Makoto Nakamura Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 January 2032 A poor end to the Champions League League phase but we just sneak in to the last 16 in 8th place whilst in the league we're still top with two games in hand! Dennis Groen joined us for £2.6m two seasons ago, made 0 appearances and now we potentially could make a slight profit on him whilst Mamadou was signed for £110k last season, made two sub appearances and is now off to Arsenal for up to £13.5m!

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Welcome to Saudi Arabia! I've holidayed a season and taken control of a club promoted to the 4th tier of Saudi football, of the 20 or so reloads this side Al-Tadamon Al-Arabi were the club with the lowest reputation. Thank you Wikipedia for the information. What I have gathered is that they are a side based in the Northern Borders region of Saudi Arabia, the least densely populated region of the country and not one known for football, the biggest club in the area is Arar which are a mid-table 3rd tier side. The closest side in the top two tiers to us are Al-Tai and they're 260 miles away which potentially means the local top tier derby would be Plymouth vs Nottingham Forest! A clay surface, I think that's new for me! We have 13 players, no strikers, two already being bid on by other clubs and another five who are wanted, it isn't ideal! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after our intake we have no strikers. An extra 50% added to the stadium and thankfully it isn't too expensive! Because we didn't have a full eleven it means we don't get the majority of end of season bit like the best eleven. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
