dave safc Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 dave safc - Niki Volou - 2010/2011 - Greek National Division B Media Prediction - 11th Final League Position - 1st (Champions!) Final League Table - Table Greek Cup - 4th Round Season Overview A very successful season for Niki Volou! One area of the team that badly needed strengthening after last season was the defence, I consequently brought in some seasoned pros who occupied 3 of the 4 defence slots and provided a solid base on which to build. I also devised my own tactics which I believed played to my team's strength. Goals came from all over the pitch and clean sheets were a regular occurence. We did have the tendency to lose (sometimes heavily) as shown by the 9 defeats, but I feel it was a fully deserved title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundo Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 A brief Randaberg update as we enter the final third of season 2016. We sit top of the league with 7 games remaining, we are still in the Norwegian Cup at the semi-final stage against Trømso and a Uefa Cup first round tie awaits us against Besiktas after we got past Bratislava 3-2 on agg from the previous round. All to play for then. Ringstad is on fire, Myhre is pulling the strings from the middle of the park and our defense is water tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konquest Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 FK Vigor - Norwegian Second Division Group 3 - End of 2008 Report At a glance Norwegian Second Division - Group 3 Media prediction: 13th Board ambition: Avoid relegation Final Standing: 5th :b: That's it! Only one competition to kick things off again in this Challenge. It went fairly well, never in real danger of relegation, never challenging for the top, because, well... we just got promoted. From a team of all grey players (except for 2 youngsters which were bad enough), I can say I'm fairly happy with their display. The Squad Best XI - 2008 Edition Squad Stats Fans's Player of the Year: Stian Thommesen 8 goals and 5 assists were tremendous production from the wigner. He benefited a lot from the style of play that we were using in the first half of the season, with 2 wingers coming often in front and almost playing as strikers... Manager's Player of the Year: Stian Thommesen Singing of the season: Stian Ringstad Don't tell me you haven't seen this coming... This lad has been snapped for £40K and was only there for the last part of the season. Nevertheless, he managed to score 6 goals in 8 games. At only 17, he's promised to great things. Obscure Hero: Tore Bjerk OK, the guy is not really obscure as he's our captain. But I feel he is a vital part of our team so far and should be mentioned somewhere. Despite "Meh!" stats, he managed to be a good part of our team's defence. Looking forward: Askel Johnsen and Sverre Digerud were alternating in front before Ringstad came in. In the later half of the season, I changed to two strikers, as they both showed pretty good things in front. I'm looking for them to grow up and play a pretty good part in the future. As you can see, many guys got their chance to shine in this year's success. I had no less than 12 different goal scorers and 12 different assistees. The Club Finances are not disastrous (yet!) and I am usually pretty good at keeping things under control, so it should be ok here. Not much to say at this point, the board wants us to survive after 2 years in the Second Division, I'm secretly hoping to get promotion next season, maybe the one after. But I'm not telling anyone, as I don't want to pressure my guys for a mere £0.1K more per week in salary budgeté But shhhhh! Keep that as a secret, I don't want my board to know! The Rest Champions League: Inter won 2-2 on penalties against Arsenal UEFA Cup: At.

Jazza Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well done Jazza, I found it such hard going in Iceland at the very beginning of this thread. I'm almost convinced it would be impossible to complete the challenge from Iceland. iacovone - thanks. Yeah the goings tough, the talent pool is too small and there's not enough tv/prize money so you just end up stagnating. Jazza - congratulations on getting out of the CL in 2 seasons Thumbs Up, and thanks for posting that just before mine thus completely rendering my point about its difficulty redundant Big Grin. ghostwriter - Your welcome . With Bellabas and Carioti I just kept things real simple like low creative freedom, short passing etc, team talks and media comments also help getting rubbish players to out perform themselves. It's funny though, Carioti was rated by my coaches as one of the best players at the club, 7 stars, although both are really struggling along with the rest of my team in the SL. On the player sales, they were all wanted by multiple clubs so teams seem to pay over the odds if there's competition for their signature. So what I did was transfer list them then offer them to all clubs at a high price but with 0 down and 24 monthly payments, if no one bids I just keep reducing the price a bit and re-offer until someone bites.

rlipscombe Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 thanks for your sympathy... it did come as a bit of a shock in the end. i hadn't been performing in the league,and we were below our pre-season predictions. we were also losing a lot of games. i had already written this season off, and i did feel that we would be able to bounce back next season once i had sorted out our tactics, which had been the major problem... our finances weren't great either, as we were about £500k in the red, mainly as a result of some pre-season transfer activity, but this was fairly under control. there weren't any major clues in the confidence either. although they were concerned about our league form & finances, the overall confidence wasn't too bad. it has however left me in a quandry - do i restart in Czech Republic, or do i try somewhere else. i was enjoying it, so am tempted to try again, but at the same time i am still a bit bitter about it... i have until tonight to decide, when i will start again...

