[FM23] THE BEST JOURNEYMAN ON THE FORUM - The quest for glory and fame.

The Journey 

 

I've seen too many Journeyman saves begin in England which has prompted me to start my own Journey man save in the quest of becoming one of the best managers in football. 

I've also skipped to December in order to have some job openings at challenging teams.

The aim is not to complete the challenge as fast as possible but instead as realistically as possible. I'm starting as a 21 year old so I won't conquer the world anytime soon but I will make some great memories and hopefully an entertaining forum post

The First Club - Belgium 

 

 

 

 

K.V.K. Tienen-Hageland

 

Belgian association football club from the city of Tienen, Flemish Brabant. It is currently playing in the Belgian Third Division.

The club was founded in 1921 as R.C. Tirlemont (Tirlemont is the French for Tienen) and it became a member of the Belgian Football Association in 1922 with matricule number 132. It reached the second division in 1931 and it won its league in 1937 to access to the first division. However it remained only one season at the top level as the club finished 14th and last of the division.

In 1951 the club was renamed as R.R.C. Tirlemont. Between 1957 and 1967 Tirlemont spent 10 seasons at lower levels and played one more season in the second division in 1967–68 finishing last. In 1973 there was a new name change to R.R.C. Tienen.

Eight years later Matricule 132 merged with the Voorwaarts Tienen to become K.V.K. Tienen. The KVK accessed to the second division in 1999. In spite of a 17th place (on 18) in 2002 the club remained in the second division for two more seasons as K.R.C. Zuid-West-Vlaanderen was refused its license. In 2004 the 17th place at which Tienen finished the championship caused it to be relegated to the third division.

In 2006, KVK Tienen promoted back to the Belgian second division but was relegated six years later. Nicky Hayen is currently coach for team. In 2013 the club declared bankruptcy and had to be refounded. In doing so they changed their name to KVK Tienen-Hageland, nevertheless they were demoted by the Belgian FA to the fourth division where it won its group to earn promotion back to the third tier after a season away.

 

 

 

 

The Squad 

 

Oh dear this is going to be an ISSUE, there isn't enough depth in the squad to cover for injuries or for rotation. 

 

 

 

Finances 

 

Already in the red and over the wage budget. 

 

 

 

 

Performance so far this season

 

So we step into the club and will manage our first game in January. The expectation is to finish mid table and we are hovering just above relegation by one point.

We have 21 games in the League remaining to make amends. Our next games are against 15th, 20th and 11th so it's a quite a nice introduction.
