I'm shit at Football Manager, like really, really dreadful. So I've decided to try one of the hardest, and best known challenges.

 

This will likely be dreadful and last about two posts, but I've a strange history of having exciting moments in career threads, so the prospect of me losing the fucking head as my star Indonesian player leaves me for a club in Thailand for an extra £5 a week is a tantalising one.

 

As the challenge demands, I've started unemployed with no reputation. Started with only the Asian leagues and the South African league loaded....

 

So here we go, I suppose...

And we have a starting club!

Yeah, me neither.

Yeah, me neither.

 

 

Seems a decent-ish core of players. I've somehow got £3.5k a week for a wage budget and £10k for transfer, but I'm projected to absolutely pump money out my arse. A Summer spending spunk to help me win the league and hopefully win a move (Korea or Australia hopefully) before the inevitable financial collapse is my aim.

My first ever signing. A man who shall now follow me wherever I go, hopefully. No doubt he'll be a shite player and coach though.

Turns out I'm not allowed any foreign players, so Bertrand, easily my best player and just about the best in the league, won't be able to play for me  :lol:

I also just sold my star striker Purwanto for £1.5k because I have a useless left winger with a similar name and I got them confused.

 

Theres already talk about me being the "Gary Locke of Indonesia"

This is how low down the ladder I've started, the whipping boys of the Indonesian Second Division. We'd need to finish in the top two to qualify for the Promotion Play-Offs, which is actually just another mini-league involving the top two sides of the four second tier leagues. Not that its relevant to know that just now..

Second half of the season is going better, so much so this just popped up...

They play in the top division, and are fully professional. They sit inside the relegation zone but only barely, and keeping them up would be a massive boost to my reputation. Winning a decent move from Indonesia will be very hard indeed unless I can win the league.

 

I didnt get it  :(

First season in my search to become the greatest manager of all time ends with what every young aspiring manager seeks out, a 7th placed finish in Indonesias second tier. The ghosts of the all time greats are quivering in their graves.

 

Second half of the season was promising, and suggests I might be able to stumble further up the league next season.

The first gamble of this career, feel like I'll struggle to achieve anything in Indonesia so I'm getting out before I get bogged down. Hong Kong seems a likely destination.

Yeah, me neither..

 

Not convinced I've moved up the ladder any, but I'm now in a top flight of football and in a division which has an access into the Asian CL. Unfortunately Im the newly promoted team and have no staff or anything.

 

They have just paid the fees for me to get my C Licence though..

One of my players just got called up to the Hong Kong squad, I've no idea who they are, but I said well done to them during a squad meeting. I can only speak English at the moment anyway so they all just continued staring blankly at me. I tried asking my assistant manager but he just nodded his head and said "good idea". I feel like thats the only words he knows so I'll be testing him in the future. Hopefully I'll see one of them missing during training and figure out who it was.

 

Until then the mystery continues.

 

FWIW we currently sit fourth in the league, but some teams have only played about two games or something. I've no idea how this all works.

The other teams have caught so we're 8th, one place above the relegation zone. I've turned away from my tiki-taka football and moved to complete hoofball. The media now speak to me, but only to laugh at me.
