Horsham FC I have basically done five seasons already so will do a quick run through. National League South - 2024/25 - 1st Competitions As usual had a mass clearout and acquisition of players, had an amazing season overtaking some pretty big and professional clubs for this level and winning the title. Also picked up the FA Trophy which was an extra bonus. We moved to Dorking's stadium (and not Crawley's for some reason) rather than expanding ours. National League - 2025/26 - TBC (can't remember..) Competitions Another very competitive season where we got into the play offs but lost out before the play off final. National League - 2026/27 - 1st Competitions A three figure points haul this season to give us promotion and the title, when we also turned professional. League Two - 2027/28 - 1st Competitions Another title and another promotion, as is often the case in this league, again with a large points total and thanks to some pretty good loan signings. League One - 2028/29 - 2nd Competitions Another successive promotion! Although no league title this time as Oxford pipped us right at the last game. Hopefully we'll stop for a bit now as we're having a reputation drag. We have moved however into a new 14,000 capacity stadium, sensibly the club built one with a good capacity from the get go. I'll try and update more frequently and extensively going forwards Season Division Position FA Cup League Cup Europe Notes 2024/25 NLS 1st 1st Round - - Champions, promoted, FA Trophy winners 2025/26 NL tbc 4th Round - - 2026/27 NL 1st 3rd Round - Promoted as Champions 2027/28 L2 1st 3rd Round 2nd Round - Promoted as Champions 2028/29 L1 2nd SF QF - Promoted, won FL Trophy

We got through that then had to face two Egyptian sides (shame this league is still not in FM officially) then Wydad Casablanca over the two legged final, for which we won both legs to lift the cup.

I'm in South Africa and the club has the wrong kit colour and is in the wrong city....

Bit of fixture congestion here....8 games in 13 days I had an 11 day break before that first game, you think some of these could have been moved (it was not an international break)

Crispypaul All Stars South Africa Premier Soccer League 2023/24 League - Table - a very good finish in 4th place which also qualified us for the Confederation Cup for next season Nedbank Cup - Fixtures - good run to the semis where Royal AM were just too much Transfers - a mass overhaul Finances - settled down now Squad Key players: Wandle Duba - great striker on loan from Kazier Chiefs, extended to next season Andrew Mbeba - Zimbabwean centre half signed on a free part way through the season Mohau Mokate - experienced striker Pansa Hemviboon - solid Thai centre half Prince Nxumalo - another prolific striker despite his stats Sifiso Ngobeni - great left back Future - there are no big clubs up so I've signed a contract for another couple of years for now Also became Ghana manager after the AFCON, only friendlies so far Domestic Season Team Division Position Notes 2022/23 All Stars South African NFD 3rd Promoted through playoffs 2023/24 All Stars South African PSL 4th International Year Team Achievements 2023/24 Ghana Challenge Progress Club 0/10 top domestic leagues 0/10 domestic cups 0/5 club continental championships 0/1 club world championship International 0/5 continental tournaments 0/1 world tournaments

Just to note "All Stars" used to be "Cape Town All Stars" I expect a database issue then if you want to move there

Crispypaul All Stars South Africa National First Division 2022/23 League - Season Review 1 | Season Review 2 - not actually in that bad a position when I joined, we kept pushing and just snuck into the play-offs against Richards Bay of the PSL and Cape Town Spurs. I thought that was it when we lost 4-0 at home to Cape Town Spurs however they dropped points to a weirdly rubbish Richards Bay then we won at their place to win promotion. Nedbank Cup - Fixtures - out before I joined Transfers - a few free transfers and loans in January Finances - not great Squad Key players: Keletso Makgalwa - forward on loan, shame we couldn't sign him on expiry of his contract Diamond Thopola - strong right back Phumlani Ntshangase - former Maritzburg midfielder Malebogo Modise - internationally capped left back/winger Promise Mkhuma - another loanee is this excellent striker, going to Fortuna Dusseldorf on a bosman too Future - weirdly we're moving to a 500 seat hockey stadium in Cape Town (the club is in Johannesburg) whilst seats are put in the stadium, i've had to raise that as a bug.
