That sucks donkeynuts for sure!

I'll never bother managing down there then.

Pangaea - Its a good level to manage at. The odd rough diamond.

The donkeynuts indeed. I was really getting into this save but i need a reserves squad playing regularly to push my first team.

Does League 2 in England = Serie C1/A?
If not, waht does C1/A equal?

retired_zakb2020

I'm fairly certain Italian teams don't operate reserve teams in real life so the game is actually being acurrate in not giving thme any fixtures.

I'm not sure if this would be considered tipping (if it is I'm sure it will be quickly expunged) but couldn't you just organise friendlies for your reserves throughout the season?

Arranging friendlies between your Reserves and U-18/19/20/21's is hardly the sort of game-breaking tip to get you thrown out of this forum.

(Note to mods: that wasn't an invitation.)

If you look at the Inter/Roma/Lazio reserve lists, they're all out on loan.....


A great update thread in any case, KUTGW! :thup:

09/10 Pizzighettone - Serie C1/A

Stay clear of relegation, have 7K as a transfer budget.

Stuff the the loans, I dont need them. I've got three kids who are going to be guns and a squad that has developed pretty well. We started well and stayed in the upper half of the table untill christmas. The transfer market opened and I was offered 375K for my ageing DMC. I'd been knocking back offers for him for three seasons and I thought i'd take the gamble. Out he went and in came 4 players* that bossed the midfield for the remaining of the season. We finished the season with our tails up and won promotion defeating Carrarese 3-1 in the playoff final.

P36 W14 D15 L7 F31 A17 Pts 57 Position 5th.

Out in the group phase of the C Cup.

Notes:
6 staff out
7 'good' staff in
5 players out for 375K
4 players in for 130K
No job offers?

132,710K in the red.

I think Serie B may be a bit of a glass ceiling for Pizzighettone as the board tell me we cant expand the stadium. (Fair enough, lets try and stay in the division). Capacity of only 1500 is hurting us finacialy. But I'll cross my fingers for Serie B.

:thup: on the promotion.

10/11 Pizzighettone - Serie B

Fight bravely (no **** sherlock), 18K transfer budget.

Fight bravely was the mantra this season. The kids were coming along well and i decided to splash the cash on a new striker. Fat load of good it did as the ***** went and broke his leg in the second practice match. Back to the drawing board. We started OK, sitting mid table for the first half of the season then dipping into the relegation places when the injuries hit. Gradually the boys worked it out and we finished the season with 4 0-0 draws and a win to guide us IMHO a very respectable 15th.

P42 W12 D12 L18 F27 A42 Pts 48 Position 15th.

Out in the group phase of the Italian suck arse Cup.

Notes:
1 player in for 18K (he is still injured, but its orange now).
6 players out 42K (mistake, should have kept a DC).
Staff, 1 in & 1 out.
Job offers from Wolves (L1/20th), Stoke (L1/16th) & Bradford (L1/14th). I was tempted by the Wolves job as i was a big fan of the big bovine chap who played there many a year ago.

228,768 in the black.

We have the lowest avg attendance of 1455, next best is Triestina with 7708. We've managed to remain in Serie B so i'm happy with that.

2011/12 Pizzighettone - Serie B

Fight bravely, 18K transfer budget.

We managed to avoid the drop last season so I thought this season I would see some improvement. Wrong. Started badly, continued badly and ended up in a playOUT final against Torino. My mistake was last seasons selling of my DC, who, upon his departure became very clear that he was the glue holding my defence together. One of my young guns will hopefully fill that void next season.

P42 W9 D14 L19 F25 A44 Pts 41 Position 18th.

Win 3-1 on aggregate against Torino in PlayOUT final.

Out in the group phase of the italian Cup.

Notes:
4 playeras in for 16K (all rubbish)
4 players out for 800K (one of my young guns to Inter)
Staff (getting sick of their faces, backroom needs a shake up)
Job offer from Huddersfield (L1/10th)
