We lost, but not by that much! Champions League incoming!

The stuff dreams are made of! We blasted them off the pitch! I don't even think I saw a highlight with an attack from FCK. This is crazy. We're going into the champions league. Our coefficient run might get from this, but we'll be financially secure for the future with the money.

We're through! It's gonna be at least Europa League again this season! It wasn't a beautiful match at all and our goalkeeper has turned to be worth every penny we spent on him this season. This is massive. We have Europa League once again, and with the playoffs I dont know if we can beat FCK, but we're much better than last season now, so anything can happen.

Win in San Marino Not the biggest margin. It could be a very tense outing in Kazakhstan. The winner is up against either Dundalk or FC København. FCK won 0-2 in Ireland, so it will probably be another meeting with the danish champions if we go through to the playoffs.

Four consecutive european group stages! Now it's only a matter what competition we'll be in. We have Astana in the next round. We should be better than them. Let's hope we can get to the CHampions League playoffs at least. It gives a few millions more than the europa league playoffs.

Win in Tallinn Almost through to the next round. The winner of this match goes up against Sheriff Tiraspol or Astana. Astana won the first match 0-1.

Win at home Just as expected we were better than them in San Marino. Even after the red card to our new backup player Gradit, Tsadjout kept scoring. He won't be doing that for much longer. We got a bid of 1,3M Euro for him, and he got mad that we brought in Slobodan Tetic, so now he's going away. Tetic was actually brought in to replace Alex Lopez who turns 31 soon, but it will be tsadjout who says his goodbyes first. I don't think Alex Lopez will be at the club when we reach then end of august though. Tetic is a much more complete player than Tsedjout. Tsedjout was actually brought in when we sold Tumminello in january, and now we've sold him for more money than Tumminello. He was never as good as Tumminello. Tetic is! We're up against Levadia Tallin in the next round of qualification. We should be guaranteed a win there, and then we'll already have Conference league secured.

We win in bulgaria A match that should never have been this exciting to watch! We went ahead and then gave it all away. Matias Palacios scored a dirct free kick to claim victory and with what we just saw, we better win at home.

Champions league draw: We were actually one of the seeded teams and ended up getting the bulgarian champions. We should be able to beat them, but it was not a lucky draw. The winner of this however is almost certain to be guaranteed a european group stage this season:

End of year improvements in Europe

We say goodbye to Ben Arfa. He was not registered for this season, and I just couldn't get myself to sack him. Good thing he didn't get to play at a lower level

On to the next season. We already have a new goalkeeper incoming, and Palacios is demanding a contract we can't afford right now.

NxGn We finally have some players on the NxGn list, or at least some of the are incoming transfers. I've tried my best to sign a lot of youngsters, so right now we're waiting for over 70 youngsters to come join us when they've turned 18. I'm trying to spend every bit of the transfer budget, so that we have lots of players for the future. The plan is to let almost everyone og out on loan for the first three or four seasons, and then all of a sudden we should have a team that would be capable of challenging for the Champions League. Meanwhile I'm gonna try and make the best of the transfermarket. If we can sign more players like Palacios for the first team, we're gonna be able to reach the group stages of the Champions League real soon. I don't mind being in the Europa League, or the Conference League for that matter, as the most important thing for us right now seems to be getting a higher national coefficient. The club coefficient will come as well. This season we we're seeded third in the Europa league, and depending on the clubs in the competition next season we might end up raching second seeding, which would make our chances of progression much more smooth. Enough of that. Let's get to NxGn: In second place we find Marc Aso who we're signing on a free in the summer of 2024: He's a decent talent who can cover up all positions in our midfield. I'm considering whether or not we will loan him out or keep him at the club. We need homegrown talent, and right now we only have José Mario at our squad who will be decent enough for the future, and will be homegrown in summer 2025. We might give Aso a season away on loan and then keep him, that way he can still be homegrown in the future, but it would be all the way in the summer of 2028. In 23rd place we find Guillermo Mena: Massive talent, and a future right back in our squad. Possibly a year away on loan and then we will integrate him into our squad to be homegrown in 2028. Squad registration has proven a big hindance in our european campaign as our width is non existent when we have injuries or suspensions. In 25th place we have Radovan Jevremovic: Promising centre back, who will be going out on loan to reach his potential. We've had succes with sending Andy Harwood out on loan this season and he is arguably our best left back now. I'm hoping the same will happen here. I think we're gonna keep lending Harwood out for a few more seasons. I've secured a long contract with him, and the prospect of him getting even better is tempting. I don't think he'll be proceeding as well right now in San Marino as our Training Facilities, staff and the general level of the league isn't good enough. I don't want to stall his progression, and in a few years we'll have a left back who could be competing at the highest level of football.

