Le Havre Season 3 Review

Le Promotion 

image.thumb.png.0e68e6e43fa263f90e275ccaaa18c432.png

I blagged my way to the Play Off final with 2 Penalty shootout victories in the quarters and semis. 

I was happy to see the Play Off Final was a 2 leg final. 

We got a 1-1 draw in the away leg and then a nice little 1-0 win in the home leg.

Karim Konate continues to get better with him getting 18 goals for the season. I had a lot of teams interested in Konate and in January I had the board accept offers for him and even though I said I want to prioritize the finances of the club I also knew selling Konate so soon I would regret it as I know I can get a lot more for him with a good season or 2 in Ligue 1 so I protested the transfer and the board agreed.

The other stand out player was Silas Nwankwo who is probably very close to overtaking Konate as the main man at the club. He got 12 goals for the season and was more consistent then Konate.

I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with Konate and Nwankwo in Ligue 1.

@Ronaldo Beckham congrats on your promotion. I really like the look of Nwankwo, that pace and acceleration is always something I look for in a winger.

 

I started my save as Nice the other day, I will post in here from time to time but I will be mainly documenting my save here if anyone is interested:

 

Cheers buddy. Good luck with Nice. 

Have a look at Chuki who plays for Real Vallodolid. He is a Spanish wonderkid.

I think FCSM are going to be my French save. Despite a good run in the 2000s, which included a French Cup win, they've been in the second division for nearly a decade. Like in previous editions, they have an astonishing conveyor belt of young talent to work with. Expectations are moderate in the first season. They're only planning for mid table. I would like to keep them there and start to bring the talented young players through in that first season, whilst starting to move on the older guys who're easily replaceable. This is a save that would hopefully take 2-3 years before you look seriously at promotion.

Excellent choice! :D

Possibly the first time in FM history, but they'll probably get their act together. How are you doing with ASSE? Such a miserable period in their history these days.

Hope it does happen!

Currently sitting top by a point,

What made Le Havre so good? They're on my list for this FM.

They had some good talents that stayed with me for 10-13 years. I got so many class players through youth intake and had to sell about €25M a year to keep the books out of the red. Also took me 10 years to win Ligue 1 which was nice. Was very hard to overthrow PSG

After not played FM for few days, decided to fire up my save, and faced PSG in Trophée des Champions. Their new manager is Vladimir Petković.

Get in :cool: Not won Trophée des Champions, with Saint Etienne on this save since I started.

Hopefully Khvicha, can get into top form, this season after settling in last season.

PSG still continues to spend stupid amount of players, getting ridiculous! 

Season 22-23

Not quite sure if they really need to sign all those players like Chiesa, Olmo, Kimmich, Pessina. Hlozek and Szoboszlai :rolleyes:

BOOM :D Champions with 2 games left. PSG was constantly right behind us and I was 4 points clear ahead of them leading up to this game,

Many thanks to them losing this game, before us playing Lile :D

Say hello to my new HOYD :cool:  Signed him in February, spent all summer recruiting new staff to boost the backroom staffs across the club.

Also signed this guy :eek:

Also tried to get this guy last few seasons to be director of football but wouldn't enter talks with us :( :seagull:

There's something a little dull about the Premier League for me this year, and I've over used Germany. So I find myself taking over Bordeaux. First window transfers stopped. Struggling to choose between a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3.

No European football, but a very interesting squad. Junior Onana, Sekou Mara, Timothee Pembele, and Samuel Kalu are interesting. Desperate to get hold of Etienne Green from Saint-Etienne.

 

Otherwise, I'm very excited about starting in France and i've vibed out all your posts.

PSG sacked Puel, last season. so they bought this guy in :D

Also won the league last season, PSG struggled but still managed to finish 2nd, thanks to Monaco slipping up few games ffs.

My Argentine  scout - Luis Ferrer, found this hidden gem, signed him in January, as Silva's replacement.

d9abbf0e1d5078065cc79f39cbbf627e.png 
What a signing, I am re-training him as False nine role and did a cracking job, playing there after departure of Silva, last season with 16 goals in 25 games :cool: 

 

Have also lost Fabio Silva to Inter for 170M :(  Scored 104 goals in 109 games!

Future is definitely bright at the club, decided to field 11 players that came through the academy over the years, last game of the season, against Toulouse :cool: The oldest was Aubert who is 21. Ramos was the youngest at 17!

He's the reason why I am selling Boubacar Karama to Real Madrid for 85M. Going to try and him into a decent defender :cool: 


 

Also won my fourth title in the row,

Unbeaten but still feel it wasn't a successful season. PSG knocked me out 2-1 in quarter final  of Coupe de France. Chelsea hammered me 6-4 on agg in Champions League knockout stages. 6-3 loss away and 1-0 win at home.

Took inspiration from Omega Lukes latest rebuild video on Youtube and started with St Etienne. Ive never managed anyone but Lyon in France so lets see how this goes. Got off to a decent start and currently sat in 5th after 6 games. Started off with 4 straight draws before winning the last 2 (3-1 away at Montpellier and 2-0 at home to Bordeaux)

Great stuff with all the titles @john1

Just caught up with this thread

Yeah, just motoring through to Season 29/30 season, won the league last season, especially PSG slipped up few times! They sacked Andriy Shevchenko and bought in Arteta :D
