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.

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

It would be nice to stay at Metz, even though Bordeaux are a good side although underachieving.

Well done on the trophies mate, good luck at Corinthians! should be another interesting job to take on!


Thanks buddy! The job at Corinthians is a very difficult as there is a big shortage of quality. However, in the first season I will try to get that promotion spot as first place is surely too much with that gap.
#53931 The Free Player "Challenge"
loscules22

So, this challenge consists of top league teams around the world having all of their players released on a free transfer (using the editor of course).

The wage budget is set the same for all the clubs (eg. £1.5 million for every club). Make sure that the "add players to playable teams" option is unticked so you will have no regens at all the clubs. Basically, you will have every "world class player" available on a free. So with clubs like Aston Villa, Moenchengladbach, Deportivo and Saint Etienne, you can sign the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Rooney and Casillas all for a grand total of £0. However the wage budget should be set to no more than £2 million for every club so there are no unrealistic wages.


So it is your duty as manager of a club (your favourite club is ideal) to bring them the best players around to guide them to world domination.

Good job in the first season mate. Good luck in the cup this time round. Also your Champions League group is surely too tough for you to progress but maybe, just maybe you can grab a Europa spot by finishing third. KIU

Good job in Wales. Though job in Ireland now. Wages are almost double of the budget. Need to cut some dead wood here. Squad looks stable though. Good enough to get to the top this year. I think first is to high, but second is possible for sure. Good luck with it.


Thanks Benniewijs. Wales was almost a walk in the park. I enjoyed managing Port Talbot. The quality of the players at Col Corinthians is far inferior to that at Port Talbot. I sure need to offload some of the dead wood as my payroll is really low.

I applied for 2 jobs, Drolysden and Col Corinthians. Both approached me and I have taken up the Col Corinthians job.

I inherit the side in 9th place in the Airtricity First Division, some way off the leaders but there are 29 games to go and stranger things have happened. I know that it is nearly impossible to win the league but I will try to build a squad capable of challenging for a playoff place.

The squad report

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fSHgNvBeTwNlUXS0jExzlrINXfMGrfNHavrItvqC.png

Not a bad side but there are some areas which need improving especially in defence. Brian Breen can't play in 3 positions at once! He can't even play because he's out on loan at Haverfordwest!

Sadly, my Port Talbot career has come to an end after winning all playable leagues and cups, thus completing the Welsh leg of the British Steel Challenge.

Some standout players from the team were :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eCdfMSEb8S8zwadhHe34kaqKqnTZQmOqLWX4c52U.png

Without him in goal, we certainly wouldn't have been successful.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/J19p5Z3n8g2R7DjMNuSmXT9U4n60YeCizUFJQ8Ms.png

Thornton's long-range passes and wondergoals helped us in dire situations.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5Pui9WozJGwwWS5kFfmbWy4QAS8IBpNkixc6WWnL.png

Twose's passing helped us on our way to those titles.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/YZsy7xD0WyzkwULPBRqWLLupZQqXIJChrbvJobdQ.png

Williams's crossing was brilliant these past 2 years, setting up some handy goals.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/yhcgUI3b0mImbuk16p7C9cYlywhE5TtwS96Boke2.png

Finally, Rose's goals played a major part in our successes.

Thornton has won the Player of the year award

The remaining fixtures :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/omGbWth0j12Il51SkJA1ULSSrDJ517RJ9MQKlC5T.png

We needed 5 points from those fixtures to win the title. That we did. A diving header from Paul Williams resulted in a narrow 1-0 win. We then faced Llanelli were we succumbed to a 0-2 defeat. The title would have to wait another day. Aberystwyth were our next opponent. We gladly beat them 2-0 to clinch the title.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1mcbTsMt8s49XqD9Dilzw4j4EzrOXgdy5GXNhcjY.png

Our last game at Rhyl was played by the reserves who were defeated 2-0

The final league table :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/lubMTTzeQgpxG4bFSsMGyNNBjevoxamYNayHsulU.png

We finally won the league 4 points in front of Neath, with Llanelli 4 points further back in third. At the other end, Bala and Haverfordwest faced the agony of relegation.

Port Talbot vs Llanelli


Could we really do it? Could we really upset the huge favourites to win the title?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/oHQE0BbVtAyP0FNKZNBCBLijMtymmgXt2vVxG2CM.png

YES WE COULD.

Ian Nagle gave us the lead in the 38th minute following a corner. Striker Martin Rose then doubled our lead from the spot. However, Racine put Llanelli back in it following a McKeown freekick. Exactly from the kickoff, Joe Miller restored our two goal cushion with a header following a Paul Williams cross. Then deep into stoppage time, Matthew Grieve headed in a consolation goal for Llanelli.

Some nice results on the whole however the loss to Aberystwyth was very disappointing.

