Loaded up a bunch of leagues on background, with Iceland only selected as active. Holidayed for a year and took over newly promoted
Magni.
2007
There were no players or staff at the club, so throughout the preseason I signed 17 players on frees and a bunch of decent coaches. Our form was erratic, and due to the league season having only 22 games, we stayed in touch with both promotion and relegation throughout. However, a 3 match winning streak at the end of the season saw us steal promotion with an injury time winner in the very last game of the league.
1st division: 2nd (promoted)

Icelandic suck seal arse cup: out in first round
Player of the year: quick AM/FC, who was also top scorer.
2008
Media prediction: dead last, board and fans want a brave battle against relegation.
Signed 7 guys on frees, two others left. Form was even more erratic than last year, with alternating winless and unbeaten runs. Luckily there were clubs crappier than us, and we secured our existence in the top flight with two games to go.
Premier division: 7th

Icelandic suck seal arse cup: we actually managed to edge past Lettir, IA, Fylkir, KR and HK (all by a one goal margin or on penalties) to lift the cup and secure European football for next year.
Player of the year: top scorer S C, also young player of the year in Iceland.
2009
Media and board/fans: same as last year.
For the first time I had a 5k transfer budget and blew it all on a promising winger, 5 other players joined on frees, with 3 guys heading in the opposite direction. In the league we did poorer than last year, again however we were saved by the fact that three other teams were even worse.

Icelandic supercup: winners on penalties
UEFA cup:
1st qualifying round: won 5:1 on agg. against Seekirchen (an Austrian lower league team who somehow lifted the domestic cup)
2nd qualifying round: lost 2:3 on agg. against Monaco
Player of the year: the S C repeats last year's success (despite scoring a whopping 3 goals in the league)
2010
Media and board/fans: same as last year.
Last season's European exploits give us an even bigger transfer budget and again I spend it all on a promising AM C. Other signings include a towering centre back and a skilled attacker, while 4 players leave on frees. We start the season pretty badly, but improve dramatically towards the end and even have a shot at a UEFA cup slot, but a goalie - oppo striker pass & a failure to score against nine men in the following game caused us to finish fourth. We still got into the Intertoto, though.

2011
Media: 7th, board/fans: stay clear of relegation
Ten players join for a combined 6k, 14 leave on frees. We get battered 0:4 in our first game, but from then on bore our way to the title, winning 13 games (three of those by a margin of more than one goal) and losing only once.