Konquest Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 rlipscombe: You should try Croatia. It's a fun little league, there is a lot of talent and hidden gems and you'll be able to compete on the European Scene (i.e. actually winning a few games instead of being trashed -07 by an obscure side from Moldava)... Gundo: Thanks for the kind words. I knew that the reserve teams cannot get promoted. This year, Start 2 won the league, and the team in second place got promoted. I find that the limitation of having 4 homegrown players at all times can be quite hard, especially in the first season, as our depth is pretty inexistant right now.

iacovone Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Not done an update in a while, so here come 2 group stage results: Slavonija Champions League Update - 24/25 Group Stage Zenith (h) - This was a slightly trickier tie than I expected. After winning the opening game 2-1 away at Celtic, I expected a fairly comfortable home win here. However fair play to Zenith, they caused us problems and Barlecaj had to be alert in goal to keep them at bay. Sivertsen picked up the MOM. Dinamo Bucharest (a) - This was definitely easier than the scoreline suggests, we outplayed them but having said that they did look dangerous on the break. Lucic scored again (after scoring 4 in the league the week before) and he is starting to look as if he's peaking in his career. His stats are on the rise and he's scoring more regularly this season! . Barlecaj ended up as MOM. So the group looks like this at the halfway stage:<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> pld won drn lst pts Slavonija 3 3 0 0 9 Zenith 3 2 0 1 6 Celtic 3 1 0 2 3 Dinamo B 3 0 0 3 0</pre> Looks as if qualification will be a formality this year (and so it should be in this group) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundo Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Randaberg IL - 2016 Norwegian Tippeligaen End Of Season Report League Our league campaign went really well compared to last seasons debacle of a 6th place finish. We eventually secured the http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7481/lge2016mw2.jpg with a couple of games to spare. Stian Ringstad improved his form from the previous season and went on to be Randabergs top scorer again. We went unbeaten in the league from the half-way stage and didn't concede too many goals in the process. Norwegian Cup We had a great run in this years NM Cup which saw us dispatch a couple of top flight clubs along the way. The omens looked good as the holders of the cup (Randaberg) took to the field against Start. That and having a tag of being unbeaten in our previous 17 domestic games, you can kind of gage why I might of been confident. However heartbreak was to ensue as we got beat 0-1 by a weak Start team that played much of the game with ten men after having a player sent off with 30 minutes remaining. Many key players had off days and we only manages 8 shots. Gutted just gutted. Uefa Cup Having only got into this competition by winning the Norwegian Cup the previous season, not much was expected. And that turned into a reality as we crashed out at the First Round stage against Besiktas 4-7 on agg. The story of the tie; Well in short their two forwards where a different class and our defense got quite literally mullered. Other Randaberg News... Ringstad still won't sign a new deal, sighting; he is worried by the lack of managerial discipline at the club. He is willing to remain at the club, hopefully once discipline matter is resolved then he will. Myhre still wants out. However he still has two years remaining on his current deal, so atleast we have him for a little while longer. Ringstad and Myhre have a bust up!?! Ringstad states that he is unhappy with Myhre who he believes is disrupting harmony at the club. He is also unhappy with winger Robin, I think a major factor here is the fact that those two players (Myhre & Robin) only are the only two players that want to move to a bigger club. Good on ya Stian. Oh is that last bit alittle familiar NepentheZ? Next season; Win the league again, win the NM Cup and make the group stages of the Champions League. I'd be absolutely delighted if we can achieve those goals. The Randaberg Adventure So Far... 2016 Tippeligaen 1st. Champions! 2015 Tippeligaen 6th.

Never really tried that way of selling players but then again I have yet to have multiple teams interested in any of my players . They mainly all leave at the end of their contracts. In any case, it is not as if I could spend the money and the ridiculous prize money in Switzerland means that I can't foresee many financial problems (although at some stage my 600 capacity stadium will need a sigificant expansion). Anyway, I have got off to exactly the same start as last season; after 5 games, 4-0-1, we lost to the same club (Delemont) as well, although this time it was in the first game and tbf we were battered by them. They are top at the moment on GD above the 2 relegated SL clubs so maybe it was not that bad a result especially as I have made some reinforcements since. No goals conceded in the 4 victories which followed which is promising. I also appear to have stumbled across my 1st genuinely brilliant player, a 20yo AM/F C who my coaches think would be a decent signing in the SL and who scored our first 6 goals of the season (and had 7 after 4 games). My scouts found him and he signed after being released by Zurich. Lets hope he (and us) continue in a similar vein (ie. past Christmas this time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serbia's just next door so I'm still happy! Good luck there. Gundo superb to see you take the league again, here's to an even more successful season next year!

pjtopor Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 09/10 Midseason Update - Hetman Zamosc - Polish Second Division League Position - Champions! TABLE Polish FA Cup - 3rd Round The season ended pretty much as it began, with the mighty Hetman cruising to the second division title. The goals of Nowosielski and Kobierecki paced the team and indeed the finished as the top two in the Player of the Season poll. Of course, maybe it was just the brilliance of the Manager of the Season. A couple of high profile transfers, losing my top right winger and centerback put the balance sheet almost right, next season's TV money should do the rest of the trick. FINANCES For inquiring minds, here is mighty Hetman Zamosc. Next season will be a struggle. I still cannot attract players of much quality - though I can scout the whole region now. If we avoid relegation, I'll be absolutely elated. For the record, I'm loving Poland. Sure you can't attract any players, but short seasons and only 1 cup = fast playing. Hetman Zamosc 2008/2009 - Polish Second Division - 10th, FA Cup - 1st round 2009/2010 - Polish Second Division - 1st, FA Cup - 3rd round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
