Good old Salford. Just made it to league football after 4 seasons. James Poole has been excellent for me. 100 league goals but I don't think he'll cut it in League 2.
Good luck climbing the leagues. Its a long way and finances are awful.
Too bad FM doesn't have a feature by which you could apply to join the English league structure like Swansea. Would bring back the challenge but put your European ambitions on hold if you were to jump to like League 2.
P.S.: Motivation is waning a little due to the slow progression of a save like this. Something with more intermittent success, like promotions might be better. Might start a new save after the January update with a lower league English side or a journeyman save. Suggestions are welcome.
2017 Summer Transfers
After my traditional end of season break to recharge and get some motivation back, its time to update you guys on this off seasons transfer business.
The goal for the off season was to, as always, strengthen the squad for European football while maintaining the Slovenian...
Thanks. I think it will take a couple seasons before I have an impact in Europe. Need to improve tactically or wait for the board to increase wages so we can attract some bigger talent.
Champions!!
Since we had such a comfortable lead at the winter break, it is no surprise that I am pleased to announce we are champions once again. That makes 2 Slovenian First League titles for me and like 100 hundred in a row for Maribor. Actually its 7 in a row. But as we go along, the...
European Dreamin'
After successfully qualifying for the Champions League and being knocked out of that competition after making a little noise, we were bumped into the Europe League knockout round where we were drawn against Dortmund. With the odds firmly against us, we were hoping for a...
Season 2 First Half
The first half of season 2 is in the books as we come to the end of 2016. As expected, we were knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage but we did enough to get into the Europe League.
Although we got embarrassed in a couple matches, especially against...
Champions League Qualification
Our goal every year is to qualify for the Champions League group stage due to the large amount of prize money that comes along with that achievement. Sure, our league campaign could do without all the extra fixtures early in the season but our balance would love...
Summer Transfers 2016
After taking a little break to regain motivation, I'm back with a summer transfer update.
It was a busy transfer window. We brought in a number of players to replace some who were sold and strengthen the squad ahead of another attempt at qualifying for the Champions...
Sporar was on my wanted listed but as rivals they would not sell him to me at a reasonable price. They wanted like 5 million from me but ended up selling him for 875k to some team out of the country. Bunch of jerks.
The growth of Slovenian Football
One of the goals of this save is to turn Slovenia into a football powerhouse on the international scene. Besides developing Slovenian talent at Maribor, rising the reputation of the Slovenian First League is also important towards that goal. Here's an update...
