PVentress Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Kings Lynn - Coca-Cola League 2 - 2012/13 Due to the fact that the promotion in the previous season had been totally out of the blue and unexpected, it was no surprise to find ourselves to be predicted to finish dead last in 24th place. The season that followed was possibly one of the most frustrating seasons i have ever had playing this game. The squad i had finished the previous season with was nowhere near strong enough to compete in the new world of full time proffesionals but it was proving massively difficult to attract anyone better than i already had, I made a number of signings working on the theory that some of them would have to perform and it would also give a number of options if low lorale and poor form etc became a problem. We started with a draw, and then followed that with a win and a further draw, but that was probably our longest unbeaten run of the entire season. No Consistency and No Morale (what ever i tried) The squad simply did not gel and the defence was abysmal, the opposition looked as though they would score almost at will. We made some tweaks and improved slightly and eventually found our place in 18th position after 14 games of some of the most frustrating football seen in these parts for years. after getting into 18th place, we pretty much stayed there for the duration of the season, no impact in any cups and manged to win a grand total of 3 away games all season. Yes we stayed up, which is pleasing but i was sure the squad was capable of so much more.

Unfortunately it was Deja vu, we matched them in every department except finishing, eventually losing 2-1 A top trophy continues to elude me, however i am into the quarter finals of the Fa Cup after a series of comfortable wins against championship teams, Man City got knocked out in the 4th round against Chelsea so maybe I have a chance in that.....

