iacovone Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Well well well. Luca Cammilluzzi. Had him in my first season and I think it was Des who gave glowing reports on his time with him at Domegliera. However he failed to shine in that 1st season with me. Then in the 2nd season Lazio loaned him to Mattersburg in Germany so I missed out. This year was different - he was sent to us and my word how he's played! As I speak he's just scored a brace against Teramo to take it to 8 goals in his last 3 games He's gonna fire us to Serie C1 at this rate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Out of the Serie C Cup in the first knockout round. Lost 5-3 on aggregate to Ancona Coupled with this has been a recent horrendous run of form. We lost 2-0 away to Foggia despite a ridiculous number of shots on target (their keeper is Serie B standard at least!) and a 7-2 defeat away to top of the league Giulianova. We were down to ten men. My keeper decided not to move all game! I think we conceded 3 free kicks Anyway we're back on track now though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Albalonga Mid-Season Update - 10/11 My pre season optimism has been proved justified thankfully! We're sitting 4th at the mid-point of the season and looking good for at least a playoff place. We're only a point off 2nd but 8 off top placed Giulianova! However I still think we have a chance of catching them. Although my rather flamboyant tactic began well, we were quickly found out, largely due to the absence of my 2nd AM not doing enough. So I moved him back to another MC and this appears to have shored up the midfield and made us a lot harder to beat. If this form continues into the 2nd half of the season and I can bring in a couple of new faces to freshen the squad I think promotion is a real possibility Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave safc Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 dave safc - Nocerina - 2010/2011 - End of season Media Prediction - 6th Final Position - 1st (Champions!) Final Table - Table Transfers - Transfers (Yes, I did trial Soares first!) Serie C Cup - Semi Final What a fantastic season for us, we actually went 30 games unbeaten in the league (37 games unbeaten overall) before capitulating in the final games, but held onto our first place finish courtesy of a 2-2 draw away to 2nd place Gallipoli to confirm our promotion on the turf of our nearest rivals. I did my best to get us eliminated from the Serie C cup, fielding our second string side the whole tournament, only for them to destroy every team in sight until meeting their end in the semi-final. I had to sell Amraei as his contract was running out and he wouldn't sign. Fabio Faria was sold above my head I'm now preping my first assault on Serie B, armed with 15m in the bank and a stadium expanison planned, to bring us up to 15,000 seats.

dave safc Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah, i'm noticing that it's a big step up, I'm getting outplayed quite a bit. Although, I've beat Livorno of Serie A 4-0 in the cup I've got so much money because I've (well, the chairman ) sold £10.5m worth of players.

rlipscombe Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Como - Serie C1/A - Season 2011/12 so then, time a very brief review about what happened while we were all away. As we all know, i was targeting promotion back to Serie B thi season, and as a result, gambled a bit on the finances, spending over £1 million, and stretching the wage budget to £48k per week. Ultimately, the season was a bit disappointing. We finished distant of the top 4 in 5th, which did mean the play-offs. A 2-1 defeat at home to Ternana wasn' the best start, and being reduced to 9 men in the 2nd leg didn't help. We managed to win 1-0, but missed out due to the fact Ternana finished higher in the league As for the Serie C Cup....... We only went and bloomin' won it!! Despite not being initially interested in it, i had to take it more seriously as the league faltered, and we won the final 3-0 on aggregate. As mentioned earlier, i took a big gamble on the fiances, and ultimatelt it backfired somewhat. We made a loss on the season of £2 million, seriously hampering our balance as it dropped to £1.3 million. i will be looking to rectify this somewhat this season. As for the squad, star players were Kropfl, De Lucia (strikers), Antheunis (AMC), Kyteramateng (AML) and De Roo (CB). Corradini was also easily the best GK i've had. i'd love to be able to post screenshots, but i don't seem to be able to at the moment. hopefully i can add them later.....

