vikisko Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The last game of Irish "First Division" takes place on the 10th of October 2014 if there is no play-off afterwards (which I really doubt). The last two were Shamrock Rovers B (not sure if I can manage them, @LowerLeaguesRule?) and Cobh Ramblers, so Ramblers it is! I will post opening update later this evening. --EDIT-- actually there is promotion playoff, but that won't change much on the bottom of the standings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintro Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Posted this in the youth challenge, but it might come in handy for this challenge as well (pretty sure the optional part is valid for this challenge as well): Holidaying in Scotland: The last game of the regular season is on 2 may. This is also the day the team from the lower league that gets to play the bottom team for promotion is chosen. Save on 1 may and holiday untill you like the team that is selected (It's visible in the league screen, and the fixtures of the team that finished last.) Reloading a couple of times gave me about 5 different teams. Cove Rangers is the most likely, followed by Brora. The game is scheduled for 16 may. Save before the game and reload untill the bottom division team wins. Actual reset date is 20 june. (optional: look at the facilities of said team and realize Scotland might not be the best option for this challenge ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 TARANTO FC Profile | Information | Facilities Manager Profile | Information Ok then! I'm back, I've taken over Taranto and I'm going to spend plenty of time having a look around at the new features in the game. As for the club, we've experienced something of a nosedive in recent years following administration in summer 2012 where the club refused to enter the Liga Pro. As such AS Taranto folded and Taranto FC were formed in placed in Serie D. We've got very good facilities for this level, although I'm not sure why our capacity is set at 27,584 but reduced to 12,154 for 'normal matches'. Eh? In terms of my abilities I went for a mix of tracksuit and tactical but almost totally reduced goalkeepers and adaptability to spend points elsewhere. As a tip I'd recommend doing the same with adaptability as this only affects your ability to adapt to a new league. Given we're not doing that in this file it made sense to me to reduce that and up points elsewhere. Similar thinking for goalkeeping coaching as I'll have my own coach. Stats. That's all for now.

vikisko Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 COBH RAMBLERS FC Profile | Information | Squad | League History Manager Profile | Information This is my first time doing this challenge and I hope to make it memorable. Decided to start in Ireland, last team in the standings was Shamrock B, only two points behind Cobh Ramblers. Star-wise the squad is solid, although compared to league standard, it is crap. Most of the current squad is on ending contracts so it will take some re-evaluating. We are £200 over our weekly wage budget with £-90,000 in bank. This will be difficult.

Away from home not so much Players of the season: D/M R | Danielle Frabotta | He really lifted our right side in the second half of the season M C | Nicola Della Penna | The new guy played really well.

Quacky Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wick Academy Manager 1, 2 | Club Information, History The mighty Wick Academy beat Montrose in the playoff to join the Scottish League 2. Unfortunately for them they handed the reigns to the unknown, unqualified and frankly useless manager, Dr. Duck. The only thing of note is that Wick is the northern-most team in the league, I made a little map (I like maps) to demonstrate my point. As such I will try to do this challenge with only signing British and Scandinavian players but in all likelihood I'll be sacked before I even have a chance to sign anyone foreign. P.S. Can anyone make the logo file for them for me please P.P.S. I just found a picture of my ground, behold Harmsworth Park! 1, 2, which frankly doesn't look like the pitch is especially flat...

Quacky Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Wick Academy 2015/2016 Scottish League 2 | 8th Table | Squad | Fixtures | Transfers I arrived in Wick and saw I didn't have enough footballers, 1 centre back isn't going to cut it. I looked at who would actually agree to sign for me, there were only 25 players on that list, all of them were at best rejects from Elgin City and they finished 9th in the league. Slowly throughout the year the number of players that thought I was a real club steadily increased to about 80 hence my constant free transfer signings thoughout the year. The year started quite well with a lot of draws in the league, I was wondering if actually winning a game was possible. This was clearly ill advised as then I started losing every game, after some tactical changes I went on a good run and took a manager of the month award, this patch was enough to secure our place in the league. The less said about the cups the better, 3 cups entered, 3 games played. Top players: Stephen Gauld | James Mackay | Colin MacLean Other stuff: Spare a thought for 34 year old right back, David Hind, he was 1st choice until he lost 7 months to knee tendonitis and it has ruined his stats, career killed.

kabajingai Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Holiday(man) in Rimini - A.C. Rimini 1912 - Serie C - 2015/2016 Rimini is an idyllic seaside resort on the east coast of Italy and is more famous for its sunny beaches and being the birthplace of famous movie director Federico Fellini than its actual football. Ten years ago Rimini gained an unlikely promotion to Serie B and took a point off newly relegated and controversial Italian champions Juventus. The future looked bright for this little coastal club. However the honeymoon period was not to last as long and the club sound found itself back in Serie C. After dabbling around Serie C for a few years, the club fell into financial ruin and were relegated to Serie D at the end of the 2013/14 season. However under the leadership of manager Marco Osio, the club has sparked a change in fortune with the club dramatically sealing promotion back to Serie C at the first attempt. However once again happiness would turn to sadness and then to bitter disappointment as manager Osio was found in bed with the owners daughter after the club's annual promotion party and was promptly issued his P45.Now chairman Fabrizio De Meis was at a crisis point. What should have been a glorious return to the 3rd tier of Italian football had become a PR nightmare. What he needed was a fall-guy. An idiot, a buffon, an ugly son of a bitch who would never sleep with his whore of a daughter. A hopeless foreigner who he could deflect any blame onto should things go wrong. After a day of long soul-searching and walking down the beach he stumbled into a cosy little seaside bar, set up by Winston Kasbarian - a former English teacher and entrepreneur in Rimini who had arrived in town 3 years ago and decided to stay after his flight from Ryanair was delayed and his luggage was sent to Barcelona. One thing led to another and after several cocktails, Kasbarian was appointed in true Italian Cellino-Hockaday fashion because according to De Meis "he's a pretty cool guy" and "knows his stuff about the Serie C set-up." So let's see what we've got; Profile Information Club Overview Squad Facilities Finances Prediction: 18th. Avoid relegation!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well MC only beat us 3-0 despite outshooting us 17-0 so that's encouraging. I suspect our defense will be our strength. And the president did find us an assistant coach. He's Turkish, doesn't speak Spanish and is the under 19s assistant but at least he gets rid of unrealistic options so I can complete my staff.

