30k a year instead of 12k. As per usual, no major players are leaving, the squad is very loyal. There a few incoming players to try and strengthen the squad, hopefully they'll turn out to be useful. Targets for next season: - A real promotion challenge. Please - Keep Ocampos and Mohd Fauzi fit. Season Division Prediction Finish 2009 Premier League 12th 9th 2010 Premier League 12th 4th 2011 Premier League 9th 6th 2012 Premier League 7th 5th 2013 Premier League 7th 6th Edit: Just been given a new 2 year deal with a year left on the last one, nice of them to keep me on despite the state of the finances Edit 2: Got 5 new signings, a DC and AMC who would be leading stars for Super League teams, a ML to provide cover for my current one, and 2 decent 17 year olds who will hopefully be good, or at least earn us some money in a few years.

Great season there JSalter and like Razer said you might be able to push for promotion next season with these signings. Yeah, i'm doing really well financially, the international games were on official game days so i didnt have the option of pulling them out unfortunetly, still in that game against Songnam(or somewhat) only losing 3-2 is a great thing, we got a draw against them in the last game of the season to secure 3rd place in our group as usual. We are now the 36th richest club in the world valued at 52 million pounds, in comparison AC Milan is 41st. We still only have National reputation, I wonder how long we will be forced with it, think it wont go up until we win an ACL or three, atleast i don't see it going up anytime soon. I'm proud to say that for the start of this season (54/55) we have only 3 foreigners in our whole squad(some ofcourse were foreigners but are now Hong Kong citizens) with 11 players of 19 in the main squad coming from my youth system, 5 players there are over the age of 30 and will probably be retiring soon which is giving my younger players a chance. One example of players that have come through the youth and look to have a good career ahead of them is former(two years ago) Asian Player and Asian Young Player of the Year David Moore, current league stats are, 37 games, 44 goals and 10 assist, being only 20 he looks to have a good career ahead of him.

Sazchu Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think that an all-Kwok Keung-Youth-Team isnt a good thing right now, so i'm gonna bring in foreigners(read brazilians) we are about to lose our first game for quite some time in the league(run of 75 games without a loss bye bye) , oh two of three goals we've conceded so far are OWN GOALS... -edit- Thiago blew a penalty on 90th minute, why can't this team ever score from a penalty (final result 3-2 for DONGGUAN) -edit2- ignore what i first said, i'm going Kwok Keung YOUTH PRODUCTS TEAM, time to go extreme attacking style like i did a few seasons back(when i first got 3rd place) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 The only foreigners I have are 2 from Guam, and another from Macau. And of course, the Serbian/Chinese footballer. And Rizhiquan advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup again. We sit in 4th after 14 games, 6 points behind 1st place Beijing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youth system is pretty horrible atm to try and make a Rizhiquan youth products team...

(but it has been upgraded to average so there is hope. ) yeah i seem to get 2-3 decent players through my youth per season, this season youth products are horrible though, there is one player that could break into my main team in the future if he improves alot. think this season might be our worst for a long time, allready two losses in the league and we seem to do poorly against most teams, might even finish outside continental competition(if i do i'm sure i'll get sacked) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corinthiano Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey everyone, just wondering if people are still going to be playing this challenge even after the 09 version is out, as I am not getting the new FM until Christmas and would like to have this challenge as a last game before that. Thinking maybe South Korea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking maybe South Korea? I'll be playing this challenge on FM08 until i manage to finish it with a team from Hong Kong, if i wont finish it before FM10 comes out then i'll stop and start it again on FM10, not in Hong Kong though :þ -edit- I think we might get our best ACL run in our history this season, we hammered Sydney FC 4-0 to be top of the group after two games, still enough left to finish bottom though, next big challenge is Urawa Reds, if we win them I believe that we might actually get up from the group. -edit2- we are up from the group, just pummeled Sydney FC in Australia 7-3 with David Moore scoring 4, he's starting to really attract interest from medium size european clubs. -edit3- ACL Quarter Final sees us play Gamba Osaka.... they have won it the last 6 seasons and are strong favourites to win it again.

A Career which has seen him play at the highest level in Asia and at top level in Europe, a favourite with fan's in two continents. Quite an Active career starting out at Kwok Keung at the age of 16 after arriving from South China, his arrival at Kwok Keung made him almost instantly a star and he was a major factor in Kwok Keung's rise to the top of Hong Kong, he spent 11 seasons at Kwok Keung before making the big move to English football where he joined West Ham for a price of 425,000 British pounds. He spent 7 seasons at Upton Park before returning home to Hong Kong at the age of 33 where he played regular football for Kwok Keung both in domestic competition and continental competition Being the oldest player to play for Kwok Keung at age 39 aswell as being the oldest player to play in the Asian Champions League. At an event at **** Kok Stadium on the 5th of August 2055 Chow Kwok Ho announced that he was retiring from professional football, a sad and joyus occasion both at the same time and Kwok Keung thanks Chow Kwok Ho for all he has done for the club throughout his career.
