#247803 The Night Thread Mk. IX
Jonas
I just thought he had some good points in that video is all.
...
Anyways... feeling a bit shit lately. I'm turning 25 this year and at the moment my life isn't quite what I'd thought it would be like growing up. I still live with my parents, should have finished my bachelor's degree one year ago - won't finish it until the end of 2015 minimum. Looking back it was a hasty and not a very wise move to begin on that program. I still haven't got around to take the driver's license, got £25.000 in student debt and about a month ago I fucked up with this girl I really thought I was going to marry one day. Oh, and I didn't mention that I haven't saved up a penny for me to get a loan from the bank to buy a place for myself one day (which will put me in even more debt too).
Life's a bitch, eh? Compared to all those billions living in poverty, hunger and any other struggles I'm not affected by as I'm living in one best countries in the world in terms of standard of living, I probably shouldn't complain... but in my situation in my environment it damn sucks.

Compared to ze Germans and their well renowned efficiency and systems for everything, you don't really think of Italy as a nation that can turn something like this around easily. "The thinnest book in the world is that of Italian war heroes". Then you have the outdated stadiums, the bad financial situation, lack of talent and planning when it comes to youth development, racism, poor European results etc.
It's do-able but it will be a tough task as it's Italy we're talking about.

Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps with the brand new centre de formation, French for academy (bottom left white housing complex) and the club's surrounding training facilities, situated along the 292km long river Yonne that runs through the city.
As stated many times in this thread already Auxerre has a rich history of producing young talents through their well established academy. However, the last couple of years have not been as productive as the previous ones - but with a brand new top youth facility hopefully that'll change over the years to come. This season four academy graduates; Léon (gk), Castelletto (dr), Boto (dl) and Gavory (aml) were given minutes in Ligue 1. I'll be looking to add to that number in the next couple of seasons.
Here is this year's most promising youth candidates.
I have also made three new bosman signings.
By mistake I started this save with the manager settings set to Continental A Licence and the past player experience to professional footballer (national level). This has led to me attracting interest from almost any club on the continent after just one good season. I have been linked to/had interview offers from the following clubs this season: Swansea, Lorient, Guingamp, Udinese, Torino, Blackburn, Nice, Southampton, Hull, Malaga, Toulouse, West Ham, Sevilla, West Brom, Lazio, Lyon, Nantes, Valencia, Montpellier, Marseille, Villarreal, Everton, Inter and Milan. Then this came up:
After some long and hard thinking I have decided not to take it and carry on with Auxerre. Something tells me the save would have died out had I taken it as it would turn out boring and I still have unfinished business at Auxerre. Can't say it wasn't a tempting offer though. Elsewhere in the world both Louis van Gaal and Arsene Wenger resigned from their manager posts this season.

Cool to hear that you like it. Will do my best to try and keep this going.

Yeah, I'm quite amazed of how good we were. Will do an update on that next time out.
Cheers! To my surprise not really no. As said Sammaritano will leave on a free to Ajax, while Bordeaux and Lille are after Souquet and Badibanga respectively. That's about it. It could change as the transfer window opens perhaps.

Haha, I shouldn't 'complain' I guess.
Interesting chart on the stages of the season.
Marseille = cyan
St. Etienne = pink
Rennes = blue
Lille = green
Us = red
First team squad stats for the season (all comps).
I'm delighted to see that nearly all of my summer signings have been tremendous all season long. Slightly disappointed with Nicola Leali but he's still young and learning. We will lose Frédéric Sammaritano to Ajax over the summer as I didn't feel his new contract demands really reflected his squad status, and Sid Ahmed Aouedj has already proved he can take his place as our left winger. I might bring in a new one though and my main target as of now is Rennes' Paul-Georges Ntep - an Auxerre academy product. I tried signing Khouma Babacar on a pre contract but I was stupid enough to wait until the end of the season which meant his demands all of a sudden were sky high due to his excellent performances so he chose to stay at Fiorentina instead. Looking back I should have gone for him earlier as he would have been the perfect replacement for an aging André Senghor.
Awards
Surprised to see Zlatan make the team as Babacar (19 goals/7.29 av rat), Marseille's Jérémie Porsan-Clemente (21 goals/7.25 av rat) and Emmanuel Riviéré (22 goals/7.36 av rat) all had better seasons.
Financial
Fan hero Vincent Gragnic still very much the most popular player!
Looking forward to the transfer window already.

