iacovone Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well done aaberdeenn, you're correct, the longer you stick around, the sooner you'll lose people like Semialjac. I sold him at the end of my 3rd season as he requested to leave. Bit of a blow but Ante Popovic has filled his boots brilliantly. I'm hoping you get promoted mate, best of luck.

aaberdeenn Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks for that. I've just gone through pre-season and I've lost Semialjac for £500k, board intervened, it wiped my debt but gave me no transfer funds. I've not got any decent full backs or a left winger so I've resorted to playing good Centre Backs such as Verhas at full back. Drew my first 1-1. I think this season could be very hard.

iacovone Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Ah unlucky pal. Similar thing happened to me with Verhas. Chairman sold him. It was devastating and I reckon cost us promotion is season 3. Amazingly this season we've won our first 6 games of season 4, think this could be the one... Hope it picks up for you.

cookie15 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 At last........... Skjetten secure promotion to the First Division After a long hard strugggle we've achieved it at the second time of asking! First season we managed a respectable 5th place and ensured a good foundation for a challenge this year. Last year, we found ourselves battling in the Second Division Group 2, this year it was Group 4! Anyway, promtion was secured by three points thanks to a one man show. Sadly, i can't get Photobucket to work at the moment, but a screenie will follow. An eighteen year old Striker called Stian Ringstad (i know Gundo has mentioned him before) took the league apart with 30 goals in 24 games with an average rating of 7.83. No surprises that a few of the big guns are sniffing round him. To be honest he is the only player worth commenting about. Sadly the rest were very mediocre and i'm not sure how on earth we managed to get promoted. I'll keep you all posted on how my player recruitent goes and of course a few screenies to prove everything Stain Ringstad the Norwegian Burda?

Quacky Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Békéscsaba Elöre 2013/14 Winter "break" Note the quote marks on break, it is indeed the winter update but I do not have a break this season. I'm going for the triple this season so I need to win the league cup as well meaning lots of matches. I decided it was best to win the first stage of this so your fixtures get pushed into the winter break rather than all squashed up in the last bit of season. Add onto this champions league fixtures and I was still playing two or three games a week all the time. All these cup games meant that I didn't get round to playing the league so I'm quite a lot of games behind to be played over winter but its all going swimmingly there. I also won the first stage of the league cup so I can play under 19's in 2nd stage and still be in the overall final and I'm still in the cup so the triple is on! Champions league success though will not be with me this season for it all went a bit tits up despite making sure I had a fully fit and rested best possible team for each game. Games against Sporting and Bordeaux were actually very even home and away and I was a bit unlucky (even on the 7-3 one ) but Sevilla are in a different class. Sporting 1-0 Békéscsaba Békéscsaba 0-3 Sevilla Békéscsaba 0-1 Bordeaux Bordeaux 7-3 Békéscsaba Békéscsaba 0-1 Sporting Sevilla 5-3 Békéscsaba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quacky Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 A lot of my youth team are under 19 internationals and have a little bit of talent but none of them are good enough. I keep upgrading the facilities and reputation must be going up by now so I'm hoping someone with some quality will be born next season . The coach reports thing although sensible is sort of taking the fun out trying to play a guy who looks good for his age in the hope that he has some potential to match. Its definitely something I need to work on with the homegrown rules though, always nice when you've used up a couple of the quota with surefire starters.

Slovan 29 This year in the second league is chaos itself. Livar spanked us. We spanked Mura. Mura spanked Triglav. Newcomers Aluminij started with a 3-0 away win over Mura, and are firing from all guns. Unfortunately when we took the lead in the championship, we dropped 4 points in two games - one unlucky and one plain awful. I feel we are now better than everyone except for Livar. We'll see.

migwar Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I played the start of my 4th season last night. i couldn't win any games and could barely fashion a goal. It was dire. I lost the away leg of Salzburg game 1-0, then got thumped at home in the league by the relegation favourites... So i saved it before the second leg and turned it off. I figured the FM gods, that Jimbo is so fond of, were angry with me, and punishing me for my shock early qualification for the Champions League. I'm gonna play the second leg now. I'll be back in 10 to give my report... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachFlu Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Meldert, Belgium - December 10th 2015 Mid-season table One match short of mid-season, but it's the winter break, so close enough. A struggling season so far. Which is not unexpected, but still, it's a bit frustrating. So far, the season can be summed up in one sentence: "Supporter spokestwat believes the fans were disappointed with the team's inability to convert chances into goals." It's not that we can't score at all. 16 matches, 16 goals, mhmyeah. But we've given away several points already, which could have been prevented if we had just been just a touch more efficient up front. And being so close to the relegation zone, every point could be crucial. Nevertheless, we're in slightly better shape than we were three seasons ago at this stage. So I'm still confident that we can survive in the First Division this season. Oddly though, the bookmakers don't seem to consider us relegation battlers. Well, our media prediction is 14th, which isn't great, but they rate us as favorites for pretty much all our home matches, and some of the away matches as well. The board's expectation is to "stay clear of relegation." I suppose 14th would qualify as that. Guess I better not cut it too close though. They expect us to get to the Quarter Finals of the Belgian Cup as well. Also slightly high, I feel. We're still in it for now, but we'll need to get lucky to get through the next round and meet those expectations. No change in the financial situation. Still a few mil in the red. With the increased match day income and the occasional cash injection, the balance remains fairly stable between -2 and -3 million euro now. Perhaps next season we can slowly start climbing out of the red. As long as we avoid relegation, at least, but that should be manageable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacky Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Békéscsaba Elöre 2013/14 Final..... Finally This is possibly the longest season ever as you can see from the summary I played 69 games and thats with not progressing from champions league group stages and playing minimum number games in the 2nd stage of league cup. Anyway you can also see that we won the triple \o/ and that http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9669/41golazozo9.jpg destroyed my goalscoring records. Its the most points I've scored in the <A HREF="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/3510/season6finalcw2.jpg%5B/URL%5D" TARGET=_blank>http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/3510/season6finalcw2.jpg</A> too so all round big success. We got a boost just after Christmas when HSV splashed the cash giving us some free monies to pay for training upgrades and 2000 extra seats. Turns out I'm much loved by the board and to my surprise I'm officially world class but it was far from easy. With so many matches I had 6 games in 10 days at the end of the season (talk about your team being knackered emgergo!) where the rest period was a game an almighty 3 days away, so I salute the weary troops on a well deserved happy holiday.

iacovone Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 iacovone's End of Season Update, Slavonija, Croatian Second Division (4th Season) Hurrah! We did it! At the 4th attempt, I've dragged Slavonija out of the dark hole that is the second division. League Table As you can see here we really did runaway with it this year. Despite an unsteady period just after the winter break, normal service was resumed and a familiar hero shot us to the title and promotion to the First Division. We truly did romp the league, staying undefeated against all of the big names up there with us - Inter (Z), Slaven Belupo and Cakovec. We suffered with the size of our squad at times but fortunately any long term injuries came just before the 3 month winter break. So can't complain really. On promotion we were awarded significant TV revenue to be spread across the season. Finances are looking rosy and we saw a huge crowd watch the final home game of the season. 3066 people attended to watch the trophy being presented, treble the average attendance for the season. Luckily it seems we have managed to retain some of these fans for this season. Now the obvious ambition is to stay up. The squad is small still but we have added some quality. The current under 21 keeper has joined us which should prove a lifesaver! The only worry is in defence where I have two young but promising CBs. Anyway with the new season fast approaching...C'mon the Slavs!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
