1st European Final. Season 10. Brondby IF.

It might only be the Euro Conference Cup Final, but it's our 1st European Final.

We scored twice at the end of the 1st half and then Eriksen scored his 2nd and 3rd goals in the dying moments after we had been reduced to 10 men through injury.

I should point out that I'm playing with a small database in this save, (I often do), and while there are disadvantages in that your players are more in demand in a small database, the flip side of that is that the standard of the lesser teams in other European countries is diminished as a result. 

The idea behind a save like this is more the domestic challenge, (my saves often are), but it's times like this that I regret not playing with a bigger database. I think it cheapens things a little.

Anyway, we won! :lock:

Cup Final

It just had to be didn't it. If I lose this theres a good chance the Interim Manager becomes the Full Time Manager and then surely I will have to wait another season at the very least. 

It would be a great addition to the old CV.

We just played them away in the league and won 2-1, scoring in the 94th minute to win it. I would take that here 100%! The winner will play in the Euro Cup II next season. 

Could be a win-win for me if indeed I can get that Brondby job in the Summer.

5901cf1836819cb8f393247b106f1bb7.png

We had quite an easy run to the Final I'm not going to lie. You can only beat what's put in front of you though.

59a410fdc021a63181e52efbd90b3e27.png

Brondby had to beat 2 decent teams.

This should be a good, tight contest.

I purposely rotated players but we have a few injuries so its not our strongest XI going into the Final.

9cb13fd5fed5164a111843f46a4b05c4.png

We can do this. 

a0e76553909de9fd7a311b1ecebbbfe9.png

What a start and its Brondby who take the lead. We were caught napping from a cross and the header found the net. Horrible, horrible start.

10 minutes gone and it should be 2-0 really. Simple ball over the top but the striker hits it over. Let off really. Its been a great start by Brondby.

14 minutes gone and Esbjerg are hanging on for dear life. A block from the defender and a fine save keeps this 1-0. It looks like its a matter of time here.

24 minutes gone and the first attempts hit the target for Esbjerg. Their top goalscorer finds a ball has bounced straight to him but a weak shot finds the keeper. 

39 minutes gone and a free kick is floated in and headed just over the bar. Brondby still the better team and more likely right now to do anything.

Just on the stroke of half time and the biggest chance of the game for Esbjerg goes begging. A clearance falls to the person you'd want it to and he fluffs his lines. Once again his shot is weakly straight at the keeper. That would have changed the game, a goal just before half.

0d2c72d7aa3ffeeb80a2a2c1d159ee4a.png

No complaints at the half and its a big team talk coming up for good old Smoochison.

50 minutes and first chance of the half goes to the trailing side and once again a weak shot goes straight to the keeper. The Brondby keeper hasn't had to do anything really so far today.

The first sub has been made as Esbjerg make movements upfront.

59 minutes gone and we should be level. A beautiful free kick is floated in and finds a body free at the back post but his volley his the side netting.

64 minutes gone and the tide has turned a little now and its Esbjerg with all the attack. Brondby are throwing bodies in the way and so far its working. Keeper still hasn't been asked to make a huge save yet.

80 minutes gone. Corner comes in and is headed straight over the bar. Another big chance to equalise. They haven't done enough and time is very quickly running out.

88 minutes and that should have been game. He steals the ball in midfield with one only man to beat. Defender holds off allowing the shot and its saved. I really can't see Brondby losing this game from here.

89 minutes and there it is. There is the save. Esbjerg break straight from the corner and its one on one. Their top scorer 27 goals all season misses the biggest chance of the season. You feel that was it. That was the chance and its come and gone.

4 minutes added on. 4 minutes to hold on.

dcf097148ea24cb58c5a80695f8d174f.png

And that indeed was the chance as nothing happened in injury time. An absolute kick in the teeth. Even game but Brondby took their big chance and we didn't.

I think that's that for our chances of the Brondby job. If I were them I've give it the Interim. 