End of the season update coming up boys.
First game against already relegated Bastia was a walk in the park as expected. André Senghor showing fine form blasting in four goals! Boto from the Auxerre academy got his first goal for the club as well. We then faced Monaco away. Sitting 7th in the table it's been a disappointing season for the big spending Monégasques and in an evenly matched contest we got the all important away point we were looking to get. At home we have been nearly invincible this season which meant we had no problem beating Zinedine Zidane's Montpellier quite easily.
This was then the situation before the last league round.
A draw away to Rennes would see us secure the 4th place at least whereas a win could result in a Champions League spot, given that Lille would stay behind us on g.d. as they were up against last placed Caen at home in a potential goal fest. With some luck i.e. Toulouse beating Marseille at home we could even end up as high as 2nd!
Now that's what I call how to finish in style. What a way to end an absolutely incredible season. As newly promoted. Wow! Lille only won their game 1-0...
As if that wasn't enough. Coupe de France final...
Somehow I also feel a little bit empty despite all the success. I can't quite believe how well the first season in our Ligue 1 comeback has been as I expected this to be a longterm project, step by step, year by year. 3rd place finish including a Champions League qualifying spot and two domestic cup titles in the first season as newly promoted. It's as if there's too much too early. The Ligue 1 title is still there to be won and there is plenty of challenges on the European stage but still.

It's time for another update...
As I forgot all about this thread I almost played through the whole season without thinking of taking any screenshots etc. so here is a brief summary of the season up until now. And my word, what a journey it has been for us!
Ligue 1
We last left the action back in October as we managed to hold PSG to a honorable 1-1 draw at home. As you guys can see we kicked on from there and only lost one game before the short winter break. 4-4-1 in nine games - impressive stuff for a newly promoted side to complete the first half of the season! Even more so as key players such as Thomas Fontaine, Frederic Sammaritano and Abeiku Quansah were out injured for some time during that period. Up until the home defeat to Marseille in February we only continued our fine form and looked completely unbeatable at times.
We have lost some points in the last couple of games against tough opposition but having maintained our magnificent home form we're still in the race for a Champions League spot. Who would have thought that at the beginning of the season?!
Four games left and it's still anyone's game for the Euro cup spots behind the super power that is PSG. We're playing Bastia (h), Monaco (a), Montpellier (h) and Rennes (a). Playing Rennes and Monaco that are up there with us is a good thing, as it means we don't necessarily need to rely on other results going our way - the flipside being that both those games are away from home. Marseille have been on fire ever since they replaced Ruud Gullit, who went on to manage AC Milan, with Quique Flores and have only lost once since they beat us in February. The 3rd place is therefore looking like the most realistic target for us right now.
Coupe de la Ligue
Now where did that come from?! Haha. We nearly got eliminated in the first round against Ligue 2 side Brest and then went on to win the whole thing. Looking back we were lucky to get home draws both in the quarter and semi finals, albeit the opposition being rather tough. Those two games really showed just how good we have been at home.
We should have killed off the final way earlier than in extra time but due to some sloppy defending we invited St. Etienne back in the game twice. In extra time there was no doubt whatsover: Badibanga became the hero as he secured the cup title right before the break. Our first trophy and Auxerre's first Coupe de la Ligue title as well!
Coupe de France
Fortress Stade Abbé Deschamps! History repeated itself as we on our way to the final, like in the Coupe de la Ligue beat Brest after extra time and PSG once again. A real cup nemesis for Laurent Blanc's Plastic Fantastic FC. They have only lost once in Ligue 1 also setting a new point record, yet we have beaten them twice in the domestic cup's. How awesome is that? Haha, loving it! We're playing RC Lens or St. Etienne in the final.

"As is customary, the squad went to the end of the stadium where the visiting fans were sitting and threw their jerseys into the stands. However, this time the shirts were thown right back at them, infuriating Icardi and Guarin. Andrea Ranocchia tried to pull the two players away, but Guarin insisted he had given his heart for the shirt, while Icardi hurled abuse at the supporters."

He's looked more lively tonight than in the group stages. In general they have been rather bleak in attack all tournament, and I'd say Serge Aurier and Max Gradel have been their best players so far.
He did this though.
