CoachFlu Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Meldert, Belgium - March 1st 2013 I did a quarter-season update, suppose I'll do a three-quarter one as well. League table Well, there's some progress. We doubled our amount of points in the last 8 matches, and are no longer rock bottom. We're still in with a chance of avoiding relegation. We even went on a 4 match unbeaten run. Unfortunately three of them were draws - damn that 92nd minute Anderlecht goal. Match of the season so far (and I doubt it'll be surpassed) : 6-5 away win against Genk, after being reduced to ten men in the 2nd minute. 4-2 in the lead at half time due to some lethal counter-attacking, falling apart to 4-5 in the second half, but then an amazing fight-back with two late goals to snatch three incredibly valuable points. If nothing else, we're doing some brave relegation battling. Unfortunately the teams ahead of us are getting the odd point here and there as well, so I don't know if our efforts will be enough. A fairly tough string of matches ahead, with St. Truiden (4th), KV Mechelen (8th), Club Brugge (1st), Standard (2nd) and Brussels (10th). Closing the gap to the teams ahead of us in those five matches will be very hard, but hopefully we can limit the damage so we're still in with a chance for the last 4 matches, when we face Dessel (18th), Roeselare (14th), Lokeren (15th) and Virton (16th). Could come down to a last day decider. The board is still pleased with me, so I think I'd be able to keep my job even if we do relegate. But we're not that far yet. Still nine matches to go...

Alurny Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I just got a shock promotion. The thing is I am no where near ready. I feel like Steve Coppel who didn't want Reading to go into europe last season. I'm afraid it is all Qvist's fault, scoring so prolifically. I should have ended his loan. I blame the team above, who I was sure would win the last game of the season Oh well. Lets hope I somehow manage to stay up. Full season report to follow.

Alurny Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Helsingør - Danish First Division - End of 09/10 season Helsingør Profile Table Graph Table End Squad Yet another season where loans were the course of action. Our measly reputation seems to be severely limiting the acquisition of players. A strange season where I dominated due to Qvist, often destroying teams by several goals only to go into the next game and lose! Qvist was playing below his level, and it showed in his goals tally. In all honesty I didn't want to go up, expecting my parent club to be less willing to help me out. Promotion was secured by our massive goal difference and the useless side above me failing to win a dead cert game. My fans are happy but I fear this won't be for long. I fear my expectations may be true, with very little available on loan. What is worse is that the players I have loaned now are Copenhagen starters and likely to destroy me upon promotion. I think expecting anything other than relegation is unrealistic but hopefully we will turn professional and with that gain a reputation rise we need to attract the right sort of player. At present it doesnt look good however wih players rejecting me for 2nd Division sides! We had a good cup run, stopped in the third round to a premiership side which boosted the coffers. Fingers crossed I can get the personnel in I need, but it looks like it is going to be a long, hard slog in the premier division. With the facilities I had upon promotion and funds lacking I am not looking forward to this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing everything was back to normal for this season (bottom two go down), but I'm not sure, or if SI implemented it. Unfortunately for me, that is indeed implemented. No second chance through playoffs anymore. Bottom two go straight down. Quick update while I'm at it: March 19th table. 4 points from the last three matches, against top-half-of-the-table teams. We're battling so incredibly bravely, that at this stage I'd be quite gutted if we don't manage to avoid relegation. We won 2-1 against Sint-Truiden, with a great injury time goal. Lost 2-1 to KV Mechelen, which hurt a bit, because we were hanging on to a draw for dear life with 9 men, but got the uppercut in the 87th minute. But we did manage to hang on to a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Standard. Unfortunately, the teams above me scraped some points together as well. And I'll be minus two key players for a while - a DC got a 6 match ban for head-butting, and my right winger broke his arm. But it's still possible. We just need to keep fighting, and perhaps a touch of luck here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundo Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 What's your opinion on this guys... When (or If) you complete this challenge (when you've won your domestic league title & Champions League) and say you decide to take a national team job as well as keeping your current club job, do you think your updates should be included in the challenge table from that point? So basically if you're still winning trophy's, do you think those achievements should be documented in the table aswell? I'm not sure how dafuge operates regarding this, but I know that last year in my challenge I stopped updating once you'd taken an international job. However this year I'm 50/50? I'd be greatful any feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quacky Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Békéscsaba Elöre FC 2010/11 After promotion as is the way a crazy season follows. I somehow managed to go 10 games unbeaten and leading the league at the winter break. It (ambiguous emotion face) was also just after I spotted the league cup. It is without doubt the single most stupid cup I have ever seen, a group stage of 6 matches followed by playoffs to give 1 winner then later in the season repeated to give a second winner and then play each other. I mostly played reserves in this silly competition but I accidentally made it to the playoffs on the 2nd group stage. Thinking there can't be too many more matches I decided to go for the win leading to me playing 2 or 3 games every week for the rest of the season. My league form fell to pieces finishing up 11th by the end but at least I won the cup. Just to emphasize the insanity of this thing the league is 30 games, I played 20 games in this cup and that was with going out in the first stage. Intertoto cup updates to come that should up my profile a bit more still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachFlu Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Meldert, Belgium - May 11th 2013 Mid-season table End of season Ah well. For a moment there, it looked like we'd be able to pull it off, but at the end we just didn't have enough in the tank. Our fate was sealed on the second to last match day when we only managed to draw Lokeren, who were 5 points ahead of us. A slightly anti-climactic finish to the season. Back down we go. That's disappointing, but I can't say it's undeserved. Our second half of the season was somewhat respectable, averaging exactly 1 point per match, but it wasn't enough to overcome our very poor season start (8 points from the first 17 matches). In cases like this, there are obviously plenty of "if only" moments in a season. A missed chance here, a bad call there... But ultimately, I blame only myself for this relegation (as opposed to, erm, the li'l blobs on the screen, I suppose.) It took me way too long before I started making tactical adjustments. I'm a "one tactic fits all" type of manager, and my FM07 tactic had been working like a charm for a long time, so I was reluctant to change it now. But after starting the season with 8 straight defeats, it was time to smell the coffee. Some basic tinkering, nothing too fancy - more direct passing, faster tempo, counter attacking - and results started improving. If only I'd started tinkering sooner. But, oh well. I suppose we got promoted too soon anyway. Back to the Second Division for a bit, and then we'll come back up "for real." At least this season was a financial success. We have a nice 2.1 mil in the bank now. Of course, if the board decide to expand the stadium, we could be in the red again pretty fast. And I'll have to reduce the wage bill a bit either way, or we'll be running at a loss next season. No complaints about the board just yet though. That new confidence-module may not be perfect yet, but it's definitely going in the right direction. In FM07, I'd probably get the sack right about now, or very close to it. Instead, the board is still very pleased with me, because I'm still ahead of my long term goals. The team. Not all that much to tell about the team. A few decent players, but most weren't up to the level of First Division football. One who kept surprising me, in a good way: Snorry Occasional Icelandic international, I had him pegged as "decent, but not very good." But with my best striker out for 8 months, he was the best I had available. Didn't think he was the ideal type of striker for a 4-4-1-1 counter attacking tactic, but he proved me wrong. 20 goals in a season is impressive, especially for a relegation team.