 

last chance saloon! send the board an email telling them their current manager is a pervert....

he's inter rimming

@Jimbokav1971 Nice win, am I right in thinking it qualifies you for the Europa League GS?

That's a really good question. I have no idea. Let me have a look at the rules. 

Yes it does. 

55b75c899f08b88689f7ad8159e7ba06.png

As it happens I'm going to finish 4th again in the league. We haven't played the last game but we can't catch any of those in front of us and those behind us can't catch us. 

I'm not sure how this impacts on the league. Do we get another place? 

When we won the league we completely prioritised league games and fielded a rotated squad in all but 1 European game. I think I will do the same thing again next season in an effort to finish higher in the league. I don't really care what happens in Europe next season but it would be good to challenge for some more domestic silverware. The other thing of course is that if we can finish 3rd in our Group then we drop down to the Euro Conference again and that might be a reasonable strategy. 

[Edit]

We still haven't won the Sydbank Pokalen, (lost 1 Final), so it would be good to have a right good go at that too.

Season Round Up 2023-24

Not going to lie I lost absolutely all interest in this season after that Cup Final loss. I just stuck all games on Only Commentary and honestly couldn't have given a crap.

8a9fcdece0ba4779983d33dd56095aa9.png3a426d1db0e02e19e4f49fa8ca33b9c2.png

We played Brondby 5 times this season and lost once. ONCE!!!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
 

So it appears I'm still a little salty after the Final loss.

4826bf4c174c3dedd06e7ff9b04a1cf2.png

So 3rd place will have to play 7th place in order to get the European Place in what is the most ridiculous rule in all of Football. Absolutely shocking. You should not be rewarded for getting 10 easy games to finish the season.

Lets put it into perspective.

34512c8eac1c21429aa155ac8eaccd51.png

In a one off game where anything could happen AGF who finished 24 points behind 3rd could steal a European Place. Ridiculous.

Notable things also happened. 

86e617b80be3ca0da32675b14ecd76ef.png

Our In-take was a joke and give us 2 Keepers. Something we do not need.

I got a new badge and straight away...

8b27c34b0d65cc9a215ed471577fc9eb.png

Started on the next one.

I'm praying absolutely hoping and praying I can get the Brondby job now.

But until then here are the numbers...

I completely get the saltyness. 

Apologies for my obvious stupidity, but why does 3rd play 7th for a European spot? :confused:

Top 2 we know about. 
Brondby in 5th and how they made you salty we know about. 
3rd place being in a Playoff we know about. 
7th? Wtf? :lol: :confused: 

Other than the fact that Nordsjælland can neither be spelt not pronounced, what's the reason for them not being involved? 

And if we take their ridiculous name as reason enough, why aren't you in the Playoff? 

Answers on a Postcard please to "Jimbo is Stupid #DanskeDanske". :lol:

I think its to give the teams who aren't going to get relegated something to aim for in the Relegation Group. Crazy if you ask me. If you are going to do it. 7th needs to play the lowest team in the Top 6 and then a battle between them and either 3rd or 4th depending.

So next season it's 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th who qualified for Europe.

All the Scandinavians seem to  speak such good English that it's not obvious who is and isn't English. Perhaps 1 of the Scandi's could let us know if this is how it works in real life. That seems absolutely barmy to me, but then again I support Barnet FC and we qualified for the Playoffs last season after finishing 12th in the Conference so people in glass houses and all that. :lol:

So the end of another season. My 3rd at Jammerbugt and yes I am still here!

Overall the season has been great, I fully expected another push for promotion and when I got to the mid-season break we looked well on our way. We sat in 2nd and all looked good, then came December 31st! Why the hell do contracts expire mid-season? Due to financial issues (yes the board still want to build a new ground!) I couldn't afford to offer any of the expiree's new deals. Because of this I lost 5 of my first team squad and with no money to replace them I had to bring in rubbish free loans and try my best to limit the damage.

