Congrats, still envious of those completing the challenge in England I just can’t face the grind so really well done

THE JAZZ SURPRISE EVERYONE WITH PLAY-OFF PROMOTION Squad Overview Youth Overview More Youth Details Youth Intake Preview Youth Intake Top 5 Season Review Next Season Aims Previous Season Summaries Appointment

Good luck flying the flag for Northern Ireland. I wish it were possible to leave the spfl trust trophy as it’s madness having to play that many games in a season. My Finnish save I’ve just started I’ve just about got to the end of the first season with 27 league games and about 8 cup games.

When I deal with buying clubs I often don't keep trying for the end of season, may do it the first negotiation then not again (I usually only persist with the up front money and %age of next sale)

Good effort with the transfer at end of the season, I try that and usually the buying club won’t go for it, must try harder

Limavady United and Northern Ireland..... Losing my top players 3 years running and the excessive fixture list just makes this one I need to park (most likely I won't return), just burnt out and not really enjoying it anymore. Time for a total change of pace......Finland and FC Jazz 12,300 capacity stadium adequate training facilities adequate youth facilities adequate junior coaching average youth development £438k in the bank 24 players in main squad 11 players in under 18s 27 games in the second tier and a single cup (bliss compared to Northern Ireland) Interesting to see how things will work in Europe given the league runs from April to December (First Division Cup starts late January) Here are my first kits:

Next Season Aims Domestic dominance fully asserted Keep the key players this season Keep an eye out for 4 star rating staff members as my club rep has increased there may be a few that sneak in This aged well: The two key players from my season 11 infogram have both been poached by Porto a month apart. To be honest my squad is falling apart at the seams, lots of players wanting to move to a bigger club, more ambitious club or stronger squad (I guess making the group stage of champions league 3 out of 4 times isn't good enough). EDIT: I should call out that Martin has a 50% of next transfer profit and Curran 40% (I had to do Curran at £1.9m as he had a £2m release clause which would have meant no sell on clause)

Hope you get better soon

1) stay away from Northern Ireland as I played in 7 different competitions in my last season and it’s taking ages 2) i enjoyed my Malta save before FM 23 came out, and Puerto Rico was fun before I found issues with the nation rules I think you feel more connection with small nation teams from a big continent, so Andorra, Gibraltar, Faroe Islands, Malta etc. all have a chance of feeling a real connection with the team. For me with Northern Ireland it’s nice to see the national team improve with a few of my current players and a couple of sold players making a difference.

I'm a bit late to the party but congratulations @leyrtj

Only 75 Northern Irish Cup 5 North West Senior Cup 4 Bet Mclean Cup 5 Danske Bank Premiership 38 SPFL Trust 5 Champions League 8 Europa League 10 Total 75 My first choice keeper played in 72 of these and missed the other 3 due to international duty. Two of my first team players who have been with me since the first intake are only 1.5 star current ability but I've kept them around because they are pretty reliable and versatile to provide backup when needed ..................... they each had 47 appearances this season (albeit many were substitute appearances) It's the main reason the save is taking so long, I wish I could just not compete in the North West Senior Cup (sounds like a retirement home competition) and the SPFL Trust Trohpy is another I'd love to skip. Turning pro helped massively this year especially as I was able to get a head of sports science and a sports scientist so the players weren't getting the Rst indicator even when I rotated the squad.

Hoping to get season 8 updated for Limavady Utd tomorrow, struggled to get a good run at it and I have 6 competitions to play in so there are like a billion games a season right now

Wow, didn't expect that, I wonder what it was projected to be before you turned pro. I guess your chairman is in the "speculate to accumulate" club whilst mine is in the "I better not go outside or I might get run over" club

Congratulations on turning Pro @XaW Out of curiosity what is your balance and your projections? I'm assuming that I can't turn pro (and I have asked) because I rely so heavily on success on the park to make it into Europe as my projection looks like the following:

LIMAVADY BREAK POINTS RECORD FOR NON TITLE WIN Squad Overview Youth Overview More Youth Details Youth Intake Preview Youth Intake Top 5 Season Review Next Season Aims Pray to the FM Gods for a good draw in Europe Repeat the league performance and pray to the FM Gods that Glentoran slip up more or sell their best players Request training facility upgrade with the European money Work on succession plan for Geneste and Aguilar (O'Brien (Elite6)/Telford (Elite7) and Spence (Elite6)) Previous Season Summaries Appointment Season 1 - Lough41 Championship 8th Season 2 - Lough41 Championship Winners Season 3 - Danske Bank Premiership 6th Season 4 - Danske Bank Premiership 5th Season 5 - Danske Bank Premiership 4th Season 6 - Danske Bank Premiership 2nd