hrbfcrule Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Sutton Utd Premiership 2022/23 Competitions: Fa Cup: Beat Norwich in Final 2-0 League Cup: Lost 2-0 to Man City in Final again!!! League: 1st - Champions Europe: Champions League Winners - 3-0 vs Inter in Final League Table, League Graph Squad, Transfers With only a few transfers in the summer my team didn't need much time to gel. This showed as for once he had a good start to our campaign. We established ourselves early on as a team fighting for the title but so did 5 or 6 other teams and it was very tight up until the halfway point when Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea slipped away from the top pack of me, Tottenham, Everton and Man City. It was always tight between us four and up until 3 games to go there was never more than 4 points separating the top four (occasionally more if one of us had a game in hand). The title race was a really scrappy and if you didn't know any better you would think we were all trying to throw away points. Tottenham and Everton dropped away after losing a couple of games on the bounce whilst me and Man City were still fighting at the top. We managed to get a draw at Tottenham before tharashing Everton 4-0 while Man City lost to Fulham and then drew to Newcastle Leaving Sutton as PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!! Player/s of the Season Miguel Prats - Absolutely outstanding season, he scored 39 in 60. Also won numerous awards including Golden Boot in the Premier League, English footballer of the year and he finished 2nd in the Champions League Golden boot Edson - Brilliant season conceded just 40 in 47 appearances Anatoliy Bermudes - Solid CB deserves just as much credit as Edson for the small number of goals conceded. Only problem is his lack of discipline Ali Mutzel - Had a pretty poor 1st season with Sutton but really came into his own this season David Grieve - Bought for £15.5 mill, Sutton's most expensive buy really proved his worth Adam Walton - Been with us for for four seasons now and his average rating has increased every season. His stats may not look too good but they are high in the key areas for him Daniel Conte - scored 13 in 53 (not bad for a midfielder) but also got 18 assists and proved key in the midfield Youth Prospects Phil Smith - Less succesful than Schlabertz but still put in solid performances when given the chance Albert Schlabertz - 3rd highest scorer this season for the club with 16 in 21(23) not great but considering he is only 17. He scored many key goals as well, but will have to improve his league form Steve Allsopp - Bought in January, didn't have a great season, I'm not sure he will be a wonderkid but he should have the potential to become a key squad member Cups League Cup: We easily beat Port Vale, Notts County, Newcastle 2,3 and 4 nil respectively. These results got us to the semi final where we met Liverpool. We kept our tradition of drawing with them with 2-2 draw away, they scored the equalizing goal in the 93rd min. We were always comfortable at home beating them 2-1 and getting us through to the Final for the 2nd time in 3 years. Unfortunately it was Deja vu, we matched them in every department except finishing, eventually losing 2-1 Champions League: We played well in the group coming top but that wasn't saying much as everyone in the group played poorly. We were then given a 1st round draw against Sampdoria. Despiting dominating the 1st leg, we went down 2-0, i just don't know how that could have happened. However we completely turned it around in the 2nd leg as we made our domination count. We were unluckily drawn against Man City in the quarter finals, but this time we got payback for our 2 League Cup Final losses to them. Despite going down to 10 men early on we somehow managed to beat them 2-1 away. We then managed to get a bore draw at home to set up a semi final appearance against AC Milan. We managed a shock destruction of AC Milan at home, thumping them 4-0, and even a 3-0 loss away didn't stop us reaching our 1st Champions League final. We were playing Inter, they were unbeaten in the Champions League this year however they had drawn the last 4. We came out of the blocks much better than them and scored 2 goals quite early on, they never recovered and a late own goal finished the scoring seeing us win 3-0 and become Champions League Winners Challenge Complete FA Cup: Again an easy run up to the Semis, dispatching Wolves Crystal Palace and QPR comfortably before a surprisingly easy 3-0 victory against Chelsea Like the Champions League we scored 2 early goals and our quality showed through, comfortably holding onto our lead to secure the treble Finances: Prize money helped a lot plus selling one of my CB for 24 mill Also i managed to get in the Hall of Fame for English Managers 150+ league appearances (lge +cup) Miguel Angel (ST): 267 (313) appearances, 125 (138) Goals, Average Rating 7.06 (2014-2021) Acoran Romero (DC): 217 (255) appearances, 8 (10) Goals, Average Rating 6.97 (2012-2020) Ezio Massaro (DL,DR): 191 (217) appearances, 2 (2) Goals, Average Rating 7.03 (2012-2018) Andrej Stolarik (DC): 186 (227) appearances, 10 (11) Goals, Average Rating 7.05 (2016-2022) Witold Stepien (DR): 171 (197) appearances, 3 (3) Goals, Average Rating 6.96 (2016-Present) Idan Uzan (MC,MR): 156 (115) appearances, 20 (31) Goals, Average Rating 7.06 (2018-2023) [/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]Career so far:[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana] [/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana] [/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]Season League Position Achievements[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana] [/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2010/11 Blue Square South 2nd Promoted via playoffs[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2011/12 Blue Square Premier 1st Automatic Promotion [/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2012/13 League 2 3rd Automatic Promotion[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2013/14 League 1 7th N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2014/15 League 1 1st Automatic Promotion[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2015/16 Championship 14th N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2016/17 Championship 4th Lost in Playoff Semi Final[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2017/18 Championship 1st Automatic Promotion[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2018/19 Premiership 13th N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2019/20 Premiership 8th N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2020/21 Premiership 3rd N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2021/22 Premiership 3rd N/A[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]2022/23 Premiership 1st Premier League, Fa Cup, Champions League[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana]------------------Challenge Complete---------------------------------[/font][/color] [color=black][font=Verdana] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeropaus Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hastings United - 2015/2016 - Coca-Cola League 2 Knowing we were good enough for automatic promotion last season but failing form wise, this season there was no excuse. However, four other teams (MK Dons, Gillingham, Northampton and Exeter) all had similar ideas and all rushed out of the gate. It would go on to be one of the more exciting and interesting seasons I've played so far. --- Season Summary - 2nd To start with we kept up with the leaders, running at over 2 points a game for most of the season, but Northampton and Exeter just flew out of the gate. The top five traded blows all season, but then we went on a seven game winning streak (including wins over MK Dons and Exeter) to get us the leg up on the others. No doubt a large part of this ridiculous early pace was the embarassing display of Tranmere and Aldershot who were just totally rubbish all season, getting tonked every game. However, a couple of draws meant that going into the final day, the table was: 1st: MK Dons (92 pts) 2nd: Hastings Utd (91 pts) 3rd: Gillingham (90 pts) 4th: Exeter (89 pts) Exeter had the goal difference advantage, which basically meant that all teams would have to win to guarantee auto promotion except for MK who could draw, but that would mean surrendering the top spot to us. Final Table League Positions - Graph Alas, MK Dons went onto thrash Burton 3-0, so our 1-0 win over Barnet was insufficient to put us top. Plainly, we would have run away with this league if not for our inability to turn solid draws into wins. I found a fix of sorts for this later in the season by being more reluctant to go attacking when we were dominating the game (which was possible as our attack got more potent), simply because we were being hit on the break or the flanks too much late in the game as we tired, but it was too late and we were a point short. This is the second season in a row where we've deserved a higher spot than we've gotten so hopefully that isn't the case in a league with four relegation slots. League Cup - 1st Round Lost to Portsmouth at home 0-0 on penalties Johnstone's Paint Trophy - 1st Round Lost to Barnet 1-0 away. I always struggle against Barnet for some reason whether its L2 or BSP. Glad we're getting away from them next year. FA Cup - 1st Round Lost to Sheffield Wednesday 2-0. ---- Squad - Fairly good all around, very good depth which meant injuries had a minimal effect. Finances - Oh dear. A catastrophic loss compared to last season. Lots of contracts were renewed last year and they all wanted big pay rises which I gave into because they were still lower than equivalent free transfers. ---- Key Players Adam Hunter - I don't know how this guy keeps up. He's rated 3.5 stars and a "good League One defender", but for someone who was a leading BSS defender five years ago it's a dramatic rise. Got the top average rating again, so will likely start next season. Manuel Diaz - A Real Madrid regen who we brought in on trial. Amazing development this year though the assman says he's near full potential, he's gone from a "good League 2 striker" to a "good Championship striker". When injured we missed him, he got more clinical throughout the year. Definately one to hold onto. Daniel Phillips - A new signing to fill in a centre-back. Was very confident all season and his athletic ability neatly complemented Hunter's aerial ability. No doubt that partnership was a huge reason why we had the best defence in the league.

