August 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th August 2024 Welcome back to Latvia where I've got a couple of things to get you updated on. Firstly the board came to me and asked me what I thought about them extending my contract. My initial reaction was...
July 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia28th May 2024 When I'm about to tell you that things are going ridiculously well, then you'd probably think I've got a win or two! You wouldn't be wrong, but you are wrong at the same time! We are absolutely flyin...
Is this still going @bigmattb28?! Sounds like one helluva save and I'm here to follow it!Nice to see you still going strong on these forums!
May 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia26th May 2024 1st half of the season here in Latvia has been completed and we now head into the month long break they have here. We're absolutely flying as you'll soon see which is really pleasing to see. The new 4...

April 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th April 2024 Football comes thick and fast here in Latvia. 6 league games this month and they come with weird gaps in between them! Sometimes we're playing 2 games in 3 days which seems absurd to me. Anyway, I...
March 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia22nd March 2024 We've reached the new season at last. New players have settled in, and tactics embedded in. I'm hoping for a good season ahead, and one where we can surprise a few people in the process. Only time...
Pre-Season Update | FS Jelgava | Latvia13th March 2024 After all the excitement of our near miracle relegation escape last season, life has settled into a normal routine. I hit my local breakfast spot ‘Silvas Bistro' which is only a short journ...
November 2023 | FS Jelgava | Latvia12th September 2023That's it, the season is done with. My first season in charge of an actual football team. I have good and bad news to report later in this post, but the first bit is that my only other member of...
October 2023 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th September 2023 Who said Latvian football isn't exciting eh? The difference in the squads morale from when I first took charge and now is like chalk and cheese. They believe they can win every game, a...
September 2023 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th September 2023 I had been in charge for a meagre 2 days before my first game in charge, and that first game couldn't have been any harder. A massive game against title leaders Riga. Could we upset them?...
The Season So Far | FS Jelgava | Latvia19th September 2023 You'll be aware that it took me well over a year to get my first job in Football Management until I landed the gig at FS Jelgava. They're more than half-way through their league campaig...
Welcome to the Football Management gig, Tongey. It's only taken a mere 440 days since starting out. That doesn't matter anymore as we're off and rolling now. I'd been declaring my interest in numerous clubs from around Europe whilst sitting on my ev...

SAVED FOR HISTORY
I'm back, and I'm delighted to be here once again. I've been browsing the SortItOutSi Forums for a while now, and have been itching to get into one of my usual styles of saves once more. I've decided to blog it for you all as hopefully, it'll keep me goin...
The aim is a simple one. To climb the Jacobs Ladder and perch upon the top with my arms aloft.
A Youth Only Challenge through the Spanish leagues.
Newcastle Jets are a team full of history in the A-League! Success to follow soon I'm sure!!
Nice to see you back with a journeyman! Always enjoy reading them. Unlucky to not pip Persib to the post, but a dreadful game against them was always in the script eh! Back to the drawing board and go again next season!
EP.27 - End of Season 2027/2028 Update - FC OrenburgRussia, Russia, Russia, what are you doing to me! I've spent half the time on the training pitches in Orenburg and the remainder of the time in a vodka fuelled celebration in the local town centre! An ex...
@Skinner_ I will forever have a hatred for Smorgon, and that will never ever go! I hope you will join me!@DNZY, easy as that eh? I don't think they will all be as easy as that one though. --------------------------------------------------------------...
EP.25 - Supierkubak Bielarus - Shakhtyor Soligorsk Just a quick update to bring you up to date with how we fared in the Supierkubak Bielarus after managing to win the Vysejsaja Liha & Kubak Bielarusi last season. We were up against BATE-Borisov i...

