Carl0s Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 A few weeks ago I posted on here that I was starting as Clyde. I did start that game but I hadn't had time to post anything. I'm enjoying the game so much, I just didn't want to use my time writing things up haha. I'm now in my 12th Season, and lifted the SPL title for the first time last season. I went straight in to the group stages of the Champions League and got drawn with Barca, Bayern Munich & Olympiakos. I had 4 seasons in the SPL, just avoiding relegation. I then found a tactic on this forum (Czech Repulic 2004 tactic) and I won the league by a point to Celtic. I keep getting offered a lot of German Players and these are the key for me. I won the Scottish league cup one of the seasons I nearly went down, surprisingly beatin Rangers on the way. The board built me a new stadium and also ugraded both my youth and training facilities. If anyone knows of a player called Decan Gallagher for Clyde, he was my Captain for 10 Seasons. In the end he became a liability and retired. I can't believe he was still class from SD3 - SPL. I'll post up some screenshots ASAP, as I work over Christmas I'm quite busy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Carl0s - Looking forward to seeing those screenshots. I just accidentally told my players I was far from happy with their performance after a 3-0 away win. Realised just after I'd clicked that I'd done a bad thing. Thankfully it motivated most of them, and the ones it upset I saved with some individual team talks. Phew! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Mannheim, i completed our second season of Bundesliga II last night. have we been promoted or will it be a 3rd season in Bundesliga II??? hopefully i can get an update done and up tomorrow after i finish work for Christmas. hoping to kick on as well as home alone for plenty of FM time until christmas Eve teatime.

Twellman24 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 doesn't sound good... hope you can manage to avoid relegation. Actually, it doesn't sound that bad. I've managed to get a few good youth products, and with the help from them plus the South American young talents I purchased, I got promoted--this season has been really hard (I'll be lucky if I get to 30 points), which added to the fact that pretty much all foreigners want to leave to better things, have me kind of looking forward to relegation and rebuilt. I'm already planning on selling all these money grabbers and promote even more youth from down below. My main team's star is a Zamora product though--Sebastian Garcia, who you'll meet tonight.

DodgeeD Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Keçiorengücü 2019/20 Season Review Quick Overview Premier Division: 3rd Championship Group: 2nd (qualified for next season’s Champions League) Turkish Cup: 5th Round Champions League: Final Qualifying Round Europa League: 1st Knockout Round Premier Division After last year’s second place, we slipped back slightly as we finished third, mainly due to an indifferent start to the season. Our defence had been steadily improving over the last couple of seasons but with José Carlos Ada gone, we lacked a senior player at the back and started to conceded again. That made for some exciting clashes like this 13-goal thriller with Kayserispor but also cost us any chance of a realistic challenge for top spot. Fenerbahçe ran away with it in the end. Galatasary were tough to catch too but we did manage this result against them. Final Table Championship Group With Fenerbahçe some way ahead in first and Beşiktaş some way back in 4th, the main interest in the Championship Group was whether or not we could overtake Galatasaray and qualify for the Champions League. We did just that beating Beşiktaş home and away and taking 4 points of Galatasaray. We beat Fenerbahçe at home but by the time the final match in Istanbul came around, they were confirmed champions. That match was to be their coronation and our only defeat in this stage. Still, we get another crack at the Champions League qualifiers next year! Final standings Turkish Cup Things started off well with a 6-0 away win at Sivasspor in the 4th Round. We got a tough draw for the next round against Galatasaray, who in the end edged an entertaining game 5-4 in extra time. Champions League Qualifiers We were in the tough side of the draw with the runners-up from the top nations of Europe. We faced Lokomotiv Moscow first and pulled off a shock with a 5-2 win in Moscow followed by a 4-1 win back in Ankara. Further progress would be tough though as we were paired with Inter in the next round. A 2-2 draw at home left us in a difficult position. It got more difficult as we went a goal down in Italy. A sending off for the home side gave us hope but they hit us on the counter-attack twice in the second half before we grabbed a late consolation to lose 3-1. And that meant we were heading to the… Europa League I was hopeful of progressing from the group stage as we would face Lokomotiv once again and although we got an Italian side again, it was Calgiari rather than one of the bigger ones. Man City were bound to be favourites to qualify so it was all about who could get second. A win over Calgiari was a good start but our next match was tough as we returned to Russia and Lokomotiv got their revenge with an easy 3-0 win. With a trip to Manchester up next, I was worried about our chances of going through. We got a boost, however, as Man City made the mistake of taking us a bit lightly and we twice took the lead (with Nicky Woodford scoring against the team who had let him go). In the end, we had to settle for a 2-2 draw but that was a result I was delighted with. We lost the return game as Man City sent out a full-strength side against us but a win in Italy followed to put us within a point of qualification. We got that at home to Lokomotiv but we were made to suffer as they pushed for a late winner that would have sent them through. In the end, we hung on to make the knockout rounds. Final Table Sevilla awaited once European play resumed. As they had won every single game they had played in the Europa League so far, I knew beating them would be a tall order and so it proved as we lost 2-1 at home. We had chances to win in Spain, aided in no small part by a sending off but we couldn’t find a way through. That game finished 0-0 and we were out. In the end, Sevilla and Man City would contest the final