Before we begin, this is my first update. So I didn't bother thinking of an amusing name. The save is exactly what it says in the title. All the Scandanavian countries available down to the their lowest league. Which is Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Just in case you don't know.
I started unemployed of course. Went on holiday and after a few days got a job offer from Gunnilse. In the Second Division West Gotaland.
Season 2006 - Gunnilse - West Gotaland Prediction: 2nd
Board + Fans: Challenge for promotion
So a lot on my back in the first season as manager. Everyone wants promoion. But when I looked at the squad I immediately signed a scout. Because we seriously needed to strengthen to challenge for promotion. So 30 players are shown the door(Including Youth and Reserved) for 16k and 13 new ones are signed for a total of 6k. Which leaves us with a very small squad. But with now cups and 22 game a season it shouldn't be a big problem.
We tied the first game. But than went on a 6 game winning streak and an 8 game unbeaten run. The entire season only two teams challenged for promotion. Us an Lindome. With 3 games to go and a 5 point lead to Lindome. I came up against them in a must win match. We beat them 4-2 and reduce the lead to 2 points only with 2 games to go. The next game Lindome lose again and I win. Last game of the season I make sure I win although Lindome lost anyway. Promotion!

Season 2007 - Gunnilse - Swedish First Division North Predicion: 12 out of 14(which means relegation)
Board + Fans: Fight bravely
One olayer is shown the door for 14k. 9 players sign for 7k. Not too many changes made to the squad. I believed in the squad I had last year and thought they can handle this league. Which isnt much stronger than the Gotaland. We never really took off. Tooke 5 games to get first win. And since win, tie, loss, win, tie, loss. Last game of the season we find ourselves in relegation zone. 2 points from safety. We win, and team above us loses. One more season in the North.

Cups: This year was drawn into the cup. Lost in the 1st Round.
Season 2008 - Gunnilse - Swedish First Division North Prediction: 8th
Board and Fans: Stay clear of relegation
This time I made sure I was ready. 10 players in for 3k. Lots of youngster. 30 players out of 110k. My starting keeper was sold to FC Haka of the Finland Premier League for 110k late in the season. The rest were a bunch of useles reserves that were already signed untill 2008 and I first came to the club. I waited all this time to release them. Now my wage budget is like cut in half.
We crusied through the first two rounds of the cup. Including Lindome(Who got promotes to South) in the second round. The third round draw sent is to Swedish Cup Holders Malmo FF an their 27500 capacity stadium. That should give is a nice sume of money. Let a lone a nice sum of goals. I did get about 100k to my red bank. But goals I didnt. Malmo's strikers forgot where the net was and kicked high in the sky all day. Despite having endless one on one situation with my keeper. Who made a number of amazing saves himself. Our only attack of the game in the 82nd minute caught Malmo sleeping and our top goalscorer for the season made them pay for it with a beautiful goal. That was the game winner and Gunnilse sends the Cup holders Malmo home! Next Round we played some First Division Elite team. Lost 3-2 and made 50k.
Enough of cups. Despite a heart worming cup run. We struggles in the league. At least in the majority of the season. Finding ourselves 10 points from top and 2 point from relegation after 18 games. But somehow we managed to pick it up and get 19 points from the last 24. Finnishing 4th and 8 points from top. 6 from playoffs.
