deez0r Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Transfers All signings up to Carr where made before my arrival. I can't believe a club of this size wasted £1m on Campbell. He is at best average. You have already seen the first couple of signings so will start after. Patricio is a loan signing from Juve. A fantastic player for our level and is already one of the best players in our team! Gadjimuradov comes in from Angers in France for 200k. 5 star potential and already good enough to start for us. Another smart signing! Petriccione is another loan signing from Italy coming in from Empoli. A solid player in the middle of the pitch where we didn't have much! Zouaoui is another loan signing coming from Marseille. He will be our best striker at the club and should run riot at this level. Hopefully fire us to some points in the Euro Cup! Boza will partner Zouaoui whilst we also try and get Lunney some time to develop in the league and smaller cups. Noce was a small risk. At only 13k he also has 4 star potential so at the very least we could potentially sell for a profit down the line. This is my favourite signing. Coming from Dortmund Hubert will be a fantastic signing. Will utilise him out wide as we are shorter there. He cost me half of what Campbell cost!

deez0r Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 August 2026 Results 100% in the league, most new signings where made just after these games, I am expecting a comfortable league win although I hope Larne push us. League Table The top 3 would be the 3 I expect to be there or thereabouts. Both ourselves and Larne with 100% records currently. Wee Jimbo Watch This is Wee Jimbo! He will be our set piece taker this season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 September 2026 Results Another solid month with just the one expected defeat! League Table We are 9 for 9 in the league with Larne our closest rivals and we have already beaten them comfortably away from home. Euro Cup We put up a great fight away at Wolfsburg scoring an impressive 3 goals. However they are just simply too good for us and deserved their victory. Wee Jimbo Wee Jimbo got off the mark in the comfortable win over Crusaders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) October 2026 Results An absolutely mental month where we played on average every 2.8 days! However it was a perfect month with plenty of rotation in those matches against much weaker opposition. League Table We have beaten Larne twice now and it is the only 2 games they have lost! I expect us to keep up this form in the league. We are comfortably the best side. Domestic Cups One of the things I love about NI is the amount of random cups! We played in 3 domestic cups this month, we have reached the quarter final of the Tunnocks Wafer Cup where we play Dunfermline. We play Larne in the semi final of the County Antrim Shield and have Portawdown in the Bet McLean Cup quarter finals. Euro Cup Wee Jimbo The wee man got 4 goals this month all from the spot taking him up to 5 for the season! Edited May 12, 2020 by deez0r 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheelf Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nice to see you back in N. Ireland , Linfield are loaded 💰💰💰 !! Have they had a takeover as that is quite a large balance if they haven't made it into the Champions League group stage. It always astounds me how poor the AI can be when it comes to squad building. Why do they restrict themselves to only buying from the UK which is the most expensive market when they could find much better value if they looked elsewhere like you have done. The team you have built looks really strong for the level which should enable you to win the DBP relatively easily. Btw, how's Distillery been doing?

deez0r Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Transfers Playing at this level it will be easy to bring a lot of foreigners in (which I will) but we also have to be careful that we meet European restrictions on home grown players. With that in mind I have brought 2 more young prospects in. Lowe comes in from Glenavon for only 10k. Really nice stats an potential for this level! Edgar comes in from our rivals Larne for 170k. A pacy full back with really nice mental stats! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool FC Manager Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I might be silly in asking this but have you ever managed Lisburn Distillery F.C.? If not, then go ffor that, if yes, how long ago in the game? If you have done well with them in the past then maybe go to another European lowest league and bring them up to UCL Glory. Or how about the worst club in Europe and bring them up to UCL Glory? Another option would be to create a club, and put them in place of the worst club in England, sack all the players and hire all players with the worst stats and start with little to no money in the bank. That would be a massive task right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool FC Manager Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 By the way, with Doncaster Rovers, i'm in the EPL I now have the players I want to hunt for EPL Glory. Of course if my scouts find a real gem, I will bring him in ASAP and sell the player in his position for a profit. No matter the club, even a rival. Yes, I'm still always checking on LFC but they seem to always finish top 3, 2nd or 3rd and Klopp has a contract till end of June 2026. I'm in September 2021.

deez0r Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 January Transfers Out We sold 4 players in the January transfer window. Parkhouse and Smyth were both squad players but nearly 30, so sold them on and got them off the wage budget. Taylor wasn't good enough and left on a free. Lyons started most of our games this season but was nearly 30 and 150k with sell on clauses as well is a nice chunk of money. In McConnachie comes in on loan from Rangers. we are pretty stacked up top but with some of them being utilised on the wings it can only help! Scopes comes in to replace Lyons. A good option!

deez0r Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 August 2027 Results A really solid return in our first month! League Table We sit top of the table. Our first team is good enough to challenge but any 3 or 4 injuries could really derail us and we have already had Gibbs out for 7 weeks and he is our main striker. Domestic Cups Out of the Carabao Cup with a heartbreaking 92nd minute goal by Gillingham. Transfers Most of these signings are squad fillers. The loans will be the main big players here.

deez0r Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 September 2027 Results An unbeaten month. We should have really beaten Notts County but equally we should have lost at Dulwich. With our main striker injured Alfie Anderson really stepped up in replacing him. League Table We sit 2nd in the league behind Oldham. An automatic promotion spot would be an amazing season for us! And with how quickly we are losing money again we probably need it. We are within our wage budget but leaking around 70k a month and we have 3 loans to pay off!

deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 October 2027 Results Another solid month. Mansfield we went down to 10 men and were dominating the game prior. Bradford were simply better than us on the day. We bounced back well at home to Plymouth with Kelly grabbing a hat trick and player of the month! League Table Still in the automatic promotion spots and we have a game in hand. We are still losing a lot of money a month. so a run in the FA Cup would be a massive bonus! Domestic Cups If we beat Aldershot we have a chance of progressing although I am not too worried about this competition!m In the FA Cup we have been drawn away to the team below us in the league in Notts County.

deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 November 2027 Results An up and down month of results. We could do with turning these draws into wins.

deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 December 2027 Results League Table Our game in hand has now been played and whilst we havent been overly consistent we have a 5pt buffer over 4th place. We are 2 points behind leaders Notts County but any type of promotion this year would be great. Domestic Cups As expected Sputs u23 team battered us but we managed to beat Dulwich to set up a 3rd round tie at home to Hull! Youth Intake Preview The 4 years or so I have been at Lowestoft we have yet to produce anything close to a first team player. Lets hope this wide midfielder can change that as its a position we are really short in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 FA Cup This is a big win for the club. We were down to 10 men bang on half time and it was still 0-0. Gibbs popped up with 2 massive goals for us and send us through to the 4th round. Thats a nice little amount for us and puts us back into the black! Also our biggest ever gates receipt!

Domestic Cups We are through to the 5th round at home to Sheff Wed in the FA Cup. The finances of this run has really helped the club. Transfers 3 players leave who havent played this season. Another 11k added to the finances and wages reduced. 2 players come in on loan. One winger and one striker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Former "Wonderkid" Signings Boro Part 1 Having a look back at the young players brought in at Boro and Chelsea lets see how they have progressed since I left the clubs! The Americans Flores is probably the standout player here. Having not gotten a work permit he ended up back in the US firstly at Minnesota and now at Atlanta. Worth over £4m he has 13 caps for the US. Bueno ended up back in the MLS with Vancouver before being traded to New York Red Bulls. Worth over £4m as well he hasn't got a cap for the US team yet. Wills spent 3 seasons on loan at Ituano before moving to Brazil permanently. He is in his 2nd season at SEP now! Jimenez joined Qarabag on a free from Boro and has been consistently scoring since. Surprisingly no caps for the senior national team! Pearson didn't really develop in the end and ended up back in the US with Texas. A mediocre player at MLS level! The Flops Karahasanovic I thought was going to our main signing when I first came in. How wrong I was. He has never kicked on and developed, going on loan a couple of times before joining Birmingham on a free this season. Kang was unfortunate as he got a bad injury early in his Boro career and was sold to Midtjylland soon after. Lefort came in with big potential but never fulfilled it and ended up moving to Hull for only 275k which is over a £3m loss! Broll was a risky one and it definitely backfired. Multiple loans and no development later he was sold to Heidenheim in the Bundesliga 2 for £375k. Toumagnon again hasn't really developed and moved to Porto for 250k and was immediately sent out on loan again. The Successes All 5 still at the club! Ghalem is a solid centre half but he hasn't developed to the levels I thought he would. He was consistently in the first team until this season. He is now transfer listed and has a value of £13m. Galves I am simply putting in here for the 2 great seasons he had under me. He is out on loan now at Vallecano but has been a solid servant. Verde wasn't really a wonderkid but he deserves to be here. He has over 10 goals in each PL season he has been there and a bargain at £5m. Hlozek has been a consistent first team player and is now valued over £25m! Millot was a big money signing and whilst he hasn't developed to a top quality player he is worth over £30m and has made over 30 appearances every season for the club. The Stars Bozovic is the biggest success story as expected. He was outstanding for Boro before Monaco bought him for nearly £40m (£30m profit). Now worth close to £50m and on 120k pw! Hafsteinsson was one of the first signings I made for £2.8m. He has developed a lot and is one of Boro's main players and is worth nearly £19m now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Former "Wonderkid" Signings Part 2 - Chelsea The Flops Buarque always had great physical qualities however the rest didn't really develop and he was sold to Atlanta for just £3.9m. Carroll is a debatable one however for the amount spent on him he hasn't really developed any further and has has poor seasons since I have left. To Be Determined Gaucho seems to be developing nicely having a successful loan in Portugal and now in France. Jonathan was meant to be the superstar signing however 2 major injuries seems to have stifled his development. Eduardo is developing nicely but really needs game time. Arancibia probably should be in the successes however at 54m he should have done more. Still time to be a success. Successes Mimi has developed into a top quality centre back and is one of Brazil's starting centre backs. Jimbodinho is a very solid keeper who surprisingly hasn't been called up to the senior team yet! He has won 2 CL's at Chelsea and is still their number 1. Naldinho has developed nicely and is also now in Brazil's starting team. Still Chelsea's starting right back Stars Frederico is an absolute world beater. For some reason they sold him to one of their big rivals in Man Utd for £96m! Caudeville was our main man in the full season I spent at Chelsea and it is no surprise that he is a global superstar now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
