rlipscombe Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i'm not going to say too much now, but some surprising news is going to come out of Caerleon in the morning... rumours are abound in the little welsh town that the manager might be looking for a sabbatical from the club in favour of new pastures.....

Boskovic Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Westo who is my best midfielder has been moaning about leaving for years. He has 'Very Ambitious' as his personality. Thing no club outside finland has ever been interested in him so i dont know where he gets the idea that he is good enough to play in a bigger league. A Quick Update 3 games to go and we have just taken the top spot for the first time this season after TPS lost 1:0 to MyPa-47. We play TPS in our next game and its looking like the title decider as neither of us have slipped up for a while. well...other than TPS's last game. Anyway if we can beat TPS i cant see us losing the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well after not updating you for a while I thought I'd introduce my 3 latest signings. I've decided to push the boat out this season and really bring in some quality. After making sure that I had a good Croatian base at the club, I brought in these 3 foreigners: Sahin Murat - Our new pacy forward to partner Sinisa Lucic. Vegard Sivertsen - A very solid Norweigan (urgh) centre back . And...A new signing breezes into Slavonija... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

endtime Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The skin's Dynamic - to be found at http://community.sortitoutsi.net/index.php?showtopic=25642 About Szabo, I slapped a 10 million asking price on him to stem the constant flow of offers and enquiries. He finally got fed up, asked for a move and wouldn't renew his contract, so I decided to offer him around for a silly price. The move was yet another proof for how screwy the transfer system in FM is; I first offered him around for 10 million upfront, and all I got were uniform bids of 1.4 million upfront + a 20% sell-on clause. Next, I offered him for 10 million in 24 installments and I got bids of 7.25 million upfront + 30% sell-on + friendly from the same clubs. His stats were good but didn't justify such a high transfer fee; he probably has a very high PA, so the AI is willing to spend so much on a 22-year-old kid.

rlipscombe Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Chmel Blsany - Czech Second League - 2008/09 Season Well, as i eluded to last night, i have decided to put my Caerleon game on hold, in order to start a new challenge in the Czech Republic. i had a long think about it over the weekend while i was away, and i have decided to make the move. basically, my reasoning for this is that whilst i am enjoying the game, i feel i have next to no chance of ultimately achieving my goals of winning in europe. this is based on two reasons - the lack of money in welsh football, my predicted inability to compete on a european level. i realise that this is the same for you managing in N. Ireland for example, and that you are beginning to get there, but it has taken MANY seasons to get there. all of the discussion about reputations etc would tend to confirm that it will be an awesome achievement to make it (and i wish you all luck ) i have therefore decided to start afresh in a 'larger' european league, one which is a little more established (i did consider croatia or serbia... ) but i decided to go somewhere different. and so i chose the Czech Republic. my team for the challenge is Chmel Blsany , a team from the tiny village of Blsany. according to wikipedia, the village only has a population of about 800 people. (not going to draw a big crowd then... ) this was a reson forchoosing them to be honest - i want to get the whole town behind the club!! Profile squad finances from the finances screen it is plain to see that there is some more money involved in this league. adjusting the budget, i have £600K to spend in the transfer market . however, i won't spend that as it will put me in the red somewhat.... easier said than done though as i have just splashed £130K on a new striker!! i will post more obviously in due course. Gundo - for your records, could you include BOTH my games in the records. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 rlipscombe best of luck in Eastern Europe - you know it's the place to be . endtime I'm guessing you're probably right and it is something to do with his PA. The transfer system is definitely slightly flawed in this respect. Slavonija - Qualified for the Champions League group stage after defeating Kayserispor 2-0 on aggregate. Our group is: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">Arsenal Slavonija Villarreal Monaco</pre> We were seeded 2nd and to be honest it could have been better but hopefully we can get through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie15 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 rlipscombe - Best of luck at Chmel Blasny. Any ideas how you pronounce the name? To be honest i've had similar thoughts as i've now managed Skjetten for two successive challenges. I'm tempted to start up again somewhere new......decsisions, decisions In fact i'll leave the choice up to you guys! I'll be home by 6:00 and will be at the computer. So, between now and 6pm tell me whether i should stick with Skjetten or start afresh! Cheers guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachFlu Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Meldert, Belgium - December 19th 2025 Mid-season table. Everything under control so far, though it doesn't look like our run to the title will be as easy as it was last season (when we had a 27 point gap over second place at the end). Our defense certainly isn't bad, but it's not quite as secure as it was last year, which has put us in trouble in a few matches. Offensively we're very strong though. But with Club Brugge and Anderlecht seemingly back to their normal status of title contenders, there may not be a lot of room for slip-ups. Maintaining our good form will be crucial. UEFA Cup news, then: I already reported on the first two UEFA Cup group matches: Meldert - AS Monaco: 5-1 Stuttgart - Meldert: 0-0 The remaining two: Meldert - Man City: 3-0 A surprisingly easy match. We took control of the match, and played very well from start to finish. It took us a while to break the deadlock, but once we did, we quickly added a second and sealed the three points. Kayserispor - Meldert: 1-4 Another great result, based on efficient finishing. The red card right after half time didn't turn out to have a huge effect on the match - we even finished it off with a late goal. The red-carded DC will be suspended for the next round though, which is a slight concern. UEFA Cup Group H I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't survived this group, but 10pts is better than I hoped for. Teams of this level are well within our capabilities now, it seems. We've been drawn against Sparta Prague in the First Knockout Round. Based on our performance in the group, we should be able to survive that round.
