ToMexico!!

September 2027 This month took ages to play, largely down to the fact I did a lot of manual scouting around Africa to try and find the next Manjate. An Ortiz double sunk Dila at the start of the month before we played our first group stage fixture in the Europa League. We travelled to Turkey to face Basaksehir, a short-ish journey saw our 76 travelling fans witness a poor display and a 2-0 loss to boot. A rotated side beat Lokomotivi 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Davitashvili. A full strength side faced Saburtalo in the cup Quarter Final and won comfortably enough. A shock 2-1 loss to lowly Torpedo made it three losses so far this season, Musikiri's goal a mere consolation. We then travelled to Austria to face Sturm Graz, Ortiz got us off to a flyer in the 6th minute and Pilia added a second before half time. We had more chances in the second half to add to our goal tally but failed to do so. Georgian national Zivzivadze netted a 91st minute consolation. Delighted to pick up three points for the 16 travelling fans. We were actually crowned Champions without kicking a ball before the Torpedo game, maybe that impacted the result. Seven games remain. 21st after two games. We face Tottenham next, who are two from two. The win over Sturm Graz basically paid for the Training Facility improvements.

September 2027 Decided to put the Manjate sale money to use whilst we have it in the bank.

September 2027 - Major Sale A player I didn't want to sell but had pre-emptively signed Biloshevskyi earlier in the season to ease the blow of the inevitable. An initial £1.8m plus £650k after 1 International Appearance, which will happen soon because he already has five Mozambique caps. We've loaned him back until the end of the season which softens the blow further and we have a friendly to arrange and will get 30% of any profit from the next sale. He immediately becomes worth £31m to £47m. His former club Ferraviario de Lichinga get 10% of the profit as part of the deal that brought him to our club.

August 2027 Another really busy month. We got it under way in Sweden against Malmo, Martinez rescued a draw and a crucial away goal to take home. It was the other Paraguayan that put Malmo to the sword at home as Ortiz scored twice to send us into the Europa League Play-off against Bosnia's Zrinjski. Either side of that result we scored three goals in each game against Saburtalo and Batumi. At home first in the Play-Off against Zrinjski and a 2-1 win. We then rotated against Samgurali and lost our first league game in 33 matches but they were 2nd and we had our second string out. We returned to full strength in Bosnia and scored early, cancelling out their away goal. They hit back twice to send the game into extra time and thats where the rotation came in, we scored twice in extra time to win the tie 3-2 on the night and 5-3 overall to advance to the group stages of the Europa League. At most I think six points could be achieved. We then lost, again, in the league, this time to Sioni who were 9th. New items flashing up that I would be facing an inquest into that loss. Not that we're 20+ points ahead and into the Europa League Group Stage. We ended the month with a big win voer Liakhvi in the cup, Davitashvili scoring four. 20 points clear of Samgurali with 10 games remaining. £3m for reaching the group stage and just over £300k in gate receipts.

July 2027 A really busy month with Champions League qualifying added in. In the league we were back to five wins on the bounce, although the wins weren't as forthcoming as I would have liked due to the rotational needed for the European games until we smashed Martvili at the end of the month, Davitashvili netting a hattrick. In the Champions League we played away against Buducnost first and felt a draw would have been an ideal result. We fell behind as early as the 2nd minute but then found ourselves 3-1 up at half-time, a late consolation goal them made things nervy. In the reverse fixture, just under a capacity crowd witnessed a twin Paraguayan dsiaply where Ortiz netted a hattrick, we went through 7-4 on aggregate. We already knew our 2nd Round opponents Rakow, a much better side on paper. At home first, Rakow took the lead in the 54th minute only for us to equalise just two minutes later through Ortiz, a late sending off for Rakow but we couldn't capitalise. Away in Poland, we actually took the lead through Pilia but a more dominant display from our Polish counterparts saw them over the line with a 2-1 win on the day and a 3-2 aggregate scoreline. We drop down into the Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round where we will face Swedish side Malmo. Still unbeaten and now a huge 23 points clear of second placed Dinamo Batumi. Some profit this month thanks to prize money and a £350k in gate receipts.

June 2027 A quieter month but with added colour. Comfortable 2-0 home win over Samgurali. Then disaster, a 0-0 draw with Dinamo Batumi, we even had a goal disallowed. Full rotation in the cup against Spaeri, we welcomed back Musikiri from injury and he delivered the winner in the second half. Back to full strength against Sioni including Musikiri, 4-1 hammering. Still 14 points clear due to drawing with 2nd place. One player left this month, Thibaut Aubertin was complaining about game time, his deal was due to end in December, he form was patchy and Mali had overtaken him to first choice RB. Casa Sports offered £24k and I decided to take it. Still declining but we have European competition starting in July, we could recoup some money.

June 2027 - Champions League Draw A tough opening round fixture against Buducnost of Montenegro. If we get through we faced Polish side Rakow in the 2nd Qualifying Round.

