Sean3h Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm being targeted by a tycoon for a takeover apparently. Despite my old board deciding to build me a nice 8.25m stadium (not sure where they got the money from) they got me a -10 point deduction in the BSP. I have hardly any players (wasn't able to renegotiate with my old ones in time) so I've got a bunch of my useless youth players filling in for the few senior players I have left. Fingers crossed this tycoon takeover goes through! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidwell93 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Congratulations Padders! Here's a celebratory picture which I think you'll agree sums up the emotions of the situation perfectly.

ElSmurfo Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ElSmurfo - Buxton - Blue Square Bet North - 2013/14 3rd Place (Promoted) League - Past Positions A quite incredible start to my time at the Bucks! Tipped to come 22nd, I quickly set about bringing in a whole new team (which tends to be my philosophy in this challenge!). The new lads brought me some decent results early, which opened up the loan market and allowed me to bring in some superstars at BSN level. The additions of Gibbons and Buxton around Christmas/New Year in particular were the tipping point, which saw us take 28 points from our last 10 games of the season. A finish of 3rd was just what we deserved! Unfortunately, not thinking I'd even make the playoffs, I didn't extend the length of a few of those key short-term loans, so I lost my AMC, AMR, and lone striker before the semis. Add to that month-long injuries to my 2nd and 3rd strikers and I was limping into the playoffs at best! Form and morale kept us going though, and we won a tight away leg to bogey team Southport 1-0. The reverse leg was an absolute heart-stopper. We found ourselves uncharacteristically losing heading into the final 10 minutes of the game, before that man Gibbons popped up with an equaliser. I was already celebrating a win when in a series of comical (read: infuriating) errors saw us concede a soft own-goal just minutes before the final whistle. A tight goalless extra-time gave way to the dreaded penalties, during which we were always chasing. They had two chances to win but couldn't take either, and, amazingly, with the 9th penalty kick, we won it! An away Final wasn't nearly as tricky or exciting, and we dominated to take a nice 2-1 win and promotion to the BSP! Top goalscorer: Kyle Nix (AMC) - 50 games, 14 goals, 12 assists Most assists: Shaquille Hunter (AML - loan) - 43 games, 6 goals, 13 assists Highest rating: Adam Watts (DC) - 50 games, 8 MoM, 7.41 rating Next Season We're broke, so my wage budget hasn't improved at all. Winning promotion didn't do much for our club's appeal either. While our reputation improved, it's still just half a star and by far the worst in the BSP (worse than most BSN/BSS clubs too). This means that the player pool hasn't really expanded for us, so I'm struggling to find a decent squad for the new season. Hopefully I can hold it together for a few months and raid the Christmas loan market again, but I'm not expecting successive promotions at this rate. My goals are: Consolidation in BSP Increased revenues Season League Position FA Cup League Cup JP Trophy FA Trophy Europe Achievments ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013/14 Blue Square Bet North 3rd 3rd Qual N/A N/A 1st Rd N/A Promoted!

Padders Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well, I finally did it, after 10 years in the Blue Square South and 10 in the the Blue Square Premier I have finally got myself into the Football League "proper". As mentioned above, I changed formation to a simple 4-4-2. I really should have done it earlier. Oh well, it has been great fun in the mean time. I won the league with 97 points and we were top from 24th game and never looked back. We lost 5 games all season. 2 of them in the last 4 games which was a bit annoying! I was on a 30 games unbeaten run and my 1,000th game in charge and lost to Leyton Orient! What a great way to celebrate my 1,000th game in! We also won the FA Trophy which was a nice little tonic. I've got a reasonably young squad, and a couple of players that I are hoping will become real stars, if I can keep them! In the pre season my board decided to extend the stadium by 977 seats! Not sure why, I wasn't exactly filling it the the BSP. I started the new season in League late last night, played 14 games, won 7 drawn 4 and lost 3. Currently sitting 3rd in the table, 3 points off top. I got thumped 5-1 away at Doncaster (Championship) in the first round of the Carling Cup.

