What are you suggesting?
BTW, isn't a certain club, which was in the championship in 2014 near the top of Premier League this season? If that is the case, why can't it happen in one less year in a simulation game?
Sankalan

I thought of staying for the Paulistao, but with all my players wishing to move to Europe for higher pay Packages, I too decided to leave.

Dan, if you are not too angry with me, could you tell me what is the right way to fill this in the seasons?
If i fill both this and the Italian season as 2020, This is displayed before the Italian one
Sankalan
So I have got a joob at one of the top clubs in Europe. So why was the last manager fired?
Being 4 points behind the league leaders was probably not the cause. It seems to be the 4 other competitions.
My target in the game has become now to win as many competitions that I can. With a good chance to win this league, I may be here for only 8 matches.
In other news, AIFF never seems to be unhappy with its head coach, so no firing takes place. To prepare myself internationally, I decided to now take up the Ecuador post, which is likely to give me a chance to make it to the world cup.
Just to maintain the tradition, here is a brief history of PSG
Sankalan
As you would expect from a top side. And the table:
Won the league if only on goal difference. Now I have done
Let us see who is next...
Sankalan
Sankalan
My new World cup group is Russia, France and Costa Rica
Sankalan
We have still not played Bayern at their home, but this seems pretty good to get a title.
Sankalan
The matches overall were good, though the 0-2 defeat at homeshould have been avoided.
What does this mean to the table?
We slip below bayern but with a game in hand
Sankalan
Perfection, I would say. In the mean time I am also giving some undeserved game time to an Indian AMR to boost my world cup hopes.
Bayern are below us again and I hope it stays that way for some time, as we still have to play them away
Sankalan
Not the best, after all, but I still manage to pick 2 points more from the last 17 gamesthan what had been picked of the first 17.
Interestingly, Bayern got behind even Schalke.
Anyhow, now I have ticked off
Sankalan
Sankalan
Interesting results there, we went through on goal difference. The top ranked team in our group, Russia, finished last.
Next we shall face USA, where we are favourites
Sankalan
Second Round update
We won in penalties but our star striker is out for a couple of weeks
We did go through and the only other interesting result here is probably Holland leaving against Mexico. More Interestingly though, countries like Spain, Brazil, England are missing. So where are they?
Spain: Second in EU Qual G5 behind Ukraine, failed to qualify
Brazil: Last in Grp. F Behind Germany, Cot d'Ivoire and South Korea(in that order)
England: Last in Grp. G Behind Mexico, Belgium and Senegal(in that order)
All this and the fact that Messi is still their best bet, Gives me hope against Argentina
False hope though, Lost 0-3 to them in the quarter finals
Sankalan
Our matches:
Worst league performance for a team led by Baba till date. The table:
Perhaps this time round, Baba will have to settle without a league win.
On the positives, we qualified for UEFA Knockouts!
Sankalan
Anyway, to stay in the midst of things, I took up Iraq, who will be playing in the WAFF Championship and are favourites
Sankalan
Whole Tournament Update
My life is going hell. First of all what business does South korea have to Host a WAFF Championship. Secondly why does a worst-ranked-in-drawn-group team want to win the tournament?
We quickly left with a 3-0 defeat against Qatar and a 1-1 draw against Kuwait.
A month later, already in the quarters of Asia Cup, crash dump. But Then we had to play Kuwait again. and this time:
Sankalan
Edit:I won't. Tried again, won the WAFF this time, Made it again to the quarters and Crash again. So that's all folks.
Edit:Tried a third time, and this time, success(I went all the way back to when it was early days in liverpool) as the asian cup is over(I am not managing any team in that competition though)
Will update at the end of the season
Sankalan
And then the we became they:Clubs kept questioning as to why I loved to resign so many jobs, and I was tired. so I asked the board to upgrade training facilities(which they should have) and they refused. I leaked to press and they fired me. Cool. Anyhow, here are two screenshots(taken after the firing)
5xCL+4xEL. Cute
Anyhow, now I have ticked off
Sankalan
Really need to build the team, and have only a couple of weeks to do that
Sankalan
Edit: Played again and somehow got past it, eliminated in quarter finals
Sankalan
I short, I am back to the time when I had just won the champions league

->Prevent Real Madrid from winning(I am a Barca fan)
->Prevent Barca from winning(I want that job!)

=>Real Madrid would win the league.
=>Barcelona, Celta(our team) and valencia would fight it out for completing the top 4.
=>Athletico, the team I was praying for to win the league would finish fifth at best.
A few interesting results:
My first loss was to Atletico. Ended a dream run in the league
Then the most disheartening result, managing only a draw with 20th placed Soc.
The result to remember(not for Rodgers though)
Note the jersey
But we were soon brought down to earth in the immediate next game
(the ... is 10)
With Barca weakened, our main rivals for the silver medal were Valencia. The two games against them
this was early in the season, unlike the away game
With the table stabilising, here was the master stroke. Two games on the same day:
No screenshot for the other one, but we won and Barca was assured a 4th place.
I expressed interest in a very insecure job, and a shamefaced Rodgers resigned.
I got the interview, and did well(I think)
Heading into the last matchday, we led Valencia by a point. The club requested me to stay, but I rejected. And my final game in charge
well, we had to settle for third.
And here is the league table:
As of now, I am the newly appointed head coach of a cash strapped team, known as Futbol club de Barcelona
Epilogue...Rodgers is now the head coach of Celta

Have loaded all players from top clubs of all six continents. At that time though, it showed player count=121,000, with Italian leagues loaded down to level 6.(now it is only liga bbva)
And yes, unless I reload the game every six months or so, it becomes very slow(don't know why).
Are you suggesting that not doing so would reduce crash dumps?(I do remember that once, the crash dump was generated when I was reloading and the game would not reload.)
Sankalan
Roberto Firmino came up to me and said that he wanted to leave for Germany. So I asked what it would take to keep him here. and he said
The team does not expect to go beyond Quarter Finals in the champions league. Also it is satisfied if I can guarantee champions league entry from the league.
