[FM24] Polonia Warszawa - Czarne Koszule (Black Shirts)
DomD replied to DomD's topic in FM Career Updates
Polonia Warszawa Season 7 - 2029/30 - August (and a bit of September) The transfer window has shut again and it felt like the rich were raiding us. But we did get some players ourselves that should get us through the season, I hope. Mostly I'm worried that we don't have the squad depth that I would have liked. Champions League - The draw looks a bit tough. Transfers - There were some late moves for players that I thought I would get to keep. Namely Nkili, Tresoldi, and Piatkowski. I'm a bit worried now about the squad registration rules for the CL, because I lost some HGN and one HGC players. I'm really hoping that the players I brought in develop quickly and live up to the expectations that my scouts have for them. -

@mpm2342 Neil Smith is ridiculous! Too bad about the fickle personality. Have you had any luck changing those through mentoring? -

Polonia Warszawa Season 7 - 2029/30 - June-July This transfer window has been frustrating so far. But more on that in a moment. Expectations - These are the same as last season, I think. Even the budgets have remained almost the same. Profile - Reputation is now 4 stars. Results - A good start to the season as we won the Superpuchar for the 2nd year in a row and got our revenge on Zagłębie for knocking us out of the Cup last season. Winning this cup also put me at the top of ranking for best Polish managers. Ekstraklasa - The odds and media preview keep changing from having us 1st or 2nd. The win against Cracovia was great, but they were poor. We created the better chances against Legia, but couldn't get the 2nd goal for a win. Records - As I alluded to, it has been a crazy transfer window and we've been setting some records. Transfers - In order to avoid players throwing their toys out of the pram, I decided that I wouldn't try to convince anyone who wanted to leave that they should stay. Unfortunately I haven't been so lucky finding players that will improve our team while still fitting in our wage structure. Except for Jonathan Bravo, who looks like a great capture for us already. I had actually tried to sign him last season, but we couldn't come to an agreement and talks fell apart. But now he's here and looking like he will be our next star. The other two are youngsters that might break through to the first team in the future. Both are going back to the clubs that I got them from on loan for the season. Losing Emre Gokay, Geatano Oristanio, and Cyprian Popielec is going to hurt. It is also frustrating because I wanted to see how Popielec would develop for us and Gokay was an incredibly consistently good performer for us. The other frustrating part is seeing how much their values shot up when they left our club. This transfer business is clearly not done, as even the great Pep Guardiola is sniffing around one of our players. Attamah hasn't started the season very well, but clearly he has a ton of ability already and even more potential. I rejected their first offer which was somewhere around 10M. Fans - A few more shelled out for season tickets than last year. -

Although it is one of our league rivals, it is great to see another Polish club step up in Europe. This will certainly help keep our coefficient high and hopefully bump up the league reputation even more. -

Season 6 - 2028/29 - Transfer and Salary Spending Our transfer spending this season took a huge jump. I probably over paid for Hakim Zair, but he's still only 20 years old, so I'm hoping that I'll be vindicated on that one in a few seasons time. We're by far the top spenders in the Ekstraklasa now. But still have long way to go in the Champions League. -

Polonia Warszawa Season 6 - 2028/29 - Season Review This was a season where we consolidated our spot as the top club in Poland. We beat Legia all three times that we met them, once was in the Supercup. We also won against Lech both times. Cyprian Popielec established himself as a star in the team and the fans love him. I want him to stay at the club for years and become the heart of the team, but there is still interested from Saudi clubs and I have a feeling that I won't be able to hold on to him past this summer. Our players won many of the awards on offer. We have made some great memories this season. The finances are in good health. We are getting a new stadium. Not a huge improvement in terms of capacity, but hopefully the modern ground will attract more fans. Although if we play all of our CL games there we'll take a bit of a financial hit. -

Polonia Warszawa Season 6 - 2028/29 - April/May Another record setting season comes to an end. Unfortunately we were really unlucky (with a somewhat rotated side) against Piast. We tied the record for most points in a season, but couldn't beat it. I'll post about the records that we did get in the season review. -

Good luck in France! The Brazil angle is interesting. I also holidayed through the first season there today and the clubs that came up were: Fleury, US Granville, SC Toulon, and Les Herbiers VF. -

Thanks, I knew about the dates in the first post. I was wondering what was the method behind figuring them out. So that I could do that for some of the ones that are not there. -

Polonia Warszawa Season 6 - 2028/29 - CHAMPIONS We got revenge against the only club that beat us in the league so far this season. Then in a more cagey affair we clinched the title with 4 games to go. -

Is there an easy way to figure out what date to save it at to get different teams? Does it have to do with the end date of the lowest playable league? -

Anyone having a hard time picking a nation to play in, you could use this: https://www.the9llamas.com/llmpicker/llmpicker23-grey-llama/llmpicker23-grey-llama-all It will pick a team for you, just ignore that part and use the nation that the team was from. -

Doing a save in Finland also crossed my mind. I did a non-YAC save there many years ago and really enjoyed it. What is the contract issue in the lower Danish leagues? -

You'll probably see me here soon. I started another save that I didn't think would last as long as it has. But I'm starting to get tired of scouring scout reports, signing promising players, only for super wealthy clubs to force me to sell after only one good season for us. My last few saves have been in Poland, so I might try France, Croatia, or Denmark. Is Belgium still broken? -

Polonia Warszawa Season 6 - 2028/29 - March PSG were just too strong for us. Mbappe is still there along with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Jamal Musiala, and Xavi Simmons. We were lucky not to get blown away. In the league we're strolling. I played an almost fully rotated side against Śląsk and we still should have won. -

Interesting career so far. The choices you have made seem fairly realistic to me. I'm curious to see where you'll end up next.
