That's a shame, but what a run that was !

S6 - September 2026/27 Ekstraklasa We are still unbeaten in the league and already have 9 point gap. Can we be invincible in our last season at Warta? Polish Cup Rotated team wins against 3rd tier Wisla Pulawy, another 3rd tier team Resovia in the next round. Champions League What a result against Chelsea ! Also happy with the draw against Real Sociedad. Shakhtar next, who has been thrashed 8-1 by Chelsea. Teams in European Competitions Wisla Krakow - 2nd in 25/26 Hmm, I thought they qualified to Conference but looks like they are in Europa League.. I misread the results. A 3-0 loss at home must hurt Cracovia Krakow - 3rd in 25/26 Knocked out in 4th Qualification round of Conference League Lechia Gdansk - 4th in 25/26 Knocked out in 3rd Qualification round of Conference League Rakow Czestochowa - 5th in 25/26 Knocked out in 3rd Qualification round of Conference League

Finances Our finances are very healthy I would say. Looks like next manager will have plenty to spend.

Transfer Window Ok, so we haven't went crazy and spent all the money that we have gathered, but still we have spend £40M which is a considerable amount for a polish team to spend. INs

Transfer Window. What a painful window !! we have lost our starting 3 mids and a striker ! some players I wanted to move on so that we would make space for some younger ones, but still. Outs Quite a lot of players left, however we have raked in over 130M, what a result. He developed into quite a good player, he wanted to leave last winter but stopped that. Didn't stay in his way this year as we have other options. We only had Barbosa for a season, but managed to get 5M profit on him, and he wasn't a starter last season. Oivind was a first choice rotation last season. I knew that we have better youths so decided to cash in on him. 6M profit Kacper was one of our best players in past seasons, however I prefered Soumare instead of him last season and he was kicking up a fuss. Decided to let him go as wanted to give other kids a chance. We bought Garri last season to be a backup LB, he wasn't playing really well, This is the first player that we have made a loss on. He was our first choice in the first two seasons we had him, last season he was more of a rotation player. he is already 28 so decided to let him go Really gutted to let Zeljko go He was our best wonderkid we had. We only managed to receive 24M for him, but this should have been at least double that. Ismail has been kicking up huge fuss about getting a transfer move. I decided to let him go and cash in. Mauro was developing really well since we had him, he was being better and better every season. but 28M profit on him is really decent Franco has been a rotation player for us most of the time. I don't think that he developed at all since we signed him so decided to get the little profit on him A bit gutted about Valeri as he didn't really want to leave, but other clubs met his release clause so had no other choice. We made a TINY profit on him

S6 - 2026/27 July & August Super Cup We have gave Zaglebie quite a beating in the super cup match and we make it 5 in the row now. Ekstraklasa What a couple of months ! we won all 6 games and only conceded 1 goal! It looks like the league is well and truly dominated by us b a mile. Champions League Yet again we managed to qualify to group stages ! It is really good for national Coefficients. We have been drawn from 3rd seed which is an improvement. I think we have quite a chance to get out from group stages into knockouts Teams in European Competitions We had 4 other teams and only one of them managed to get group stages and the one who had easiest path to get there. Wisla has fallen through to EL playoffs and got beaten by 1 goal to then qualify to ECL groups. Elsewhere, disappointing Wisla Krakow - 2nd in 25/26 Cracovia Krakow - 3rd in 25/26 Lechia Gdansk - 4th in 25/26 Rakow Czestochowa - 5th in 25/26

S6 - 2026/27 Season Preview Ekstraklasa We are firm favourites to win the league. The only problem is unsettled players in our team Board Expectations My Expectations League - Retain the title Cup - Retain the cup Super Cup - Not important but would be nice to win. Champions League - Get to group stages and battle for knockouts. Teams in European Competitions For the first time we have 5!! teams that are in qualification places. Warta Poznan - Champions League - 2nd Quali Round Wisla Krakow - Champions League - 1st Quali Round Cracovia Krakow - Conference League - 2nd Quali Round Lechia Gdansk - Conference League - 2nd Quali Round Rakow Czestochowa - Conference League - 2nd Quali Round

Decisions Decision Decisions I keep having a problem where I can't upgrade the youth facilities. For last 1.5 seasons, the options doesn't even appear in board requests. I am aware that this could potentially be due to all stadium expansions, or the board just don't want to be the best With my contract running out at the end of next season. I have decided that, if I will not be able to improve the youth facilities next season, I will not be renewing the contract, and moving on to a new club. If that happens, this does not mean that I will never return to Warta. I might do after a while. Warta is well established teamwise and financially that they should be able to get CL groups every season and also Win Ekstraklasa easily. We now need another team that will be able to challenge them and subsequently build more league reputation as now we are allowed 2 teams in CL.

