Viking Board Contact My Agent

--

Stuni Stuniverse: Hi Hedda, how you doing?

agent_Hedda_Berg.png.e123717573fef71ff6f18fb0266409a0.png

Hedda Berg: I'm good, thanks. Listen, I'll keep this quick as I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do, Viking Chairperson Thomas Ekren has been in contact. He wants to offer you a new contract.

Board_new-contract_01.png.a5a2e1863beb8dd9ea04f0b80f443287.png

Stuni Stuniverse: That's flattering, it really is, but I still have a year left on my current deal.

Hedda Berg: And what then?

Stuni Stuniverse: In 12 months... I don't know, it depends how things are going with Norway.

Hedda Berg: So, let me rephrase... are you going to step-down from the last year of your Viking contract to concentrate fully on Norway or are you going to honour the last year of your Viking deal?

Stuni Stuniverse: I think I'll see the season out with Viking.

Hedda Berg: And in 12 months time, will you want to stay at Viking and manage Viking and Norway?

Stuni Stuniverse: I don't know. Possibly. It's hard work but I still love it here at Viking.

Hedda Berg: And playing Devil's advocate, what if Viking don't offer you a new contract this time next year?

Stuni Stuniverse: Why wouldn't they?

Hedda Berg: Football can be funny and temperamental, as you well know, there's no guarantees.

Stuni Stuniverse: So, what are you saying?

Hedda Berg: I think, if you're genuinely not sure what to do this time next year, but you think you may want to stay at Viking, then you should probably strike while the Viking Board are very interested and sign a new contract. It'll give you greater stability.

Stuni Stuniverse: OK.

Hedda Berg: OK then. I'll speak to Thomas Ekren.

Stuni Stuniverse: Thanks, Hedda.

No issues with signing a new deal, doesn't prevent you from resigning at the end of the season if that's still your mind. While you're still getting along well doing both roles, including changing the manager picture for press conferences (I noticed, don't worry) then why stop now?

Once it becomes too much, then you can weigh up which role to continue in.

RE: Haaland. He came out of retirement specifically to 'meet a (un specified] target'. Now he's hit 150 caps, 125 goals, with no sign of him retiring again, I wonder what the game thinks the target is?

That's what I thought and, as I often say in job interviews, "I'm merely keeping my options open."

That's also what I thought and, if it doesn't work out at Norway and the NFF (Norges FotballForbund) sack me, then I still have the Viking job.

Oh, you spotted that did you, @BML... when I remember that is. :lol:

Until Next Time...

... we, possibly, begin our pre-season fixtures depending on the outcome of the League Path.

Norway don't have any scheduled World Cup Qualifiers until March.

Thoughts, comments, general feedback appreciated.

Any questions, just ask and I'll answer them if I can.

Thank you for reading and following... and I greatly appreciate the comments as that's what genuinely keeps me motivated to continue updating about this save.

Until next time...

Good to see you continuing with Viking for now......at least until they build a new stadium and name it after you!

I am currently playing my FM23 save (transferred to FM24) that started with Preston and went to Schalke04 and now to Crystal Palace in 2042! to keep me occupied. I will wait till next summer and FM25 to do another career update save.

Thanks, @Hootieleece

As I said to @BML the other day, I’m simply keeping my options open.

Although we could be in for some fun at Viking as I may have got carried away and signed too many players, certainly the squad will be bigger than the 25 players I can register for Eliteserien.

Bodø/Glimt Loan Hjertø-Dahl

Jens Hjertø-Dahl is a good player, who's very useful to have around the squad, but I've struggled to find him playing time during his two seasons at Viking.

Jens was becoming unhappy so, at this stage, we decided to accept Bodø/Glimt's loan offer.

Too Many Players! | Has Stuniverse gone mad?

--

We currently have 43 players in the Viking squad, which includes the players from last season, the 10 players we've just signed, and the players who had successful loan spells away last season.

Eliteserien Rules only permit the registration of 25 players and, unlike the Europrean Club Competitions, there is no allowance for U21 players.

Note: As the Viking First Team Squad is very big now, and will need some work, I'll post individual player profiles (by position) later on... (before I hit "Continue" in-game).

And that's the Viking Squad!

--

And that's the big first team squad we have at Viking going into the 2037 Eliteserien season - all 43 players! :idiot:

Much work to be done, particularly if I want to try and keep my best players happy.

But is now the time to cash-in on those over30s, who've served Viking very well, and move on to a younger, fresher team?

Or do I stick with them in pursuit of European Club Competition glory?

I wish Henrique Araújo had played for Viking at his peak but we did get two good seasons out of him and I told Henrique that he's welcome back at any time.

I'd say yes. I'd struggle with a squad of around 26-28. Usually I'll run with 22 and a few good prospects in the second team for emergency cover, cup appearances, etc.

I think it'll depend on how many (and which) players I can register for Eliteserien and  Champions League and go from there.

The Viking stalwarts will probably get to see out last season's Champions League campaign and then I'll need to start freshening things up as we move towards a younger squad.