Azeryk- Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Season One - Blue Square South League: Went well, managed to find the right blend of youth and experience and once the cup games were out of the way we quickly went top and stayed there. Up front we were deadly with both strikers passing the 20-goal mark although defence was leakier than I would have liked - something that I need to sort of for next season. League Table: FA Trophy: Out in the 3rd Qual round to Weymouth, low-point of the season. FA Cup: reached the 1st proper round, although along the way we faced weaker sides from weaker leagues and never beat them by as many as I would have liked. Faced Lincoln at home in the 1st round, drew 0-0 and in the reply only went down 2-1 which was nice to see that we can stand toe to toe with a high placed league 2 side.

Cardiovascular Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 2020/21 - Hendon - League 2 Progression \o/ Media Prediction: 13th League Finish: 6th League Graph After all the moaning and groaning (see: above), a playoff spot was ours. But we faltered not once, but twice against Carlisle which was quite a disappointment. Squad Cups League Cup - I didn't expect to win but to lose by such a heavy margin is disappointing. Johnstone's Paint Trophy - Again, a poor effort here. Can't help losing on penalties as it's all about who is better on the day, and we clearly weren't. FA Cup - Eased past Rushden, eased out by Yeovil. Key Players Pascal Bidart - Our best player this year by far with 11 goals and eight assists. Absolutely gutted that we can't renew his contract though. Luke Pilkington - The on-loan striker from Blackburn, scoring 14 goals and providing 7 throughout the season. Good contribution. Luca Santonicito - Approaching the wrong side of 30 now but still brilliant enough to play 48 games, scoring 9 goals and assists in that time. Andy McGarvey - Solid season for the Norn Iron man. Had a fine season in central midfield. Kevin Ballard - Another solid year at the back, a rock all season.

SnakeXe Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Season 22 - SnakeXe's Merthyr Tydfil Premier League - 1st, Champions (Table) Champions League - Winners FA Cup - Sixth Round (lost v Man City) League Cup - Runners Up (lost v Aston Villa) Club World Championship - Winners European Super Cup - Runners Up (lost v Man City) Community Shield - Runners Up (lost v Liverpool) Transfers Well for the first time in 5 seasons, we didn't win a domestic cup, and we contrived to lose almost every one of the Mickey Mouse trophies - although we did manage to secure the Club World Championship again. We took home the big two though, the Premier and Champions Leagues, with the latter including some great results - the 7-1 thrashing of Juventus in the final being one of my finest moments in FM. The result also put me at the top of England's Hall of Fame. Massimiliano Maggio had another fantastic season, the 20-year old scoring his 100th goal for the club already with his second in the Champions League Final. Kelly Park is being expanded again, with another 9363 seats being added over the next 6 months. This will take the capacity to a very respectable 45,479, which I think may well be the limit of our ambitions as far as the size of the stadium goes - the population of Merthyr Tydfil is only 50,000 according to Wikipedia! And finally, Merthyr's highest ever goalscorer Jose Manuel Moran is bowing out with 252 goals for the club over 11 seasons, a true legend.