EP.22 - Back to Belarus - FC Shakhtyor SoligorskI didn't expect to be in Belarus this quickly but an opportunity presented itself to me that I couldn't turn down. It actually took a while to get a job interview in the books, but once the first one was don...
End of Season Update 2027 - Vikingur OlafsvikDID WE DO IT? DID WE DO IT? You'll find out during this latest update, but things continued to roll nicely for us. We also had an even worse draw in the European Conference League to try and battle through. It...
Never thought I'd find myself rooting for the ‘Penzance Pirates’ as they will now be forever known as. Got to have that American flair to the name! If all else fails you could have Glen running down that right win and latching onto long balls right?...
@Skinner_ thanks for taking the time to catch up! Really appreciate it. Yeah, we've made good progress, but more to come soon hopefully! That duplicate issue seems to ave resolved itself for now. I think it was to do with once I had signed them, I allowed...
Pre-Season Update 2027 - Vikingur OlafsvikThe off-season has disappeared and I'm thinking it's win or bust this season. We really have to win the title, otherwise I don't think it will happen for me here at Vikingur Olafsvik. We have a good enough squad t...
End of Season Update 2026 - Vikingur OlafsvikAnother season in the books over here in Iceland. Another year ticks by and having already won the Deildabikar this season I was looking to complete the double by winning the league title and then subsequently...
Mid-Season Update 2026 - Vikingur OlafsvikI've whistled through another first half of a season, and even had another little paddle in the European Conference League just for the hell of it. I think I've really built something to be proud of here in Icelan...
You can say that again @bigmattb28! I didn't expect that at all, but the league was so close at the halfway stage, it could've easily gone either way! Yeah that would be the better way of doing things! It shouldn't be the clubs decision 100%. -...
End of Season Update 2025 - Vikingur OlafsvikEnd of our first season in the Pepsi Deildin over in Iceland.Here we are at the end of another brilliant season over on the gorgeous Island called Iceland. Fantastic football combined with fantastic scenery. Th...
Mid-Season Update 2025 - Vikingur OlafsvikAs you can tell by the speed of my updates, I'm absolutely speeding through seasons here. It really does make a difference when there is only 22 games in a league season over in Iceland. I forgot to update you on...
@bigmattb28 I look forward to seeing what adventure you head out on! I'll be following for sure! Thanks for reading man, really do appreciate it! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
End of Season Update 2024 - Vikingur OlafsvikI've been enjoying this save so much, especially where am I now over in Iceland! I've sped through the second half of the 2024 season, not that it took much doing as it was only 11 league games! So without more...
@Skinner_ I didn't expect the two trophies this early on in my time at Vikingur to be honest. If I could somehow get to the Group Stage it would make a massive difference in club finances! @bigmattb28, awesome to see you comment on here! Kind words c...
Pre-Season Update 2024 - Vikingur OlafsvikI've not had as much time to play the game due to all the pre-Christmas excitement and festivities so progress has been slower than normal. There has been progress so that's the main thing. Further steps towards t...
I like to draw influence from my favourite content creators haha @Skinner_! Never like to be relegated but it made me move to Iceland and I'm loving it again! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Mid-Season Update 2023: (Vikingur Olafsvik)The fire in my belly is back, and I'm back to enjoying management once again. Iceland has stunning scenery and amazing backdrops in which to play football in front of! You just can't beat it! The only thing I cou...
Club #2 - Land of Fire & IceWelcome to Iceland! The next destination on my journey around the world! It's a country I've always wanted to visit in real life, but I've never got round to it. Now I've got the chance to manage there virtually at the easi...
I appreciate that faith @HockeyBhoy. You're right, it's very tough at the top of Belarusian football! Whod've thought it eh? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Mid-Season Update 2022:I knew this season wouldn't be as easy as last season, but I never knew I would't be enjoying my time here this quickly! Things have not gone well, and whatever I try doesn't seem to be working. I'll keep on going with Slonim until...
Absolutely insane challenge ahead! Love reading your stories, and they inspire me massively! Let's get on with it!!
All to easy in the First League @Skinner_. I've a feeling that my time in the Higher League will not be as enjoyable to start with! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
