Makoto Nakamura Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 February 2018 2 very nice and very easy wins and we're still a point clear of Racing, we're also 10 points inside the promotion playoff spot so it's looking very likely that we'll be going up at the end of the season.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 March 2018 We had a minor slip-up against Mamer but Racing have also dropped points so we extend our lead to 3 points with just 5 games to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 April 2018 2 good wins in the league including a massive win over 3rd place Una Strassen, the title should be secure as we have just 2 games left...against the teams in 13th and 14th.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 End of Season 2017/18 Just what I was looking for, 2 more big wins and we're going up as champions! And for my efforts I find myself in the Luxembourg hall of fame with 1 point. Key Players: As long as no good job offers come my way then I'll be here next season as well.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 September 2018 Well I thought we'd gotten a little bit of form by beating Racing and getting a points against Hamm Benfica but Fola Esch absolutely destroyed us so we're in the relegation playoff spot at this early part of the season, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 October 2018 2 wins!

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 November 2018 A nice win in the cup and an easy win over bottom side Wiltz, we did very well losing just 1-0 to league leaders Dudelange and they're already 7 points clear at the halfway point.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 December 2018 A tough month in the league with just one point picked up sees us dragged back down into a relegation battle, we did scrape through another round of the cup though.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 End of Season 2018/19 A late season *flourish* of goals scored very much helped us stay in the division but with my contract expiring at the end of June I've decided not to renew it and I shall be moving on to pastures new.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 We've gone from the top league of a small country to the bottom league of a big country, if things go well here then potentially this could kick off some bigger clubs looking for me to manage them instead of me wandering around Europe managing very small clubs over and over again. What I do find odd though is that I was overlooked for jobs in the 3rd tier of Northern Ireland and the 2nd tier of Wales. Key Players: We've got a decent core of players but lots of improvement is needed, especially since the majority of players are getting on a bit.

Makoto Nakamura Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 2019/20 Pre-Season I'm very happy with how pre-season went, all we need to do now is work on staying above the relegation zone for the entire season. A lot of players in but here are the best of them: Turkey was actually home to one of my favourite saves when I think I did the Big Euro Challenge back in FM12? Hopefully this will give me a chance to create more good memories in Turkey. EDIT: It was FM13, not FM12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 September 2019 Some very close games in the league but we're hovering just 1 point above the relegation zone. We upset Keciorengucu in the cup who play in the division above us and our reward for that is a home tie against Trabzonspor in the 3rd Round!