so we made a good showing for ourselves. The Squad: Transfers For the first time in this save, I lost a few first team players who were making noises about joining bigger clubs as midfield playmaker Maior (refused a new contract) left followed by Ada (demanded way too much for a new deal). We also lost left-back Nergiz (transfer request) in January. I also experienced chairman interference for the first time as my best defender, Mizrahi also left in January. The fee of 13.25m TL was good but losing such a key player was not. Melih Tunç Yalabik came in to replace Mizrahi and the other signings were mainly youngsters with bright futures, including a crop of English kids who, despite being released by their clubs back home, impressed as England won the U20 World Cup. The Squad: Key Players Şahin Kaya (DM) – A consistent performer all season. By the end of the year, he was getting called up to the Turkish side and was even named in the squad for Euro 2020. Hakan Konak (AMR/C) – Missed many games with injury but was a vital part of the team when fit with goals and assists aplenty. He may be the next player to leave though as he has only one year left on his contract and has refused to open talks as of yet… Barış Tan (AMLC) – Also struggled with injury but once again contributed some vital goals. Nicky Woodford (ST) – Damn! Forgot the screenshot… Woodford didn’t quite hit the heights of last season and had a couple of spells without a goal but was still our topscorer. The Squad: Ones to Watch 16 year-old youth system graduate Kadir Alagöz impressed in his first season with the first team. Erman Ergin also continued his impressive development and is now pushing for a regular starting XI place. Klevis Zmijani also did well in his first full season at the club and may feature more often more season if Konak moves on. Harun Inan also showed promise after arriving in the summer and the pick of the crop of English youngsters was Alexandre Tavares whose pace caused all sorts of trouble for many a slow Turkish defender! The Squad: Awards Nicky Woodford was Top Goalscorer in the Turkish Premier League yet again as well as the 2019 Best Player in Turkey and the Supporters’ Player of the Year. He was our only representative in the league’s Team of the Year. Erman Ergin and Şahin Kaya gave us a 1-2 in the Young Player of the Year standings. And we have now won the Turkish Premier Division Fair Play League 5 years in a row! The Season Ahead… I expect us to progress to the final qualifying stage for the Champions League again. Then it all comes down to luck of the draw. Domestically, I expect us to challenge at the top again. Some silverware would be nice! Off the pitch, I’m trying to persuade the board to expand the current stadium or build a new one. The 5,040 capacity is starting to get restrictive and we may well need a bigger, better home to push on to the next level. With that in mind, I haven’t asked for improvements to facilities this season as I hope to keep money in the bank.

Twellman24 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 OK then, here we go! (If anybody need any extra screenies just let me know--I'm a 27 grown man and the last thing I feel like doing is cheat in a videogame challenge, but I welcome people asking for more proof since I haven't been updating here). Peter Donnoban (the odd last name is just in case I get a son so I can identify him quickly )'s profile. Zamora starts the game in Segunda B in Spain, but got relegated to Tercera in the 11/12. I tried a spell with Haro (as some will remember on the first page) but got relegated, so I took someone recently promoted--these guys. 13/14 - Transfers Basically bought anything and everything I could find and disposed of all the Tercera rubbish. We played a very good season to have been just promoted, and finished second, getting kicked out in the playoffs. Table ________________ 14/15 - Transfers Bought some more stuff---amongst them Vera, a very promising CM who turned out to be meh throughout the net few years. This time finished third and got promoted through the playoffs! A bit too soon, if you ask me. Table _______________ 15/16 - Transfers Tenjeri, a croatian LM who ripped it while he played for us, was the star of the summer for Zamora. Started making some money in the transfer market. We started pretty poorly but managed to get ahead in the last bit of the season and stay clear of relegation! Table _______________ 16/17 - Transfers Bunch of foreigners full of pride wanted better football and left. We made some nice money. Signed a bunch of players, amongst them Erik Johnson, our first international (USA) who never actually played for the national team even though he kept getting called, and was rubbish for us. A rubbish American GK, go figure. We did a tad better this year, building the blocks for the seasons to come. Table ________________ 17/18 - Transfers More good players wanting to leave. Tenjeri really wanted to, and we shipped him to Mallorca. Our 6 7'' tower CD Borognia went back to Argentina, and Russian FW Solojov to Slovakia (we'd make another 1.6m on this guy two seasons later due to clauses). Even though we were never the favorites (expectations from the media: 20th), we managed to get in the playoffs and win them to achieve promotion to the BBVA! Table And that's where we are right now--as a bit of a treat due to the lack of more screenies for the past 5-6 years, I'll post along with next season's report a snapshot of the club and its main stars. Like I said, any other screenies you need, you name them. Thanks for listening! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure how we are going to get to the next level and get in euro on a regular basics but likely will have to sell some of the better players to build but finding the players we need and getting the better Russians will be very hard so in a hard place with the finances and facilities the way they are. Early K.O of the Cup this year but a great run in Euro to get in the group after a very tough matches vs Rosenborg Had a very tough group and only managed the one win. Transfers Squad Finances Loads of in and outs as I tried to balance the books out better but still have a squad able to stay in the top flight finances looking better but mainly down to euro run which will be missed next season and te money we made on selling players so finances will likely get worst. Key Players Mexilhão - Another decent season in defence.

