Season 7 and 8 Review SC Westfalia Herne League Table Season 7 A decent midtable finish at 9th with 16 points to both promotion and relegation spot. In the DFB-Pokal we went out in the third round / eighth final against Hamburg. In the Verbandspokal we made it to the final fourth year in a row losing to Bielefeld. As they were also promoted to 2. Bundesliga we'll take their cup spot in the DFB-Pokal next season. Youth Intake Ostrowski and Hartel will take turns at the starting AML spot. League Table Season 8 A small improvement from last season finishing at 7th. We were even hanging to a promotion spot but 4 losses in last 7 matches saw us finish just outside the playoffs. With a win in the last match we would have placed 5th and claimed the playoff spot. In the DFB-Pokal we made it to the quarterfinal eventually losing to Leverkusen. Transfers Season 8 Out went both starting fullbacks in Ammen and Schuhen with 50 % of the next sale clause. Used the clause on Ammen in February which netted us 7.07M and should enable us to upgrade facilities a couple of times. On the winter deadline day Augsburg stole our best player and top goalscorer for the last 4 years Woitzyk. Board had renegotiated his contract as he wanted more than I could offer and had inserted a low minimum release clause. Our other natural strikers are all below par so we'll need to retrain our backup AMC and AMR from this years intake to STC and see what works. Youth Intake Season 8 Algermissen and Sabic will be new starters when they can be registered. Club Statistics after Season 8 Upgrades to training and youth facilities are ongoing. Season 9 Preview With Woitzyk gone we are missing a prolific striker now. Algermissen will be the new keeper in January when he can be registered.

Season 4, 5 and 6 Review SC Westfalia Herne League Table Season 4 The league performance went well above expectations and we were promoted as champions! In the Westfalenpokal there's been steady improvement every year and that continued this year as we made it into the final but lost to Preussen Münster playing in 3. Liga. Youth Intake Season 4 Good intake this year with 3 new starters in Rasic AMR, Sakar DC and Schuhen DL. Other There's been demand for the manager and even an offer for his services from 2. Bundesliga but needless to say we are here for life, or until sacked. League Table Season 5 A hot start to our Regionalliga career as we finished 4th behind 3 teams from Köln but 20 points behind the only promotion spot. We made a surprise entry into the DFB-Pokal as Münster were promoted to 2. Bundesliga as well so we took their Westfalenpokal spot. This cup run wasn't very long as we were drawn against a Bundesliga side in Heidenheim and went out in the first round. The financial gains from the cup appearance were welcome however as it was about 25% of our entire income this year. In the Westfalenpokal, another improvement like last year resulted us being cup champions and lifting the cup. Youth Intake Season 5 A potential Wonderkid in Ammen. Straight away our Top 3 player and has the whole of 1. and 2. Bundesliga interested in him. Have him signed until 2032, but likely won't sign a new deal so will have to sell him in 2031 summer window. League Table Season 6 Promotion to 3. Liga on goal difference! Promotion was all but guaranteed two matches before the ending as we were 6 points in the clear then and the goal difference was heavily in our favour. In the DFB-Pokal we lost again in the first round to a Bundesliga team, this time Dortmund. For the first time our stadium was sold out with 27,500 Dortmund fans filling the 32,000 seat stadium. Youth Intake Season 6 Nothing major. None will probably make the bench even next year. Club Statistics after Season 6 Some facilities upgrades and the club turning professional upon promotion. Season 7 Preview Again massive favorites relegation. Our starting XI should be fine to keep us up but behind them there's little quality. This year will be the last of our core together as there's 4 starters wanting to leave for bigger clubs or better squads and are thus unlikely to sign new deals.

Season 3 Review SC Westfalia Herne League Table First season in the fifth tier we were comfortably in the top half placing 6th but fifteen points behind the top four. Youth Intake On paper looks like an excellent intake but none are really improvements at the moment except for Sebastian Baier who will slide into starting left back position. Club icon and the only real life player left Al-Hazaimeh will move to centerback in what looks like last season here. Club Statistics Upgrades in Youth Recruitment and Junior Coaching this season. Bingo Card after Season 3 5/100 Season 4 Preview Pre-season odds are against us again, we'll see how it goes.

@Padders What's the transfer budget you are given usually? Must be a couple hundred million with that balance.

Season 2 Review SC Westfalia Herne League Table https://imgur.com/a/kXDFZFW This season we were dominant in Landesliga dropping only 9 points. At one point we were over 20 points over our expected points so a lot of luck was probably involved in the results. Youth Intake https://imgur.com/a/WqCJlEz Was pretty decent. There were new starters in the AMC and striker positions though the new striker turns 16 in October and can only be registered in the January transfer window. Club Statistics https://imgur.com/a/QPM9Z19 Bingo Card after season 2 https://imgur.com/a/S1V52Fe Season 3 Preview https://imgur.com/a/0IDzjlo The first season in Oberliga is bound to be difficult. We are massive favorites for relegation, but board is expecting a mid-table finish. Money is nowhere to be found and we are on negative balance even after sponsorship and season ticket payments.

Season 1 Review SC Westfalia Herne Ditched the Offenbach save and went proper lower league using the German lower league database. Enter SC Westfalia Herne in 6th tier Westphalia-League/Staffel 2. We started the season with only 11 players on amateur contracts. Managed to get 5 regen players under part-time contract but all the real players refused to negotiate a new contract. We lost one player in the summer window and another one in the winter window. Funnily enough there were contract offers for the 3 others as well even two tiers above us but they have been rejected so far. League Table https://imgur.com/a/ffvdDhL We came 2nd 3 points behind the winner Soest who were preseason favourites (1.01) for promotion. Lost both league matches against them so a win from one of these games might have gotten us promoted. Lost to them in the lower league cup as well.

The English schedule was beginning to feel too brutal as always so went for another team in my favourite FM country Germany. New go with Kickers Offenbach https://imgur.com/a/x5kSKRn

Decided to give my first go at this challenge in England with Gloucester City. Won the Vanarama North first year playing the base 4-2-3-1 gegenpressing. https://imgur.com/eqVUUrO Next season will probably be rough though. My starting striker has been unwilling to sign a new contract all year and now wants to move to a club with stronger squad. His backup and one of the starting centerbacks are retiring. The club captain is already unhappy about our left back depth and the starting left back wants to be a player-ass man which is not going to get. https://imgur.com/TazVNE1 Club statistics https://imgur.com/TazVNE1 Competitions https://imgur.com/P979NSx Player statistics https://imgur.com/ret5Y3n This dude from the 2024 intake was already one of my key players in the first year and Championship clubs have been sniffing around all year. He’ll soon start his senior contract and if he doesn’t want to sign a new one immediately I’ll probably have to sell him this summer for that 50% clause. https://imgur.com/xnz8CME
