Getting Around Europe Quicker Than Shedender

really good friendly results !

So Promotion is the price aswell. Is this also if its through play-offs? And how deep do you start in England? And if you start in the BSS or BSN do you need to win the other aswell? Just feeling out how much time i have to catch-up and win

thats one crazy cabinet of trophies you have, do you ever sleep?

Thanks George! Definitely a morale booster!

Promotion of any sort will count as the trophy Dyrim whether its through the playoffs or winning the league. As for the BSS/N just one will do as there are a few leagues with a 'double tier' bottom league!

Hahaa yes I do steveekay, its an addicting career though!

So after a lengthy yet very good performance winter break we returned to competitive action looking to remain in good form for the rest of the season however knew it was never going to be that easy. Returning to competitive action we faced just two games in March as we looked to remain unbeaten.


An unbeaten return to competitive action saw our first game at home welcoming AB where we snatched a two nil victory. A goal after just three minutes set us off on a good foot when Topp netted confidently for us. We doubled our lead after sixteen minutes, this time Krogh getting on the scoresheet as it looked to be a busy game. However that proved to be the final goal of the match,

The second, and final game of March saw us at home again, this time welcoming fourth place HB Koge. Beck got us off to a flying start as he netted after just twenty minutes. We conceded in the second half and slipped to a draw however its a strong unbeaten return.


Eight games to go and its continues to look like we are out of the promotion battle. We remain third, still eight points away from second place. Kolding look set to secure the top spot as they sit on sixty one points moving five points clear of second place Silkborge whilst they are eight points clear of us on fifty six. We hold a four point gap over HB Koge but it looks to be a two horse race with eight games to go.

Good luck with your promotion chase Dan looks very tough now.

The title race is still on George but we will have to be at our best!

So we had made a decent enough return to competitive action during March where we picked up four points from a possible six. However April was set to be a much busier month as we faced a colossal amount of games crammed into just four weeks again. April saw us face seven games over the four weeks seeing us play twice a week! However with that we faced six league games and both legs of the DBU Pokalen Semi Final!


The month started in brilliant fashion as we continued our unbeaten run as we traveled to Frem and won five two in a seven goal thriller. We were ahead inside the opening minute as Beck netted after fifty two seconds to get us off to a flyer. But it turned to be Frem's half as they netted twice to lead within half an hour. However we swung back with two goals in a minute before the break with goals from Krogh and then Beck claiming his second. After the break we continued to dominate as Krogh netted his second before Brink came off the bench to net our fifth.

Second game of April saw us return to DBU Pokalen action where we welcomed Superliga side FC Midtylland in the semi final and it was one way traffic in the first leg. We were two down by the break and the top tier side added a third in the second half to confirm we were all but out.

Life didn't get any easier as we returned to league action welcomed Silkeborg knowing a win would see us close the gap and push our promotion bid. It wasn't to be though as we trailed three nil, yes three nil come the break which killed us off which was followed by a goalless first half.

And then we traveled to league leaders Kodling as our run continued to be harsh on us and we slipped to three defeats on the bounce. We played well off the blocks but conceded moments before the break which hit our hopes. Despite us leveling with seven minutes to go through Olesen it still proved not to be enough as sloppy defending from a corner saw us slip to a two one defeat.

We went four on the bounce without a win as our morale and form hit rock bottom as we traveled to Superliga side FC Midtylland where we lost three one in the second leg of the DBU Pokalen which saw us slump to a six one aggregate score and fall out the competition. Krogh the man with our goal.

Returning to league form and to winning ways as we traveled to Nordvest where we kept a clean sheet too. We got off the blocks after just eight minutes through Beck. It proved to be his day to as he grabbed our second ten minutes before the break which proved to be the last goal of the game, back to winning ways!

We ended April with back to back wins and back to back clean sheets as we claimed back to back two nil victories. We returned home to welcome struggling B 93 where we forced a two nil win in the second half. Storm struck first just twenty one minutes left on the clock before Brink netted in the last four minutes to round off a struggling month.


The two legs of the cup semi final saw us face two more games than we needed to this April putting the team under more pressure and its cost us as we slip down to fourth in the table! We can still finish second should we win all three of our remaining league games and HB Koge and Silkeborg have torrid run ins picking up two points! Kolding have secured promotion and will now hunt for the top spot whilst at the other end Hvidovre conclude an awful season and are now relegated.

Poor(ish) month mate but I suppose finishing third wouldn't be so bad, would it? KIU

Now I think promotion is out of reach after that poor month. However there is always next season. Apart from the league, which cup do you need to win? KIU

To bad a lost season. Next season will be better. Horsens is not a good combination for you.

The cup run looked to kill our promotion hunt it seems come the end Shedender, third place is more than good enough this year now!

Its just two league titles I require here in Denmark loscules! This one and the tier lower than I'm in now, the league title seems to be gone this year though!

It almst seems like a wasted season Benniewijs but there is always seasons like this!