Twellman24 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Zamora - June 2019 Transfers - Our first season in the Spanish elite--and we were up there with a team full of young people and youth products. We tried to buy smart and talented. 21 yo Spanish GK Etxeberria joined from Athletic showing promising traits, but did not do so hot this season. RM Verheul arrived from Betis and almost right away wanted to leave. We got some BBVA experience with Lolo (CB from Espanyol), Bruno (CM) and Diego Lopez (GK) both from Villarreal, or De las Cuevas' loan. Mid-season, things were not going that well and we decided to break the bank and bring in some emergency talent, hoping it would save us.It didn't. Basically, we were always in relegation spots, and with a few games to go, it was made official. We were BY FAR the most socred on squad, passing the 100 mark. Disappointing, and frustrating to see smaller sides beating us 4-0 and 5-0. We basically weren't prepared--but it also did not help that most of our foreign talent wanted to move to better things--so as soon as we got relegated, we did just that. At a risk to be less competitive next season in Segunda, I am getting rid of the "stars" of the team, and keeping my youth and the committed players we have. I rather not come back to the BBVA with them than having to listen to the others' complains all season long. Table In the Copa del Rey, we went out in the first round we participated, being overpowered by Granada, who would finish last in the BBVA. Attention: In my save game, every player with a "D" in front of each player is a youth product. Just FYI. Stats: 1 and 2 Lopez and Etxeberria got killed every game, and were crap. Very few defenders were decent for us, either. Other than Bonnoglio and Elder Luiz, nobody else did much in the midfield, and up top, Sebastian Garcia kept things going for us longer than they should have. One of the few proud moments of my season: here. With the team already relegated, we visited Barcelona, and put on the field a team full of Zamorans. You can count them by seeing who has a "D" before his name. We still lost 6-0, but it was AWESOME. Finances. We are looking good, and I can expect a good 15m this summer by selling all those power-hungry foreigners. The big chunk of the money will go to the building of the new stadium, which will open in 2022, seeing as we have been filing up the 8,000 capacity of our current stadium every game this year. We will also use the funds to better training and youth facilities. So, the next season's goal is to rebuild, and try to give it a go at promotion. For some reason, the media expectations put us at 22th after all those sales, which is a bit dramatic, but whatever (starting to thing it's a bug). The best of Zamora Sergio Etxeberria - We signed him from Athletic hoping to have the future of the national team, and he was utter crap. He was very close to living at the end of this season as well, but we had a talk and he wants to stay, so we're sticking with him. Let's hope he wakes up, soon. D Josan - I know this guy's not much, but for some reason I see huge potential in him. He'll have lots of games next season in the Segunda. D Antonio Torres - The guy is 23 and he has already played nine years with us, playing over 150 games in the leagues already. I love this guy--never complaisn, never plays amazingly, but he always plays well. D Ivan - This guy is approaching 2 and he is yet to break through, but I have faith in him. He'll have more minutes this year. D Sebastian Garcia - Our guy. 19 years of age, 101 league games and 40 goals already. Our most valued players (and of course Zamoran), this guy was pretended by Real Madrid a few years back, but we weren't having any of it. He's a bit annoyed all the foreigners have left and is expecting key players to be bought to replace them, but I hope he comes around. I really do not want to lose him. We're getting offers on the 6-7m range by now from BBVA teams, but no thanks. Zamora's Best XI ever - Other than Zamorans Antonio Torres and Garcia, nobody else is here as of this season. _________________ 2013/14 - Segunda B - 2nd, 79 points, lost in promotion playoffs - No Copa del Rey 2014/15 - Segunda B, 3rd, 76 points, promoted via playoffs! - Copa del Rey: Third round vs Sestao 2015/16 - Liga Adelante - 17th, 50 points - Copa del Rey: Second round vs Oviedo 2016/17 - Liga Adelante - 14th, 54 points - Copa del Rey: Forth round vs Athletic Bilbao 2017/18 - Ligha Adelante - 4th, 74 points, promoted via playoffs! - Copa del Rey: Second round vs Elche 2018/19 - Liga BBVA - 19th, 25 points, relegated! - Copa del Rey: fourth round vs Granada _________________ Thanks for iistening!

