Er, hi. I'm a first time poster to this area, but a farily long time lurker (that's the right word I think). Anyway, I started a LLM game, and thought it would be fun to keep a track of it. So here it goes.
I'm playing as
Fiaes in Portugal, with Holland, Belgium and France also selected.
2006/07 Portugese Second Division B - 9th
P26 W8 D8 L10 F28 A36 Pts32
Portugese Cup: 2nd round
Players In: 4 (3k)
Players Out: 20 (2k)
Two signings at the start of the season, a good GK, and a young AM/F LC with a lot of promise. We were 50/1 to win every match we played, but after a difficult start, we pulled out of the relegation by halfway through the season. The addition of a experienced DM meant we never looked back. Fans favourite was a young DC, although the GK was my hero.
At the end, I released any u18/reserve player that didn't cut down our losses, but we still reverted to semi-pro status.
2007/08 Portugese Second Division D - 11th
P26 W7 D6 L13 F41 A53 Pts27
Portugese Cup: 5th round
Players In: 1 (0k)
Players Out: 4 (1k)
After becoming semi-pro, and the board addressing me with their financial worries, I panicked and let my star GK leave, halving my wage bill. A big mistake, as the replacement I signed was useless, and we conceded goals for fun. A late push managed to pull us out of the relegation zone, clinching safety with a game to go.
Getting to the 5th round of the cup saw us destroyed by Primeira Liga Naval, and make our only monthly profit ever. Only a small profit though, apparantly Portugese fans think that cups suck arse. Main ST won player of the year.
2008/09 Portugese Second Division D - 14th
P26 W5 D4 L17 F29 A66 Pts19
Portugese Cup: 3rd round
Players In: 2 (0k)
Players Out: 6 (0k)
Another year, another goalkeeper. This one sucked too. We were doing well halfway through the season, but a huge slump saw us drop to last and relegation, followed quickly by my resignation. ST got fans favourite again.
This led us to newly promoted...
KSV Sottegem (Zottegem?) of Belgium 2009/10 Belgian Third Division A - 8th
P30 W12 D7 L11 F40 A40 Pts43
Belgian Cup: 4th round
Players In: 9 (0k) + 3 loans
Players Out: 0 (0k)
11 playing staff, no backroom staff, but a comparably large fanbase to the rest of the league, and making a monthly profit were good signs.
Key signings were a beanpole striker and a loanee to partner him. But the Belgian 3rd division is weird with it's 3 phases. In the end the season was quite avarage, although a lot better than the board was expecting. In november I was offered a 2 year extension, which I accepted. Beanpole bagged 13 in 30, and won the Div 3 A player of the year. Yay for him.
Fiaes-ing the impossible 
The short name is Zottegem, so I guessed one was just a typo.