Poland in European Competitions 25/26 National Team Unfortunately Poland didn't manage to qualify for 2026 WC I am waiting for Poland position to become available so that I can apply, but looks like i iwll have to wait few more seasons. Polish Teams in Europe Pogon Szczecin - 24/25 2nd Pogon has had a good run until 4th round where they lost agaisnt Partizan. They did beat Bate though. Slask Wroclaw - 24/25 3rd Slask did really well to qualify to group stages and also managed to get some coefficient point towards rankings. Jagiellonia Bialystok - 24/25 4th Jagiellonia have managed to get to 4th round this season around, where they were beaten by Belgian side. They still made progress comparing to last year. Coeff Updates Wow, we are 11th now in coeff rankings, We need one more place and we will have automatic group place entry ! Tracker

Another expansion incoming, but they don't want to invest in youth facilities.

S5 - Season review Yet again we complete domestic treble. We have dominated the league like never before and we managed to reach knockout of Champions League April - May 2026 Ektraklasa 29 !!!! point gap above 2nd place team and 135 goals scored !! this is just outrageous. Puchar Polski Again, very dominant performance in the cup, We have had few easy oponents until we reached semi final. European competitions For the first time this save, we have managed to get out of CL group stages into knockouts. The higghlights are definitly the wins against Bayern and Juve in the group stages. Records Best 11 Few best players this season. Tracker

Hello and welcome to my save. I had this idea of a save in my head for quite a while now, however I was still into my Sheffield save so thought I will do it in FM23. But yesterday my home team from Poland (Lech) have been thrashed 5:1 in CL qualifications against Qarabag Agdam. This is yet another year that Polish football will not be playing in Champions League. The League The last time that Polish team managed to qualify for group stages was in season 16/17, where Legia managed to qualify to groups and even finish third. For a time before that we would have to go back to season 96/97 !!!!! This is 20 long years of wait !! We do have teams sporadically qualifying to EL group stages, but even that is classed as a huge result within our nation. The Polish league is very specific. - We don't have dominant team, anyone can win with anyone pretty much. - Every year if any team manages to qualify to any group stage of any european competitions, they struggle badly in the league with playing every 3 days. 2 prime examples. Last year season 21/22 Legia played in EL groups and finished 10th in the league. Season before, 20/21, Lech played in EL groups and finished 11th in the league. But mostly teams can't even reach group stages and if any team does, it is counted as a huge achievement. - It is well packaged in TV, however the TV revenues are extremely low when comparing to other countries. In numbers is is about £60 mil which is shared across 18 teams in the league, to compare the lowest team in PL is probably getting more. - We have really nice stadium, thanks to hosting Euro2012 with Ukraine. - Any young player who can kick the ball straight or is fast runner is being sold abroad. The money from transfers is then somehow lost and no improvements are made, usually teams buy foreign cheap players who do not bring any extra quality to the teams or the league. But lets have a look at where Polish League stands in rankings: We are currently in 28th, however by looking at the packaging of our league, population of the country, stadium capacities and fans potential, I think we should be a lot higher. This is such an embarrassment that Polish team cannot even pass one opponent in CL qualifications. The Nation The national team is doing better, but only a bit better. We can never perform to our expectations of players that we have, Except in Euro 2016 and except previous generations, we have always choked on big competitions, last few years being a good example. We have one World class player in Lewandowski who is already 33. However he is not as clinical as in the club, probably due to quality of players that he has around him. We are currently 26th in the rankings, this is mainly due to our poor performances in big competitions. The problem here is also that we tend to win against smaller opponents and then lose against bigger opponents or teams with similar qualities. We don't have preferred style of play, every game is soooooo difficult to watch. The Save My idea of the save is quite simple and quite fun for myself. I will try and manage teams in Poland to the point where the facilities are going to be maxed out. After that I will be resigning at the end of the season and trying to find another job. In the meantime, if Poland job becomes available I will be applying. I have loaded quite a few nations to try and keep it realistic. Within Poland I have loaded leagues down to tier4. This is not a youth save, so I am not locking myself to youth only. I will be trying to raise teams and league reputation so that the teams can qualify to groups themselves. I don't know yet what team I will manage I guess you will find out soon enough PS. I will try to continue Sheffield save as there is unfinished business there, however it is parked atm.