May 2027 The green continues to flow, we're not really being trouble too much. We opened the month with a big win over Lokomitivi, Martinez notching a 2nd half hattrick. We were slightly troubles against Torpedo, although Kutsia's 84th minute goal was to make it 3-1. Martvilli were pummelled, Arabidze coming into the fray with two goals. We rotated all but the twin Paraguayan's for the cup game against Hereti Lagodekhi, Ortiz struck four goals. Back to full strength against Dinamo Tbilisi, our right back Nikoloz Mali who we signed from our oppostion came back to haunt them by assisting all three goals. We closed the month out against Saburtalo, a cagey 1-0 win where we had a goal disallowed but had restricted them to just four shots on goal in the game. We edge further clear to a 14 point gap. Nice to see Dinamo Tblisi are resurgant this season. The facility improvement has taken a chunk of money out this month.

May 2027 - Facilities Took a gamble on how much it would cost us to improve the youth facilities. £277k is a fair chunk still but manageable.

May 2027 - Jorge Manjate The dreaded wanted sign has appeared on star defender Jorge Manjate. He's been brilliant since joining at the beginning of 2026 for just £26k from Mozambican side Ferroviario de Lichinga. The clubs interested.... PSG Porto Ideally I would want him to join a lesser side in Germany or Portugal then he moves onto a much bigger club if possible.

Good luck with this and good start. I wonder how much travel costs will impact you through the save?

April 2027 A sea of green. Four away matches on the bounce instead this month. A nervy 1-0 win over Samgurali which should have been more, we restricted them to no shots on target which was nice. A fully rotated outfield 10 for the cup game against Salkhino, an easy 3-0 win. We travelled back to Martvili days later full strength and won 4-0, the front three all getting in on the action. A small break in proceedings allowed us to rest and then demolish Sioni 4-1. A week later and back at home, 3200 turn up to see us coast past Dila, 2-0. Nine games in and nine wins, we're 11 points clear already which seems utterly bizarre already. Some decrease this month due to all the away games.

Thanks @kidthekid

Thanks @dsousa96 Yeah i'm not keen on a season being within a calendar year especially as European games will spread across two seasons. Domestically its began to feel a little dominant but thats expected as we look to improve in Europe moreso.

March 2027 - Poached The games may be over for the month but the poaching isn't. A second poaching by Sioni this month alone. As you can see here, Sioni have the same repuation as us at the moment. I fully expect to be at the top in the next season or two and domestic poachings could cease and once players coming into our youth ranks become better we could see clubs from Europe begin poaching. Thats the aim anyway.

Thanks @Mr Jabay a full capacity for a friendly was unexpected but tickets must have been cheap. Look like we'll settled around 3500 per home game this season in the league. Although we had four home games from five this month, gate receipts have increased tremendously, as to has the corporate and match day income.

March 2027 Five games and five wins. We're now on a 14 game winning streak in the league. We started at home and attracted 3545 for our first league game in the new stadium, they witnessed a reserved 2-0 win. We picked up the mantle away at Lokomotivili, Musikiri with his second double of the season and Martinez ended a 10 hour barren spell in front of goal. Three more home games within a week, first, Dinamo Tbslisi dispatched 5-1 with another Musikiri brace. We rotated for Saburtalo although they were 2nd in the league at the time. Arabidze starting his first game and got his first goal for the club. Back to full strength for Dinamo Batumi, 3-0 winners, comfortable in the end, Martinez's double sealing the game late on. Five points clear already, only unbeaten side in the league. We spent big, in relative terms in the summer but we still have a very healthy balance.

March 2027 - Poached A second player poached and a second not very good one judging by those stars.

March 2027 - Youth Recruitment The board needed convincing but we got there in the end.

February 2027 - Pre-Season Still over a month remaining in the transfer window but lets take a look at who we've signed by the end of pre-season. A further six players join for a combined £685k, all from within Georgia and Georgian nationality. 17 year old Guja Metreveli joined first from Lokomotivili Tbilisi for £75k, he played 32 times for the Lokomotivili first team last season as they were promoted back to the Georgian National League. He will be given some game time in the league and cup this season. I then signed another youngster from another Tbilisi side, Dinamo. Giorgi Pilia was on my radar but they wanted far too much previously and we didn't have the money anyway. He joins for £250k and is primarily suited to AMC but he will operate in the MCa slot for us. We then signed experience centre back Nika Chanturia on a free transfer after his release from Sioni, he will rotate in on occasion. Tsotne Nadaraia also joined from Sioni for £45k rising to £54k, the 30 year old left back will rotate with our other left back in the squad. We then opted to sign Davit Kiknadze from Saburtalo for £215k rising to £325k. The younger centre back will be first choice alongside Manjate in the heart of our defence. Last to join at the moment was Giorgi Arabidze for £100k from rivals Torpedo Kutaisi, he's our new option for up front, he will allow for some more rotation in attacking areas. So we've signed three centre backs, a left back, a central midfielder and a striker. We still have two foreign player spots available to fill if the right player becomes available. An easy selection of opponents for pre-season culminating in a 5-1 thrashing of Dinamo Batumi in the Georgian Super Cup. Our new stadium getting its first competitive match and selling out immediately.

