Unfortunately now they reside in the Mediterranean block of the DH, or Division d'Honneur. The days of David Ginola and his wavy locks gracing the fields of Stade Bon Rencontre (Stadium Good Game, I shit you not) are but a distant memory. In his place stands the disgraceful figure of Jacques Remy, all 41 years of him, the last man standing in a decades long spiral into the depths of irrelevancy.
But that's where I come in. Young blood, full of vim and vigour, ready to revitalise this once mediocre footballing side back to the middle steps they used to claw at. At the very least I can guarantee eleven men will stand on a pitch and try to kick a ball. The adventure begins here.

And good luck.

I think this may very well be because in the couple of weeks since I began working at the club I've made an accelerated employee acquisition process my priority, given that there were no fullbacks on the team and out wage budget was €10,800pw and one player was earning €2,800pw. He's the player who left the club, under a rapid mutual termination offer (he was 36 as well...).
There are a few gems dotted in and around there, although only one player has a contract longer than a year, for obvious precautionary reasons, but I can see a few of them spending a decent amount of time with the club, if I can survive as manager of course. Being made favourites is an unexpected pressure I didn't think I would have at this early a stage. Oh well, time to prove someone right.

Four points for a win, and bless; look at that: you even get a point if you lose. Everyone gets and ice cream, just for taking part.

Coming into the winter break we're tied for the lead with only one loss on our record. It's been a pretty smooth season so far and I'm attributing that more to the fact our competition is so poor rather than us being so good. I'm already looking at which players to keep on for next season, barring any major mishaps we're going to be 1st or second at the end of the year. Only first gets promoted, but I still need to keep an eye on what squad I'm taking forward, irrespective of which division we're in.
Fantastic
I do love a good short season. We absolutely merked it this year, but as I said earlier, our competition was utter balls. There's a lot of dead weight at the club, at least five of the team are over thirty five, but I figure some shrewd dealing could see us have a semi-competitive squad for next year. A lot of good young players should be available on frees, my first priority is to build a rock solid defence, I can trust the attacking options I have at the moment.

Massive overhaul of staff. Everyone is on one year contracts again just because it's easier to manage and leaves me open if anyone turns out to be a dud. With that said I feel good about this squad, a lot of 4.5/5 star scout reports and that bodes well for ourselves going forward. Also young, I like them young.
Fantastic
Blah blah blah jinxing it, but that's still a fucking long time. When I get to the winter break I'll post up the league table. I think I might also post up some pictures of my staring XI and subs.
Fantastic
Fucking hate reserve sides, it's total pot luck what kind of players you'll face. Some talented dick could have bummed the manager's wife and so he's dumped in the reserves, whereupon he releases his frustration in the form of a hattrick. Fucking hate reserve sides.

At the halfway stage we're primed for a push towards promotion. It's hard to compete with a team who have yet to lose a game, but with two spots available for promotion I feel we have a good chance.
There have been a number of injuries and I've been forced to play players out of position.
Christophe Tall was brought in for the future, but with my third striker wanting to terminate his loan and both my right midfielders getting injured, he's played a part in all 13 games, starting the lat five at right midfield. Scary times, but the first team experience will definitely stand him in good stead. Ideally he could develop into a good substitute impact striker as far up as Ligue 2.
Fantastic
It ended up being our biggest scoreline of the season...
I don't know whether that's a sign or not, but they have another chance in a few days because it's a week or two until either Montiel or Firquet are back to full health.

So do I...

The only reason he still exists as a Toulon player is because, for some bizarre reason, he started out on an amateur contract. Even thought he could probably be earning €400pw somewhere. I don't know, maybe he has some shit set up already and just uses semi-pro football as a way to stay in shape. An all expenses paid gym or something. Either way, it's getting pretty threadbare around here.
Fantastic
Six games, one striker for two weeks until leading scorer Marc Montiel returns from injury. Let's fucking do this.
Fantastic
Well that's the main course over with, onto the dessert.
A two legged playoff match against a relegated CFA team. Winner takes all. A brief look at their squad makes me think they're going to be a bit of a handful, but I'm glad I avoided the two reserve sides.
Fantastic
Tight 1-0 victory, with a red card to boot. Tall, who is first choice now, is on fire at the moment.
Fantastic
Amazing. I had a good feeling going into this game and the early goal settled things. It's been a very successful season and we're now only two steps away from the big leagues.
The major problem facing us in the CFA is the big reserve sides, Lyon, Marseille etc, who will be very difficult to navigate.
Fingers crossed I get a slightly expanded wage budget. It's currently €12,750pw. Even an extension to €17,000 would be perfect just to bring in a great striker and maybe a high profile defender. As it stands I'm spending €13,500pw and I can't even afford to re-sign my best left defender. It's going to be a very tight off season.

Literally turning money away in order to play for this club for free. So hard for Toulon.
He's not interested.

Two very solid loan signings to plug some gaps in the team, the only other major signing was a left back Jelle Rykx. Agrati, as you can see, left the club and rejoined. That's because my wage budget it so overdrawn I couldn't afford to keep him until I had got rid of some players on the opening of the transfer window. I did want to sign a superstar striker (in context) but until the club's finances are eased a little it seems I'm stuck at this €15,000pw limbo that means I'm going to have to fight to make do with what I've got.
I'll do a little run through of the major players in the team:
I think the team is fairly well rounded. It's not as rock solid as I would like it to be, but given that I don't actually need to finish top, I just need to finish highest of the non-reserve teams, I think we have a chance of making it in this division.
Fantastic
This is what I mean. How the fuck are you supposed to compete with that?
Fantastic
I didn't expect offers so soon for him. but I feel as though the price isn't right. I'm going to hold out for €1.5m, with the asking price set at €1m, which I think is a pretty good amount of cash and should give us enough left over to bring in good players. I might be playing this one dangerously, but he's got a hell of a lot of potential and I don't want to walk away feeling shortchanged.