At the end of the regular season it was still going well. We sat 3rd on a point behind 2nd as we entered the Championship phase.

With the squad really thin and games coming thick and fast we decided to fall apart. We stopped scoring, we started leaking goals, the two teams above were so much better we couldn't keep up and for the second season running we ended 3rd. Gutting really but the damage was done at the end of the year when we lost so many players.

Regular Season

Championship Group

a6ea5d58afb372e2a9525c56e881751e.png

Now I'm at the end of the season and my contract is up, there is no sign of a new deal on the table. The finances are in an absolute state and when all my loan players leave we have a squad of about 10 players! I think it's time for Midget to move on, leave Denmark with a view to returning when the Brondby job is available and he had experiences the delights of other countries around the world. 

These  3 seasons have been brilliant, I've loved every minute but it's had it's frustrations!! LOTS OF FRUSTRATION!!!!!

Then we have loads of other clubs represented too. It's brilliant. :thup:

Absolutely! This was a great idea.

I also had an offer from Cardiff (struggling in the Championship) and Malmo, and honestly both would have been interesting. But then I thought who knows when the Brondby job may open up again.

This is the league table as we break for the 2022 WC and I have moved from AC Horsens in 1st, to Brondby in 9th. Probably had a real shot of winning the league had I stayed at Horsens, not least because Kobenhavn seem to be having a bit of a shocker so far.

Anyway, the aim now with Brondby will be to try and sneak into Europe this season. I am now wondering whether the better strategy may be to finish in the relegation group anyway :lol:

We played Honved in the Group Stage. 

Then they played someone else in the 1st Knockout Round, (which is 2nd place Euro Conference Team against 3rd place Euro Cup team. Then the winner played me. 

I reported this as a bug before I realised that it wasn't the 1st Knockout Round. I honestly don't know if it's a bug or not but I've reported it anyway. 

The Royal League was a Cup competition played between Scandinavian clubs that was a huge hit when the @Gundochallenge was just starting off. I really regret not playing a Scandi save back then because I really feel that I have missed out.

Very possible - I reckon it'll be between them and Midgetland. The promotion group format means a lot of points can be clawed back towards the end.

Midget Nielsen has a new job!

Midget packed his bags after his meeting with the Jammerbugt chairman, he had resigned, his 3 year tenure was over just a month short of contract expiring. As he exited the training ground a lone reporter asked him "where next boss?". His reply "I want to get as far away from here as possible".

What we didn't know was Midget meant exactly that! He wanted to go FAR FAR AWAY!

Canada, China and South Africa was where he set his sights on. As far away from Denmark as he could go.

Jobs interviews came and went and Midget was overlooked every time, then 3 months down the line an offer came up.

"Surely the whole state can't be free?" Midget said

"Well no Midget, it's just the name" replied his agent.

But Midget couldn't work it out, he had to go there and see if everything was actually free.

He jumped on the next flight to South Africa. It was a long flight but Midget was excited. "I can't wait to have it all, for nothing!"

 76a85f0306e1621792d3012dc7be84a5.png.fd656db25ec26808dfb11fe45724a315.png

Midget set down and arrived at the new training ground. "So where's my free stuff?" He asked.

"IT'S JUST NAME OF THE TEAM MIDGET FFS!" Said his agent!

"Surely this bloke can't be that thick?!"

Midget had already agreed the deal, there was no turning back now.

South Africa as a country tends to produce some cracking new-gens in FM (my personal opinion is that the SA researcher has been a bit lenient). So this should be fun for you!

Well done everyone. Keep up the good work. This is a great thread and we should do more of them.

Maybe do a challenge a month or something ?

 

This is perfect to do at the start of a new issue, but once everyone gets into their own saves it's harder I think. 

What we should definitely do is another Joint Save though, because last years was brilliant, (with 1 little problem), until the save basically got too big to process. Maybe in the New Year we can do a joint save if this one is on the wane? 

