July Update We're top of the league. We dominated our friendlies. Nothing going on here. Season starts in September.

Staffing has gotten underway at all 3 Coca Cola clubs, and we're hiring with a vision for the future. With this being said, I've set a guideline for staff. No one over the age of 45 will be signed as a member of staff. We're hanging our hopes on coaches with high PA to guide us forward. After signing most of our candidates here is how the backroom staff looks now. Here is our HOYD, great personality. Here is our assistant. Hopefully he can be the first manager trained under the tutelage of LeBlanc. And one of our coaches. Icon of two different clubs. And here is our DOF. And our staff here looks like this, albeit without a goalkeeping coach. Another Professional HOYD. And a very decent Ass-Man for this level. He looks like he could be a decent manager, should he choose to go that route. And we have a pretty poor DOF. Almost no staff wants to be here, because we can only afford around 200 pounds per week for HOYD and Ass-Man roles.

The club starts with only 8 staff members, including LeBlanc. He has almost two dozen slots to fill with young coaches, as will be the Coca Cola way. The squad is decent, with plenty of young talent to work with. We will work on training them to become more versatile, and become better suited to our style of forward-thinking football. We've signed this lad on loan to be our striker for this season. The same thing with staff applies here, and to Aveiro. We will hire as young as we can, to hopefully hit on some potentially great staff members. For this level, it's a very good squad, and we also have plenty of great young talent that will be getting game time. Notably, Antonis Sotiriou and Shehu Ibrahim. The defensive midfielder will be staying in the 6 role in our 4-3-3 and will be featuring heavily. Shehu will be our #9 this season, hopefully bagging plenty of goals, but he also has some great playmaking to his game, so we're also training him as a winger. We have 0 staff at the club, so we know nothing about our players star wise. But I saw this kid sitting in our under 19's and I think he could be special. He's going to be our starting B2B this season. I could see him receiving a call up to Neuchatel very soon.

Just bought the in-game editor and decided to do a save with it. I want to build a Red Bull-esque system of clubs, under the brand of Coca Cola. I know, another drink brand so I am completely ripping off of Red Bull, but it was the first brand I thought of. Now, Red Bull's first foray into Europe was with RB Salzburg, so we're starting with a similar tier of nation, Switzerland. So, I've taken over Coca Cola Neuchâtel with our first manager. The second club that Red Bull took over in Europe, was a lower league German side, so I'm going with a lower league English side. This will be Coca Cola London, and we're replacing Dulwich Hamlet. The third club is a Portuguese club, in order to be able to get work permits for the other two clubs. This club will be replacing Beira-Mar, and it will be Coca Cola Aveiro. Off we go!

Season 2 Review We were drawn into a rough ECL group and we finished bottom, but we won our final match at APOEL to gain some coefficient points. We improve a whole 2.375 points from the previous year, all thanks to us and Dundalk. Our squad isn't big enough to do a European campaign and a league one, so we suffered. Updated list of nations completed: Madagascar, Reunion, Australia, Iran, India, Jordan, Palestine, Albania, Austria, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Latvia, North Macedonia, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Ukraine, USA.

Serbia and Bosnia will hopefully be finished as well.

I've played this season in about 4 hours, instant resulting all but the final 2 matches. I IR'd the games, not expecting this season to be much of anything. Then we went and did the double .

17th minute: A goal mouth scramble after a great Trent cross leads to Tapsoba clearing the ball off of Salah and it goes in . 1-0 Liverpool. 45th minute: A low driven cross from Hincapie lands on the boot of Schick and he dispatches for 1-1. 63-72nd minutes: A flurry of 3 goals in 9 minutes from Diaby, Keita and an Aranguiz penalty leads to 3-2 Leverkusen. However in the 86th minute, Darwin Nunez scores a close range volley from a Salah cross and it's 3-3!!! On to added time we go. A red card for a two footed lunge in the 115th minute!!! Leverkusen are down to ten men!! 118th minute: After minutes of pressure from Liverpool and about a 30 second highlight of crosses coming in non-stop, Tapsoba finally clears. The ball finds its way to Diaby, who runs into the box and wins a penalty!! Sardar Azmoun SCORES!!! 4-3!!!

The 11s are out, the form is inconsistent for both sides, and Anna Meybodi has no clue what they're talking about. He's 100/100 on fitness and sharpness.

11th minute: Florian Wirtz plays through Sardar Azmoun and he scores !!! 1-0 Leverkusen! 13th minute: Only two minutes later Azmoun scores his second from an indirect freekick!! 2-0 Leverkusen!! 44th minute: Diaby runs wide with the ball and crosses deep to the edge of the area and Palacios scores an incredible volley! 3-0 to the good guys! At half time academy prospect Spilotis comes on for the injured Callum Hudson-Odoi. 70th minute: Charles Aranguiz sends in a corner. It's only cleared as far as the edge of the box, and they play it back to him and he scores!! 81st minute: Azmoun completes his hattrick with a chipped goal in the 1 on 1! 90th minute: Right as we make our subs to kill the game Konighaus goes through on goal and scores! 5-1 Leverkusen. Up next is the CL final vs. Liverpool!

5th place is really poor, but we've been rotating for a while. Two cup finals up next, the first of which is the DFB Pokal final against Mainz.

Note we just beat his team 1-0 in the home leg. Away leg is up now. The luck has been insane this season.

We could genuinely beat any side in the world right now.

Leg one to us. We foul so much, we're going to have so many players suspended for the next round.

????

This season has been so baffling. How are we so good???

Not sure how we've beaten them with a very weak side. They have Haaland ffs.

A very poor start to life in the Bundesliga, but we're through to face City in the CL. We're definitely losing to City, and I worry we won't get a CL place next year. This is looking all Neverkusen.

Jonathan Tah leaves, so we had to bring in a CB.

This is a very good side, I'm aiming for this to take less than 5 years, so I can get off to a good start. Going for the typically bat-**** insane Nearly Men tactic.

I needed another save to run along my Finn Harps save, so I'm back to the nearly men challenge. As everyone knows, it's the save that never ends. I wanted a clean restart of the save, so I've started a new save, and I'm using the workshop database that uses the old CL format. I've spun a wheel to decide which club I will use, and as a reminder here are the 20 eligible teams at the start of the save. And Leverkusen is the club we're using. And it begins!

We've signed a much needed new goalkeeper. Won't tick off a nation, but we will hopefully make some serious profit on him. Hoping to tick off Burundi & South Sudan with these two guys.

More after just 2 days.
