starburst91 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Look in the top 2 portuguese leagues, they dont have a reserves team and they all have a ridiculous amount of players and you can find some real bargains who don't expect huge wages and will come to your team even though there probably championship standard xD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 2023/24 Season Review Two seasons in a row I had lost in the playoffs, this year I just had to do it. League Table League Positions Graph Was disappointing to miss out on automatic promotion yet again. Squad Star Player A while ago I was describing him as a flop, now he's my star striker. Transfers This was the year that my chairman had his biggest impact, selling my star supporting striker and my club captain. Dariusz Wysocki Looks like a great signing for the future, just a shame it wasn't in a position I needed a player in. Roland Jakab Signed as backup for my defence, I had no intention of playing him. Nikos Theodoridis A last minute replacement for club captain and club legend Ryan Gaughan. Wen Ningning Signed on a free transfer during an injury crisis, I didn't need to use him in the end. Job News I've already made my mind up, this will be my last season at the club. The constant selling of my best players by my chairman has convinced me that there's nothing more I can do to get this club promoted without his backing. After the playoffs I will quit.

fatski Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Wow..St.Albans, or 'Arsenal Reserves' as they're more commonly known by jealous clubs in the Blue Square South, are shaping up VERY nicely, and are hardly spending a penny while they're at it. Players signed on loan from Arsenal, and I never expected half of these to want to come, are as follows: You are allowed 2 season long loans, and they are Vito Mannone and Rhys Murphy(I know, I cant believe it either!) 3 month long loans are: Kyle Bartley(DC) Emmanuel-Jay Thomas (DLC-DM) Thomas Cruise(Beck's got him into football- DC) Rene Steer (DL) James Dunne(MC) Jay Simpson(AMR-FC) Gilles Sunu(ST) Fair to say i am rather excited about the coming season, even though I'm 40-1 to in the league...!

fatski Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hello Rhys Murphy, welcome to St. Albans, That's it for tonight. That was my first match of the season. I am playing 433 so I expect more high-scoring games. Also, one problem that I didnt foresee is that I'm only allowed 5 loanees in a squad. And I have 9. So thats why my defence is dodgy. Good old Mannone saved a pen, then the point blank rebound, but couldn't stop the rebound of the rebound. I'm looking forward to having those two for the whole season! A demain.

Charlesbeams Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 finished the season, but ill update with a summary and what not tomorrow. i went back to see Dag & Red again, and they survived relegation, weird, they had to have an extra play-off game because of how the table was after the last game.

dafuge Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'd see how much pocket money your given first, because I think you'll need to make quite a few transfers I think if I stay I'll keep the same squad and perhaps pick up a few Brazilians (if I'm allowed to scout there). I don't really want to do well in the Premier League with Wycombe, the chairman doesn't deserve it but I'd quite like to see how my current squad would cope.

robbo3d Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Good luck with Stafford smithers. I'm also in charge of them, hoping for playoffs this season but things are starting to fall apart.

Charlesbeams Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Montevarchi Calcio Aquila Serie C2/B 2011-12 Media Prediction: 14th Actual Finish: not 14th right, i never know what to write with these, so i just type as i go along. Pre-Season i joined Montevarchi with 3 pre-season games to go, two were against fairly decent teams reserve teams, Sochaux reserves and Cagliari reserves, also some non-league italian club. i didnt expect to get much out of them, other than Olginatese, and i didnt really, at all, losing to Sochaux reserves and Oglinatese, got a draw against Cagliari reserves though. Transfers i knew the squad was weak, so i went about signing alot of players, and i signed 9 new players, what i didnt realise was that they'd already signed 13 players. the best player i signed was Giuseppe Negro, who was easily my best player all season, if we didnt have him, we'd be relegated for sure. Giuseppe Negro Cups i started the season in the Serie C Cup, they have 22 groups with 5 teams in each one, so i had to win the group to get through to the next round, and although i didnt get through, i thought i did quite well winning 3 of my games, losing my last one, which gave another team first place League i won my first league game, and i thought i would have been in for an easy ride, but was wrong, losing my next 3, after that i'd win a few, lose a few, lose a few more, i only drew 2 of my games. overall it wasnt the greatest season, but i did survive relegation, which was what i wanted. i was also happy that i beat alot of the teams when i was predicted to struggle, we'll have to win more next season . yes i signed a new 2 year contract. Transfers Final Table Squad Profile Montevarchi Calcio Aquila Serie C2/B 2012-13 Media Prediction: 10th Season Expectations: Top-Half (9th or above) i also got linked with FC Gueugnon, which i wasnt happy about at first, but i checked their players and i could probably steal a few. ill probably look to bring in a striker, a new keeper, and possibly a defender or two. friendlies need sorting too. just realised the squad is the wrong screenshot, nevermind, cant go back now either.

dafuge Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Pre Season News It has been an incredibly busy one in what should be my final season at the club. Fed up with my stupid chairman selling all my best players, I thought I'd get my own back and waste a bit of his money.

dafuge Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The day has come slightly earlier than I thought, I've finally received an offer from a club which I would like to manage. I am now the new manager of Deportivo La Coruna in the Liga BBVA. I know this is a step down from top flight football but this is exactly what I was looking for, a move to a big(ish) club. Finances look ok but there's not much spending money and it is September so the transfer window is shut anyway. Looks like I'm stuck with the existing team as I try to get them back to where they belong in the Premera Division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
