Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The sun, the sea, the beaches and the promise of gold! But this career won't be some shoddy pirate references and I won't be managing as Captain Jack Sparrow or Edward Teach (Blackbeard) I'll just be Makoto Nakamura but with the nationality of the lowest reputation nation and also the nation we'll be starting in, Saint Barthélemy. I'll be trying to win all or as many trophies as possible in the Caribbean and work my way up the nations before finishing in probably Jamaica or Trinidad & Tobago. All Caribbean leagues will be loaded at all times as well as Canada, Mexico & the U.S.A but I won't need to manage in them, they're just there to potentially take the best players in the region and make continental competition more difficult. Our starting spot, and the home of my manager. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 FC Diables Rouges is a Barthéloméen football club. The club plays in the Saint-Barthelemy Championships, where they finished third during the 2014–15 season. The worst league around and the aim is to not finish last, perfect. Here's our starting squad, that's both the first & youth teams so we need some players! We have two real players! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) 2022/23 Pre-Season Looks like we're going to be relying on Ahmed Fourcade then! This is the formation we're back to using for this career. We've gone from predicted 2nd bottom to 2nd but that may all change still because we have the cup to play before the league begins. Just the three transfers since I took over. Edited January 7, 2023 by Makoto Nakamura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 October 2022 What a great start to the cup! With two games remaining we're already safely through to the semi final with Ahmed Fourcade scoring ten goals!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 December 2022 We're definitely not going to be a one season wonder with us losing our first game of the season in the cup final. We managed to bring in two players on a free, the interesting one being Maxime Chevreuil who I only signed because he was the manager of the Saint Barthelemy national team but resigned when I decided to sign him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 January 2023 Oh boy, oh boy, what a start to the season! 18 goals for Ahmed Fourcade in the first six matches!! I don't know how we could persuade Carlos Edwards to come here, but what a player for this level! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 February 2023 Our first dropped points of the season but Ahmed is still well ahead of the game! To be fair his closest challenger has 17 goals for ASPSB already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 April 2024 Top of the league but only just, ASPSB will jump ahead of us if they win their game in hand. It also doesn't look like any jobs will come up in Montserrat for some time. Freddie Nelson is rated as stable. With a win percentage of four after two years in charge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 2023/24 End of Season Review A much closer league campaign this time with us only snatching it with victory over ASPSB on the final day of the season, I'm not going to resign since there's nothing available for me in Montserrat but next season will be very tough with our six best players all retiring at the end of the season. This record won't be broken as the old timers retire!