PRDH Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You know that team I lovingly crafted? Taking it to the title with exciting, attacking and high-scoring football? Well, where the hell has it gone? I have not dominated a single game this season. I have scrapped and struggled picking up points here and there but never building a decent run. Not able to take hold of a game in midfield, put up a wall at the back or take chances up front. The team has, quite frankly, taken several large steps backwards this season, and I've no idea why. Edit - Sorry about that rant. I'm really losing faith this season. I just don't know what has changed. I lost a couple of players, but replaced them with guys who, if not necessarily as good, are at least nearly there. I'm playing the same tactics. I don't think I'm treating the players any differently. But rather than looking like a good team they look like a group of players who've never met each other before. We're giving the ball away all over the pitch. HELP! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britrock Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Vallee d'Aoste - Saint Christophe 2014/15 Serie C1/B End of season Table || Graph || Fixtures 1 || Fixtures 2One long slog that took 4 or 5 attempts to get through thanks to the depression involved. The team was the definition of inconsistent and couldn't string together a few wins to save our lives. We ended up in the playout against Piacenza, but thankfully they were even worse than us and we hammered them 6-2 on aggregate to survive. We made it to the second round of the Serie C cup which made a nice change from going out in the group stage, but nothing really to write home about. We never got entered into the Italian Cup. Finances Saved from making a huge loss by my board ploughing in about £800k of investment. Spent most of the season around £1.5-2k over my wage budget which wouldn't have helped (although my wage budget is a measly £8.5k) Squad || Transfers The squad was mainly a big disappointment. A few players who were rated with Serie B potential by my coaches and scouts couldn't even hack it in C1. Needless to say they were all let go at the end of the season when their contracts ran out or they were sold on for whatever I could get. I signed a load of players on Bosman's at the end of the season to try and make a push next season. A few of the more impressive players: Gerardo Strumbo - signed on a £1k wage, which pushed the limit a bit, but totally worth it. Solid defender who performed consistently.

It is a tough nut to crack tho, so good luck with your continued push in the Russian Premier Division; PRDH, sounds like your having a bit of a nightmare, i know how frustrating it can be to have your team go from winning and performing well to becoming seemingly hopeless, hope things pick up for you; Twellman24, hard luck with the relegation, im sure you'll bounce back better prepared; bad luck in the playoffs iacovone, mustve been so frustrating for you to get so close yet again, it will definitely happen soon! In preparation for my 3rd season in the Russian Premier Division, ive again been given absolutely nothing to spend on strengthening the squad, and a very small wage budget increase! I guess the only way im ever going to be able to compete is with a really good consistent few years, hope the stadium fills out a bit more and someone sees the potential that investment will help us push on to the next level...otherwise i have no idea what to do, or how much further we can progress with this terrible board who lack ambition and financial clout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a tough nut to crack tho, so good luck with your continued push in the Russian Premier Division;In preparation for my 3rd season in the Russian Premier Division, ive again been given absolutely nothing to spend on strengthening the squad, and a very small wage budget increase! I guess the only way im ever going to be able to compete is with a really good consistent few years, hope the stadium fills out a bit more and someone sees the potential that investment will help us push on to the next level...otherwise i have no idea what to do, or how much further we can progress with this terrible board who lack ambition and financial clout Thanks. Yeah seems a very hard challenge but one I'm enjoying. Very similar situation it seems we are in. There is money in Russia but in the big clubs so quite a big gap to fill. Took finances in my own hands this season and sold two of my best players. Looking very heathly now lack the fans currently to increase revenue through stadium so may turn in to a selling club untill we are able to advance. Maintain our place in the top filght is my main aim but the board keep upping there aim each season without putting anything in the club to help reach them.