Lower Leagues Rule Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Des Tiny's Domegliara Version II "Its a new beginning at a very familiar ground" Des Tiny has travelled back in time to July 2008 and signed once more to be the manager of Domgliara in the Serie C2/C. Finances are looking good, and again there is only a very small stadium with seats for less than 1000, a renovation is in progress, but Des knows it will be a few years before he will be able to have more than a few close friends at a game. Being given a reasonable sized Transfer Budget (£90k) and a Wage budget of £7.75k has meant that he will be able to bring in a reasonable sized squad. Des went a bit mad at the beginning and brought in nearly 80 players before slowly removing some deadwood to be still left with 65. These numbers are hoping to be further reduced in January. The July and August friendlies was an opportunity for many players to get a run and they did just that. 11/07 FRN vs Reggina Res 2-6 HT: 1-4 Att: 85 Cammilluzzi (6,53) 16/07 FRN at Portosummaga 3-5 HT: 2-2 Cammilluzzi (15), Staiti (23), Vitale (49*) 20/07 FRN vs Napoli Res. 1-5 HT: 0-4 Att: 75 Esposito (87) 23/07 FRN at Cuneo 2-2 HT: 1-2 Sanci (30), Esposito (90) 26/07 FRN at Pergocrema 2-3 HT: 1-2 Sanci (25), Staiti (85) 03/08 FRN vs Martina 2-0 HT: 0-0 Att: 490 MoM: Papa Papa (74), Pacciardi (78) 06/08 FRN at Noicattaro 4-1 HT: 2-1 MoM: Diagne Staiti (10), Diagne (37*,78*), Cammilluzzi (66) 10/08 FRN vs Austria Karnten 2-2 HT: 2-1 Att: 460 MoM: Papa Cammilluzzi (13), Papa (29) Papa, Diagne and Cammilluzzi were memories of Des’ last period at Montindin and they came back with very happy times ahead. Staiti will be keeping the right flank under control with Vitale on the left. This has given Des a very experienced midfield, the addition of Gaeta as the second striker and Sanci as back-up has resulted in a great attacking line up though some clear weaknesses in defense that need to be closed down, though the second half of the friendlies was a lot better than the beginning. Then it was on and into the Regular season where the odds stated a shot at relegation and the board would be happy just to finish mid table. Regular Season 17/08 SCC vs Siracusa 2-2 HT: 1-1 Att: 508 MoM: Papa Sanci (36), Lombardi (83) 20/08 SCC at Vibonese 4-4 HT: 1-3 Cammilluzzi (2), Vitale (52), Sanci (73,90) 24/08 C2C at Olympia Agnonese 4-0 HT: 3-0 MoM: Gaeta Gaeta (3,59), Cammilluzzi (27,40) 31/08 C2C vs Vigor Lamezia 3-1 HT: 2-0 Att: 852 Cammilluzzi (29), Diagne (39), Sanci (90) 03/09 SCC vs Gela 1-2 HT: 0-0 Att: 847 MoM: Gianello Cammilluzzi (90) 07/09 C2C at Val di Sangro 2-2 HT: 0-1 Staiti (55), Cammilluzzi (66) 10/09 SCC at Igea Virtus 3-4 HT: 1-2 Gaeta (18), Pacciardi (55), Vitale (58) 14/09 C2C vs Crotone 5-3 HT: 3-2 Att: 846 MoM: Diagne Diagne (11*,71*,90), Gaita (pen19,36)**** 21/09 C2C at Real Marcianise 0-3 HT: 0-3 28/09 C2C vs Paganese 3-2 HT: 0-1 Att: 862 MoM: Cammilluzzi Cammilluzzi (51,88), Diagne (66*) These games knocked Domegliara out of the Serie C Cup, but left them in Playoff contention in the Serie C2/C. The difference between the cup and the league obivous. Four Games in Cup: Goals For – 10, Against - 12, WDL record – 0-2-2 Four Games in League: Goals For – 14, Against – 6, WDL record 3-1-0 Des had chosen to use the Cup as more friendlies this year, but was still disappointed by the effort. Domegliara is hoping for promotion in its first year in the Serie C2.

freek_teek Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 If I stay within the Regionalliga Nord next season, there are probably 2 teams that should be better than me (bigger teams, more budget), another two are about the same level than me. Since there is only one promotion spot I rate my chances at about 10% next season. The problem is that at the moment the 3 teams that are on course to relegation from the 3e Bundesliga are teams that are from North- or West- Germany. If geography is respected Kickers Emden at least should get a place in the North. If on the other hand I get transfered back to the Regionalliga West, my chances of promotion rise considerably. The team that at the moment is winning that division would fail to get in the top 5 in the North, which makes it extra frustrating. I think I'm going to play out this season (as I'm already in may), and see if I get transfered back to the West, if not I'll start again with a smaller team, probably in the Regionalliga South (by far the easiest division in my game).

freek_teek Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 In France I wouldn't count to much on players already in the team. You normally get 3-4 players (depends a bit on the teams that get promoted). In my limited experience in France, the teams that come up have players on amateur contract, so there's no problem getting rid of them and start with an empty team if that's more your thing. Edited to add: Also Germany is quite tough initially (only one promotion slot per division) but after that it gets easier I think. Most of the teams that get promoted stay up (exept the teams from the regional Division South that seems a little easier to get out of) Also there are a lot of decent players in Germany.

rlipscombe Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 i would be quite intrigued personally to see someone play in France, as no one does it currently. if i was to start another game (which may well happen if i continue to stagnate at Como), i'd be off to France i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistryman Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 i think that i am going to try france after I complete the current 20/20 challenge should I bring in staff first before players and also how many scouts will be needed? I usually bring in 6-7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually bring in 6-7 i'd definately make sure you have your ass man in place first so he can comment on signings etc. as for scouts, it'll depend on what the club let you have but i'd say 3 will probably be a decent amount. if you have the ability to scout central europe, i'd say it is a MUST DO - plenty of decent europeans can be found. (half my Como squad practically are non-italian...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freek_teek Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I always make sure I get 2 scouts first, one with high stats in judging ability the other judging ability(because I play according to LLM-guidelines, without them I have no way of finding players). I think 2 should be enough when you start. Than an Assistent Manager and Physio. For scouts and an assistant manager I am willing to pay compensation if no unemployed respond to my adverts. For physio's and coaches I always wait 'till some unemployed apply. *edit* No idea what that smiley is doing there, it's going to take some time to get used to these boards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 time for a very quick update on my Como game (as i'm bored and can't be arsed with work...) 8 games into the league season, and my record is 5-3-0. sitting 2nd in the league. pleased with the start we've had to date. seem tighter at the back now (only conceded 6) and still scoring a few goals. this is due to nothing other than a change in CB, with new signing Pisani partnering De Roo at the back. As for the Serie C Cup, i'm out of that at the group stage, after using it as an extended pre-season. inconsistency trying different players didn't help, but i'm not really fussed. it's all about the league this season. As for players, the early stars are Sercan Serarer and Nicolas Millan. After toying with the idea of selling Millan due to his extremely inconsistent form over the previous 2 years, which led to few appearances, he has finally matured into a goalscoring forward. If he can stay injury free, he may play a big part in our season. fingers crossed for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Quick update from the US. Obviously Albalonga are on hold until September but we signed off superbly getting promoted in our 4th(?) season. (sorry I can't remember off the top of my head). Anyway we romped to the title and followed up next season impressively, keeping up with the strongest sides and sit currently 5th going into the final 10 games. I can't wait to get back into it!