SnakeXe Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Season 22 - SnakeXe's International Career - England European Championship Qualifying - 1st (Group I) Friendlies - Played 1, Won 1, Drawn 0, Lost 0 European Championships - Winners Polished off the qualifying campaign for Euro 2032 quite comfortably, winning the group at a canter. As for the Championships themselves, we had a tough group featuring double World Cup winners Scotland, as well as old enemies France and Germany. As it was, we had an easy time of it, beating France and Scotland comfortably and drawing against Germany. Spain were dispatched in the Quarter Finals, before a tense Semi Final against a talented Romania team. Eventually we managed to prevail on penalties, in one of the tensest FM moments I've experienced since Merthyr were in the Championship Playoff Final. In the final, we faced Ukraine to win our first ever European Championship title, and though they held out for a large amount of the game, it was easy in the end after Robert Gradwell's stunning strike had broken the deadlock. All this meant I had finally achieved the ultimate accolade - top of the World-wide Hall of Fame!

League Cup final we got lucky vs city winning by a own goal.

Crispypaul Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Crispypaul - Boreham Wood - Season 2014/15 - League One We were predicted 24th. We finished.....1st. Also picked up the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and again lost in the first round in the League Cup, but made it to the 4th round of the FA Cup only to just lose to away at Sunderland. Completely forgot to take screenies of the players before the season updated! So can't list any of the top performers. In other news, Tottenham won the Premiership and Man City the FA Cup, and Blackburn won the League Cup. Man Utd picked up the Champions League and Barcelona the Europa League. Aim for this season is to not got relegated. End of. Unfortunately I still have a 4500 capacity stadium with 500 seats, and not very good training facilities. Looks like I'll have to sell my stars.

Terk Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hands up if you've just done something utterly stupid. *puts hand up* Leading 2-0 at Leyton Orient after 58 minutes, my right back took a knock and was struggling. Decided to replace him, but clearly wasn't concentrating and replaced my goalkeeper instead. With my sub right back. Had already made two changes in the first half due to injuries.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 And congrats Welsh Wizard Thanks Congrats on completing the challenge wizard! Nice and quick too! Thanks Surprisingly quick. lucky in the play-offs in most leagues. Then spent loads on players in prem on decent players. Great work by scouts tbh normally rubbish like assman. And 10.2 just made it easy for 3 strikers. Due to just English leagues being loaded, Win prem and you got great chance in euro. Only Barca or City could cause major trouble. GL to everyone still in the Challenge and anyone new stay at it. It is great fun even when you lose sometimes . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthermil Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Right....... here is New manager of Boreham Wood!!No success to report - I got knocked out of the FA Cup in the 4th qualifying round.... which the board were okay with and I got knocked out of the FA Trophy in the 3rd qualifying round..... which the board were okay with. Media prediction at the start of the season was 22nd and I was convinced I could at least avoid relegation......... However, with One Game To Go I found myself here, even though at one stage we were up to the dizzy heights of 8th!! (Cant find the graph screen!!) It was all down to a battle against my fiercest rivals, St. Albans City on the last game of the season and the pressure was intense!! I played mind games with my opponents, I praised every member of my squad and really fired them up into this Toothless Performance And, ultimately, this We just couldn't score goals I'm gutted - seriously gutted as I type this!! Where do I go from here?? Start again from scratch or take over another newly promoted team in the season 2011/2012?? How you guys achieve all your success is beyond me!! I had the same thing happen to my in my first go with Tiverton. I too didn't get the job done in the last game and the team was shown the way down. The sad thing is I decided to try again with Tiverton and so far 6 or so games in I am in dead last with 1 point and no one will sign with me (other than a keeper). I have a leak in the club that as soon as I offer someone it becomes public knowledge and 6 more offers come. If things don't turn around soon I will have to try once more, but it definitely won't be with Tiverton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2035/36 We had a great year last season, although there was a disappointment in the Champions League. This season was about promoting my own youth players, making a decent profit and hopefully maintaining my recent successes. League Table League Positions Graph We absolutely stormed the league and led by about 25 points at the half way point. I think we could have made 100 points had we not fielded a team of kids on a regular basis in the second half of the season. Oxford got relegated again but won their last two games to avoid finishing bottom. Community Shield - 15 minutes of quality settled this for us. FA Cup - such an easy run with such an easy final. Carling Cup - we very nearly threw it away against Stoke with a weakened team but made easy work of the final. UEFA Champions League - we made hard work of the group stage and continued our poor away form into the knockout rounds, not winning a single away game. The final was a classic, Milan dominated early on but a saved penalty gave us a chance to get back into the game and snatch it in extra time. Transfers - the squad was trimmed with a lot of former youth players being sold, along with two big names who were sold in favour of giving my own youth players a chance in the side. Squad - the number of foreigners is decreasing every year now, with a few more youth players getting their chances. This year I had a great batch of new players come through, with a number of them making an impact. Finances - I decided to go for a big profit this year. No doubt the shareholders will claim a huge chunk of it but at least it will leave my balance in a decent state which should give me a better chance of a new stadium. Key Player Profiles: Adam Bowditch - Sacchi was poor this year and second striker Bowditch became my top goalscorer. Tom McGoldrick - simply awesome. Richard Jones - the winger continued to impress after the sale of Blackmore. Greg Scales - my other winger also had a good year. Alan Franklin - one of the new youth players who had an impressive goalscoring record from the games he played. Possibly one for the future.