Here are the results :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/4zjCvoPZrwZpYAVnZ4tgDKrKjLmDIKDUp4g5yktp.png

There are some very pleasing wins in there especially the 4-0 win over TNS. The star performers for this season are Thornton and Martin Rose who is scoring in almost every game.

The league table look like this :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kt1GWfqyAVxqL515abfQleiSyfhLATIgQy0ai3vs.png

We are in a good position to challenge for the title, although Neath are a very tough nut to break. 3 points can be gained or lost in a single week so it is very tight at the top.

Welsh Cup :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hezG5Edno1u1cHIddGGvMSbrEdbkqTpi5R6N63jb.png

After winning this title last year, I couldn't care less about it and played with the reserves to give them some match experience.

League Cup :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9A9hahaWCceH8J60S6IvAK1qY0CTAqhTlVZEiWj8.png

We have a good shot at winning this one this year. We easily defeated Bala and Airbus to progress to the final against Llanelli.

Transfers :

Just the one transfer in this time around. A young goalkeeper to replace Rogers as he will step down to semi-pro football.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/yFZXn951myjL9jATqiXLFjXhlCfmP2dbSQ84l4c8.png

POTENTIALLY GOOD NEWS :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/IFbTEqi6hMTrtEEcAB0uS3SHZ7EFuW09FjGCxfAi.png

A board takeover has been going on almost for 4 months now. The current chairman has said that either a deal will be done very soon or it will be cancelled. The reason behind this is because he wants me to operate freely in the transfer market.

Will be posting an update at the end of the season.

Nice work getting the cup. The Euro matches are a nice bonus. But some of those youth players seemed like real crackers compared to what you signed in januari. Think you have a good change challeging this season. Thorton looks very good aswell.


Thanks Dyrim. Yeah as I said three of those youth players (P.Williams, Twose and Edwards) are now in my first 11. Thornton is an extremely good signing at this level. He has been providing great passes and has scored some wonder goals from long-range.

Friendlies :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PbehR6e9opudUiNehn02oReJ5ZtnhuseDNo1uVTf.png

Friendlies weren't that bad considering they were all against bigger clubs. The Europa League matches were just for experience as we did not stand a chance. We also gained 90k in prize money and that put us back in the black.

Transfers :

My only signing was this guy, who destroyed us last year when he was with Aberystwyth

Our final league matches of the season were :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6lm2ZBRRHfqXSw0PN894vsq8zhUP687E7PPjZc8D.png

Our first match against Aberystwyth was a complete disaster. After going 5-0 down a quickfire double from Cortez Belle reduced the deficit to make it 5-2.

We then faced Prestatyn. As is becoming our custom, we went behind early through a long range shot, only to respond with two second half goals to seal the victory.

The game against Carmarthen was amazing. After going behind early in the first half to a Tom Hicks goal, we quickly turned it around for 2-1 with goals from Darren Edwards and a penalty from Nathan Cotterrall. Tom Hicks then equalised with a header from a free kick. Paul Williams then put us back in front with an amazing solo goal. However, it wasn't our night as Tom Hicks scored again to seal his hat-trick.

Finally we faced Bangor City. I rested the first team for the Welsh Cup Final, so I played the reserves. However, they weren't up to the challenge as they got easily beaten 3-0.

The final league table looks like this :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/oFodSHJNtQKUd3Z0GOpGM5QdMeJyX8nJ0i56DKVR.png

Welsh Cup.

In the semis we played Wrexham, a Welsh team plying in the English leagues. This was up to now the toughest of all of our fixtures.

The team however played beautifully, and we didn't give Wrexham any chance of going through to the final. Nearly every single pass met its destination. However, we couldn't put away most of our chances and could only snatch it by a goal to nil through Nathan Cotterrall. We were through to the final to play league runaway winners Neath.

The Final :

Nobody gave us a chance. Everyone underestimated us. Not a single person believed that we could pull off an upset. How wrong they were.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/LgnjZjUMmSAmn63jev2zN9qfuZRTXK0oI3NpZdjj.png

Right from the start we dominated the game. Paul Williams set up the first goal for Martin Rose to strike past Neath's helpless goalkeeper. Williams again provided the second goal two minutes after the break for Craig Jones to tap in from close range. However shortly afterwards, Neath were back in it. A long range shot from Lee Trundle easily beat our goalie, Kristian Rogers, only for the ball to cannon off the bar. Unluckily for Rogers, the ball also hit him in the back and went in. We then started to become complacent. However it wasn't to be for Neath, who were looking to do the league and cup double.

In the middle of April, I received a new contract offer from the board as my previous deal had only two months to run.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ofWynY9ZSAVg6O3Y2lou2RxXyZmMkX6SKK7Gb5OA.png

Anyway I am delighted after that cup win, with my first trophy in Wales chalked off.
