Welcome. I apologise for the poor update title.
2007 - Rynninge IK – Div 2 Ōstra Svealand – Brought to you by Candlemass: King of the Grey Islands
I have no idea what to say about this first season. Mediocrity abounds.
Final Position: 6th
Most Hated: “Managerless” Hammarby TFF
2008 – Rynninge IK – Div 2 Mellerstr Gõtaland - Brought to you by Tyr: Ragnarok
Divisions reshuffle like a deck of cards in Sweden and for much of the season we find ourselves in a two horse race for promotion with Sleipner, only to pip them to the post on goal difference on the final day of the season.
Final Position: 1st – Promotion!
Most Embarrassing: Is it a slight on my managerial abilities that the best piece of business performed by the club was for a Finnish striker that was arranged to transfer before my arrival at the club? It was largely down to him that we attained promotion. Sometimes I feel surplus to requirements – little more than a continue clicking automaton.
2009 – Rynninge IK – Div 1 Södra - Brought to you by Saturnus: Martyre
The difference in quality between Div 2 and Div 1 is non-existant and only recently relegated club Timra posed any threat to our run to promotion. They fell out of the race mid way leaving us with a clear path to the top.
Final Position: 1st – Promotion!
Most Annoying: A 5-0 thrashing by the aforementioned Timra the only blemish on what would turn out to be a unbeaten season. The pre-transferred Finnish striker once again proved key to our success.
2010 _ Rynninge IK – Superettan – Brought to you by Vried: I Krig
We were promotion candidates early on but were shunted down the table once the three Professional teams in the division got into gear. We did alright considering our status as relegation favourites. It's certainly an odd and potentially frustrating division to play in and with one year remaining on my contract I'm not sure I'll renew when it's up.
Final Position: 6th
Most Infuriating: Loan players not wanting to sign up properly despite having the Rynninge as favourite team as me as favourite personnel. Think of me shaking my fist when you are plying your trade at the bottom of the pyramid you ungrateful bastards!
After getting bored with giving the EPL the business with my beloved Arsenal I decided to try some LLM myself with Rynninge , so they're will probably be yet another Rhynn thread running at some point once I actually get the wifey to let me play for more than 20 minutes at a stretch.
You just have to love SD:ES where even teams like Hammersby who apparently are managed to glory by belligerent supporters since they absolutely refuse to hire a manager proper.
Fair enough I'll admit my knowledge of Swedish football is pretty much nil..in fact as a yank my knowledge of any league outside of the EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A, or any of the other elite leagues they cram down our throats in these parts is at the same level.
I wasn't really planning on playing Rhynninge IK but I was show down for LLM positions in just about every country I had loaded that I am remotely familiar with.
Rhynnige IK approached me with an offer, and I had no desire to sit around on an extended holiday watching the game play itself so I ran with it.