PRDH Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 PRDH, sounds like your having a bit of a nightmare, i know how frustrating it can be to have your team go from winning and performing well to becoming seemingly hopeless, hope things pick up for you Objectively it's not actually that bad, it's just we really aren't making progress. I should finish the season soon and get the report up sharpish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 PRDH, if it makes you feel any better--we are sucking in our return to Segunda. Currently in relegation spots, with no decent player wanting to sign for us, Sebastian Garcia wanting to leave, and hoping and praying the next batch of youngsters will save us. Nuf said.

PRDH Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Lusitânia Açores - Season Summary - 2022/23 Finances Key figure - £10,720,485 | Summary Maintained a strong position largely due to my continued sale of players. We'd be screwed were it not for my transfer policy. Transfers | 10 in (£9m), 7 out (£20m) Let's start with the transfers away from the club. Thiago and Igor Yurkin were sold in the summer and January respectively by my delightful chairman, shearing the team of it's width. Raphaël Leclerc went due to a clause in his contract and Mamadou Badji kicked up a fuss about wanting to move to to a bigger club, so I let him go to Saudi Arabia. I then shipped out a few youngsters who'd not made it. On to happier news and transfers arriving. More on them later, but the main arrivals were Joffrey Fontaine, Ararat Vardazaryan and Boris Grivicic brought into replace Thiago, Badji and Leclerc respectively. League | Predicted - 5th League | Graph Very odd season. I played very poorly pretty often, managed a few dodgy wins, a few losses and the occasional decent performance. Fortunately for me a lot of the competition were poor too. I'm also going to have to apologise for all the whining earlier, because it actually wasn't a bad season over all. The short version, though, is that if I won on the last day of the season I would sneak ahead of Benfica and claim the title. We grabbed an early goal, then a second. Rio Ave got one back but we held on and took our second Premier League title on results between teams (again). Potentially more amazingly however was Sporting's performance. They not only finished out of the top four (I include myself now) but missed out on Europe, eventually finishing 9th. A truly awful season from the giants. Cups Taça de Portugal | 3rd Round A dodgy performance in this cup. Falling out at the first hurdle to Freamunde. This is the one piece of Portuguese silverware we're yet to get our hands on. League Cup | 3rd Phase Grp B Well, we made a pretty poor job of defending our crown. Still, three of these will do me for now! Europe Champions League | Best Placed Qualifying 3rd Round Well, we went in into the competition in the Best Placed Qualifying 3rd Round to face Feyenoord. We beat them at home, lost away and that was our competition over. Euro Cup | Group Stage After dropping out of the Champions League we ended up here. We got through the qualifying round and into the group. A win in our final group game against Vitesse would have seen us through, but we lost. Not much fun for our fans in Europe. Squad | Overview | There's going to be a bit of a clear out over the summer, going to try to get rid of the deadwood. 'Keepers Cabecinha - Been on the transfer list for a while now, I want to get rid of him, but there's no interest. Salvador Soto - One of the players to come out of this season with a great deal of credibility. Well on the way to becoming a top class 'keeper. Andjelko Krznar - Unfortunate to not play more. He's a good player, but didn't get a chance to displace Soto. Defenders Carlos - A talented player, but I'm getting rid at the end of the season, making a nice profit. He's done nothing wrong, but I think the squad needs some new blood to freshen things up, especially with another assault on Europe coming up. Matej Suchy - Young thing, he's been about for a while but he's suddenly had an attribute surge. Julián García - First choice partner for Descazals. He's got flaws, but he can do the job in Portugal, may need to be replaced if we are to conquer Europe, but not yet. Jens Scholz - Young German, arrived on a free. Didn't get much game time, I will be looking to move him on over the break. Meranah Descazals - Continues to improve. He's rapidly turning into a world class centre back. He can go all the way with us if he stays and we can get the right people around him. Mathieu Favreau - Good enough right back for now. I think he's one we might look to replace sooner or later, but he's not top priority. Ange Diaby - Very handy youngster and perfectly adequate back up for Osses. Christían Osses - A very useful player, got the left back role tied up for now. Any money I have won't need to be spent here. Not yet anyway. Midfielders John Agu - Part of my midfield quandary. I can't get my mind sorted on who should be playing here. Peters held the shirt for a lot of the time, but it wasn't until Derrien took it back that we picked up our form. Philippe Derrien - Something of a white knight this