PRDH Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 End of Season Update - U.D. Pajara Playas de Jandia - 24/25 "The continued adventure of the challenge's sunshine team." Another short one, though, with a bit more detail (hopefully) - hopefully a more in-depth one will follow for next season, which I've almost finished! Transfers Finances League | Graph A much improved season, got back into the European places, which was nice, especially with the pay day that comes from that. Potential to strike upwards, interestingly Real Madrid have not been in the Champion's League for about 5 years. Europe - Our in the Second Round, good experience, will hopefully bode well for next year. Spanish Cup - Still, no nice draws to get through to the latter stages. Squad Stars Erkan Akyuz - rapidly turning into one of the best midfielders in the world. Badji Sacko - we are simply a much better team with this guy on the pitch. Tarik El Amrani - superb attacking full-back. Anthony Babin - rock in the heart of the defence. Didier Song - played well enough to mean we did not miss Jesus Galan after he left. Michel van den Berg - Creative force in midfield. German Zubarev - Solved the problems I've had in goal. Properly world-class keeper Prospects Carlos Alberto - astonishingly good player for £60K Casper Schaap - progressing well, definitely in a position to put pressure on the first team next season. Redouane Yilmaz - same as above, he is progressing well, and he has a good eye for a goal - handy for a striker.

el sid Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 End of Season Update - 2016/2017 - Racing Club de Ferrol League: Media Prediction - 5th Actual Position - 1st - Graph We retained the league, but my word, was it close! To end on the same points as the 2nd placed club but win in via the Head to Head rule was really fabulous, fantastic end to the season, as Real Madrid and us matched results week after week. Comiserations to Sevilla who were actually 1st after 32 games, but had to play against us and Madrid and ended up losing both. Very pleased with my defensive record in the league too. Oh, and Barcelona Spanish Cup - 2nd time we've won the Spanish cup. Spanish Super Cup First Leg Second Leg Roasted Athletic in the first leg, and fielded the youngsters in the return leg. Champions Cup Group Stages - Inter were a bit too strong, but happy with 2nd Knockout Stages We beat Juventus 7-4 on aggregate (1-3 in Italy and 4-3 in Spain) in a tie which was easier than I thought it would be. We were drawn against Atletico Madrid, one of our rivals in the league. We started terribly letting Atletico score 3 in the first half. Fought back in the second half but still wasn't enough to win, as it ended 3-2. In the home leg, Mohsen gave us the lead, but Aguero scored in the 66th minute to draw level on the day, and put Atletico ahead on aggregate. And that's how it stayed till the end. Transfers - Net spend positive! The Players The Defense : Cristian Alvarez - the only goalkeeper of worth in the squad, a position I'll be looking to invest in over the summer Sayed Mohsen Gonzalo Galeano Pepe Juan Marc Bouchard Julio Brayan Angulo * The Midfield : David Jerez <3 Hossam Ghader Marcelo Lorik Cana Pedro Leon - not bad for 2nd choice right winger eh? Ignacio Camacho Stephan Jonker Steven Defour Moises Kaka Victor Vazquez The Attack : Arinze Odita <3 Kai Burmeister - probably the best 2nd choice striker in the world Xisco * The Future : Denis Walter Nobili (Players marked with a * will be leaving/sold at the end of this season) Awards: Manager of the Year Cristian Alvarez - Goalkeeper of the Year 3 players in Team of the Year and 1 among the substitutes Previous Season Aims: Qualify for Champions League again - Check Qualify out of the Group stages in the CL - Check Make a profit on transfers - Check Next Season Aims: Maintain a top 2 place in the league Last 8 of the Champions League Improve the club's value Season | Club | League | Position | Comments ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2011/2012 | Ferrol S.A.D | Spanish Second Division B1 | 2nd | Promoted via Playoffs! 2012/2013 | Ferrol S.A.D | Liga Adelante | 2nd | Promoted! 2013/2014 | Ferrol S.A.D | Liga BBVA | 11th | Survived! 2014/2015 | Ferrol S.A.D | Liga BBVA | 10th | Spanish Cup Winners!

