#182721 The Ganja Trail - A Caribbbean Adventure
Eric Portapotty
Thanks bruv
-------------------------------
The players are back from holiday, now for 2 months of finetuning.
I have no idea where we got all that money from.
Great, so long there's cash coming in I'm not complaining.
I can't challenge for the title, if I'm honest.
Immediately directed all the funds to the wage budget, because that's the only way I roll.
Last thing I needed was further meddling from other squads, reserves are there to give recovering players game time, and any youth graduates will be drafted straight there instead of the U18s.
Signings now:
The Cambodian stands out like a sore thumb yes, and the Jamaican will also be in relatively unfamiliar surroundings, but all in all they should be able to cope.
From this point onwards I'll be looking to sign only on loans, helps to keep the wage bill down and allows for flexibility.
1st preseason match against the reserves:
So very far from our best, extremely rusty, problems that one hopes will be ironed out in this month and a half.

Tentative selection.
Surprised Sanchez isn't labelled as a striker, given Wenger's comments about his qualities as a forward.

Protip: look at your greyed-out players for options if you can't find any.
He's not rated well by the staff, but look at his mental attributes, definitely something we can use there.
Of course the problem is we've gone over the wage budget with his signings, so something had to be done:
Rubbish player, hopefully he enjoys his new club.
Nearly 3 months of nothing at all, coming to an end though, so it's not all terrible.

We headed into our final match of the season without any time to fine-tune a system (well we didn't have enough players anyway) so we set out with a... well you know:
Didn't help that our GK is dog turd and our defence was greyed out, but anyway, a debut loss.
All 15 year-olds, we'll have to make do, considering we only have around $300 to play with in wages to form a reasonable squad.
This could change with cutting wages of the current players, but it's still not the best situation to be in.

Cheers guys, fingers crossed this turns out to not be a dud.

What else could an unemployed Singaporean be doing in the Caribbean other than getting high on cannabis?
Well...:
Holidayed a couple of days, and came back to this - my 1st and only offer.
Sticking with my Smouha philosophy of blooding youths, which will be easy considering there are next to nil quality footballers here.\
Expecting the title though, that's a worry.
1st club in (hopefully) a career of many.
Great news on the youth recruitment side of things, though it probably doesn't mean much if it's only in Haiti.
Well that's odd, I'm sure I selected to add fake players - oh well, at least it gives me an easier time when introducing the guys:
(Worrying, he's complete rubbish.)
I can't really say much about the rest of the guys, other than that Thelamour is our best player by some distance, his goalscoring will be vital.
Rather bizarrely, I've arrived when most of the season has been played out and we're about to play our final match of the Championship playoff:
Which has already been decided.
There's also a relagation playoff apparently, which resulted in a rather bizarre final overall table:
Mirebalais finished dead last in the relagation playoff despite doing rather solidly in the regular season.
America de Cayes ran away with both phases, clearly our main rival then.

Meanwhile, this is where I'm at.

Yes, a new save, a new region.
My only experience in the Caribbean (or the whole of North America for that matter) was taking charge of Martinique (where the likes of Johan Audel and Joris "Brother of Sylvian" Marveaux led me to the Caribbean Championship) in FM10.
I've also loaded - as view-only leagues - the following to give this a more global feel:
- Canada, USA and Mexico from North America;
- Brazil and Argentina from South America; and
- England, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain from Europe.
These are the links for some of the databases in this save:

Really, things could have gone quicker if I did the right things at the right times, but instead I'm facing being in the red just 5 seasons after being acquired by a tycoon.
Wasn't able to build on my 1st title, and it took still more time even with the injection of money.
Anyway, sent the save to the SI boffins, let's see what they can do about it.

Looks like it's gone. I'll still keep the file, hopefully someone knows how to fix it.
... Well that was depressing.

It's about to get more rotten, I'm afraid:
I'll try to restore a previous version, but doing so on Win8 is a bit of a faff, so this might have to come to and end.
Fingers crossed.

Real tough man, but some you win some you lose, I guess.
-----------------------------
Same old, again naming the wrong player as my best signing this season.
Oh yeah, back to our old ways.
Not that this helps - despite winning a 3rd consecutive league title and reaching the last 2 cup finals the board has managed to reduce the sponsorship money.
Every penny counts, and with these we find ourselves in the black - only just.
Seems like it's quite hard to beat history even with sustained success, but at least we're making progress, however slight.
I won't mind overachieving, because it probably means that I'm not underachieving.
YES! The fans have been wise for once.
He's really been rather good, barring the very infrequent absolute shocker (e.g. the Confederation Cup final 1st leg and that match against Vita Club).
Time to expand the ground? Nah, since we now have next to no money.
You know me, I don't spend unless I'm daft enough to, so I'll play safe and guarantee a title challenge.
Here's the preseason schedule:
We've got 5 matches and 3 weeks to get our shit in order, and with Egypt going through to the knockout rounds the 3 Amigos with the national squad could well not be able to play a part in some of our group stage matches (well Soliman couldn't in any case, the stupid cunt), so I'll need to dip into the transfer market for some backups.

Does that mean 75 million pounds a season? That's genuinely obscene.

I think it was after the group stage where you were top but most of your XI was out.

I was right to shudder, finals were always going to be difficult, and so it proved.
Hafez as top scorer, consolation I guess.
Probably a seasonal postscript to come, or just straight to preseason.

Much easier than I expected, helped by the fast that 2 of their 3 best men were out with injuries, while the 3rd was also at the World Cup.
In the other semi:
So only Masry stand between us and a successful defence... shudders

-----------------------------------
We were regarded as underdogs in this match having has a couple of key players away for the World Cup, so it's commendable that their replacements stepped up to the plate to contribute.
We're now undisputed favourites, which doesn't go down too well with me, knowing that a possibility of buckling under the pressure will be higher than ever.
At least it's 2 more matches at most before the season ends and I can start planning for next season (and our CL campaign).