Bruno (AMC)* - Currently our lead for the Shadow Striker role, hopefully see him popping up with the goals soon. Diogo Mauricio (AML) - Our young back-up on the left wing side. Eduardo Bonetti (DC) - One of our younger back-ups, could play a role if injuries affect our core DCs Filipe Paiva (DC)* - It took several attempts to complete this signing, as his club that he was with kept offering new contracts to him (I assume amateur/non-contract ones) Francis (AMR)* - I had some concerns about To Jo as I started to sign players to other roles, but could only find youngsters, now I have three guys battling for the role. Ivo Fernandes (MC)* - He will play as our Box to Box Midfielder to start the season Joao Martins (MC)* - Martins will pair with Fernandes, he will play as the Ball Winner to start with. Luisinho (AMR) - The other young right winger bought in to compete for the role, slightly behind Francis right now. Mauro Mesquita (DL)* - Our starting Wing back, he will be looking to get involved up the left, Jonnhy his back-up will do the same. Naldo (AMC) - Signed as the starter, but dropped behind when we added Bruno. Nuno Silva (GK)* - Our starter between the sticks will do his best to try and keep the ball out of his own net. Pedro Ferreira (DR)* - Our starting right back, he will be in a more supportive role, and more likely to be back in the caser of a counter attack. Ruslan Padnevych (ST) - The Ukrainian will play as the back-up to start the season, but given his skills I feel he could end up in the role by the end of the season. Sergio Nunes (DC)* - The next best DC, will probably start the season on the bench as he recovers from injury giving Bonetti the start for now. Tiago Lopes (AMC) - I love my younger guys, and this was another one for some depth. Tony (DC) - A youngster who will look to be the second back-up Yan Zihao (AML)* - The Chinese left winger will get the start out there, looks very useful, learning the language is the first challenge though. I didn't sign this guy, but I really did think about it after seeing his name. Starting XI: I will be playing a sort of 4-2-4 this season, standard mentality and fluid positioning, could also be labelled a 4-2-3-1, but the front 4 are more likely to work as a unit. The Right winger is an Inside Forward, the Centre AM is a Shadow Striker and the ST is Deep Lying, this results in a front line which is sort of angled across the field and should hopefully get goals from all of them, with assists if not from the front coming from the Box to Box midfielder and the Left Winger (S). The Ball Winning Mid helps to protect in front of the back line while the left back is likely to get up the field as well in his attacking Wingback role, if we have overlaps it should be on that side of the field. GK: Nuno Silva DR: Pedro Ferreira DC: Filipe Paiva DC: Sergio Nunes DL: Mauro Mesquita MC: Ivo Fernandes MC: Joao Martins AMR: Francis - For now (To Jo could win it back) AMC: Bruno AML: Yan Zihao ST: Jordan - The only starter who was with the club when I joined[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 So after some bad games to start, we have now played 13 games, so 5 games left in the first phase and we have climbed to 4th having played the top 3 twice each already. This means the remaining 5 games are against teams below us, though we are 9pts from 2nd, so the chances of catching up and making it into the Promotion Playoff is unlikely this season.

They won the league in 1966, 68, 69, 70, 72 and 73 but haven't had too much success since, we have a good few players with a strong youth team (in my opinion). We have £200 spare wage budget so hopefully I can get some good freebies in. In the 1st season they finished dead last with 20 points with Cobh Ramblers finishing 7th with 27 points.

vikisko Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Cobh Ramblers 2015 Irish First Division | 6th Table | Squad | Finances | Transfers My first season in charge we tried our best not to make a fools of ourselves. We had a good start but then a seriously bad run of form saw us drop into the middle park. Very inconsistent performances meant that we were jumping up and down the table whole send half of the season and finally settled comfortably at 6th place. Cup-wise there was only one team we beat and it was a non-league club in Munster Senior Cup. Surprisingly, we more than satisfied our board with this "achievement". At the end of a season, I signed new two year deal with The Club. Top players: Stephen Kenny | Robert Waters Season | League | Position | Munster Cup | League Cup | Chal. Cup | Avg.

darthbomb Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nairn County Club Overview League History Club BackgroundWith the club recently turning 100 years old and the last competition win over 30 years ago, the history pages are a blank canvas for young talented manager Adam Banks to fill. With players experiencing their first foray into Scottish League 2, a "bare bones" backroom staff team and very basic facilities, will County manage any success at all?
