Makoto Nakamura Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Asian football has exploded in the last couple of decades or so, in my not so great opinion it started when Gary Lineker went to Japan, then when big bucks started arriving in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the more recent megabucks in going to China. In this save I'll be starting as a Bhutanese manager, managing in Bhutan and following the scent of money as I hop from club to club going for more and more money until I reach the top and create a legacy...or get sacked and go to the next highest bidder! Why am I Bhutanese? Well, I wanted my manager nationality to have the lowest reputation and whilst Northern Mariana has the lowest reputation they also aren't FIFA affiliated and don't qualify for continental competition so Bhutan was the next worst on the list. 97 leagues loaded ranging from Japan to the Northern Mariana Islands. Just a kid from Bumthang. I already have my first job, and we're looking for some High Quality amateur football! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 High Quality United F.C. is a football club from Thimphu, Bhutan who competes in the Thimphu League. High Quality United first appeared in the 2017 Thimphu League, in which they won 6 games, lost 7, and drew once against Bhutan U-19s with a score of 0–0. They finished their inaugural season in 5th. As they did not place in the top 3, they did not qualify to the 2017 Bhutan National League, but they were not relegated and will play again in the 2018 Thimphu League. A lot of youngsters in the squad and just 2 players who are currently useful. Ooh grey on white, that's a great idea. I'll try and upgrade the facilities whilst I'm here. Our competition for the year. That's what you think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 By the way, did Transport Utd lose every match by 1-0 and 2-0 or what? It's a surprisingly low goal difference from a team that finished the season on just 1 point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 2017 End of Season Review Just the one win in September but we win the league with 15 points from 10 games! This means that we enter the 2018 Asian Confederation Cup! 2017 Best XI Lobsang Chenzon Jigme Yangki - Tseten Wangchuk - Francis Egware - Sangay Jamtsho Sonam Choepel - Wangchen - Tashi Yangzom - Jigme Drukpa - Tashi Penjor Passang Thinley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 2018 Pre-Season Not an awful lot to shout about. Win the league and be competitive in our first experience of continental football. Another improvement! New Radiant's players are a lot better than ours, we have no chance. A lot more quality players join us! Tshering is the best player in Bhutan, end of. Vincent won't be a key player for us, and I'm surprised he even joined us, as in joining us he relinquished his role as Thimphu City manager! The Thimphu City board then offered me an interview, which I declined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 February 2018 Very unlucky going out in the Confederation Cup, New Radiant completely outplayed us but we got a late winner in the home leg then they scored 2 penalties in the away leg, New Radiant then beat Pakistani side K.R.L (Khan Research Labatories) 5-0 on aggregate to send them into the group stage. A mixed start in the league as well with a heavy defeat away to Tertons. It's annoying to see that Thimphu City aren't struggling without Vincent in charge.