emgergo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Very exciting spring ahead for NK Slovan League table is: 1. Triglav 40 pts (automatic promotion spot) 2. NK Slovan 31 pts (promotion playoff spot) 3. Nafta 30 pts 4. Bela Krajina 30 pts The rest is well behind. Let's see how we did against the rivals: 1. Triglav: 3-1 H, 1-1 A 3. Nafta 1-1 H, 0-0 A 4. Bela Krajina 0-3 H, 0-1 A Refs cost us 4 points with awarding two out-of-nowhere penalties against Bela Krajina and Triglav All our games against the rivals will be home \o/ So far this is our best chance to get to the promotion playoff spot at least. Problem is, that no 2nd league team was able to win the promotion playoffs this far We have now 1 U21 and 3 U19 international players (the U21 and one U19 are my players, the other two are on loan), so they get called up a the worst times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

migwar Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Didn't get time to do my official update last night. Season's end is really wierd in Slovakia, and the squad only get a week's holiday, they come back match fit and everything... Then, at season's end on 28th/29th June they all lose about 20% of their match fitness and become magically in need of match practice, literally overnight... Anyway, i digress. I was doing some research into the real Puchov last week and found that they used to be a really good team, by Slovakian standards. They actually won the Slovakian cup a few years ago, played in the Eufa cup and did well enough to get thumped 8-0 away by Barcelona, after holding them 1-1 at home... So, after finding that out i was quite surprised to see they were relegated from the 1st division in 2005/06. I was even more surprised to see they weren't listed as being in the second division the following season!! Being a fairly cheeky so-and-so, and having spotted a contact email address of the guy who did the website i was using, I emailed him to ask what happened.

Gundo Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Originally posted by migwar:Didn't get time to do my official update last night. Season's end is really wierd in Slovakia, and the squad only get a week's holiday, they come back match fit and everything... Then, at season's end on 28th/29th June they all lose about 20% of their match fitness and become magically in need of match practice, literally overnight... Anyway, i digress. I was doing some research into the real Puchov last week and found that they used to be a really good team, by Slovakian standards. They actually won the Slovakian cup a few years ago, played in the Eufa cup and did well enough to get thumped 8-0 away by Barcelona, after holding them 1-1 at home... So, after finding that out i was quite surprised to see they were relegated from the 1st division in 2005/06. I was even more surprised to see they weren't listed as being in the second division the following season!! Being a fairly cheeky so-and-so, and having spotted a contact email address of the guy who did the website i was using, I emailed him to ask what happened.

Can I ask what is the clubs valuation on the club info screen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

migwar Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 [b[Gundo[/b] I didn't notice what the club value was when i started, but it was £325k after promotion, so it cant have been too low. it was only last night that i realised the truly devastating potential of the 'high win bonus'. i won the league and was £100k in the red, then paid out my £250k win bonus... oddly enough, if i told the board i would win the league this season they were prepared to offer me £16.5k per week wage budget, when i'm currently using £8k per week and losing £10-20k per week from the clubs bank balance... on a positive note, we sold a lot more season tickets this year, so maybe we'll get a bigger crowd. i hope so. we had the second worst attendance in division 2...
