TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 A trio of 3-0 wins continue our outstanding form this month. It had gone unnoticed by me until now but we are still unbeaten in the league this season. It's a 10 point lead with the half way stage gone. I am surprised by how well we are doing and what a miserable challenge the rest of the league are having against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Again we have to release one of our best players in Cameron Hudson. He was considering a move to Kashima Antlers, but this wage cap stuff is the biggest pain in the arse, and since he hadn't made a decision by the time we had to register, he gets released instead scuppering a £1.3m deal as well.

TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 February was a bad month for us as our lack of quality begins to catch up with us, the only thing to shout about is a win the Champions League to start the tournament in a winning way. The gap could go as low as 6 points when Melbourne play their game in hand in the Melbourne derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 A disastrous month, the squad is crap and threadbare with an average age of about 18. This was always going to happen. We lose both games in the Champions League so are in real danger of not getting out of the group. We have blewn a huge lead and now we are level points with Melbourne City, 3 games to go I really would not put money on us at this stage. Doubt we will get through the group here either.

TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Air Miles Time We won 20 games this season The equation is as follows:- 3 x 4.78 x 2 x 1 = 28.67 air miles per win = 573.35 air miles won during the season = Added to 5,596.04 we already had means we have 6,169.39 air miles So our map looks like this. And we can indeed now load Argentina and Chile. Which I will be doing. I am going to get rid of China, South Korea and Japan and wait for a job in Argentina and Chile that is within range. We might have to skip a season while I take a sabbatical. A closer look at what we have to work with in Argentina and Chile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well we have made a bit of a boo boo here, there are literally no clubs in this region of Chile and Argentina, so we may have to think about this a different way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koetzer Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I remember there is a club in Ushuaia but it's way too low to become playable. The southernmost available clubs at start are Guillermo Brown (based in Puerto Madryn) and Puerto Montt, about 400-500 miles from your current range. Or there is another way, Vladivostok and Khabarovsk in Russia are available right now, technically it's part of European football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 We are the new manager of Kashiwa Reysol. It is now August 2043, and there are 8 games left in the season. The voyage will coast 4,842.53 of our air miles. Japan are 24th in the world so a modifier of 556% for the remainder of the season. Our new range at our new club of 1,327.79 after we moved. Here is the squad, we are lacking an assistant so don't really know how good the players are yet. Our remaining schedule The league table as we take over the club.

TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well I would say that is quite the start as we score 13 in month and concede none, still trying to work out my best team, but at the moment it's not costing us. Four teams qualify for the Champions League and we have put ourselves in a good position to snaffle one of the spots, but we need to keep up our form here.

TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Our defense is made of steel as the opposition still haven't scored against us under my management. A shame we took over so late in the season as with this form we may have been able to do some special things this season. The goal of Champions League football appears to be pretty much secured at this stage. A strong finish to the season will ensure it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerminalPortugal Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well we have won every game since we came in, including a final day win against Kashima Antlers who sit second, so you could say we are the form team in the division. The league is over but the Tennohai resume in a few months. We qualify for the Champions League which really was the only realistic goal, when we came in. In the end we almost usurped Kashima to come second. There is a pretty big gap between us and Urawa, something we hope to address next season.

By the way we are pretty stinking rich and we are not in Australia with it's completely mental stupid rules so we should be okay and I don't mind depth in the team.

TerminalPortugal Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Well it's been a very indifferent start to the league. Kashima was always going to be a hard game and we lost 3-1, but we bounced back in China with an away with against Guangzhou Evergrande. The draw against Gamba is the one that annoys me more, yes they are also a good side but we need to win our home games. The league does not look great for us at this early stage. We have 1 point and are 13th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
