You know what really grinds my gears? When people say pacifically when they mean specifically - An Oceanic Journeyman

Meek looks amazing! Excellent personality as well. 

And you're right, all your league losses are coming when you aren't on TV; get on the blower to the NZ FA, see if you can sort out an "arrangement"...

Really enjoying following this, can't wait to see you beat Real Madrid

I love the idea of "poor" data analysis facilities.

I envision some guy in the back of a rusted-out '84 Honda Civic that doubles as his apartment, working feverishly on a TI-84 graphing calculator while slurping his 3rd 64oz bottle of Mountain Dew of the afternoon.

I was reading this and I immediately thought of Seth Rogen. No offense, I think Seth Rogen is the best comedic actor out there. But still. Seth Rogen.

It'll be a bit like San Marino, the league and O-League will become formality, just the Club World Cup and the struggle to progress.

January 2028

Disappointing against Tasman but what results against Team Wellington and Phoenix Reserves!!

Bob Hendry returns to Scotland so in comes Seo Sung-Ryong.

 

[ManUtd1]

Solid work being done in here, as always.  Shame that Tottenham didn't Tottenham it 

[yatesiboi37]

Been following this story from the shadows and must say, I am really enjoying it! Is really fun to watch people playing in the obscure leagues - I have always been a fan of claassen's updates!

Who are the best New Zealand regens in their national team nowadays?

[shaunvamos]

Sung-Reong looks incredible, the only thing he doesn't look is Korean 😂

[TIR669]

A million pounds for 10 days round-trip in Tunisia!?

It's a shame, we definitely aren't anywhere near their level though and we did amazingly well to get as far as we did.

Perfect month, really hope we don't balls up the playoffs! 

Here's the O-League groups.

And how we're doing in ours.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2028

We face Hamilton Wanderers in the Playoff Semi Final and Vanuatuan side Tafea in the O-League Semi Final.

And the next match will be my 300th as a manager!

2028/29 Pre-Season

Perfect pre-season.

Win the league.

2 in, 2 out, 0 shaking it all about.

Igor starts as 4th choice CB and Craig is 3rd choice ST.

Brent Wilkinson is down to win another best player award except he won't be here much longer, his contract is up at the end of the season and he won't sign a new one and he's handed in a transfer request.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2028

Disappointing draw away to Hawke's Bay but solid Charity Cup win and victory over Tasman as well.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2028

3 big wins in November  

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2028

    

An amazing showing in the Club World Cup as we made it all the way to the final!

Hopefully the finances last long enough for these to not be cancelled! 

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2029

Our first league loss since March 10th 2027.

We lost Brent.

The 3rd most expensive Oceanic transfer so far.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2029

100 Auckland games!

Just the 2 league games left and I think Phoenix Reserves are having their worst ever season!

Really easy O-League group.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

2028/29 Youth Candidates

Quite a poor group.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2029

Dominant in the O-League and we meet an old club of mine in the Semi Final, AS Manu Ura, Amicale also qualify which is great!

We scored a lot of goals and obviously we're expected to win.

4 players in, I have no clue why almost all of our players are being brought in from Croatia.

Another Charity Cup win and an easy enough start to the league campaign.

Solid enough again and we're a point clear.

December 2029

   

Another very good showing in the Club World Cup but the prize money still wasn't enough to get us out of the red.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2030

Another draw against Hamilton Wanderers  

One player in on loan.

February 2030

Finally a perfect month  

3  of my old clubs are in the group stage!

2029/30 Youth Candidates

Not a good intake other than Kwanele.

March 2030

Unbeaten league campaign and we're easily into the O-League Semi Final where we'll face AS Dragon.