SnakeXe Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 He's a beast. I probably forgot to mention but that was all from the AMC position. Wow! I'd like to see how a guy I have would get on if I used him as an AMC, he's got remarkably similar attributes to McGoldrick, but I use him as an MC as we play a flat pair in the middle, with wingers either in a 4-4-2 or 4-2-4.

Railz Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Challenge Completed!! Oxford City are crowned 2026/27 Premiership and Champions Cup winners! I havn't posted updates every season as it was too time consuming ontop of playing the game itself, so I'm gonna post screenies from the whole journey of Transfers/Trials and League tables for each season aswell as current affairs. I started this game with the 10.2 patch.

The 2025/26 saw Oxford crowned Premiership champions but failed to progress past the 1st knockout stage of the Champions Cup. The challenge was completed in the 2026/27 season as Oxford City dominated England and Europe. 2026/27 Squad GK Thomas Moller - 3rd choice goalie with potential therefore has been on loan for the last few seasons. He was bought for £50k back in 2019 from Norwiegan club Odd Grenland and has made 6 appearances for Oxford Cty. GK Gustavo Casado - Backup/Experienced Goalie. Was brought in on a free transfer in 2025 and has made 30 league appearances for the club.

DL Murat Kayaalp - Recent addition to the squad to cover for Alejandro, the Wonderkid Left back joined in 2026 from Besiktas for £4.8m. Has made 22 appearances for the club. DC Mario Osibov - Worlds best centre back, has been a loyal servent for Oxford since signing from Braga for £11.75m in 2022. 171 Appearances and 9 goals for Oxford City. DC Warren Nkosi - Club and Country captain, the ever present Nkosi joined from South African club Jomo Cosmos in 2021 for a tiny £55k. An excellent buy as he has made 216 appearances and scored a tidy 37 goals. DC Reece Leonard - Another New arrival, Future England centre back Reece was a costly purchase at £18m from Sunderland, but excellent English youth are quite scarce therefore pricey at this time. 19 appearances for the club. DC/DM Carl Bowerman - The Bolton Wanderers legend joined Oxford on a free transfer after leaving Bolton in 2026 on a bosman due to thier relegation from the premiership. The English International was welcomed with open arms and proved a vital player for the club. He has made 30 appearances and bagged 1 goal. DM Peter Smith - Joined in 2023 from Stoke for 5.5m, currently a backup but has made 96 appearances for the club. Also has scored 6 goals. DM Jackson - The Brazilian Anchor joined Oxford City in 2025 for £13m from Brazilian club Athletico Mineiro, has made 38 appearances and scored 2 goals. MC Lima - Another Brazilian, Experienced Lima has been part of the Oxford City Revolution since joining from Cenclerbirligi for £8.25m in 2021. 150 appearances and 13 goals for his club. Also Contributed with 34 Assists MC Patrick Blaauw - Top Name, Top Player, Global Superstar Blaauw signed for Oxford from FC Twente for £3.8m in 2022. He has made 156 appearances and scored 23 goals for his club.