Thanks, we're coming along nicely. The club is developing on and off the field now which is great to see.

January 2027 - Relocation Compelte

January 2027 - Early Business Outs We released 10 players all in all from various age groups but the three above are from the first team. So we're now a striker, goalkeeper and centre back light and we also have Otavio leaving meaning we're actaully two centre backs light. Ins Two players have joined so far. Nikoloz Mali on a free from Dinamo Tbilisi, he comes into the defence at RB to offer cover and experience, freeing up Kutsia to play a more prominant role at DM. The other player to join is Ndongo Diop, a 22 year old Senegalese goalkeeper from US Goree for a release fee of £99k. I've had Diop on an African gems shortlist for best part of three seasons but had always felt that using a foreign player slot at GK wasn't wise at the time when we had two home-grown talents. At nearly 2m tall, his towering goalkeeper description seems very fitting and comes in as number one between the sticks. Looking at the squad right now we need in order of priority; Starting LB (to replace/rotate with youth player Tkemeladze) Starting CB (to replace the departing Otavio) Back up CB (to replace the already departed Mvula) Back up ST (to replace the departed Gogolashvili) Back up ST (preferably home grown) Back up CM (rotational CM) We have two foreign spots available for six players that we need. Lets see what we can conjour up.

2026 Season Review Back-to-back league wins as we retain the title in commanding fashion by finishing the season a full 23 points ahead of second placed Dinamo Batumi. We set new league records for wins (28), points (88) and goals scored (101). We scored an average 2.8 goals per game which is very good but I feel it can and will be improved upon in the seasons to come. We did concede 33 which feels far too many considering 3rd placed Kutaisi conceded just 25 and even 5th placed Samgurali only conceded 29 but their scoring rate at the other end was barely over one goal per game. We made it a league and cup double for the first time by winning the Davit Kipriani's Cup. We beat Tbilisi-2016, Voiazhi, Tskhinvali-2, Saburtalo, Dinamo Tbilisi and Khikhani en route to the final against Torpedo Kt. A late extra time winner from Tsulaia sealing the victory. In Europe, we started in the Champions League Qualifying, beating Welsh side TNS (7-3agg) and Maribor of Slovenia (3-1 agg) before being knocked out by Red Star Belgrade (6-5 agg). We dropped down into the Europa League Play-Off with a chance of reaching the group stage, we faced Maribor again, this time failing to make the grade and losing 4-3 on aggregate. However, that loss meant we dropped down once more in the Conference League, league. We managed two wins over Steaua Bucherest and Pyunik, achieving six points and finishing the group stage in 25th place overall, level on points with Fenerbahce. On the pitch with the tremendous season for goals it meant some players really filled their boots. Gustavo Ortiz netted 33 goals in a debut season in Georgia and also created 15 goals for his playing partners, his form through the season earning him a call up to the Paraguay senior national team where he played three times. His Paraguayn compatriote, Diosnel Martinez scored 25 goals and made a huge 27 assists for his teammates. Sandwiched between them was Zuriko Davitashvili, he scored 30 goals playing in a mixture of pressing forward or central midfield attack, he also managed 18 assists. Luke Musikiri also filled in at pressing forward and did well, netting 21 goals. Table showing top seven appearance makers, goalscorers and assist makers since the save began. Jorge Manjate had an excellent debut season in defence, the now Mozambican international was a commanding figure winning 94% of his aerial duels and winning possession an average 24 times per 90 minutes. His defensive partner Jose Otavio also had a good season but wangled a move back to his homeland Brazil. He had stated his would not be renewing his contract, I offered him out and he's joining Brazilian Second Division side AMG in the Belo Horizonte region. We will get £225k plus 20% profit and a friendly in exchange. We're in a much better place financially now thanks to the Conference League group stage appearance. We netted £3.47m alone from that competition in a total prize pot of £4.6m with £250k from the Champions League and £325k from the Europa League. We can now look to improve the clubs infrastructure further having already made one improvement to the junior coaching.

December 2026 Three games to end the season. We play in and win our first Davit Kipriani's Cup Final, albeit in extra time against Torpedo Kutaisi. Temur Tsulaia possibly earning himself a one-year contract extension having scored the winner in the 119th minute. Two European games, a comfortable and expected three points against Armenian side Pyunik, Tsulaia with both of those goals too. We ended on a slightly sour note, losing our last competitive game of the season away in Greece to AEK, although that being said it was a close game as the scoreline suggests. The win over Pyunik gave us an extra £431k in prize money which helps nicely.
