I think the place is so small that everyone knows everyone anyway! Best of luck. I'm of the opinion that this challenge is impossible in Iceland, so I hope someone proves me wrong!

Gundo Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Good luck to all newbies.

Spurs1979 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 My first go at any of these challenges, I was going to try Dafuge's with Harlow Town but they never came up so opted to try a Norwegian team in this challenge instead. Seeing as Sandviken never get promoted I opted for a team that play's in green, I'm informed by the missus they play on an island which is not too far from Bergen so. Nest-Sotra IL My profile Club info page Now to set job adverts for staff & start to find player's for the challenge (If I make any mistakes can people please point them out, I have no intention of cheating but first time going I may have understood things wrong with transfers etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs1979 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I should point out I start with 5 youth players in my first team squad & 5 youth players in my actual U19 squad so a total rebuild like everyone else but I look forward to it. The board have a 4 year plan to win the second division group 3 & this season to avoid relegation so I'm happy with that. I very much doubt I'll be that good at the start until I get a squad sorted but will update like others are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs1979 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well my first friendly which was a home game against my new parent club Viking didn't really go that great as they played there whole first team. No surprise that I lost as Ijeh totally ran my defence ragged, every ball forward he was able to get onto & either score or set someone up. My gk seemed to be like most others & if it was on target it was a goal, I lose 12-0 in the end & conceeded 36 shots in total of which only 14 were on target. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundo Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ouch! 12-0? Friendlies are only for getting your players fit anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs1979 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The good news is I do alot better against teams in my league. Started brightly & was in 5th place till around 10 games in & then had a bad patch where I dropped down to 9th. 7 points clear of relegation but nowhere near getting promoted this season as Start 2 have won all 22 games so far this season Most the players I tried were pretty awfull especially my centre backs & central midfielders. Got lucky though as I signed 3 strikers who all seem to score enough goals for me so I feel confident with buying better defenders in the first end of season break I may make a challenge for promotion in the second season. Will post a screenshot when I finish the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 OK I am back in the game. Lets see if my first try at these type of challenges is successful. That awesome club that I was going to manage in the game I nearly started before the patch didnt get promoted this time so I had to settle for a slightly worse team.

emgergo Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Half of the first group stage is gone (I'm not even trying to describe how the system looks like, it's damn complicated), and the first team and the last (10th) in our group are separated by 6 points. We sit second with a 3-5-1 record That's what I call tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaberdeenn Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Jonny or Jimbo. What is the date of the leagues re-set in Northern Ireland? As it was a day earlier in 07 from England and as England is now a day earlier in 08 would I be right in thinking that it is the 18th June? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think it's the 18th, but not 100% sure. Best to err on the side of caution and give yourself an extra day and slowly progress to it while saving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I'm pretty sure that due to the playoff system the date to save to get new teams is around the start of May, even though the leagues aren't updated until June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I just done a quick search and fond an amazing assistant to sign. He is dutch and a coach I think but I have offered him ass man and he seems to want it. Except I want to sign him on a full time deal while he prefers part time. I seem to have a huge first team squad but other clubs can just take my players since I dont think they have professional contracts since the team just turned semi-pro and I really need an assistant to help me see which players are good and which aren't but by the time I hire one most my squad will be gone. Guess I will have to decide myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Originally posted by emgergo:Sazchu! Didn't you have any problems with players registration for the Turkish second division? I've had a news item coming on 1st July to register players. No chance to register the new signings since then, although the rules say, registration is continous from 1st July to 1st September, coinciding with the summer transfer window. All the other teams have this problem too. This might be a bug, but I'm not sure. At the current stage about 40% of the league's players are ineligible. Any ideas from anyone who has managed in the Turkish 2nd Division? Posted this in the bugs forum Greg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
