Funbags Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Leigh Genesis - Blue Square North Blue Square North Prediction - Relegation Blue Square North Position - 2 - Table Graph FA Cup - Lost in 2nd qualifying round Setanta Shield - Lost in north 1st round Fa Trophy - Lost in 1st round Summary My first objective was to get a parent club and straight away Man united offered so after some dealing in the market we started our season. We started of really well getting wins and taking over top after about 7 games and we held this mainly until Christmas. Then cam rumours of a takeover and it finally happened after Christmas. Then after this the team started getting draws and we lost a 6 point lead over second who then overtook me and after this really only had one chance to catch them which was when we played them at home and we were winning 3-2 but they scored in last minute then we just stayed 6 points behind them for the rest of the season. But we knew we were to far ahead of the rest to be worried about slipping out of the playoffs. Then the playoff semis cam and i won 3-2 on aggregate against a team who had never beaten us all season. And in the final another team who hadn't beat us all season and it was 1-1 after 90 mins and extra time and in pens we won Players: Squad Davide Petrucci - All I can say is absolutely brilliant without him we wouldn't of even got where we did. And thanks to Man U we have him on loan for another season Finances Transfers Goals for the upcoming season: To try and establish ourself in the Blue Square Premiership and maybe win a trophy 2009/10 Leigh Genesis 2nd BSN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalInCardiff Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Arsenal withdrew the bid, so Luca stays! On another note, I signed a squad player, belgian cm.

I spotted a player at Chelsea who looked world class, made an offer around £35m and a good young striker and my player turned down their wage offer! I tried bidding after that and they were asking for £80m!!! Luckily i've had a young winger who I got on a free who seems to perform well despite having no good stats outside of being a winger. But now i'm looking to replace him with a Brazilian wonderkid who is ideally an AMC, but is good enough to play out wide. was going to say, because he has only had 14 callups at age 24.

And after a horrific start to the season, it was the same old thing. Another 5th place appearance, another lost in the playoff Semis. Still, the season was not a total lost. We were able to win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. That adds to cabinet as we had won the FA Trophy a few years back. Here's hoping next year we finally get the promotion that the team deserves.

Pedriana Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Marine - 2009/10 Blue Square North midseason mini-update The save may be new, but the New Year's Day report lives on... My first season here at Marine seems to be going better than my first season with Bradford PA. In that game, the first season had me sitting in the relegation zone for most of the season and just barely staying up on the last day. Here, I haven't seen the relegation zone yet and we've been sitting comfortably in mid-table the whole way through. At the moment, with 20 of 38 games played, Marine (7-6-7) sit in 15th with 27 points, but the middle of the table is freakishly close and we're just four points away from the playoff positions. Finances: We're actually making a profit just about every month. Marine have the second-highest average attendance in the league (955, second to AFC Telford's 1665), and the gate receipts are flowing in. Feels so unusual to see my bank balance in black instead of red. Players: I've changed my signing philosophy a bit this time. I learned the hard way that there needs to be a clear distinction between your starters and your backups in terms of talent, or else you get the squad harmony problems that plagued the last couple years of my BPA game. So I really didn't go much beyond getting a nice solid starting XI, filling out the rest of the squad with players already in the Marine system. It's worked fine so far; squad harmony is about average with my backup goalkeeper really being the only one complaining (and missing practices) on a regular basis. Cups: Nothing of note. Met board expectations for all three cups, and actually did one round better in the FA Cup, losing in the 4th Qual Round replay to Wrexham. Goals for the rest of the season: Finish in the top half Ensure the squad remains happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalInCardiff Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Is there any benefit of having youth coaches? I have my training set up so that my coaches all take one aspect, so that the training is 7 stars (obviously). Their workload is light. I have my Ass Man help with every skill, he's not great at training I hired him for his other help. I then have a youth coach with working with youngsters 20 to help all the youth training, as often in old FMs I found the youth coach would become favoured personnel with good youth players, helping keep them happy at the club. Is there any point in having a full team of youth coaches and all the added wages? P.S I know technically this should be in the training thread but my chance of getting a concise response is much higher in here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took about 2 weeks to get two scouts (not bad stats either) so at least I can get some judgement on potential players. Scott Hiley came in as my assistant, it seems the quality of our defence is poor and midfield can be improved. I wanted a target man so it appears I need to sign a few. Hiley was important in the recruitment stage suggesting some good experienced players like Bevan, Jeannin Hart & Edwards. After Edwards I ran out of wage budget to play with really so will have to move players out to bring in. Hileys believes we need another striker so will see how the goals go. I brought in Liam Hughes in December due to us struggling to get goals. Andy Todd (former Championship player) came in to help with defensive injuries at the end of January. Deighted The first 10 games saw us pick up 14 points. A satisfying return especially as it took us 6 games to win our first game. We are fairly solid conceding 10 goals and have managed to score 14 goals, however we did fail to score in 3 of the games on the trot. More of the same for us in the next 10 managing 13 points. Goals are hard to come by only getting 12 but we are quite solid conceding 11. We seem to lack a bit of creativity and have to admit that target man Taylor hasn’t really worked only scoring 2 in 16 games. If we can continue as we are we should finish nicely in mid table. Our best yet getting 16 points from 10 games. Goals are still hard to come by with 12 from this period we did however only concede 8. If we have a bit of luck we could sneak a playoff spot. These 10 games saw any faint hopes of the playoffs fade. We managed 15 points but that wasn’t enough to keep in touch. We had a decent return of 15 goals but was a bit disappointed to concede 14 goals as we have been solid all season. In the last 2 games we will look to try to finish in the top half. The last two were horrible been smashed 6-0 by Redditch and beaten 4-2 by Hinckley. This all meant we ended the season in 10th with 16-10-16 scoring 55 conceding 53. A pleasing season setting ourselves up to march on next season. Our first team is good but we don’t seem to have much in reserve so the plan is to retain the players that have done well this season and let others go and then to sign new players to give ourselves a squad of 20-23 depending on wage budgets. Not a lot happened in the cups and our training facilities were upgraded to adequate. Financially we have about £20k but the chairman put in £75k and we made a loss of £13K so the club appears to be losing around £88k per year. Wages are currently around £5k so I reckon if I limit myself to around the £3.2k mark we should make a small profit. I believe from the players I plan to let go we will save £2.7k per week so have around £900 to spend on wages for about 7 players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summary The season started out with me leaving Wealdstone as i was getting bored. I saw that the Club Osset Town was promoted, and they had never been in the BSN before, i couldnt resist, and i took over. I started at osset 6 games in but only 5 points from nr 1. I brought in a whole new squad, and as always they needed time to blend. The start was tuff and i remember i was 11 points behind nr 1. our big problem was away from home, we had a really tough time to win any game away. The last 10 games where really close between the top 3! we managed to beat the teams ahead of us and won with a little luck. But my team was by far the best in the divison if you only looked at the players abilitys. Im really happy i choosed to start over, im really into this! On an other note Wealdstone won the League and lost CHL final on penalty, so guess they dont miss me too much When i look at the team it seems like they havent changed a thing since i left.. Players: Keys Squad West Way too good for this league Murray Assist king! Wignall Top Goalscorer Manager Overview Transfers Goals for the upcoming season: Dont know what to expect from the lads.. i think we have a good squad, and with a couple of nice signings we should be able to push for promotion, but well see..
