TerminalPortugal Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Our run of perfect form is over with a loss (which ended our undefeated season) to Melbourne City, before a draw against Sydney. The Champions League was a breeze as we beat everyone in sight. We win the league by 13 points from Melbourne City. Wellington Phoenix are improving every year, now they are 8th. Well a weird group, we demolished everyone, and everyone else finished on 5 points. Consadole get through on head to head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerminalPortugal Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Shock horror. We lost form at just the wrong time and it has cost us, as rivals Newcastle put us out of the Finals, 3-2. A bit of a disappointment at the end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerminalPortugal Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Air Miles Calculation Time We won 44 games this season. The equation is as follows:- 3 x 4.78 x 2 x 1 = 28.67 miles per win = 1,261.36 miles earned this season, added to our 4,334.70 miles in the kitty means we now have a range of 5,596.06 miles. This is what the map now looks like:- It's a huge upgrade for us Sri Lanka, Bangladesh (narrowly miss India), Myanmar, Laos, China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea and tiny part of Russia are now open to us. This will definitely mean that Indonesia and go by the way side and I think we will be loading the South Korean, Japanese and Chinese leagues to see if anything takes our fancy. I think the most interesting thing is how close we could be to the southern tip of South America. Plenty more options for us, but we will have to wait until the leagues are available and see if there are any jobs available. Here is a closer look at coverage in East Asia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerminalPortugal Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I won't be signing a new contract with Central Coast Mariners, the options available are becoming too good to ignore, we will go on a month to month. This is getting dangerous however, page one does state that if I get sacked I lose all my points, so I might need to act quickly if things go badly or if they don't like the fact that I am not signing a new deal and want stability at the club.

Such is the weirdness of how we draw maps, it tricks the mind into thinking you are further away from a place than you actually especially South America and Oceania. 19 hours ago, henryzz said: One more season and Argentina are a good possibility. Defo, could probably do that, only issue is that most Argentinian clubs are from the north of the country, actually most are from in and around Buenos Aires, so if we don't reach northern Argentina, there will be a more limited choice as to who we can manage.
