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.