term. His return to the team coincided with our only decent patch of form. Paul Peters - The third of the deep-lying midfielders. He's technically the best, but just doesn't perform. Another I'm looking to get rid of this summer. Hopefully get a decent sum for him from a team who haven't noticed is poor form. Vadym Gai - Started the season in command of the shirt. Lost it to Yurkin, then Yurkin got sold and he took it back. A mixed bag of form, but some decent performances show the promise he most definitely has. Bartosz Goralski - Cheap back up after Thiago went. He didn't get much game time, but is useful to have around the place. Joffrey Fontaine - Thiago's replacement. I had high hopes for him, young and talented. As the season dragged on he started to live up to that. I think he could be a big player for me as he matures. Boris Grivicic - Brought in as part of how I planned to replace Leclerc. Despite some decent looking stats he didn't perform, we were at our worst when he was in the team. He is off to Denmark at the end of the season. Turning a nice profit on him. Andreas Jensen - The player who actually replaced Leclerc. He joined on a free and I set about training him to fit into the squad. When he started to pick up the basics he started getting into the squad and looked decent. More game time came as the season progressed and he finished it as undisputed first choice. Another player I think could do big things. Erik Jakus - Another season where he didn't get too much time on the pitch. I think it might be time for us to part company. Diego Fernández - Started to get a bit of time on the bench, and made it onto the pitch on occasion too. He's got potential to be a pretty decent player. Forwards Jorge Muñoz - His progress has stalled fairly heavily. I've got a decision to make, I either let him move on or give him some more time on the pitch to improve. How the team changes over the summer will seal his fate. Michael Mouritzen - An interesting player. Could fill a Totti role, but will need some consistent progress. Ivan Poljak - His goals rather dried up this season, a bit of tactical tinkering saw an improvement as the season drew to a close, but he'll have to get back to his best next season if we stand a chance in the Champions League. Ararat Vardazaryan - Some great attributes for a striker, there should be goals by the bag load in this lad, but he hasn't quite found his feet out here yet. Hopefully there will be more to come next season. Venizelos Chrysanthou - Another to find his prolific goal scoring record slightly tainted this season. He came good in the end, but it was his hardest season yet. Aims for this season were... 1/ Get first win in Champions League. Tricky, I won a game, but lost the tie and got no further in the competition. I'm going to class this as a fail. 2/ Maintain position in Portugal's top two. Check! Aims for next season are... 1/ Get first win in Champions League. 2/ Strengthen midfield. 3/ Maintain place in Portugal's top two. Story So Far...

PRDH Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 G-Wiz - I honestly felt like I was. The team looked thoroughly mediocre, it was only when it got to the final couple of games and players were issuing rallying calls that I realised I could still win it, I thought I was going to miss out on the Champions League. If you look at the squad shot you can see that most of my players had distinctly average/poor seasons with very few getting into the sevens. The number of times my assistant manager recommended telling the team that we were lucky, played badly and won was massive! el sid - Maybe, it didn't seem to help morale though. Hopefully the clear out I'm currently orchestrating will help that as there'll be fewer players who I've told will play sitting on the sidelines.

PRDH Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 In more general news, I'm very excited about this next player - Héctor Partida. He's only 15 but he appears to have the potential to be a superstar, he will be joining when he turns 18. Also, this has to be the most ludicrous Euro Cup final ever - Aston Villa 5 - 8 Man City!

rlipscombe Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 SV Waldhof Mannheim – German 2nd Division – Season 2015/16 Season Review League Finish: 3rd Graph The League Anyone have a sense of déjà vu?? Another Bundesliga season, another play-off final defeat… Hoffenheim 1 – 0 Mannheim Mannheim 2 – 2 Hoffenheim I am pretty down about it to be honest – the league was a lot closer and we were always in the title hunt. In fact, we actually went about 6 games at the start of the season withut conceding a goal and we flew at the start. Unfortunately we had a stumble around christmas and were then playing catch up. We went into the final game in 2nd place but we lost 2-1 away at St Pauli which demoted us to third and the play-off final. We battled valiantly in the two matches, but having almost half our team crippled in the second match, where we finished with 9 men due to injuries saw us face a 3rd season in Bundesliga II. German Cup in the German cup this year we managed to progress to the 3rd round following home wins against fierce rivals Karlsruhe (1-0) and Bundesliga side Freiburg (3-1). we came unstuck against Koln, losing 1-0. a marked improvement on our previous season. The Players Here’s a look at the players who saw us go so close again: (Top 5 players in my opinion in bold...) Transfers Squad 1 Squad 2 Goalkeepers 1. Tales - Tales became increasingly disillusioned as the season went on and I let him leave on loan in the winter. Likely to be sold as I cut my losses. 