Peljam Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Grrrr! My board are irritating me. It's december, time to renew some contracts. I would have done it at the start of the season but being 500k in the red meant I was too poor. Now I'm about 500k in the black and things are only going to get better BUT... The board are unhappy with the wage bill and want me to cut down. Last season I had a wage bill of 30k which was under the limit. This season they've revised it down to 24k. That means now I can't offer some players the same wage as before! So I can't even match the old contract for some of my star players. I don't see many players accepting a wage drop at the moment. Even worse is the fact Anson, my star striker and fan fave, doesn't think we can afford him anymore...and he's right! The most I can offer is 2.4k a week. I can't bleed funds from my transfer budget because...I don't have one. Well...I do. £484 to be exact. Not quite enough to make a difference. I've released as many players as I can, which has only cut the wage deficit to -4k a week. Still too much according to the board. What do they want!!! They can afford to give me more money, at least enough to keep key players here surely. I'm tempted to demand more money but I don't want the sack. Anyone here had good responses to wage requests?

kccircle Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Last night I shut down my game and clicked no to saving it in a drunken error. I'd lost just about every game of the 20 matches or so that I played and havent the heart to go back to it. I am therefore calling it a day. Shame really, was on season 2017/18. On a more positive note I kept a North Ferriby save, the closest team to Hull (and presumably guaranteed to have Hull as a feeder club) so will pop back to this challenge sometime soon.

Peljam Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Witton Albion - 14/15 - League 1 - Rodrigo De La Vega Table Graph Bah. Not a great season. Not horrific though. I told the board mid table and thats what I got. Good enough considering they were being tight with the purse strings. On the up side we made plenty of money and the team is showing some signs of promise. What is clear though is that I only have one reliable striker, Anson. So, need to get another striker for next season, and maybe get an extra defender in to shore things up a little. Ooo, just offered Anson a new contract and I can finally meet his demands. Maybe things'll work out. Roll on next season, providing the board renew my contract! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xx2olegendxx Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Tiverton Town - 08/09 BSS Midseason review Mixed emotions going into the new year for Boy Keane. Good work at the start of the season has been undone by runs in cup competitions. The highlight of these coming in the FA Cup; 2nd Qualifying Round: H 4-2 Taunton 3rd Qualifying Round: A 3-2 Hastings Utd 4th Qualifying round: H 3-1 Tooting & Mitcham FA Cup 1st Round: A 2-0 Exeter FA Cup 2nd Round: H 3-3 Mansfield FA Cup 2nd Round Rep: A 3-2 Mansfield FA Cup 3rd Round: A 0-4 Liverpool While it has secured the clubs finances it has left the squad looking tired and struggling for consitancy. It is looking likely to be a struggle to push on in the table from the solid start. With the squads strengh mainly coming from loan signings Boy Keane will be looking in the coming months to find the 11 players which will hopefully become the heart of the team for years to come. The main aim at the start of the season was to be in a strong position going into the final stages. Giving Boy Keane the time to release all loan signings and have a closer look at the credentials of those already brought in this season. Time to put the cup mentality behind them and get down to the bread and butter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xx2olegendxx Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Tiverton Town - 08/09 BSS Season review Boy Keane's prediction of a 1st place finished proved to be spot on in the end. Table Graph In terms of results a good solid start, Tivvy hit the top early and only fixture congestion and a slight dip in form mid season saw them drop slightly. The main concern will be the ability of the players brought in by Boy Keane. It became clear early on that Tivvy were going to have to rely mainly on loan signings as the youngsters recruited pre season were mainly not up to scratch. A total of 32 players signed pre season 12 loan signings and 20 on 1 year part time contracts. Of the 20 only 6 have been deemed good enough to be given long term full time contracts. 3 have been offered a thurther 1 year part time deal. The remaining 11 all to be released. 6 Signed Bowman Caddick Cotton Green McIntosh O'Brien Some serious work needs to be done with the squad before the start of the next season but the foundations are in place. Boy Keane will be hoping he can get the deadly Mason brothers back on loan for another season. The pair contributed 59 goals between them but the intrest they attracted could mean he will be looking elsewhere. Boy Keane's tactical rating 8/10 Boy Keane's transfer dealings 4/10 Boy Keane's financial control 10/10 Overall season rating 7/10 The aim for next season will again be promotion but the important factor will be putting a aquad in place that is not reliant on loan signings to compete in League 2.