ROESIDERS PUSH GLENTORAN ALL THE WAY More Youth Details Youth Intake Preview Youth Intake Top 5 Season Review I was excited for our first foray into Europe but it was very shortlived as a tough draw against FC Vaduz (for those that don't know they are the Lichenstein side that compete in Switzerland and qualify for Europe by winning the Lichenstein FA Cup) which we lost 3-1 on aggregate. The money that came in took me up to around £880k and I was knocking on the chairman's door for upgrades but he declined both Junior Coaching and Training Facilities. The good news was that there were less fixtures to worry about and after seeing Linfield struggle this year due to the sheer volume of matches I think it was for the best. In the league we went into the Championship Group split with the league looking like this: Just before playing Glentoran I was 1 point behind them but we lost the match and Glentoran pulled away. On the last day of the season Larne lost to Glentoran whilst we drew (disappointingly) at home to Coleraine which brought us level on points but better goal difference than Larne to steal second place! In the cups we defended the North West Senior Cup with a near carbon copy of last years final except we won 4-1 against Ballinamallard Utd rather than 3-1. I would like to win the Northern Irish Cup at some stage however the priority remains qualifying for Europe and then trying to do as much as we can in Europe to maximise the funds coming in as I've done the easier of the upgrades. I was able to get one upgrade to the training facilities after club legend Pavol Guba (Elite1) sealed a move to Atletico Madrid!!!! It was nowhere near the sell on I wanted as far as the transfer fee was concerned but it looks like Guba is a top notch player and I got him in year 1! If only he had come along around this point in the save he might have stuck around longer. The chairman was at it again this time letting Denver Wilkinson (Elite1) leave which meant I had to use a left sided central midfielder on the left wing for most of the season until the intake provided another option. The good news however is I might be shot of him soon as there are takeover rumours and rather than the usual denial from the chairman it's saying he's open to it. If it happens I'm not expecting any investment as it rarely happens. I've just been renewing my current staff's contracts as I'm neither in the financial nor reputational position to get any better ones in. The number of staff hasn't changed in 6 seasons and we are still semi -pro but until we start making real headway into Europe it will remain that way. As far as the intake was concerned this year it looks like I have a real talent in my squad in the shape of Callum Martin (Elite6), he's already played 6 games in the league and averaged a respectable 6.80 but I only expect this to improve as he has all the makings of a really solid deep lying playmaker. Nathan Bell (Elite6) has also played first team football after injury left Fishwick (Elite4) out of the first team and Bell has scored 4 goals in 6 league games averaging 7.08 and I believe it will be him pairing Geneste (Elite5) next season. I did get a Brazilian youth intake but he was 2.5/3 potential and I let him go because I just didn't see anything coming from him, it was a nice surprise to have that and hopefully not the last but I would hope for a better quality Brazilian next time! Next Season Aims As I outlined above the priority is European qualification and progress which means cups will suffer if they need to. I have Aguilar (Elite4) and Reynierse (Elite4) both complaining now about playing with better players. I had this with Kerr (Elite3) last year but he backed down and then wanted a new contract so I'm hoping for the same. I've said I will not look to actively sell but will consider offers that come in, thats when I'll do the let them leave for reasonable fee chat (that's of course if the chairman isn't here and doesn't decide to just accept anyway) Previous Season Summaries Appointment Season 1 - Lough41 Championship 8th Season 2 - Lough41 Championship Winners Season 3 - Danske Bank Premiership 6th Season 4 - Danske Bank Premiership 5th Season 5 - Danske Bank Premiership 4th

I think if you’d had one shot on target and scored from it then feel bad but if you miss two penalties in one game you don’t deserve to win

Vaduz were too strong 3-1 aggregate loss but now up to £800k+ and the chairperson said no to training facilities and no to junior coaching.....until next year (If I can qualify again)

New stadium built and its called.......Limavady Utd Stadium

My chairperson is at it again. I started up the game just after finishing work and hit continue to then get this: I've managed to protest this one but my god I have £474k in the bank just now and I'm in Europe and he's accepting a bid like that????
