Alright lads first time posting but I assure you I have played the rules fair even though I only registered today.

Season 2006 - SKA-Khabarovsk – Russian First Division

Expected to finish 12th of 22 which sounded reasonable, given a whole 70k to spend. First half of the season saw a surge to the top of the league, but the absence of a consistent goalscorer and the sale of a Russian U19 DC for 300k saw us fade away in the last 10 games, following a 16-game unbeaten run with a 7 match winless streak. Secured a nice new contract and a bit more cash, turned a nice profit and managed to acquire a few youngsters from around Russia. Oh, and my Youth Coach is wanted by all the Moscow clubs yet keeps turning them down. Feeder clubs appear commonplace in Russia and I acquired Latvia’s Valmiera over the course of the campaign.

League: 4th - P42 W19 D12 L11 GF50 GA35 GD15 PTS69
Cup: Lost on pens to Amkar in Sixth Round (not impressive, entered in Fifth!)
Transfers: 14 in for 140k, 7 out for 400k

Russian Premiership: CSKA Moscow
Russian Cup: CSKA Moscow

Season 2007 - SKA-Khabarovsk – Russian First Division

6th place finish predicted this time round, whereas I wanted to push on for promotion. New Brazilian SC found form and bagged 11 despite long-term injury, as did my other striker. Star player proved to be an aging MC with a knack for free-kicks, but once again inconsistency let us down – back to back runs of 3 wins, 4 losses, 5 wins, 3 losses, 9 unbeaten then only 3 points from the last 5 games saw us slip away down to a disappointed finish, 12 points off the top two. My scout is still stuck in Eastern Europe, but we now have ‘exceptional knowledge of the area.’ Grabbed a second feeder club in FC Kharkiv of Ukraine, and was passed over for the Rubin job.

League: 5th – P42 W23 D5 L14 GF68 GA42 GD+26 PTS74
Cup: Out in Sixth Round to Amkar again, 3-1 this time
Transfers: 6 in for 240k, 5 out for 110k

Russian Premiership: Saturn
Russian Cup: CSKA Moscow
Champions League: Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona
UEFA Cup: Valencia 3-1 Sevilla


Season 2008 - SKA-Khabarovsk – Russian First Division

This time I feel we have a shot at the big time, but I’m quickly proved wrong by only 11 points from the opening 8 games. By half-way I’m within a couple of points of the top spot, and with 6 games to go a promotion slot is mine. However, a ridiculous run-in saw us play 5 of the top 8, and we ended up missing out on the final day. Serious decision-making followed, but I decided to give it another go and signed a one-year extension. Plusses came from the form of freebie Russian SC, bagging 18 for the year, emergence of a new CB and the eventually signing of another AMC. On the down-side, both my first-choice wingers suffered major injuries, my AML still having 4 months out.

League: 3rd – P42 W21 D9 L12 GF56 GA40 GD+16 PTS72
Cup: Sixth Round again, 4-1 on aggregate to arch-rivals Luch
Transfers: 9 in for 325k, 11 out for 350k
Russian Premiership: CSKA Moscow
Russian Cup: CSKA Moscow
Champions League: Real Madrid 3-0 Barcelona (hmm…)
UEFA Cup: AC Milan 2-0 Athletico Madrid
European Championships: England 1-0 Turkey

I would suggest not with you making two posts here today...

Official Off Topic Thread Page 1 2 ... 272 273 (in Good Player & Team Guide) by thefittestboyhere
I think we all agree we need a new one without people being mean to Birdy...

Off topic or not, no llama would even consider going into the GPG forum, just like no respecting GPG comes in here unless they are serious about trying LLM.
There are always a few idiots though...

thefittestboyhere

I didnt look at any of the posts thought all I did was contribute to the Off the Topic as I enjoy banter without getting any help

Nobby_McDonald

There's an off topic thread in here, and a whole off topic forum. Going into GPG 'just for an off topic thread' doesn't wash.

thefittestboyhere

so I cant post in here and off the topic in their forum?

turnip

You can do whatever you like.

But it's very odd that you'd go to GPG for the off-topic thread alone when there's a whole forum dedicated to blithering right at the bottom of the list.

I know, but I had only clicked on Football Manager Forums so that didnt appear. Wont happen again

I Get the impression that Nobby is the LLM version of the Gestapo. either that, or is a sexual deviant who gets his kicks trying to be a cyber warrior. Either way, its pretty disturbing.

It's a good job you're not a psychologist by profession.

Magoo...Simon's a hoary old LLaMa, like myself. He's been here since 2002 and has seen literally hundreds of guys come in here and pretend to be LLM.

He's also seen guys come from the Devil's fora and become valued LLaMas, but they're few and far between.

One thing is for certain. No-one posts in the Devil's fora and here at the same time...not only because it causes big bother...but also because guys who truly want to be LLM find out very quickly that the two don't combine, if you're a LLaMa you don't do Satanism.

That said, don't do forum police, Simon, if there's any bother from non-LLaMas then steps will be taken, and all that jazz.
