SRL88 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 How long does it take you to set your heart on something? Well a whole day apparently in the FM world. I am finally coming into this thinking 'you know what, I am looking forward to this'. The club I have decided upon is Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE. They play in the Nemzeti Bajnokság II (Hungarian Second Division East) which is the lowest playable league (alongside the West Division) in Hungary on Football Manager 2013. Name: Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nickname: Violets Founded: 1912 Stadium: Stadion Kórház utcai (10,432 - 3,432 seated) My Save Leagues Loaded ------------------------------------------------ | Hungary | Nemzeti Bajnokság II - Playable | ------------------------------------------------ | England | League Two - View Only | | Spain | Liga Adalante - View Only | ------------------------------------------------ This is a Youth Project Challenge and the rules I have set myself are: I am not allowed to sign ANY players I can bring in my own backroom staff at first, but once I have brought them all in I can't sign anymore and their replacements have to be people who were my former players. I must try and sell every player over the age of 25 in my first season. If I can't sell them, they will stay until I can release them, or their contracts expire This is a one club save. I will not be leaving at any point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why thank you Club? God knows. Kit and badge stood out I suppose. League? I looked throughout all the European leagues at which ones had never had a club in the European Cup Final ever. That was a few and I narrowed it down to three. Out of those three, Hungary was the nation I fancied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Woah, this should be nice. I really quite fancy the idea of a youth challenge in Hungary, recapturing the Mighty Magiars spirit and all that - in fact, managing in Hungary is high on my FM to-do list. This should be particularly interesting because you've been mega successful in your previous careers, but IIRC you don't tend to stay long for a club and tend to get your big trophies once you've moved on to big clubs. This is the total opposite of that, it's a very difficult place to do a youth challenge in, with the Hungarian league being so far back in Europe. It is going to take a hell of a lot of time and patience. So I am looking forward to see you being tested out in such different and tough circumstances. I'll certainly be a follower.

The longest I have stayed at one club was on FM12 when I was at Liverpool for 9 seasons. I have had one club saves in the past, but only when I am someone like Hoffenheim. This is massively different. The other two sides I started as (and yes, created threads) I just didn't have the heart for. This is completely different and out of my comfort zone.

Good luck, should be a good thread, I'm really hoping that one day in the future you'll get the national job as well. Cheers dude. I certainly think as the save goes on and I see any of the Hungarian jobs come up, I will probably apply. Shame you couldn't get your old save up and running again but a youth project is always interesting to follow, best of luck in Hungary. Yeah it was a shame, but time to look forward. Good luck with the youth challenge I've never had the patience to try it out, so it will be interesting watching how you go about it! I have to say that I said at the beginning of FM13 that I wouldn't do one as I enjoyed signing players too much, but we all change. Good luck, should be a very interesting challenge, any plans of taking over the national team aswell and bring it back to its former success? As quoted on AcidBurn, I probably will if the opportunity arises. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 SRL88's Career - August 2012 - Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nemzeti Bajnokság II A very pleasing start to the campaign as we get off to a winning start. We played really well in the game and looked a threat throughout. We took the lead in the game but threw it away almost instantly, although we did manage to retake the lead before the break. The second half was tense because even though we had chances, the lead was slender. With just less than 20 minutes remaining we added a third which sealed the game for us. Magyar Kupa 2nd Round A difficult game against non-league opposition who gave us a few frights. Both sides had chances but were unable to take them as the match went to penalties. After 9 spot kicks each it was us who held our nerves to win a penalty shootout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 SRL88's Career - September 2012 - Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nemzeti Bajnokság II On reflection I am really pleased with this month. We lost our first game of the season, although it was only our second match of the campaign. We bounced back with a very hard fought win at home to Ujpest. The first hour really did look like there wasn't going to be a winner but we broke the deadlock and held on for the 3pts. A very solid win followed on our travels before another hard fought game which resulted in a 1-0 win for our third win in a row. The month rounded off rather disappointingly with a subdued performance at home to Balmazujvaros as we fell to a 2-1 defeat. Magyar Kupar 3rd Round A disappointing defeat I must say, but we played the majority of the game with ten men. We fell behind just after losing a man but leveled just before the half hour mark. As the match looked to be going to extra time we conceded to fall to a 2-1 defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Teams can no longer be in the 2nd division so are automatically relegated no matter where they finish. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 SRL88's Career - October 2012 - Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nemzeti Bajnokság II A cracking month to bring us right up in the chase after ten games. This was a very difficult month as every team we faced were ahead of us at the time. We kicked the month off with a solid draw away to Putnok with Adam Viczian (YP1) giving us the lead in the game. Unfortunately we were unable to hold on. Another difficult fixture followed and with the game poised at 1-1 and both sides having the chance to get the win, we scored from a corner in injury time to give us three points. We put in a very 'Jekyll and Hyde' performance against Cegled. We were brilliant in the first half as we took a 3-0 lead going into the interval, but a very poor second half display nearly threw that away but we hung on for another win. The month rounded off with a massive win at home to league leaders Szeged who could have opened up a 6pt lead over us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 SRL88's Career - November 2012 - Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nemzeti Bajnokság II Another very solid month as we once again faced some very difficult fixtures, especially on our travels. Two 0-0 draws started the month off as we put in an excellent defensive display in each game, but that is not to say we weren't an attacking threat. Both sides had their chances but we cancelled each other out. We followed these two draws up with a solid win at home to Vac. We took a very early lead in the game but made things a lot harder for ourselves as we failed to seal the game. That was until very late on when Adam Viczian (YP1) sealed the game with a poachers effort. The month rounded off with a very solid win at home to Kazincbarcika. This was another game where we took an early lead before Viczian (YP1) found himself on the scoresheet again with a double in three minutes before half time. Although we conceded in the second period we were rarely troubled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty tough game, but managed to battle our way to victory. An excellent strike from outside of the area by Norbert Varga gave us the three points to leave us sat three points off leaders Nyiregyhaza at the halfway mark. We don't face a game now until the 2nd of March 2013 so we have a nice break until we face our next opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Youth Intake 2012/13 Those who stand-out: Bela Gyomber - The youngest of the bunch. Could have a bright future ahead of him. Zsolt Nanasi - A solid looking defender. His high determination will be a massive bonus for tutoring. Andras Dlusztus - Another striker in the youth intake. I think he lacks strength though. Peter Kalmar - The best player to come through this season. He definitely is going to be here for the long haul I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter_Morgan Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Looks a 2 way battle for the title already Glad you got your youth coaching done increased pretty early, I really do think it's worth the loss of money you may have in the short term for the long term benefits of it, especially in a save where your own intake is what you are reliant on.

At the moment it is yeah. Completely agree on the junior coaching. It is vastly needed for the future of the club.

SRL88 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 SRL88's Career - March 2013 - Békéscsaba 1912 Elore SE Nemzeti Bajnokság II We're on a really long unbeaten run, but draws are costing us dearly. The month started with a game which swung this way and that on more than one occasion. Both sides took the lead, then were pegged back as the game went both ways. In the end though, we found the decisive goal in the 82nd minute to give us the three points. We followed it up with a disappointing draw, especially when you take into account that we were two goals up very early on. We got back to winning ways with a comfortable win over Ferencvaros II before two draws which have left things looking very difficult for us. We took the lead in both games through Adam Viczian (YP1) and just as it looked like we were heading for three points in both games, we let our opponents back into the game by conceding sloppy goals. We did end the month with a win where we once again allowed a 1-0 lead to slip but fought on to grab in important win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
