Sahaj Oberoi Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Hello everyone. I am starting a new save. The idea of this save is to consistently predict the course of every game we play and win trophies. Edited May 14 by Sahaj Oberoi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 NOTE: In this save the transfers will be done by the Director of Football. We are the new Portland Timbers manager. It is an exciting challenge here in the MLS. This is what the squad looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 2023: End of season update. We finished 12th in the MLS Supporters Shield but made it to the final of the US Cup and to the final of the MLS Western Conference. There is still a lot of work to do with this Portland team.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 We signed a bunch of players in the draft to fill the squad up. Hopefully we can do well this season. Eryk Williamson went to Al Wehda for 1.6 million pounds. Dario Zuparic went to Al Fayha for 1.6 million pounds. We are also in the North American Champions League so we will face Cruz Azul.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 I have a new job. And I am now the new manager of Aston Villa. This is what the squad looks like. At Portland we did a decent enough job to impress a club like Aston Villa. We took Portland Timbers to two cup finals, the US Cup final and the MLS Western Conference Final. We also left them in 5th place currently in the MLS Western Conference this season. We got knocked out of the US Cup, the Leagues Cup and the North American Champions Cup. We did make it to the semi finals of the North American Champions Cup this season. I sincerely hope that this is a start of a fresh era though at Aston Villa where we will go gung ho for all trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 December update (2024-25 season) Things are not quite going to plan at Aston Villa. We are fighting relegation in the league and we are 17th. We have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham and we are still in the Europa League and the FA Cup. The board has called us in for a meeting. Hopefully we don't get the sack too soon.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 After an ill fated spell at Aston Villa where I effectively jumped before I was pushed, I joined Almeria as their new manager. This is what the Almeria squad looks like. What went wrong at Villa? Honestly it felt like the owners had no faith in me and my players weren't buying into the attritional football I play. In my belief, if we cannot quite compete in the league we have to at least compete in the cups. We lacked a robust defense. On paper the team was good but in terms of executing my style of play, I felt that the owners could have had more faith in me and trusted the process a lot more. We left Aston Villa in 17th place in the league after getting 16 points from 19 games. The team are still in the Europa League and FA Cup so I hope for their sake they find a manager that can salvage their season. I was not happy at Aston Villa in the end, we were also a mess financially and here at Almeria, I have got a budget of 30 million pounds so I trust the director of football to ring in the changes and make some signings that will help us compete in the Copa del Rey. For me, league position is irrelevant and I just want to aim to win the cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Sacked by Almeria after just 3 games in charge. It is an absolute joke. I lasted 17 days in the job. We had a shocking game in the Copa del Rey and we got knocked out by a lower division side in Spain called Teruel. This left us with nothing to play for and I started applying for other jobs. The end of an error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 I have a new job. I am now the new manager of the Honduras National Team. This is what the squad looks like. Maybe this is the job I need. I'm very pleased to have landed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 We played 2 friendlies and we played the North American World Cup Qualifiers, we have qualified to the next round and we are one step closer to qualifying for the World Cup with Honduras. The next tournament is the Gold Cup and I will update you soon on how the Gold Cup went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 We got knocked out in the group stage of the Gold Cup with Honduras. It is disappointing but we move on to the next tournament. We have to aim to win tournaments no matter the quality of the squad, we have to fight and show some spirit. That is the most we can do. After a promising win against Curacao, a loss against Canada knocked us backwards and we then lost to Cuba. We have to fight to win at all costs.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 We have qualified for the World Cup playoff with Honduras. I am really proud of the team for achieving this. We are finally making progress with this team. We play El Salvador in the World Cup playoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 We beat El Salvador in the World Cup playoff semi final with Honduras. We ended up losing in the World Cup playoff final to DR Congo. It was a good experience. The players are buying into the work that I am putting into this team and it is very pleasing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 I quit the job of the Honduras National Team because there were no management offers to leave the job. So after nearly 2 years in charge, it was time for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Discontinuing this save and starting a new save. I honestly got bored. Another save that did not work out the way it was supposed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