30. Niclas Heimann - Niclas again performed well during the season but maybe not as well as previously. Barring a major surprise he will again be our No.1 this coming season. 13. Jose Pedro - Jose is our Portugese understudy. Won’t ever set the world alight though and will never be first choice. Full Backs 22. Andreas Schroder - Andreas developed well this season and was a star at the back. Named fans player of the year. He is a major talent. 2. Segun Agba - the young Englishman was mainly an understudy this season. When called upon he disappointed. Starting to get a little unhappy, I may have to play him a little more. 5. Yordan Ivanov - Yordan started the season as 1st choice LB but lost his place due to injury and never got the shirt back from Yamac. 33. Sahin Yamac - Sahin became our LB after injury to Ivanov and did well in his first season. Plenty of room still to develop as well. Centre Backs 6. Osmar - Osmar was probably our star CB this season, consistently performing well and being a key member of our team. Hopefully he will stay around for a while yet. 44. Kostas Bantounas - Kostas did well for us in the first half of the season before being sold by our chairman to Panathianikos for £2.3 million in January. We need to find a replacement for him. 49. Ricardo Tavares - Ricardo was mainly a back up this season and struggled to break into the starting line up. Still young though. 15. Patrick Bauer - Patrick joined on loan in January from Stuttgart to fill the void of Bantounas and did pretty well all in. I will weigh up a bid for him in the summer. Midfielders 4. Matthew Perrett - the Welsh U21 captain was an understudy again but did a solid job when he played. With a year to go on his contract I have a decision to make on his future. 7. Nicolas Ruiz - Nicolas was one of our stars in his first full season. Always a threat down the right wing, he is a future star for sure. 14. Migen Toma - Migen did a solid job in his first season at the club. With some more time he could establish himself as a key player for us. 16. Ozgur Olgun - Ozgur had a season in and out of the season but has good potential still. Maybe one that would benefit from more starts to aid his development. 18. Marino Kresic - Marino joined in January for £675k to add quality to our midfield. Unfortunately he didn’t start as well as Hopkins and so was mainly used as a sub. Big season for him next season, his first at the club. 20. Sven Mende - Sven had a steady second season as a mainstay in the team but I am beginning to debate his future. That depends on what else is available. 23. Mark Mainwaring - Mark was mainly a sub again behind Landu but was solid again when he played. I am blessed with great potential on both flanks. 24. Craig Hopkins - Craig joined in January and became a key part of the team. He has a great future ahead of him and he will spearhead our promotion push next season. 27. Cabbas Kizildemir - Cabbas was a sub mainly this season but has massive potential for the future. With patience he can become a star man for the club. 43. Mert Acikgoz - Mert was very much a backup player this year due to the form of Ruiz. One with his future in the balance. 72. Jaud Nkusu Landu - Jaud was solid again this season and shaded Mainwaring in the battle for the LM slot. I am hoping for more from him next season. Strikers 9. Ivan Smodlaka - Ivan was the big money signing pre-season but failed to deliver. Was deeply unhappy at first and had a number of spells away from the club. Settled a little more now, he is another with a big season next year. 12. Nicolao Dumitru - Nicolao had another solid season and was just behind Hamdaoui in the race for the top goalscorer award. 25. Yassine Hamdaoui - Yassine had his turn as the top scorer for the club, mainly thanks to his form in the first half of the season where he was a goal a game at one point. Dried up a little in the run in though. 99. Gurami Enukidze - Gurami struggled a little this season and failed to hit the heights of the previous season. He needs a good season next year or he could be heading for the exit. 37. Ciaran Bradley - Ciaran got more of a run this season and even got his first goal for the club. Becoming more settled in the squad now. Finances Another season with a tidy profit made due to prize money. The club is getting stronger and we have just invested in improved training facilities after I got a bit tough in the boardroom. The Future Well in the end the season was an opportunity missed. As I expected the quality of the league wasn’t as great this season and we had a chance of promotion. Unfortunately we failed and we face our 3rd season in Bundesliga II. I set myself a three-year plan so the pressure is on for me to win promotion next season… Career History Season League Pos.