Rashidi Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 STAFFORD RANGERS Champions! With 4 matches to go Stafford stepped in front of their home fans for their match against Notts County. The press were still printing the same ol story: Notts County to beat Rangers. Someone keeps failing to remind my players they should lose. Saul Halpin singlehandedly stripped County of any semblance of dignity as he scored 4 goals and to cap that performance, Coventry the closest challengers to the title found themselves wanting away, as they lost. The party has started on the Moors, as Stafford claim yet another unexpected promotion, their manager is off on another holiday. You can expect the team to be drunk for their next three matches. Hopefully the assman can maintain their unbeaten home record this season. One more division and we can smell the premiership. My central defender Daniel Boateng snagged 14 MoM awards woah!. We have finished the season as champions losing one away match but maintaining our 100% home record. We never lost a home game the whole season.

League Table Past Positions After a slow start in the first few games, the team really kicked into a higher gear and we flew up to the top of the table. From that point on, we only dropped off the top spot once for one game. FA Cup - Reached the 3rd round, where we lost against Blackburn. Capital One Cup - For the second season in a row, we went out in the 1st round. This time it was Bolton who destroyed us. Johnstone's Paint Trophy - One step further than the previous season, but still not great. Squad Transfers - Plenty of ins and outs, and with cash to spend I was able to improve the team a lot. Finances - Money!!! Key Players Phil Airey -Airey picked up from where he left off the previous season. He scored loads, but got sent off a few times for diving. Darrell Gibbons - A striker with a great future ahead of him. He rotated in and out of the team, and did a pretty good job in a supporting role. Richie Maguire - Maguire once again had a great season in the center of midfield. Charni Ekangamene - Did a great job from a wing back position, defending well and also bagging and creating some goals. Awards Wheato's Player of the Season - Phil Airey - Even after being sent off three times, Airey has to be my choice for player of the season. Aims For Next Season Survival! I want to establish the squad in League One. Anywhere in the table other than the relegation places will be great. I want to do much better in all the cups. Other News As if the previous seasons transfer and wage budgets weren't big enough, the coming seasons initial budgets are massive! Training facilities and youth level upgraded, at a large cost.

Sean3h Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Really struggling this season. I'm in the BSP and despite having a new chairman who has injected £18m into the club, I find myself bottom of the table on -6 points after 10 games and struggling for players. I'm unable to stick with a constant formation due to how thin my squad is. I'm starting to think that dropping back down to the BSN & rebuilding there is a good idea.

Dons Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Season Update 2028/29 St. Neots Town Premier Division Profile - Table - Graph - Squad - Finances - Transfers - Board Overview An extremely good season which saw us finishing second in the league, just after league unbeatable Man Utd. Having tried to get board to upgrade the stadium, there has been no luck so far. We are currently ranked as the 11th best team in Europe, this however, seems to suffice the board with our current 12.5k stadium (sigh) Was given a tempting offer from Man City. The joys of the season has to be cups we entered, with 2 wins in the CC cup and runner-up in the LC. Cups: League Cup - 2-1 loss in the final to Man Utd. FA Cup - 4-0 win vs Reading Champions Cup - The road to glory and 7 players in the Dream Team. Group G overview. 1st round - Inter - 2-1 home win and 3-2 away win (no idea why the cups screenshot shows that one as being lost) Q Final - Man Utd (finally got a revenge on them!) 2-1 home win and 3-2 away win (was up 3-0 and almost crying when they hit 3-2, was sure they would beat us) S Final - Real Madrid - 0-0 away and 3-0 home win. Final - 2-0 win vs Liverpool. Player awards: Krunoslav Mance - Golden Glove 15 clean sheets in league (27 overall) Players of this season: Mance - was one of the main reasons, we had the best defensive in record in the league. Donald - Really happy with him, and he is surely starting to repay on the 21 mills he cost us a few seasons back. Douglas - Turning into a great player, and will soon become england national regular. Pereia - Our rock in the defense! Martinez - Released in 2026 from Real Madrid, he has had a few minor seasons for us, but after selling our other DC regular, he really has liven up to the hopes i have for him. Garcia - stats wise, he should be our 4th choice in the offense, but he has been impressive with his goal scoring. and finally Pat Miller - Struggled with some injuries this season and currently suffering a 4 month injury (injured twice during internationals this season and this was one of them) still 40 goals in 45 matches. As other players in this thread, I am hoping for the board to build a new stadium - besides that I am really happy with the team and expect to be challenging for the title!

Then, in the 4th qualifying round away tie vs Redbridge, Disaster! Injuries! Both Blackwell and Nyafli, my first two choice forwards, injured in the same game, for 6 and 3 months respectively.