ST Bob Lejoly - An Oxford City Icon, Since signing from R Standard de liege in 2021 for £3m, Bob has made 191 appearances for the club, scoring an incredible 120 times and assisting 46 times.

After 89 appearances, he's baged 54 goals and assisted 36 times. AM/ST Cristiano - This kid must of idolised Cristiano Ronaldo because he is just that kind of player, scores and creates plenty and also has a stunning free kick, the World Class Brazilian forward was this seasons World Player of the Year, Goalden boot award winner and champions cup best player, Signed from Ajax for £21m in 2025. After making 72 league appearances, he's scored 54 goals and assisted 31 times. ST Frank Jans - Joined from Dutch club ADO Den Haag for £1.4m in 2023, initially brought in as a rotation player, he impressed with 81 Appearances, 34 Goals and 6 assists. ST Rinat Matveev - The young Russian Striker recently joined from Spartak Moscow for £15m. As a rotation player he's made 24 appearances, scored 5 goals and made 4 assists. Team Report Still room for improvement although we dominate almost every game, thats down to our overloading stance on tactics using a no wingers style 4-1-2-3. Ive used the same tactic throughout my game adjusting only during the match depending on if im pushing for a goal or holding a lead, it works well home and away. Vs Barcalona Champions Cup Group Stage vs Arsenal Premiership vs Man U Premiershp vs Liverpool Premiership vs Chelsea Premiership vs Inter Champions Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg Finances As you can see ive always stayed in the black, its better to gain interest rather than pay it, therfore i do almost 100% of my player purchasing on 30-48 month deals, and if you can later sell that player for instant cash (and for profit), you end up with a nice bank balance and only have to worry about monthy outgoings, in the long run it helps. Although, Its too easy to go overboard with this technique and run yourself into serious trouble, but luckily for us, we're a major competion team and winning these trophys brings excellent cash rewards Clauses Lots of outgoings still remaining although easily controlable with Champions Cup participation. Oxford City Information Overview - ''Legend'' Facilities - Best Facilites around Affiliates Richest Club - Catching up, but i think the club needs a better stadium to take advantage History In 2014 we had a supporters trust takeover. In 2019 we moved into our new 12848 stadium and then increased to 19272 in 2022, In 2024 it was increased further to what it currently remains at 25696. Competitions Attendances Biggest Wins Hall Of Fame Best Player in my Game - Steven Savage I tried to sign this guy when he regen'd as a 16 year old youthie from Blackburn in 2018 back when we were establishing ourselves in the Championship, But he choose Liverpool instead. As gutted as i was i thought it'd still be intresting to follow this guys career as his stats were pretty amazing. The English World Superstar was later sold to Man City for a Massive £65m and £200k wages, although Oxford City were a premiership club at the time, our finances or reputaion couldn't match Man City. Here are his profile pics taken each year upto my current season. 16 years 17 years 18 years 19 years 20 years 21 years 22 years 23 years 24 years 25 years History He made his 1st cap at 18 years old, He has a CA of 198 and PA of 199. He currently would join Oxford City but only if i cough up up £100m+ and £200k - £295k wages lol Future Id like to carry on the game but im in 2 minds of what to do: a) resign as a Oxford City Legend and apply for another BSS/BSN club and turn them into world dominators, or b) to carry on managing Oxford City, But only allowed to buy English players, the aim to win again the Premeirship and Champions Cup with ONLY English players Either way ill be looking for an International Challenge, I recently rejected England, Spain, Brazil and Holland after the 2026 World Cup (Italy Beat England after penalties in the final) due to the rules. Long writeup, hope you enjoyed reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
