A good 2nd half thrashing of non-league side Changangkha, we've drawn Bhutan Clearing in the 3rd Round.

A bore draw, we had the better stats during the match but we couldn't do enough to get the win, that's the 1st month over with and we're 1st and unbeaten so far.

A good come from behind win where our first goal came directly from a throw in from the half way line that went past 3 of their defenders before meeting Subba.

Perfect start mate, three points is all important!


It definitely gave us the kick-on from the Preseason we had

Glad to see you're unbeaten at the top after 5 games, almost half way now! Also glad to see the Bhutani National Division being at the heights of 129th haha!

Wow! A 9 point lead after just 6 games?! That's surely (or should I say Shirley ) unheard of! must be just a couple of games before you're promoted unless you have a massive slide in form!

I'm very happy with an opening win, I was almost frustrated as we marginally outplayed them and they got an equalizer in the 76th minute but luckily Dorji got us the needed 3 points to start the campaign in the 89th minute.

Best of the best if you're making up the whole of the national team man, looks like you have strengthened, a great pre season too!


Indeed Dan! Let's hope that will translate into results though, Preseason has helped my confidence a lot though.

Preseason 2013/14

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/lhwzLFhe1oEJzGZT8FXYtcFC4TQrU57pXlOEdDpX.png

We were predicted to be the best, so, how can we be the best?


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Yz1U2ON3GJ4ZNqQpHH7q0AQTebnbalhqHzu5h6T1.png

We kept the squad together and lost no-one, more importantly we strengthened, a lot, and here's some evidence of that...

My squad makes up the ENTIRE national team!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/uuWHq0ecSLxGWvwYzHFoG5kXNeWfhF5dMBeGdRhQ.png

And there is my squad (there are a few more players but I moved them into my U20 squad to fit it all onto one page.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Cvx4i0fa4hjRAwLsarAzeH2sQaEWHPqhTmhy8HFE.png

A very good Pre-Season leaves me confident going into the actual season.

Great start so far mate, looks like Shirley's are the early favourites to go down, whereas in PT20's Shirley story, you're the favourites to go down, how funny

Yeedzin are Bhutan's equivalent of a fallen giant, or Bhutan's Manchester United, they won the league 3 years in a row then last season they finished 6th, it's my job to get them back to the top of Bhutan, even with their new, bizarre league structure that I haven't quite worked out yet. They play in a stadium which holds 25,000 people and it is very beautiful to say the least!

We have good finances for the level we're at and we're amateur so we don't lose any money on wages.


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/j7r0rleLPu43FE6CAtnjKZ3nivYcp8d70CWPmzTF.png

This is our league, well the league we begin in, it get's a bit complicated so here are the rules:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kkWhxhiHRxESHaZRdwZ3L50q9C9GToeix7dWViu7.png


The top 3 qualify for the National League (called Champions Playoff in FM) along with the 3 teams from the Districts Division.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nKausMhwUJ38WUW7GCqMtTQujQVhxMxYWJapMiQH.png

We have a good squad although we are lacking in midfielders and I'll be looking to make a basic tactic as they're amateurs although it looks like a 4-4-2 may be off the cards with the players I have at my disposal so far.

And here are our best players:

(Note: This will be the only long winded post, the information has been taken from Wikipedia, other posts will most likely be just short snippets)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Flag_of_Bhutan.svg/125px-Flag_of_Bhutan.svg.png

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country in South Asia located at the eastern end of the Himalayas. It is bordered to the north by China and to the south, east and west by India. To the west, it is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim, while further south it is separated from Bangladesh by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal. Bhutan's capital and largest city is Thimphu.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Yeedzinfclogo.jpg

Yeedzin Football Club is a football club from Thimphu, Bhutan. Founded in 2002, they were promoted from the B-Division in 2002 to the A-Division, where they have remained ever since. They won their first A-Division title in 2008 and have won a total of four A-Division chmpionships. In addition they have also qualified for the National League in 2012 and 2013, winning the inaugural national competition in 2012. They have been Bhutan's representative in the AFC President's Cup on four occasions, a feat matched only by Transport United in Bhutan. Unfortunately, their domestic success has not been replicated at a continental level. In each of their four appearances in the President's cup they have lost all three of their group games and have only managed to score a total of five goals in their twelve matches. It is one of the richer clubs in Bhutan.


After seeing a couple of Northern Mariana Islands stories go up I didn't want to be a 3rd person to make one there so I decided to go with Bhutan as I know nothing about them other they measure themselves based on happiness and not money and they won a game called 'The Other Final' 4-0 against Montserrat in 2002.

We appear to have done very well, the quality wasn't too great but it gives us plenty of morale going into the league.

I completely revamped the squad and here are in my opinion the best transfers/

Newly promoted to the Premier League and the board expects a mid-table finish, hopefully I can live up to expectations.

A disappointing end to the season and I will not be staying on for another year, the board expected us to win the league and we didn't so they're very unhappy, I'll be unable to sign new, better players because we're already over budget even after getting rid of around 35 players and our finances show we're almost a million pound in debt, and still getting further into debt.


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6h0WgslzAifTPPIEKFC0HIqc2G4CAVPgQpjpck1L.png

Our one saving grace was our cup run where we made it all the way to the final, unfortunately this doesn't mean we'd qualify for Europe.

Great to see someone start a career without any default playable leagues, I'm following for sure. KIU.


Well Israel and Turkey are playable by default but I've added the 4th and 5th tiers of Turkish football and taken Israel from the 2nd tier to the 5th as well, thanks for following

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/WdQkqne2SNPDttbr8kqnWrF2bBiNmP0LdsfFrgP0.png

We've been almost unstoppable getting some really god results, Godfred has been our top scorer so far with 10 in 16, and how are we doing in the league?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9pmt9jSWqBk2miu1MlJt4pINq2fA7RprteFj7Pnp.png

We're 2nd behind the unstoppable Agia Napa and at the start of a tight group between us and 7th, AEZ look like favourites to be relegated shortly.


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZsFxA0pOEFdBVAObqp549ioZu6x30E45ZaRTN4kg.png

We've also made it to the cup quarter final where we face the last remaining B Division side other than ourselves.

So I'm off too sunny Cyprus with Olympiakos Nicosia, and I'm tipped to be around the promotion places and we have a decent squad as well:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/uyAeedp7Tr1aqiQXRKof7F16gzADcRmLm3bwhBsp.png

The squad is very young and has some great potential, here is our highest rated player as well as our best youth player:
