Here I come again!
Back from skiing in Alps and ready for the new season of CM. Unfortunately my players were not as keen as I was [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="smile[/IMG].

Here is the table:

I finished 8th. So much for high expectations this season. We started awful with 1 win and 4 loses in 5 games. Then we managed to mantain 8th position throughout the hole season. What am I doing wrong here?!!

My standard GK was a dissapointment this season. Although he had an high avr., he conceded too many goals. The other GK is now worth 50K, and was keeping our goals clean of balls for quite well.

Our 18 yo Denish S C scored 7 goals again this season. He played 17 games and receieved an avr. rtg. of 7.12.

Otherwise I do not know what are we doing wrong. We seem to lose every important game we play. We had some oportunities to climb higher on the table, but we always lost. These has to be repaired this season.

Finances are in red figures, but only about 40K. Still we can not afford to buy anyone. Neither we can not loan any player. Therefor our team is based on young players.

In Swedish cup, we managed to get to group1 2 round after beating Edsberg 1:0 at home. We then lost after penalties against Hässleholm 3:2. [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif" alt="frown[/IMG]

Hope to see ya soon in new season, but that will probably be next year.

I never thought that my Swedish campaign will end in such a stupid way!
Grrr! And it is all my fault. I made a stupid mistake by selling young 18 yo Danish Striker to Danish premier league club for 400K. That jumped right back into my face.
Here is the table first:

Yes, we relegated after normal start with 1-1-1 in 3 games. It was abvious from the beginning, that we concede to many goals. But my 60K SWE GK was a captain also and I didn't have a replacement. In the end he conceded 31 goals in 15 played matches. Unbelievable!!! The other GK 28 yo SWE conceded 16 in 12 matches.
Our 25 yo skillful S C scored 11 goals this year, but that wasn't enough.
Otherwise our team played well. This was the first season that ended with no player avr r under 6.00.

Of course we had the opportunity to stay in the league, but the playoffs were lost by that lousy GK I trusted again (me moron!!! [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif" alt="mad[/IMG])!
The first match we lost 1-0 away to Lilla Träslöv. The second match we won 4-3 at home. Of course Lilla Träslöv got promoted due to away goals. I would have been calm, if we wouldn't leed 3-0 and 4-2. But NOOOOOOO! We gotta get last minute goal [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif" alt="mad[/IMG]!

Now I will take New Years Eve off and then start again in some LL in new year. Untill then, Happy new year, and may all your wishes come true (including CM [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]).

Why not wait and see if you can pick up another job? This could be the start of another world relegation tour! [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]

I waited for the job. Seems that every jackass gets a job before I do. So.. I started again with Järfälla. Report on that will be done after the first half of the season.