Biscotti Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Keyser Söze (Biscotti) - Oliveira do Bairro Sport Clube - Portuguese Liga Orangina Season 2016/17 - Season Summary Start of 2016/17 situation: Club Value: £400k - £4.5m loan debt Media Prediction: 15th Board Expectation: Avoid Relegation Average Ticket Price/Season Ticket Price: £5.40/£30 Squad Average Age: 25 Wage Total/Wage Budget: £8,039/£8,583 Bank Balance: -£99,470 Transfer Budget: £0 The Players After a few seasons of struggling I was really starting to feel frustrated. It's not that we didn't have good players, it was just not translating on the pitch. I didn't feel like we needed to bring too many people in, so I mainly looked to get some loans going to caver as back-ups. [[Transfers]] I already knew Fernandes was going to fit right in, having had 2 successful loan spells with us in the past, but Aguerre was a slight gamble. The Porto born player had been capped for France at U21 level, but was also eligible for Portugal. When I came across his stats and saw that Porto were letting his contract expire I felt I had to take a gamble on him. The influx of options up front made me reconsider my tactical approach, so I switched from my one-man-up-top strategy to a much narrower but far more front loaded tactic, playing 3 up front and forgoing the wings altogether. I still feel very vulnerable with only one GK worth anything in the squad, especially as he's reached 35 now, but decent back-ups have seemed tough to come by. Squad stats Key Players Dani - Didn't actually play as many games as I would have liked this season, and spent a little bit of time playing fill-in up front, but whenever he was on the pitch I always felt confident that we could create chances. António Fernandes - Finally got this lad full-time, and he really cemented himself as a quality player for the club. 18 goals and 16 assists would make him a god compared to previous seasons of strikers, but ultimately his role was that of a support striker, creating the space for Aguerre Lionel Aguerre - As I said above, taking this guy on was a bit of a gamble, but no reward ever comes without a risk. In this case, the return I got was phenomenal, with a stunning 36 goals in 45 appearances, notching up 14 assists in the process. His good physical stats along with his superb finishing and young age make me think there is no reason this lad couldn't potentially go on to earn full caps for France. Prospects One player through the youth ranks this year that looks like he could be worth putting some time into. [*]Pedro Neves - Coach report - His stats certainly suggest to me a big target man to aim for the head of. Seems to have somewhat decent starting stats, and I could see him establishing himself as a capable Liga Orangina player in a few years time The Staff Out went a scout, a fitness coach and a (crap) physio on expired contracts, and in came 3 more scouts and another fitness coach. By the end of the season I managed to convince the board to allow me to scout the whole world, so I'll be looking to max out on scouts in the near future. The Club The start of the season saw us move into the 8,165 capacity Oliveira Bairro Stadium (inventive naming there!). The most significant thing about this is that the capacity of the new ground is more than double the population of the town of Oliveira do Bairro. Not only that, but we managed to sell it out twice during the year. Not bad . We also had another board transition towards the end of the year, and in typical fashion it meant that nothing really changed as a result. Preseason Apart from earning some money and gaining match-fitness, I am not sure what reporting my preseason actually achieves any more. Expect this section to get dropped from future updates unless people really desperately want to see it. Taça de Portugal (The Cup) [[Fixtures]] After going out early last year, I was hoping to do slightly better this time out. In truth we got a pretty easy run, with only the 5th round pairing us against higher league opposition. You might notice I've deliberately cut off the end of the fixtures, and that's because I feel that semi-finals and finals are important enough that I want to break them out into their own section. See below for that Bwin Cup [[Fixtures]] [[Round 1 Table]] [[Round 3 Table]] We again dominated the round one group, coming through on top with 3 wins from 3. Then we thoroughly outplayed our Liga ZON Sagres opponents in the 2nd round to win 6-2 on aggregate. Unfortunately, the other teams were just far to strong for us in the third round, and we finished bottom of what we always knew was going to be a tough group. The League The first half of the season had me really pleased with our progress, as we spent it hovering fairly comfortably around the mid-table positions. The table was really close, and in fact in mid-February I realised that pretty much every team in the league was still in with a good shout at promotion if they got some good results. It was about this time that we really started firing on all cylinders, seeing us go on an 10-game winning streak that put us atop the table with only 4 games to play. We then had a little wobble, dropping 5 points in our next 2 games, but luckily for us nobody