League Table League Positions Graph With life overrunning me I had to lay Whitehawk aside for a while and i can't say i really remember how the season started cause there where only a few games left of the 2nd season when I got time to pick it up again. Towards the end atleast I was barely hanging on to the playoff position. Started first playoff game going 3-0 down in first half but managed to claw two back, and win the 2nd leg with 1-0. Going to penalties I was rather pessimistic seeing as my entire team is pretty much kids with oldest player on the field being 22. They somehow put all 5 though and we where trough. Then my player of the season got a virus and the other went off on international duty before the playoff final! so i played my backup striker and and AMC instead! and won 2-0.. League 2 here we come! FA Trophy - Didn't care, rotated FA Cup - Didn't care, rotated Squad - Pretty satisfied with my squad atm, hopefully some of them can grow with the team! Transfers - Got alot of really talented players and got rid of a few players (not all by choice! couldn't afford my Tommy Fraser wage demands!) Finances - Still look terrible no? Key Player Profiles: Shaun Craig - Key passes.. twice as much as next person on the list even with his injury prone ways Giorgos Efthymiou - Top scorer, 26 goals and most PoM Marcus Tolley - Highest average and 2nd most goals with 23 Matty White - Most played along with the goalkeeper!

arnarth Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Carshalton Athletic FC The Robins Season 2013/2014 Transfers | League Table So, I got promoted from the BSS in the first attempt, which I didn't expect. Secured the last playoffs spot on the final day of the regular season after having a great run towards the end of the season. Faced my rivals, Sutton United in the semi finals, lost the first game 2-3 at home and then won the second leg 1-4 away. Which was brilliant. Then something magnificent happened. Beat Dover 1-7 at their home ground in the Playoffs Final, and secured my place in the BSP for the next season Key Players Interestingly, my 3 best players of the season were all at the club when I took over. Johnny Cosgrove - He was extremely clinical in front of the goal this season. 35 goals overall and 19 assists as well. He has a bit of pace, and likes to knock the ball past defenders. Ola Sogbanmu - Sogbanmu is my target man. He has a physical presence that the BSS defenders found hard to cope with. And scored a surprising amount of goals. Ashley Carew - My midfield maestro and playmaker. He had a good season, and also captained the team (although he isn't really a leader).

Bonzo1 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 MARINE Season 6 Review - 2018-19 - Blue Square Bet Premier League Table - Past Positions - Fixtures 1 - Fixtures 2 - Cups An excellent and stable season. After bringing in another good forward in the summer and losing nearly all of my wide midfielders I decided to go 4-3-3 to get the best out of my better players. It worked surprisingly well and I ended up finishing much higher than i had hoped and had a few nice cup runs and ended the year comfortably in the black. However we continued our poor playoff record with one promotion in 4 playoff attempts. Finances - Transfers - Squad - Confidence Key Players Ibrahim Keita - Top scorer. Not as effective as last year played on the right of the front 3 and was still prolific enough but the other forwards helped out much more than I expected. Bradley Saxton - Second top scorer. Excellent all season, created many chances and scored a fair few aswell. Mark Binns - Another effective season at centre back. Formed a really good partnership with Stewart Craig Stewart - A wonderful debut season. Player of the year for me.

Intrigue Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wealdstone - 2018/19 - League Two League Table Past Positions Capital One Cup JPT FA Cup A quite remarkable season where not only did we briefly challenge for the title, we went on a couple of amazing cup runs. We reached the 6th round of the FA Cup, beating Watford, Sunderland and Reading along the way before falling to West Brom. We were so close to the JPT Final too, having hosted AFC Wimbledon and beating them 2-0 at home, we went to their place and they romped home with a 3-0 win. Finances Transfers Squad(1) Squad(2) Confidence Key Players Jason Spratt - More than worth the 5k we spent to bring him over from Shamrock, this guy was our star player. 35 goals in 52 appearances is an amazing return and he did brilliantly in his debut season at the club. Owen Mulcahy - Spratt's partner in crime up front, the on-loan Charlton lad also helped the club score, with 24 in 45 games. I will have to see about if he'll be up to League One quality before I try to bring him back. Ollie Banks - A tough tackling midfielder who's been at the club for 3 seasons now, he did excellently in breaking up opposition attacks. Next Season Survival has to be the main aim again, and I'd love a couple more cup runs similar to what I had this season.

