Zekran Karisic Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Welcome to the FM 11 thread of "As big as the biggest in Europe" Club Information Name: Sporting Clube de Portugal Founded: 1st July 1906 Stadium: Estádio José de Alvalade Século XXI (or simply Alvalade XXI) - capacity for 50,446 spectators - built for Euro 2004 Chairman Status: Loves the Club Fierce Rivals: SL Benfica, FC Porto Other rivals: Belenenses Legends: Luís Figo Icons: Fernando Peyroteo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Fernandes, Liédson, Vitor Damas, Ricardo Sá Pinto, Oceano Cruz, Krassimir Balakov, Alberto Acosta Favoured Personnel: None Youth Facilities: Excellent youth facilities & Youth Academy Training Facilities: Top training facilities Corporate Facilities: Top Corporate Facilities Continental Competition: Europa League Media prediction: 3rd Club Finances Financial Status: Rich Loans Outstanding: None Wages: The club is currently spending €1.21M per month on wages Start of season expectations Title Challenge: Transfer Budget €2M and Wage Budget €1.21M p/m Winner: Transfer Budget €2.5M and Wage Budget €1.4M p/m A little bit of history "“We want sporting to be a big club, as big as the biggest in Europe”. This vote of approval was given on the 8th of May 1906 by José Alvalade and with this vote came the colour green: The colour of hope. One hundred years later this infamous quote has more than justified its utterance, as Sporting embraces its unique past and launches itself into new challenges in the future." - in Sporting Clube de Portugal Website I guess no one will read a long text (those who want, wikipedia and similars are your friends and don't forget to visit Sporting official website), so ... Sporting, or simply SCP, is a Portuguese football team from the city of Lisbon, the portuguese capital. It was founded in 1906, it is one of the Três Grandes, or Big Three, football clubs in Portugal, with Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Futebol Clube do Portol being the other two clubs, Sporting's two biggest rivals. Although football is the most important sport in Portugal, Sporting is an eclectic club with a lot of titles in all kind of sports, among them athletics (notable athletes like Carlos Lopes who won the Olympic Marathon Gold Medal in '84, and it is the oldest olympic marathon winner with 37 years; Francis Obikwelu, silver medal in Athens '04's 100m; Naide Gomes and so on) swimming, billiards, handball, table tennis, and futsal. In fact, Sporting is the second european club with the most titles won, behind Barcelona.

However the next season is being prepared right away by the new direction (Godinho Lopes and his crew) who is bringing old glories to work at the club. The next year manager will be Domingos Paciência (yeah, Braga's manager who was runner-up in Europa League this year) and many players are being related to Sporting so let's see what'll happen.

Zekran Karisic Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hey guys! For those who are unaware of the Portuguese League (you don't miss that much, trust me), Sporting is one of the 3 "Grandes" along with Benfica and Porto. Although we didn't have much success in the late years, we don't win a championship since 01/02, every year, Sporting is a contender to the title. But let's not talk about this, soon i'll have the OP finished and you'll know more about the club ... And now, let's talk about FM. What've you already achieved? Did you brought back Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2016/2017? Share your opinions and experience with this awesome club! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
