Makoto Nakamura Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 2023 End of Season Review We won our final game after coming back from 2-0 down and I've decided that this will be my final game in charge of High Quality since we won't have any continental football next season, the new board don't want to go semi-pro either so I've left with a parting gift of getting the club to improve the youth and training facilities. I'll stay in charge until December 31st which is when the majority of real contracts run out and then I'll apply for every available job and go to the one that's offering me the most money. Overall Best XI 2023 Best XI Dechen Chuki (YP6d) Pema Tshomo - Ugyen Tshering (YP6c) - Tseten Tshewang (YP5c) - Kinley Dhargyal (YP6b) Ngawang Drakpa (YP2b) - Kinzang Gyaltshen (YP6a) - Jamyang Dhene - Sonam Dhendup (YP5d) - Ugyen Yangdel (YP6f) Nidup Lhamo (YP5g) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timetxu Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 You've worked your butt off for seven seasons, so I can only agree with your decision. In any normal country you would've received a ton of jobs so far, so let's see where you end up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonam Wangchuk is a former Bhutan U19's manager and current Paro Utd manager, Dinesh Dorji is the former Samtse & Druk Stars manager, currently managing Thimphu FC, Kinley Dorji spent 6 years managing Ugyen Academy and is now my successor at High Quality and Ashok has been Druk United manager since 2015.

Strange to think they then dislike you, considering you're domination over the league will be over. Anyway, onto bigger and better things hopefully.

Makoto Nakamura Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Kataller Toyama (カターレ富山 Katāre Toyama) is a football club in Japan that was formed from the merger of the old ALO's Hokuriku and YKK AP F.C.clubs. They currently play in J3 League. The idea of a merged team had been discussed by the Toyama Prefectural Football Association as early as 2005, but discussions had come to nothing. On September 10, 2007, YKK (owner of YKK AP F.C.) and Hokuriku Electric Power Company (owner of ALO's Hokuriku), agreed with merging their teams to aim promotion to the J. League in response of eager request by the TPFA. According to Tulip TV, local broadcasting company, over 20 companies informally promised to invest in the new team. In the media briefing, the governor of Toyama Prefecture also participated. TPFA has founded an organization named "Civic Football Club Team of Toyama Prefecture (富山県民サッカークラブチーム)" with two major economic organization and representatives of Hokuriku Electric Power Company and YKK. The Japan Football League confirmed that the merged club would compete in the JFL from the 2008 season. They applied for J. League Associate Membership in January 2008, then their application was accepted at the Board meeting of J. League on February 19, 2008. On November 23 they secured qualification for promotion to J2, and on December 1 promotion was made official by J. League. We're in Japan! Kataller have just been promoted to the 2nd tier and it's my job to keep them there, There are some flaws in Japan, mainly that there is no club overview screen and I can't see the clubs history or previous managers/ best xi's and things like that. I'm still very excited though because this is a massive wage and the next best offering was £725 p/w from an Iranian 2nd tier side!

Makoto Nakamura Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 2024 Pre-Season Not great. Predicted 2nd from bottom and the aim is to avoid relegation. 2,280 season tickets!

Makoto Nakamura Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 March 2024 Well it looks like we have one player that wants to play for the team.
