Suggy33 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 After reading the start of AcidBurn and ToMexico!!’s career threads it has persuaded me to start a new career save, which would involve having the New Zealand league loaded. I have never managed in any of the leagues I currently have loaded, even though I had previously downloaded the xml files for most of them. Setup: FM10 10.0.3 Leagues Loaded: Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji (all Top Division only) The leagues selected are all in the Asia/Oceania region, so I should, fingers crossed, build up a nice reputation after a while, enabling me to get a job at some decent clubs. I started off my save unemployed on 8th August 2009, declaring an interest in many jobs around the contininent, before finally being offered a job on the 3rd April 2010. My manager is actually based on former Tajik international player Tokhirjon Muminov Here is my Manager Profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 So'g'diyona Jizzax First Stop, Uzbekistan So'g'diyona Jizzax are an Uzbeki side currently playing in the top flight of Uzbekistani football, the Oliy Liga.. They play their home games at the Markaziy Stadium in Jizzakh, it has a cpacity of 33,000s. They have very basic training facilities and almost non existant youth facilities. Predicted to finish 13th in a league formed of 14 teams it seemed like this would be a tough challenge, and with only a budget of £8k, with a wage budget double that, it would be difficult to mount any kind of assault on the clubs above us. The Squad A very poor squad, formed entirely of players from Uzbekistan. Our best player, by far, was experienced international goalkeeper Eugeny Safanov, with no other players at the club jumping out to be started week in, week out. The Transfers So, with a low budget and an even lower reputation, I was pretty much relying on free transfers, almost all of whom where either Tajik or Uzbeki. My first 5 arrivals were all Uzbeki free agents: striker Dabran Turabiqov, full back Otabeq Ermuhamedov, winger Nurbeq Safarov, full back (and regen) Rustam Qurbonov and midfielder Nodir Usmonov. I then went on to sign Ghanain striker Daniel Tagoe from Kyrgy side Dinamo Dordoy for £0. My 2 best signings came in on loan. Firstly Bahodir Nasimov an Uzbeki international striker joined on a season loan from Rubin Kazan, a striker touted by my scouts to be one of the best in the league. Finally, Iraqi midfielder Nashat Akram joined on a similar deal from FC Twente. Arguably my 2 marquee players. The Tactic I employed a simple, counter-attacking 4-4-2 which I hoped, combined with my decent striker and Iraqi playmaker, would bring me a few goals. The Results 27/3/2010 So'g'diyona 1-2 Buxoro Qurbonov 78 ; Umarhonov 4, pen 35 07/04/2010 Sho'rtan 1-0 So'g'diyona Megreladze 19 10/04/2010 So'g'diyona 2-2 Qizilqum Usmonov 5, Safarov 85 ; Koshelev pens 62, 74 14/04/2010 Metallurg Bekobod 0-0 So'g'diyona 17/04/2010 So'g'diyona 1-0 Qorazm Tagoe 68 24/04/2010 So'g'diyona 2-2 Qorazm Nasimov 58, Akram pen 77 ; Holmurodov 4, 38 At which point, after only 3 weeks in the job, I decided to hand in my resignation notice. I felt that I was only dragging the club closer to failure. The results after I left proved this, as they won twice on the bounce, scoring 7 goals and conceding 2. Currently, from 24/04/2010, to the current day, 05/07/2010, I am currently unemployed, with the only jobs available the teams who are in bottom and second bottom of the Tajik High League.

ToMexico!! Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Good Luck with this, its great to see that AcidBurns and my careers are generating interest for others. Especially with the untapped regions of Middle East and the Oceania. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggy33 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ive now got to January 2011 without being offered a job. Still only 2 jobs have come around, both decent A-League sides who rejected me. If I dont get a job by the summer, will have to add my self. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 At last!! A new venture in my career, and on the 2nd June 2011 (my real life birthday!!), I sign a 3 year deal at Fijian club Nadi. Well, what can I say. Nadi FC Full name: Nadi FC Nickname: The Jetsetters Founded: 1937 Ground: Prince Charles Park (Capacity: 10,000) League: National Football League (Fiji) Well the NFL as I'm going to refer to it as has only 10 teams in it, and as I join Nadi FC, they are 10 games into an 18 game season, from which they have gained 8 points and sit rock bottom, so I have a lot of work to do. The board have given me a healthy budget of £59k which hopefully I can do something decent with. I'll be mainly aiming at bringing in players from the other Oceanian countries. Ive scouted most of the national teams, and with 90% of the players avaialble for £0, will bring in a few. My first 2 signings were New Caledonian internationals Marius Mapou (DC) and Jamel Kabeu (DMC). Bedtime now, will update tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nadi FC Transfers I signed 15 players for my squad, coming from 7 different nations including Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Vanuatu, American Samoa, Tonga, Tajikistan and New Caledonia. Each player will pretty much walk straight into my first team squad. When I joined, the squad was huge, as there are no youth or reserve teams, so I quickly released 35 players, all Fijian nationals, but none of a decent standard. On the 1st July (5 days time in game), we have 4 more players joining us. Two Fijian midfielders who were already arranged to join, along with Dimitri Ake Yakeula, a Vanuatan CB and Konstantin Tagiyev, a young Tajik winger and regen who will jump straight into my first team. Transfer History (I joined 02/06/2011) Standout Players 21 year old Tajik internatioal winger Fathullo Fathuloev is the best player in my squad by a mile. He came in from Istiqlol Dushanabe for £24k, a team that are 3rd in the Tajik High League. Hopefully he can carve out some chances for my strikers. Fathullo Fathuloev My other star player, is 25 year old Vanuatan midfielder Rexley Tarivuti. I know he doesnt look good on the screenshot, but for this level of football he is a top player. Rexley Tarivuti The Resuts So Far 11/06/2011 Nadi 0-1 Labasa (FA Cup Group B*) Kumar 90+2 15/06/2011 Nadi 0-1 Ba Kumar 5 18/06/2011 Tavua 1-1 Nadi (FA Cup Group B) Nakosia 77 ; Nair 20 22/06/2011 Nadroga 2-0 Nadi Esaeli 4, Qerreqeretabua pen 26 25/06/2011 Nadi 2-0 Suva (FA Cup Group B) Tarivuti 37, Nair 71 This is how our FA Cup Group stood at the end : FA Cup Group B League table with 6 games left to play. * The FA Cup system in Fiji is split into 2 groups of 5, where each team plays 4 games. The top 2 teams from each group go into a Semi Final draw and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pretty much lost interest in this now. It was OK to start with, but just didn't get to grips with managing in a nation/continent where I didnt know any of the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