I can't remember who was in charge of the Joint Save. @Deisler26possibly?

State of the Union

A quick report on where things stand as I begin what will (hopefully) be a long spell at Brøndby IF.

Finally sorted out the squad view:

squad2.thumb.jpg.58e49a786f3c18d3b1a743a7114766ea.jpg

The best players seem to be the two wingers, Hedlund and Svensson. Will need to look for a new keeper in Jan, as our #1 is leaving for Hoffenheim. I like Borkeeiet in the middle as well, and the defense looks quite strong. I think we are mostly lacking a consistent goal-scorer. I already made an enquiry for Mads Olsen from my old club, and they asked for 21.5 million :eek: I guess that kid was a high PA.

The good thing is the Home-Grown element, there's a full 11 players in the squad who have come through the youth academy. Which is pretty awesome! And definitely something I will be hoping to build on.

 The dynamics aren't looking very good. We also need to get some strong personalities.

Finances seem fine. Although most of the available balance will be going into the facility improvements promised to me. But that will pay off in the long run. Wage bill is currently over budget, so that needs sorting.

Finally, a couple of young players I plan to blood and keep an eye on.

My Kvistgaarden doesn't look quite as good as @Jimbokav1971's but he is of course a lot younger.

Burner is a Swedish winger who came through the academy, attributes wise he actually looks well suited to playing RB as well, I am thinking of perhaps re-training him.

And finally I found this 15 year old in the U19 squad, who is out on loan for some reason. He is definitely getting re-called, and we need to figure out how to get the best out of his development.

I would definitely be up for this. Just for 1 season, but it would be brilliant. :applause:

Yeah I would say max of 4-5 people or else it would take forever. Maybe put some groundrules in etc.

I would be up for it whenever someone wants to try it. I lost my job 2 weeks a go so I got plenty of free time lol.

Anyway back on subject I am really excited about this young player called Dennis Olsen

Your youngsters look awesome mate. I hope you get to keep them.

Thanks. Sorry to hear about your job.

Good one in qualifying for Europe with AB. Brondby seem to be doing well on your save so I am guessing that job may not be available for a while yet.

Cheers mate. I don't mind having a break from working life and then come back recharged and ready to go in the New Year.

Yeah the Brondby job has only become available once in the 6-7 seasons I have been playing lol.

I might do one more season with AB and just go somewhere else while I wait for Brondby to come along.

Brondby

2024-25 Pre-Season

All my pre-season activity has gone to waste as I've joined Brondby 1 week before the start of the new season. Not enough time to bring anybody in as I assess things.

The first thing I've noticed about the squad is...

2398823af196aca23183f61070043841.png738035f61a5911483bb1935bf23d968e.png

The size of it. I was on bare minimum before. Now I have a few options.

I will be running the same tactic I have been all the way through. 

Financially...

Much better than before. The red is if all offers go through. 

There is one unhappy player. I need to keep the squad happy so told him I will be selling him. 

Generally happy at the moment. Squad should be good enough to get Top 6 which is the aim. It might take a season for me to get the team as I want it so this season is all about keeping the board happy and make sure I don't get fired before I've even had a chance here.

The expectations are there. We have Moldovan opposition to start the Euro Cup. It will all come down to the luck of the draw as to how far we can go in that. 

So without further ado its time to start the season. See you in the Winter Break.

So Red Star won the first leg 3-1, I then won the 2nd leg 3-1 so it went to extra time and literally in the last minute of extra time we managed to score and and I am through to the next Qualifying round.

I now have a very tough game vs FC Basel to look forward to.

Basel! he's a very naughty boy!

I know that's crossing the streams of Python but oh well

I was just offered an interview at AGF in the top tier but I got rejected for another manager. They were languishing down in 4th in the relegation phase, so 10th overall. 

I've been keeping my eye on the available jobs but nothing within my reach has come up just yet, even in Norway or Sweden.