Our season's over Another bad match, mostly at the expense of lots of changes in january and injuries. We didn't have any offensive players on the bench and had to switch cevoli (san marinese half star player) in. OI haven't made a transfer update on what happened in january, but at the end of the window we got an injury for Francis our best right back and one of the best players at the club who would be out til May. I brought in Wague on a half year contract and I believe he has given away three penalties so far, within a month and a half. His contract won't be extended. The season is over in europe and we did well once again. PSV were simply much better, but we're getting there. In three-five seasons time we'll be beating PSV 4-1.

It's not looking good I might have been too optimistic thinking we could cause an upset here. They were all over us, and we didn't really stand a chance. There were no real highlights to our game.

We're through to the second round! Massive result in a match where everything once again went our way. We had some trouble in the buildup as we had lots of suspensions and injuries. Furthermore we sold more players than we could register in January, which results in our european squad being quite thin for now. A little detail is that we used our left back as a right winger. He has okay stats for that, and it was the only way we could field a team of players where we wouldn't have to use grey players in the starting 11. Great result! We have PSV Eindhoven in the next round. Not the worst draw. We could be able to cause an upset once more. This is going to be interesting.

Win away from home! Clinical performance from the players and we got a huge result ni a match we shouldn't have won, but we did!

Our biggest transfer so far! As I'm always keeping an eye on who is available on the transfer list all of a sudden Palacios became available. I'm thinking this is one of those chances we have to take, and we actually end up getting him though he is now our highest paid player by far. He initially wanted half a year contract, bu we made him agree to an optional extension. We're gonna have to try and extend his contract again very soon, but this is one of those transfers that will redeem the sale of Tumminello, and take us to a better level. Our central midfield is actually looking very good for now, so I'm thinking of using him as an inverted winger on the left side of the pitch. We do have Isma Cerro over there, but having played him for 2,5 seasons, we're getting to a point where we're not progressing further with him, and changes has to be made before we start to degress. 5,3M with all clauses activated. Lets hope he can become the star man for many seasons in this squad.

I've made a terrible mistake! I've sold Marco Tumminello, and we should have gotten a lot more for him. Udinese came up with about 950K euro and 50% of profits from next sale. He wanted away instantly, and it seemed like a good offer, but he was one of our three best players, and we could still make good use of him. I'm already regretting this a lot, and it will be a lesson for the future to keep a hold of our best players even though they might get frustrated. Eventually things will pass and they move on. He had two and a half years left on his contract to do that.

Few upgrades They don't want to upgrade the youth facilities though. It hasn't even been an option. That might take some time to get up to full capacity.

Dinamo Kyiv in the first knockout round

We end the group with a win Fairly even match, where they didn't get many chances and we more clinical than usual. Good way to end the group stages, and we get some more money from the win, which we'll spend in central defence once again.

We're through to the first knockout round of the Europa League We're stuck in second place now after a match we won easily against Tirol. After 15 minutes both Sociedad and Folgore had scored and we never looked back. Great result and fantastic with yet another progression from the Europa League Group Stages. We really shouldn't be above Braga, but we are!!
