May 

May saw us lift the trophy following a 5-1 dismantling of FA 2000. We will heavily rotate the side for the last few fixtures so expect some points being dropped

OLE OLE OLE 

Ronald Van Koopermiester wins his first trophy of his career after leading SfB-Oure FA to the 3.Division in Denmark. 

The club will play in the 3rd division (2.Division) for the second time in history next season 

We have dominated this campaign, breaking the league record for most wins in a season

April 

April saw the league split into the promotion and relegation phase, thankfully the points don't get halved, so despite no longer facing the bottom six 

we are still cruising toward a league title and promotion to the third division.

Poaching Season 

One of the main reasons of our good fortune this season is my act of poaching top players of other clubs

there are some players that haven't even played for me, but when they get paid 0$, it makes sense to weaken the opposition 

The biggest coup however is the signing of Skjellerup. He is the league's top goal scorer and has been carrying our rivals 

Aarhus. He didn't consider speaking to me all season, until for now. He's already scored on his debut, and he'll guarantee us the title.

Aarhus's starting striker now is a 16 year old newgan, who in fairness has bagged 3 goals in 4 games.

Another benefit of the 0$ contracts is that whenever a bench player kicks up a fuss they immediately get the sack

December - March 

We restarted the league with 4 wins out of 4, and guaranteed qualification to the promotion group

November 

Our great form continues, we remain top and lost only one game, due to getting a red card in the first half and giving away a needless penalty in the second.  

Due to the harsh Danish winters, the Winter break will last until late February, which is when we will return

Licensed! 

We bag a national C licence to get us some much needed paperwork, the board rejected the next one due to lack of funds, for context we are 27K in the red

October 

A great month where we only dropped points once sees us top of the table

September 

A loss on penalties cuts our cup run short, and we get our first loss of the campaign due to getting FMd by Holbaek

August 

A good start to the season saw us demolish lower side Korup 7-0 in the First round of the Danish Cup, followed by two wins out of 3 in the league. 

I won't bother with showing transfers as everyone is on an amateur contract and the turnover is high

The squad

Everybody is on an amateur contract, our transfer activity will be restricted to try and poach the media dream eleven and kill off the competition

Putting the Journey in Journeyman

Dazzling in Denmark 

After a grueling few months, we land a job in the Danish fourth division. With a full preseason and a fresh start, Our Dutchman is hoping he can stave off the relegation battle and start building his career

I forgot to take a screenshot of the club overview, but they are predicted to finish 2nd in the division, which is an automatic promotion spot

 

[[FM23+] Sometimes It Doesn't Need A Fancy Title....British & Irish Steel Challenge [26/42] - Part XVII - Motherwell FC [Break]]

Binged this over the past few days, great series! and I love the presentation of everything 

[Ideas for new challenges]

I came up with this idea a couple of years ago and attempted it but stopped after one season. I plan to return to it and do it eventually. 

 

- The United Nations Challenge 

1. Start with a club with the lowest possible tier in your country of choice 

2. Your end goal is to win the League title, and the Champions League 

3. On this journey, you must use a player from EVERY SINGLE FIFA NATION 

4. Player must have made 5 league appearances for your club to count 

5. Players with second nationalities count, as long as they don't play for any NT of the first Nation. For example a German with Syrian second nationality can count for Syria, as long as he never plays a game for any German NT, if he does you must remove that country and find someone else. 

6. You must win the CL only after having every country ticked off, if you win it before, you have to do it again once you've finished the main challange. 

 

It's incredibly difficult, mainly because the bottom 100 nations have like no serviceable players even at the lower leagues of European nations. Also, the foreign rules and work permit rules complicate things, nonetheless I think it could be a very fun challenge to complete

What's next

We announce our intention to step down at the end of the season. The loan rules combined with work permit rules in Wales are too restricting, and the club is losing all their players. They also refused to send me on a Coaching course, so the time has come to leave.

STAYING UP! 

A 1-0 victory is enough to keep us in the league and send Flint Town down despite them beating Airbus.

Bottled It? 

After taking the lead. we give away a stupid penalty to let them back in it before conceding a late winner. 

Elsewhere in the league, Airbus got a vital 3 points and is now in the driver's seat. One point from our final game would be enough or a draw between Airbus and Flint Town

THE RUN IN 

WE FM Haverfordwest with our keeper saving 9 shots on target. A vital three points, but there is some bad news to come with it. Club top goal scorer Danny Williams got injured, and will have to play next game with injections 

before missing the final game of the season. Elsewhere in the league. Flint town get a point and are ahead on GD, meaning should we match their result next week and they manage to beat Airbus on the final day, we could still go down

March 

A win and a loss, survival isn't guaranteed as the two sides play each other on the final day. We need 3 points from our final 3 games to have a chance at survival.

A Loan signing was made to replace the recalled Jones, he isn't a like for like replacement but he's was the best option on the market

February 

A crucial win was followed by two disappointing defeats. Both times we were equal on XG but they finished their chances while we couldn't 

  

We were knocked out of the Cup by Airbus, while we played our second string. They managed to grab two wins in the league, including one over Flint Town, and are making a late charge for avoiding relegation 

 

 

UP Next 

Two season-deciding games against Flint Town and Airbus, win them and odds are we avoid getting relegated for the second time in our career.

Despite being our best player since joining, Dan Jones kicked up a fuss and was recalled for being played out of position. A huge blow for our survival chances

January 

Two disappointing defeats against our relegation rival sandwiched a cup win, before recovering against bottom-of-the-table Airbus.