____________________________________________________

The final month of the season was upon us and despite it seeming like we were out of the promotion race, technically we could of still hit second place so all the way there we battled hard. Going into May in fourth place I expected a top three finish. The final month saw us face three games which were routine wins on paper, two at home and one on the road it was all about a strong finish now.


We started the final month at home welcoming Fredercia where we stretched to three wins on the bounce. Beck lgave us the lead after twenty nine minutes which saw us ahead at the break. Second half we slipped back level as we conceded one before we went on to win the game when Krogh netted eleven minutes from time.

Our final away game of the season saw us travel to Vestsjaelland where we narrowly recorded another two one victory. We got off to a flyer netting after just si minutes when Duncan found the back of the net for us before we doubled our tally on the verge of the break through Juul. Second half we were poor and were lucky not to concede as it was ruled out for offside but eventually the home side netted one but we held on.

We ended the month and the season with our fifth win on the bounce as we searched for the top spot right to the end where we welcomed already relegated Hvidovre. We led early on again as we scored after just two minutes through Pedersen. Moments before the break we conceded from the spot after a sloppy challenge. Second half we turned up our game and went on to claim all three points when Beck restored our lead before Pedersen netted his second of the day in injury time.


The season is done and dusted and we narrowly missed out on promotion, potentially to our early form and drawing too many in the league this year. Kodling secured the top spot, winning the title by seven points over second place Silkborge who also got promoted. We finished just four points off second place which cost us promotion which the board expected, but we came close!

____________________________________________________

One season down and another season is on the horizon meaning we had to look into improving the squad to improve our title big this year. However it was set to be a hard summer after so many pieces of news and the clubs financial state let alone the amount of players at the club!


Once again the board expect promotion and I feel if I don't do it this year then I probably wouldn't get the chance of earning promotion as the board will probably part company with me. We have been given a transfer budget of just four pounds, yes four pounds whilst our initial wage budget was so far under what we were currently spending that we'd get in a lot of financial trouble.


Here is the financial situation at the club. We are now in some heavy debt as we sit three hundred and twenty seven thousand pounds into the red, this isn't ideal as we were in over a million pounds worth of debt a couple days ago. However the clubs injection of money helped us. The wage budget has dropped down to fifteen thousand which we have eighteen thousand to spend, Just two point six thousand spare to spend.


This is the squad...the whole squad. Last year we had several players in on loan and this summer I didn't negotiate contracts with so many players as they were simply wasted and weren't any good. We have just ten first team players on the books at the club at the moment and with that two or three of them probably don't even have the quality for this league anyway!


Here is the fixture list for this summer just to try and raise our profile a bit, our morale after missing out on the expected promotion as well as trying to get a team together that fits the formation immediately. it won't be an easy summer but we will battle through it, as we always do with some games easier for us and some tougher which will simply be for the usual financial gain.

In other news...


I've just received this job offer and its made me really think about my time at Horsens and whats best for myself and the challenge now. B 93 were relegated last season from the Betsfaligean and now sit in the bottom tier, the 2. Division Ost. They are expected to win the league this year and that could see me tick off another box I need to here in Denmark. And with Horsens club now very short on numbers and poor financial state, its one I'm considering!

unlucky not to get promotion but great end to the season also your squad is tiny ! Good luck in whatever you decide to do

Go for it mate ... as they were relegated they are sure to have a squad with more quality than other teams in the lowest division, which could see you win another league in Denmark. You could also continue with B 93 in the 2nd division (the one in which Horsens are) next season.

Will B 93 be playing in the lowest possible league? If they are then I'd take a look at their squad before you decide whether to jump or not. If you feel the squad is crap then I'd stay at Horsens and attempt to build a promotion squad for the forthcoming season.

Oh, well done on finishing third by the way. I suppose that's deemed a successful enough season?

I would leave AC Horsen if B93 has a decent squad, and just go for 2 promotions in a row.

Looks like AC Horsens team is conjured for you, but if were you I would try their promotion chances rather than leave them for B93.

I know your feeling man. Quiting Horsens twice is too much but with B93 you can win both titles I think. Good luck with your decission.

Sorry guys, I think I am going to leave this career for now, with the possibility of coming back to it at a later date.

Me and Shedender set up the career to go head to head and despite so many other people competing against us now its just not as enjoyable!

So for now, this is the end of the line!

I understand it Dan. I will continue my career but first I have to find some time to write my completed seasons. I am in 2030-2031 now and the last season I wrote about was 2022-2023 so I have some writing to do. The screenshots are ready so most work is done.

It's actually Shedender and I. Shocking English Dan.

We will be going head to head again with another challenge but at the moment both of us have empty minds and can't think of anything that hasn't been done on here before or for quite a while.

I don't blame Dan for stopping this (temporarily at the moment) as if his game f**ked up then I would have probably done the same.

I have an idea for a challenge and don't know if it's done before and if it's possible. I will try to do this in the next release of FM. I will post the complete challenge on the challenges page so we can discuss it there. The idea behind the challenge is to complete the LL to PL challenge in the countries where you can do this. England, France, Spain, Italy and Brazil.

I hope you'll visit Poland soon. What kind of logos/flags do you use?

You do know that this story isn't happening no more?
