#239744 The Shanghai Nights Adventure [FM15]

End of season league review. Bossing it really, players were fantastic all over the place.

The club's reputation has taken a bit of a battering in recent times before my arrival. That one poor season has seen the club drop drastically in the club rankings within Asia, despite the successes of last season the club has not progressed much, if there is another successful league season hopefully the club will progress further.

End of the season and I've just completed my next coaching badge. Undecided if I should consider going for the next badge. Time will tell if I do.

That's why I can't wait to see who you guys sign when we get the chance. Also Fola I finished my stint early to allow you to make some deals and playing the Chelsea fixture!

Haha no. I'm very fortunate that that the two formations I use work well and I use the right ones for the right game. This time it was a lot tougher. I still predict we will just survive this year which will be class for us. But we desperately need cash. Sadly the FA Cup run will probably end against Chelsea in the 4th round.

Last game of the save for me and a nice way to round it off.
Managed to drag us out of the bottom and into a safer position. Mark my words, the club is in a financial mess. Over the wage budget honorific to see. We just got to hope for a takeover and some cash or that we stay in the league and make some money, otherwise we are going to be bouncing backwards and forwards.
When the file uploads I will be passing to Fola.

Win pulls us out of the relegation zone and drops Wolves dangerously close to it. Fantastic display. Was impressed by our character.

Back to back wins in the league, the streak stays alive and the Doncaster faithful want blood. Taylor played really well.
#238635 Succession Game

The streak against Doncaster continues. We played well, we should have scored more. Still drawing level. Is this the spark to turn us around?
#238634 Succession Game
Cymro
Stole a win. Got to pick a pocket or two to stay up. Now drawing level on points with the team above the relegation zone.

Nothing. It is quite surprising, some real gems here and nothing from Europe. Movement seems to be South Korea ---> Europe / Qatar / UAE
BTW ... I can't edit my club above due to the fact that none of the Chinese club appear in the selection option, hence why I can't update season stats either.

My first season in charge, the job was going to be about getting the squad of players who had underachieved last season and really since Lippi retired to push themselves further and compete for the league title. My aim for the season was to re-arm the club and get them into Champions League football.
League Fixtures -.A successful season in the league. We didn't go through my typical mid season blip were injuries and cup runs caught up with us. It was quite the opposite. Highlight has to be putting 7 goals past Henan. The League Table won by a nice margin of 22 points. Very happy win the league in my first season here, not that easy as it might suggest. Shandong led the league for quite the early part, they slipped up towards the end and allowed us in.
Chinese FA Cup - Picked up another trophy, we played very well. We beat last seasons winner Renhe to claim the trophy. We played some lovely football. Also was nice to give a run to the youngsters in the early part of the competition.
CSL All Star Cup - League sides have had an interesting time against the All Star sides. We played well and a nice way to end the season off.
Transfers - Dueramae I was really keen to bring with me to China. The lad is class and the fact he also won't count as a foreigner due to his dual nationality with Hong Kong only served the club well. We kept him fresh and his injury problems did not materialise, whether that is down to management or the physio's facilities here is whether to be seen. Sadly for Thailand their manager didn't want him in internationals which meant he was kept fresh for us. Long term target Diaz was brought in to complement our outstanding Italian contingent, sadly he was onfire this season. Huszti was brought in to cover the left wing back roll but he looked lethargic at 33 and is on his way out at the end of the season when his contract expires. Lookout for James Eronna, he has the potential to be something special. The rest were Chinese players brought in to add and boost the numbers in the squad.
Finances - Having a Chairman who enjoys pumping money into the club is a good thing, means the book are always going to balance. However I'm not going to chuck money away for no reason. Must spend wisely.
Squad - The likes of Elkeson, Lin and Diamanti were the main stays on the side, they were a different class in this league. Look out for Wu Lei, he was fantastic. Our playmaker who was easily at home in the center of midfield or in the hole. There is a lot of talent in this squad and it is pleasing to see. Hardest will be to constantly improve the Chinese contingent at the club.
Youth Intake - The top three players will no doubt be excellent additions to the club in the future. They were offered contracts straight away. The rest I look to release.
Key Player Profiles:
Alessandro Diamanti - The Italian international play maker was sensational for us this season. Provided 15 important assists for us. Had to be managed carefully due to the nature of the leagues fixture calendar. Signed a new deal with the club too.
Elkeson - Played in the hole and upfront. Wherever he played he either scored or assisted. Simply a class above at this level in China. Had to be managed too, suffered fatigue midway through the season.
Gao Lin - His stats won't set the world alight but he was phenomenal for us. He only missed a few games all season and was unhappy when I said I was going to rest him. Great loyal player. Marvellous achievement to get to 100 international caps too. Hopefully he will produce the goods next season too.
Wu Lei - Our play-maker and all round hatrick specialist. Is a great player, expect to see China use more of him as the years go on.
