PaulHartman71 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 we're now on level points with Avangard Podolsk, our recent form has been quite poor including a 2-0 loss to Avangard Podolsk, promotion is pretty unlikely as we have a tough run in.

leonavich Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just caught up, and this has been amazing. Good to see someone make it so far down the alphabet! Lets hope a J becomes available by the end of the season. Though if this Tycoon take over happens, It would be nice to hang around for a season longer. Build up a good squad, increase that reputation, then approach Juventus! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 @leonavich - thanks, Juventus would be great, hopefully the tycoon will eventually buy the club! Just a few days later and we're back on track! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I is for Irtysh Obviously we've now got a **** load of money in the bank, but at the start of the season we had virtually nothing and the transfers I made reflected this, only two guys brought in and one of them was a freebie. Overall the squad is pretty decent for this division but didn't deserve promotion, I will be using money I get next season to significantly improve the squad. I don't plan on using more than a few million though as I want to save the most of it for when/if we are promoted to the Premier Division, in-case the guy is tight and doesn't give us anymore cash.Due to the annoying 3 foreigner rule of the division I had to sign a new Goalkeeper, as I already had the Bulgarian defender Venkov, the Argentine midfielder Farias and the Ukrainian striker Shpak - I had to get in a Russian GK. None of the GK's that my scouts had found were that great and obviously at the time I had limited funds, Artem Demidov was the best I could find and he was okay, he will surely be replaced now we have big money. Alexandr Shevchenko was more than handy at right back this season. Gennady Golovin has been the first choice left back, he's not as good as Shevchenko but is still decent. Stanislav Venkov had another very good season in the middle of the defence. Alexandr Kuchin is decent enough although nowhere near the same quality as Venkov. Anantoly Taresenko had an okay season playing as a defensive midfielder. Victor Hugo Farias had a very good season on the right hand side, with 8 goals and 7 assists. Taras Batov had a pretty poor year on the left hand side, nowhere near as effective as Farias was. Artem Alborov did pretty well in the middle of midfield, 2 goals and 9 assists, although his passing ratio was pretty poor for a playmaker. Kiril Pavlov did decent up-front, 8 goals and 3 assists for the Russian. Mykhaylo Shpak had an unbelievable season, 5 assists and 24 goals in 37 games - he will be important next year if we are to be promoted. So yeah, I'll be staying for at least another year hoping to get promoted. One big annoyance is the 3 foreigners rule which means I can't just sign a **** load of cheapish South Americans and dominant things that way History ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season Club League Position Achievements ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009/10 Annagh United N.Irish 2nd Div 9th Joined in July 2010/11 Annagh United N.Irish 2nd Div 11th Screwed over by the board and sacked in April ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2011/12 Bradford Park Avenue Blue Square North 19th Joined in June 2012/13 Bradford Park Avenue Blue Square North 9th None 2013/14 Bradford Park Avenue Blue Square North 5th Promoted via play-off 2014/15 Bradford Park Avenue Blue Square Premier 1st Promoted as Champions, resigned in June ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2015/16 Casa Pia A.C Portuguese 2nd Div S 8th Joined in November 2016/17 Casa Pia A.C Portuguese 2nd Div C 1st Champions, Promoted via play-off, resigned in June ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017/18 Distillery N.Irish 1st Div 10th Joined in November 2018/19 Distillery N.Irish 1st Div 10th Sacked in January ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019/20 East Fife Scottish 3rd Div 10th Joined in May 2020/21 East Fife Scottish 3rd Div 3rd Lost in play-off semi final 2021/22 East Fife Scottish 3rd Div 1st Promoted as Champions 2022/23 East Fife Scottish 2nd Div 1st Promoted as Champions 2023/24 East Fife Scottish 1st Div 5th Resigned in June ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2024 Fana Idrettslag Norwegian 2nd Div 3 7th Joined in July 2025 Fana Idrettslag Norwegian 2nd Div 3 4th None 2026 Fana Idrettslag Norwegian 2nd Div 3 1st Promoted as Champions, Resigned in October ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2026/27 Gallipoli Calcio Italian Serie C2/C 8th Joined in October 2027/28 Gallipoli Calcio Italian Serie C2/C 1st Promoted as Champions, Serie C2 Super Cup winner, Resigned in June ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2028/29 HFC Haarlem Jupiler League 8th Lost in 3rd round of play-off 2029/30 HFC Haarlem Jupiler League 4th Lost in 2nd round of play-off 2030/31 HFC Haarlem Jupiler League 6th Promoted via play-offs 2031/32 HFC Haarlem Eredivisie 11th Resigned in July ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2032 Irtysh Omsk Russian 1st Div 15th Joined in July 2033 Irtysh Omsk Russian 1st Div 7th None Trophy Cabinet Bradford Park Avenue - Blue Square Premier x1 - 2014/15 Casa Pia - Portuguese 2nd Div C x1 - 2016/17 East Fife - Scottish 3rd Div x1 - 2021/22 - Scottish 2nd Div x1 - 2022/23 Fana Idrettslag - Norwegian 2nd Div 3 x1 - 2026 Gallipoli Calcio - Italian Serie C2/C x1 - 2027/28 - Italian Serie C2 Super Cup x1 - 2027/28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah so a poor 8 points from 6 games has seen promotion all but gone from our hands, it is still technically possible but is extremely unlikely. Hopefully the board give me another chance and don't sack me! Thinks are looking much better than after 10 games but the pressure on your side must be immense now. Yeah they bottled it at the end, it was Spurs-esque! There are any J options for move on available at the moment? Nope. All at least stable Your progression in this part of the season has been great. If you can hold this throughout an entire season, you should be able to break those higher clubs. Unfortunately doesn't look like that will happen despite the decent comeback we had! Good Work there Paul, just outside that top grouping, keep up the pressure and make the board happy again.The money clearly didn't help to settle the club, good work getting the team blended and keeping your job, are you looking for "J" Jobs now? Bringing in as many players as I did probably did more harm than good at the start of the season, there were quite a few complaints of poor harmony throughout the season so far, I am guessing that is part of the reason we played poorly. I am looking for 'J' jobs, there just isn't any out there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