exacerbating Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 New Challenge Preview (and entry) - Hitchin Town 08/09 Having decided I was now half decent at Football Manager, I thought it would be good to give this a go, taking over "Hitchin Town". Can't say I've ever heard of them but "The Canaries" play at the brilliantly named "Top Field". After 3 weeks of buying in youngsters (the pick of the youngsters is shown below) to fill a totally empty squad screen I feel I have achieved quite alot. Not least because West Ham have decided that a team with minimal youth and basic training facilities, containing 0 senior squad players was a prime candidate to be their feeder club. Since they became my parent club, 6 of their youngsters have been signed. Unfortunately the next Franz Beckenbauer (Marko Marin) spurned the opportunity to play at Top Field. I did however manage to sign Marek Stech, James Tomkins, Jordan Spence, Tony Stokes, Fred Sears and Kyel Reid. I am quite amazed we managed to capture a player of Kyel Reid's quality though. Looking forward to this game more than I thought I would. Bring it on! Prediction for the season would be a fairly high finish, purely because of the quality players I got from West Ham, they're going to have to put up with playing alongside some crap though. I'd say 5th place (gulp!). Best player - Kyel Reid Best young player signed - Josh Ellis Managed to beat 10 clubs to his signiture.

cSnakeman Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Season Review 08/09 - Kings Lynn A poor start in charge of newly promoted Kings Lynn with an 11-1 drubbing off of parent club Norwich City turned out to be blessing in disguise. A total of 8 city players were on-loan at the Walks Stadium throughout the season, including two of the strikers that took the Linnets apart on that fateful July afternoon. Tipped for relegation by the media and the board, only Crazy Snakeman and the Kings Lynn faithful believed the club could survive but even they would not have believed the rollercoaster ride ahead of them. Former England international Dion Dublin signed on a free transfer and was made club captain immediately. That signing was followed soon afer by 43 year old former England International, and QPR legend Andy Sinton. Their experience, coupled with the youthful experience of what was to almost become the Norwich City 'B' team and the offer of high bonuses for winning the league, the season did begin well. Good cups runs in the Setanta Shield and FA Trophy kept the club afloat financially, however defeat to eventual finalists Bedford in the FA Trophy 3rd round was a particular low point in a competition the fans had begun to believe could have graced the newly built trophy cabinet at the Walks Stadium. The league was fairing well too; climbing to mid-table by September, and soon after into the playoff positions the Lynnets enjoyed a strong season in the league all season, finally finishing fourth after 3 defeats in the final three games. League Table Positions Graph Soon the playoffs were underway. A 1-1 draw away in the first leg against Tamworth, a side that had beaten Kings Lynn on the season run-in set up an intriging 2nd leg encounter. In front of a massive 3250 spectators Chris Brown scored the only goal of the first half to put the Lynnets in front. Tamworth came at Kings Lynn early doors in the second half but they hadnt banked on 18 year old Goalkeeper Declan Rudd having the game of his season. With Tamworth throwing everything at Kings Lynn, putting the goal at siege, but they could not beat the young Norwich Loanee. Then in stoppage time, a quick counter attack and Phil Ormrod found the onion bag at the other end. King Lynn were through to the Playoff final. So the biggest day in Kings Lynn's history approached, a Blue Square Conference North Playoff final against Hinkley at the Pirelli Stadium. Hinkley took an early lead but before King Lynn manager Crazy Snakeman could begin to worry if this would not be their day goals from topscorers Chris Brown and Chris Martin flipped the game on its head and thats how it would stay. Promotion in his first season in charge, and the key to the city. What a season it had been. Playoff Final A poor defence leaked a massive 103 goals thoughout the season so a strong attack was required to keep the team from defeat after defeat. Three Norwich City loanees had this covered scoring a huge 115 goals between them. Kris Renton Chris Martin Chris Brown Its going to be a tough season in the Blue Square Premier next season with both former England internationals retiring and all loanees returning to their parent clubs, so it is going to be a busy closed season for the manager and chairman's cheque book.

dafuge Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 This is turning out to be a strange season, I'm a little bit worried about my board confidence. I'm currently below expectations in the league, somehow I'm 12th despite having the 3rd best GD in the league. The board are very unhappy. Carling Cup they wanted me to reach the QF, I got Chelsea away in the 3rd round and got knocked out, they are unhappy. Same thing looks like it'll happen in the FA Cup, expected to reach the 5th round, got Arsenal away in the 3rd round. I've not played it yet but they are the league leaders so they are bound to knock me out. I've mentioned it in GQ before, but it is ridiculous how the board can set a target for you in the cups, regardless of who you are drawn against.