Almondo Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Peña Sport FC season review 2021/22 League, Past Positions, Finances, transfers League A good season for us but too many draws meant that 2nd was aways going to be the highest we could finish. Champions League Group Stage Home vs Man City, Away @ Shakhtar, Away @ A.C. milan Away @ Man City, Home vs Shakhtar, Home vs A.C. Milan No real surprise going out of the Champions League really what with the strong group we were drawn in. Europa League 1st Knockout round vs Roma - 4-1 aggregate win Scorers: (A) Cruz, Roland (H) Cruz, López 2nd Knockout round vs Real Madrid - 3-2 aggregate win Scorers: (H) Lopez (2) (A) Dumont Quarter Final vs Werder Bremen - 9-2 aggregate win Scorers: (A) Lopez (3), Alvarez (H) Alvarez (2), Uran, Lopez, Cruz, Semi Final vs Girondins Bordeaux - 3-2 aggregate win Scorers: (A) Allen (H) Cruz (2) Final vs Granada - 3-2 win after extra time Scorers: Lopez, Uran, Fusaro Well I didn't really think we'd get anywhere in this competition especially after drawing Roma and Real. However to win our first piece of European silverware is a great feeling. Cup 4th Round vs Real Union - 10-1 aggregate win Scorers: (A) Own Goal, Serderov, Duque, Cruz (2), Etxebarria (H) Dumont (3), Mustafaraj 5th Round vs Malaga - 6-0 aggregate win Scorers: (H) Fusaro, Dumont, Cruz (A) Fusaro, Uran, Own Goal, Quarter Final vs Real Madrid - 4-1 aggregate win Scorers: (A) Allen (H) Cruz, Millán, Own Goal Semi Final vs Villareal - 2-1 aggregate win Scorers: (H) Millán, (A) Dumont, Final vs Barcelona - 3-1 win Scorers: Own Goal, Amara, Cruz Well that was a surprise, I honestly expected that either Malaga or Real would put us out but once we got through Villareal it was a game anyone could win in the final. I just need to figure out how to get the cup win over Barcelona into league wins over them. Spanish super cup Lost 4-3 on aggregate A loss in the Super cup isn't the worst thing that can happen. Squad GK's Legros - Another good year for the Frenchman. Salz - Disappointingly spent a lot of time injured so played very little. Defenders Manangu - A good year for the right back. Fusaro - Cemented his position as a starting centreback with some great performances. Miguel - Played well with Fusaro and managed to keep Kverkvelia out of the side. Drachmann - Another decent year for the Dane. Kverkvelia - Played mainly as a back up but did perform well. Felipe - Not the best year and he will probably be released from his contract. Mustafaraj - A good year swapping time with Drachmann although he spent some time out injured. Midfielders Dumont - Has regained the starting spot down the right with some great performances. Amara - An expensice buy but one tat has worked well and will probably work well for a few years to come. Allen - Played well throughout the season but was swapping time with the other centre mids. Del Rio - Took the starting spot and proved that he deserved it with some good performances. Fabregas - Played well enough but he is really starting to decline, I may look into releasing him. Etxebarria - A good enough season from the home grown player but needs to step up a bit more. Lasa - Played well enough when he came into the side, he is still young and will probably get a lot better. Koke - Mainly a back up, sent him out on loan for the second half of the season. Alvarez - Played a fair few games on the left but has ended up as the back up to Dumont mainly, will look at shifting him to the left side to rotate with Del Rio. Roland - Lost his place to Del Rio. Was decent enough when he did play however. Bird - One for the future really but he has been quite good when used in the league. Strikers Cruz - Was pretty good but needed to score more goals. López - Our top scorer this season, he has played really well. Serderov - Not done as well as he could have done and may be moved on shortly. Millán - Was playing really well until his season ending Calf injury Uran - Came in as a young replacement for Weuts, he played really well once he got settled in the squad.

Welsh Wizard Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 End Of Season Update 2015/2016 League Table Graph Player Stats Cup Fixtures Cup Final A quite unbelievable season! Never thought we were in any shape to win the league or the cup. I do feel that this season could be a misleading one and won't think we will do anything like it unless we get better players. Don't think I'm underestimating the players but think our Def(mainly CBs) and GK made it happen with that great defensive record and they are the main players I think would be in a title winning side. Serious lack of goals which is mainly down to injuries to my STs mostly all out at same time which forced me to play a winger up top and even with the other STs fit it was Mikadze who was the main threat and miss around half a season in total. Don't think it was tactical. In the cup I think being home vs the better teams aided us. Rubin are nothing like they were and were total dominated the two Moscow sides were the hardest as we managed to win dispite being on the back foot most of the game. The final was quite even in chances but managed to take ours with the help of some rare goals from my CB. Transfers Squad Finances Facilities Shame to lose Igwe but he wanted to go and 6mil was a decent price in the situation we were in. Ndjock was similar. Very cheap players coming in but very happy with who came in. Hopefully with gain in rep and being in the champions league will allow us to attract more players and more players in my Russian shortlist are interested. Finances are looking very good and improvements to the Youth and Training facilities and even an increase for the stadium. Key Players Mexilhão - Formed a part of the best CB paring in the league. Valeriy Babenko - A beast in the air not many will win the battle for a header.
