dafuge Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Bourneview Young Men - Carling Premiership - 2028/29 Things had been going superbly as we continued to make progress in Europe and dominated domestically. League Table This was the only improvement possible on last season, we absolutely smashed the league. More interestingly though, Linfield seemed reinvigorated under new manager Jonny Evans, making the Europa League group stage and managing three draws from the six games. Mid-Ulster Cup - even with fielding my weakest team I won this with ease. Irish League Cup - it was the same story with this one. Sorry Nep. Irish Cup - this was a huge win as Linfield made a great attempt to steal our crown. Setanta Cup - this win over our rivals was a bit more convincing. UEFA Champions League Qualifier - I'm not quite sure why we entered at this stage, but this first leg win settled the tie. We won the second leg 4-2. Group Stage - it was just Juventus that took points off us as we topped the group. 1st knockout round - we recovered from a 2-1 away defeat, but it was damn close. Quarter final - after a 2-0 home win, we sealed the win in this fiery match. Semi final - after a 1-0 away loss the game was in the balance, but a dramatic winner sealed the win seconds before it went to penalties. Final - things looked bleak after the early goal, but the sending off gave us hope. Minutes before defeat, our star striker popped up to send it to extra time where he grabbed the winner before missing a penalty that turned out to be irrelevant. Squad - I've managed to keep a great squad together for a while, but the contract situation means I will have to sell a number of key players. Transfers - there wasn't much action, but the big news was that I managed to get work permits for a couple of signings. Key Player Profiles: Dejan Vukojevic - he wants to leave, but he's still a legend. Alexandru Vlad - a superb stand in for Vuko, but his contract is up soon. Levent Fil - another superb season, but another player who may leave soon. Emanuel Granata - had a great year filling in the AMC role. Habib Nwankpa - the second player who managed to win a work permit, and well worth it.

Over the next two or three years there are a number of key contracts expiring, so the squad will need to be rebuilt yet again. With the new ability to gain a work permit once in a blue moon, there is hope that I can can rebuild this squad, but only time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Bourneview - Werder Bremen 9:1. Words fail to describe this result. How did Ojeda do since his January arrival? After I had agreed a deal to sign him he got injured for five months with a hip injury. When he finally returned he sprained an ankle on his debut, missing another four weeks. He eventually made seven appearances without really setting the world on fire. Hopefully this season I can get him a bit more involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugo23 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Now that you have won Champions League, maybe you could buy some fringe players from other NI clubs for couple of millions, to help them progress? In a way they would become your feeder clubs. Unless you consider that cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have considered that, but I'd really like the other NI clubs to be able to progress without any input from me at all. Until now they have been pretty pathetic but with Linfield in the group stage of the CL there is a chance they will kick on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Something like this bugs me abit, you have a stadium of around 13,000 and probably sell out every European match but in the Final of the CL you and Madrid sell out 90,000. I assume every final is a sell out on FM but I'm not to sure you'd get around 40,000 Bournview fans going to the CL final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Bourneview Young Men - Carling Premiership - 2029/30 Things couldn't get any better than last season. League Table We did the clean sweep, in even more emphatic fashion that last season. Domestic Cups - we won them all as usual, I'm going to cut the separate screenshots from now onwards. UEFA Super Cup - it took extra time, but we took the win we deserved. FIFA Club World Cup - absolutely gutted, the was the win I needed to remove the ? from the thread title. UEFA Champions League - no problems in the group stage, but after beating Manchester United we lost out on away goals to Porto in the quarter finals. Squad - as you can see by the values, things have really moved forward at this club. This really is starting to feel like a big club. Transfers - we still made a profit, but this was a huge transfer window for us. This sort of spending was unheard of for our club. Key Player Profiles: Dejan Vukojevic - he missed a lot of games through injury, but the big news was the signing of a huge new contract. Edson - one of a number of new strikers who were signed to replace Vuko. Teté - a great return from the midfielder, but he will probably be sold soon. Ricardo - another great striker. Tony Okeke - one of the recent work permit winners.