else was able to take advantage, and we actually secured the league title with one game to go. [[Fixtures 1]] [[Fixtures 2]] [[Table]] [[Graph]] For winning the league, we were handed a very welcome £500k prize packet. Taça de Portugal Semi-Final If you're still reading, here's the payoff. We were drawn against Sporting CP, with the first leg being away from home. This was probably the biggest match in the club's history (at least so far), and so naturally I expected the players to be a little nervy. We gave a great account of ourselves, but ulitimately Sporting's class shone through and they took the leg 2-0. The return leg saw us sell out our new stadium for the first time in the season, and it was a fantastic feeling to know I had the local populace so enthused about football. Honestly, I didn't care what the result was at the end of it, I was just really pleased to be part of it. Clichéd nonsense, I know. Sporting had much more of the game, but that can probably be put down to the fact we played more than half the match with only 10 men. While we still lost on aggregate, I am delighted to say we managed to beat them at our place 2-1 Awards The Portugese like awards, so bear with me on this: António Fernandes won Young Player of the Year Luis Solignac came 3rd for Bwin Cup Goal of the Season Lionel Aguerre won Liga Orangina Top Scorer Lionel Aguerre won Liga Orangina Most Man of the Match António Fernandes came 3rd for Liga Orangina Goal of the Season Lionel Aguerre came 3rd for Liga Orangina Quickest Goal of the Season Lionel Aguerre got Taça de Portugal Top Goalscorer Lionel Aguerre and Rocha named in the Liga Orangina Team of the Year I won Manager of the Year The club won Most Improved Team of the Year (I think that's all of them) 2016/17 Goals Avoid relegation (!) - You could say I breezed this one Make a profit - Hard not to make a profit with £500k prize money New Records Club: Highest League Postition: 1st in Liga Orangina Highest Attendance: 8,165 v Sporting CP in TdP Semi-Final Highest Gate reciepts: £50k v Sporting CP in TdP Semi-Final Average Attendance: 4419 (also more than the population of the town!)

Lower Leagues Rule Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 G-Wiz - I am really enjoying Russia, though only allowed 3 foreign players on the pitch at a time makes for some issues, though I am still sitting 7th or so in the 20 team league, have avoided relegation and now looking to improve my team ready for the new season. Another issue I have found is that there is no Bosman ruling in Russia, so even if a contract is expiring in 6 months you can sign the players, but you have to play compensation for everyone (Decided on reputation + age etc). Makes a lot of fun trying to find the right people though.

With regards to Portugal, I'm enjoying the football there a lot, as it seems extremely finely balanced until you get up to the big 3, with most teams capable of getting results on their day. The bottom tier is a b*tch to get out of though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 @ Ohanzee and el sid: Please explain me how do you get so great results in the finances!! Finances aren't a big problem once you get into Europe. Until then you could arrange friendlies against bigger teams to earn some extra cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 With regards to Portugal, I'm enjoying the football there a lot, as it seems extremely finely balanced until you get up to the big 3, with most teams capable of getting results on their day. The bottom tier is a b*tch to get out of though. Portugal is just awesome, I enjoyed my time there with AD Fafe and then with Evora last year, I agree the bottom division can be a pain to get out of, but sometimes it can be a fluke, and also the next division up is of a similar level to the top end of the 2nd Division I found. And once you get through there it is a challenge to catch the top 3, great fun... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohanzee Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 @ Ohanzee and el sid: Please explain me how do you get so great results in the finances!! First of all, I really don't see how £3M in the bank when I'm 5th in the Serie A (one of the worlds biggest leagues) is "great", but what ever rocks your boat I guess. Second, I have a section in all my season reports called "The Finances". If you actually read this, you'd see why I'm still in green and not red atm. For instance (which I already said in my report) I earned £9M more in TV-money last season compared to the one before. (I honestly wonder if it's worth making reports this detailed. Get the feeling most people just click screen shots and ignore the rest. ) And third, what el sid said, once you're in Europe it's easier. But I also think simply reaching the top division is huge when playing in these "Big Euro Nations". As for my save, I haven't had time to touch it since my last season report. Hoping to get started on the summer transfer window tomorrow maybe. And, keep up the good work everyone. Some good progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the only people that read long reports are also the same people who write long reports. I know I read all the way through the reports.