4ndyMUFC Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Barclays Premier league 1st season and survival has been achieved with 2 games to go, only managed a 1-1 draw with Norwich who equalised from a corner with a few minutes left was enough to ensure a second season in Premier league after QPR and Charlton both lost who we were in a fight with for the last 2 relegation places means 7 points clear of relegation spots with only 6 points to play for, now to try and win last 2 games against lesser teams in league to get extra £500,000 for each higher place in prize money, can finish anywhere between current 16th place and 12th dependent on results which equates to upto a possible £2,000,000 extra prize money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4ndyMUFC Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 4ndyMUFC - AFC Fylde - Barclays Premier League - 2022/23 - Season 10 Squad - Transfers 1 2 - Player of the Year - Table - Graph - Finances - Manager Profile Our first season in Barclays Premier League started okay with the team winning 3 of the first 7 games so i thought everything looked good for a easy season with us comfortably avoiding relegation, but how wrong i was as we won just 1 and drew 2 of the next 13 games which saw us well in the relegation dogfight. During this period i decided to change my tactic slightly and this saw an improvement in the team winning 5 of the next 7 games leaving about 12 points from the magic number of points i believed would keep us in the Premier league with 11 games to play, and as my earlier post said we achieved survival with 2 games to spare with us only having 39 points at the time 4 points below that magic number i had in mind at start of season, we then went on to win the last 2 games of the season to finish in 12th with 45 points. Just looking at this season's table means the safety line next year could be as little as 35 points to guranette survival but i have already planned for 50 points and if we can get that with games to spare may push for a Europa League place, if not this way then may be through a cup run as got to 5th round of FA Cup taking Liverpool to a replay at Anfield losing 1-0 AET. Plans for next season: 1) Improve squad in a couple of positions if better players are avaliable at the right price 2) Avoid relegation 3) Push for European qualification if possible 4) Improve youth facilities with money we have made to bring through better quality Youth team players 5) Stay within wage budget again if possible for whole season to improve finances further and therefore enable future upgrades of club facilities with having to take out bank loans for the work 6) Have a good cup run and try to reach Final of Capital One Cup as top teams are still putting out reserves and youth players in early rounds so hopefully a few get knocked out early Season Division Pos Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013/14 Blue Square North 4th Promoted via Playoffs, FA Trophy 1st Round 2014/15 Blue Square Prem 11th FA Cup 3rd Round, FA Trophy 1st Round 2015/16 Blue Square Prem 1st League Champions, FA Cup 3rd Round, FA Trophy 1st Round 2016/17 npower League 2 18th Capital One Cup 2nd Round, JPT North 1st Round, FA Cup 2nd Round 2017/18 npower League 2 7th Promoted via Playoffs, Capital One Cup 1st Round, JPT North 1st Round, FA Cup 4th Round 2018/19 npower League 1 16th Capital One Cup 1st Round, FA Cup 1st Round, JPT North 2nd Round 2019/20 npower League 1 5th Promoted via Playoffs, Capital One Cup 2nd Round, JPT North 2nd Round, FA Cup 4th Round 2020/21 npower Championship 10th Capital One Cup 2nd Round, FA Cup 3rd Round 2021/22 npower Championship 3rd Promoted via Playoffs, Capital One Cup 2nd Round, FA Cup 6th Round [font=&]2022/23 Barclays Premier League 12th Survival, Capital One Cup 2nd Round, FA Cup 5th Round[/font] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Looks like my new formation and tatics is a real winner. I have won League Two, first time of asking. I won the league with 4 games to go and finished with 96 points. A bit annoyed I didn't get 100 points as I only won 1 out of the last 4 game. I was top after 23 games and didn't get knocked off. Here is my squad My best player at the top of the squad list is Byron Clarke. He is only 21, finished with an average of 7.47 and 25 goals in 35 games. He missed chunks of the season due to injury. He was a free transfer a couple of years ago. Was one of the players in the England Under 20's, although now he was been capped at Welsh Under 21's level. He is worth £2.4m which seems quite a lot for a League Two player. Need to keep hold of him Was overly excited by this guy my scout found in pre season Chris Phelan who plays for Inverness CT. I played a few weeks of the pre season to see if my board gave me any transfer budget. He is only worth 130k. Sheffield Wednesday then make a bid of £7m!!!
