I wasn't invited to my neighbours bloc party, so I'm having to peak through the curtain.

[Makoto Nakamura]

I did originally load up all the smaller nations but thought that in the future the game would slow down too much so I'm sticking with out of the box leagues.

We're starting unemployed at the latest start date (Belarus, 3rd March 2019) and then seeing what interviews I get offered. No rules but it will be a journeyman and we'll see if Eastern Europe could become dominant in the Champions League.

1. FC Tatran Prešov is a Slovak football club based in the city of Prešov. Tatran Prešov is the oldest football team in Slovakia, founded on 25 May 1898. The club currently participates in the 3. liga. The "Green and Whites" played 32 seasons in the Czechoslovak top division. Tatran became the dark horse of Czechoslovak football in the 1960s and 1970s, but never won a title. The greatest league success was the second place in the 1965 and 1973 seasons. The club also came close in the Czechoslovak Cup, losing twice in 1966 and 1992 finals.

Nine games to save them, it doesn't look good!

April 2019

A great start and we actually stand a chance of surviving!

[Pompeyboyz]

Yup.....took you all of an hour to get the new one up and running 

[Rikulec]

I like it.

2019 Pre-Season

A perfect pre-season.

All we have to do is stay in the league.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2019

A great start!  

[WillHoward42]

Always enjoy an Eastern European save!

[Tacchi]

Finally a small chance that you manage a hungarian club! I hope it will come!

[Jimbokav1971]

One of my possible saves for FM20 was going to be titled, "Back in the USSR". The idea has just been crushed.

@Makoto Nakamura will have obliterated everything that I hoped to achieve by this time next week.  (I still haven't caught up with the last thread yet).

You should still definitely do it! 

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2019

A couple of slip ups but it's been a very strong start to the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2019

A terrible draw in the cup but we came very close so there's no shame in losing on penalties whilst we've had a great month in the league!

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2019

Another great month and we've moved 5 points clear!

[Jimbokav1971]

Olivar Spillar was top goal-scorer with 11 goals in that 1st part-season, (and 8 of them were scored after your arrival).

He then went and scored 6 goals in the opening 2 games of the 2nd season. He is going to love you. 

[Edit]

He's scored 9 more goals since I last refreshed bringing him to 15 goals, (12 of which were scored in 4 hat-tricks). 

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2019

And we enter the winter break top of the table.

16 goals in 18 so far this season!

2019/20 Youth Candidates

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2020

A poor month with just the one win and now Samorin and Petrzalka are right on our tail.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2020

Four great wins and we're back at the top of the table! I'm hoping the loss away to Samorin doesn't come back to bite us with four games remaining.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2019/20 End of Season Review

He hasn't been, no. It could change in the future, but I doubt it.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2020/21 Pre-Season

A perfect pre-season with a good win against Slovan Bratislava.

Predicted rock bottom.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2020

An expected big loss away to Slovan Bratislava but we were much better at home to Podbrezova.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2020

We may be in for a long season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2020

An unbeaten month despite only playing one game at home and we're up to 8th in the league and this is the furthest we've gone in the Slovnaft Cup, 

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2020

We shockingly manage to lose on penalties to non-league Matador Puchov, at least they have a great name. We somehow managed a massive win over Trencin as well!

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2020

We're a fair ways off the top couple of places but I'm very happy to have gotten as high as 4th and 10 points away from the relegation zone.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2020

Just the one game but a strong away win as we enter the winter break.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2021

A very good winter break but we've struggled back in the league.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2020/21 Youth Candidates

A potentially very good left back!

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2021

So Slovakia has a Scotland-esque Championship/Relegation group and we made it into the championship group, we won't be getting many points.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2021

A couple more wins and beating Trencin moves us above them in the table for now!

[Jimbokav1971]

Is Spilar injured or has he fallen behind in the pecking order?

He's 3rd best striker at the club, and with us just playing with the one striker he's usually coming on as a sub.

2020/21 End of Season Review

I would say this was a hugely successful first season in the top flight, a positive goal difference!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2021/22 Pre-Season

A perfect pre-season.

Championship group is the aim.

One pre-arranged transfer.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2021

A big away win to start the season but two poor results followed.
