Ugor Nganga DC, NGA, BSC Young Boys

Highly rated on paper but appears to be Switzerland's answer to Titus Bramble. Avoid him like the plague.

Tim Velten AMR, NED, Grenchen

Good right midfielder for the Challenge League available for only 7k because he's at a small club.

Patrizio Pascucci ST, ITA, Baulmes

Keeping my loanees from Young Boys out of the team. Not the best stats but good solid performances and good goals.

My scouts found Nganga + he was on my shortlist for a long while but was never interested in coming, maybe for the best it seems icon_biggrin.gif. Velten has appeared on my radar as well, can't recall if I was tempted to sign him or not, in any case, I have no money. Pascucci never cropped up and now has retired as no-one signed him when released in 09

What's Duperret (MLC) like for you? Even in 10/11 my scouts keep on recommending him as a definite purchase. Can't see why but they insist he has great potential.

Anyway, this game sums up nicely our problem. Yes, we won 4-1 but we literally had 15 shots, all off target, before we scored, and 6 out of 25 is a very poor ratio.

And maybe I should have slightly altered my tactics when we visited St Gallen icon_biggrin.gif. That nicely destroyed what had been an acceptable defensive record. Also Mazolo is an idiot, not only did he get sent off he conceded both penalties as well icon_rolleyes.gif.

We are currently 13th after 14 games, much better up front, already 3 4-1 victories. However it is normally about now that our form totally collapses and we get about 10 points during the rest of the season. That said, we have just broken a run of 4 straight defeats.

I would recommend him too, he's ace. He has got injured a few times this season but luckily I got Melina in as cover and he's good down the left too.

I had no money either but I'm so far below my wage budget I can afford to adjust.

Good luck with UGS, they're based in Geneva so really you should be able to get at least Servette as a parent, I'm not sure what's up with your board if they can't set you up with that. 13th isn't bad either, I find with the Challenge League you just need to consolidate for a couple of seasons and then if you can get some quality in it's not that hard to get out of.

Just a little update on my progress, I've reached the winter break unbeaten since my last update and I'm now sitting in a comfortable 7th icon_biggrin.gif plus Doudin has started banging them in icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif and Nganga isn't giving away a penalty per game any more icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif . Relegation avoided this season I think, now I suppose we can think about looking at the more favourable exit from this division. We're 12 points behind the playoff places but maybe with some investment from Young Boys we could find ourselves there or thereabouts...

Amur Blagoveschensk - 2011

Overall Best XI

Gorodov, Gaydarzhy and Imrekov are new entries into the squad, 5 players listed here currently play for Amur.

I've briefly checked some of the stats, and they seem to be correct. Some of the players positions are a bit peculiar though. Zhukov (shown AML) and Teterin (shown DM) played almost all their games upfront, and never in the positions they've been put in.

Player's back in white

The best Google can give me

Cool, thanks, I don't think FC Baulmes are very well known so that's the best I could do with the kits I'm afraid. The sponsor just looks like a green blob so if you don't mind doing a sponsor then could you do "Restaurant CHINOIS" from the stadium pic please? Thanks for the help!

Oh, and I managed to find the badge and download it from elsewhere but I can't get it to work, the config looks fine but I'm no expert.

request that badge in the graphics section

the kits I can't see the sponsors do you want me to make a fantasy kits with team colors you can pic type of Sponsors </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, what a season.! Never would I have imagined to win the league at the first time of asking. A new youth player, promoted from within, Neil McFarland broke all kinds of records for the club, beating Paul Wallace' record of 32 goals in a season, by a solitary goal. The cups eluded me again, with yet another 1st round exit in the Antrim Cup. Great young squad i have, who will be hitting Europe next season and getting battered all over the place, i assume icon_smile.gif

Spartak Subotica 2010/2011 Final

This season sucked quite bad and so it has taken me a long time to play all the games, losing motivation just like the players. A few bright spots include spanking Partizan 4-1 and the beginning of the season (when all looked good), not being relegated and getting hold of mighty Magyar Magasföldi for free.

It all ended in a very disappointing 12th place which after a promising start was caused by some horrendous bad form that I really have no idea of the reasons for. Moneywise we managed to get back into positive numbers by selling our Serbian under-21 international right back (who wasn't really all that tbh). Also got some money after being dumped out of UEFA cup by Beitar Jerusalem at the first hurdle, the games played in the middle of the mega slump in the league. We acquired two fantastic Slovenian defenders for free but both of which have played below par and no one else seems to like them except me. This has been a very bad season icon_frown.gif

Walhain - Belgian 3rd div. B - Winterbreak season 08/09

Well this is turning out much better than I imagined. The heroes of Walhain are now halfway through their first season under the guidance of Luc Cavalíer, an unknown slightly obese manager who somehow convinced the chairman he was the man to take Walhain to the top.

League table icon_cool.gif

Okay - It's not first place but this is far better than I have ever accomplished in my first season of LLM. Maybe it's the belgian 3rd dicision that is too easy compared to englisg LLM??

As the season started I didn't have much confidence in my players but sending a scout to see matches in the Belgian U21's and U19's proved to be pure genious. I managed to loan 4 players recommende to me, and they have all been key players so far.

Here's the squad - My heroes

C'mon Walhain!!!

hope my finances come back to the black this season like you. what sort of crowds are you pulling in? your wage budget is similar to mine so i'm wondering if that's where the difference is...

as for the kits, they're not bad. only disappointment is that you've moved away from the original colours.... icon_wink.gif not that it matters!!

Slavonija Uefa Cup Update

1st Round

Leg 1 - We did very well away in Germany, maybe just shaded it in terms of chances. Sadly we lost Marin Siklic for a month in the game.

Leg 2 - Fantastic result which looked unlikely after the first half. Down to 10 men and 1-0 down it was looking bleak for us. However I decided to give outcast and transfer want-away Sasa Horvat half an hour and he produced the goods with 2 stunning headers. We withstood the onslaught even with 9 men after Michal Sturma was stretchered off. A memorable win at the Gradski Stadium and group stage here we come. icon_biggrin.gif

Only five games in Randabergs first ever season in the Norwegian top flight and already we are really struggling. It's going to be a long season if it carries on like this. icon_frown.gif

We disparately need the transfer window in order to strengthen our squad, two successive 4-0 defeats is kind of telling me we just don't have good enough defenders to deal with most of the forwards in the Tippeligaen. icon_frown.gif

I'm not a negative person but it's not looking good and I going fight in order to secure of Tippeligaen status, but it aint going to be easy.
