Cockfosters To Premier League

[Astonmatu]

I wanted to get a real challenge in this game, so I took a team from the lowest league possible 10lvl league. And my main aim is to get to the Premier League, win it, and after that CL . Of Course Im not going to do it with 11 seasons, but ill try my best. I personally hope to achieve first Premier League Title after 20 seasons . Will see how it goes.

Anyway, now about the team Ive choosed. Cockfosters. Indeed one of the reasons why i choosed it was due to the interesting name. But is a real football club and placed in suburb of North London, lying partly in the London Borough of Enfield and partly in the London Borough of Barnet. Nickname "Fosters" luckily the last part of the club name has won a lot of minor league trophies through its history

* 1946-47 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Division One runner-up
* 1949-50 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Division One Champions
* 1950-51 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Premier Division runner-up
* 1960-61 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Division One Champions
* 1961-62 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Premier Division Champions
* 1965-66 - Northern Suburban Intermediate League Premier Division runner-up
* 1966-67 - Herts County League Division One Champions
* 1978-79 - Herts County League Champions
* 1980-81 - Herts County League Champions
* 1982-83 - Herts County League runner-up
* 1983-84 - Herts County League Champions
* 1984-85 - Herts County League runner-up
* 2006-07 - Spartan South Midlands League Division One runner-up

What im trying to do is to give a massive boost of reputation and popularity to this club

In The Beginning I should say, that I have already 1,5 seasons behind me, so ill start reporting from the past !

Its the stadium called "The Cockfosters Sport Ground" In FM game its capacity is 1000 and 50 of them are seated. Also Facilities are all in minimal LVL. Finances are like they are 0. And club is amateur. The biggest advantage what ull have if u choose Cockfosters (in 10th lvl clubs) is that this club have a bit reputation in the early stage of the season (50 points out of 10000) and its pretty important. Ull get the point after my next post.

First step is to get promotion from
English Spartan South Midlands
Football League Division One

Database England lvl 10 and above, small database. Edited nation Estonia, New Club FC Sepad, and new players from club FC Sepad.

Interesting one, good luck with it.

 

[Div_Muzza]

Is that a real team?

 

[Astonmatu]

if u read my first thread through ull understand thats a real team

 

[Div_Muzza]

I did but surely it should be Coqfosters looking at the badge. Or is it a place name.

No it is spelt "****" if you mean the Rooster

 

[Div_Muzza]

Oh well. I can only imagine the abuse the fans would get.

 

[Aannddyy]

Good luck mate, this should be interesting

Oh well. I can only imagine the abuse the fans would get.

I would imagine there's only 10 or 20 fans there anyway..

 

[Div_Muzza]

Probably true.

Pre-season

Of course in the start of Managing such a small club I tryid my all to bring higher calibre players to the squad. I succeed suprisingly well . I thought that no player PL clubs will agree to join my team to loan, but again fortunately i was wrong . Thew threads ago i mentioned that Cockfosters have reputation (50 points ) and its great.

2009 July


I made 17 friendlies to try to make some money. Its pretty hard and pointless due to the fact that big clubs are not willing to play with my club and the stadium capacity is depressingly low. But anyway i managed to get 2-3t pounds. I guess its a big money for amateur club. And something about amatuer club what i really like, u can fire each player staff member hire new ones and dont have to think about ur finances u can get 100 players to ur squad and still no problem (although i dont recommend to get 100 players, because squad harmony will fall very fast after that).
​

TRANSFERS


In July i got 25 new players (H):O(6) to my squad !!!!!!!!!!! I fired most of my old players, it means i just ended their contracts. And now something amazing : look at the players i got for loan (8 of 25 was on loan deal)

​

Danny Bunce DL DWL (Free from Grays)
​

Romone Rose AM RL, ST (loan Q.P.R)
​

Daniel Philliskirk MC (loan Chelsea) Great
​

​

Luke Ayling DC (loan Arsenal) Great

Alex Stavrinou DR DMC MC (loan Charlton)

Marko Mitrovic ST (loan Chelsea) SUPERB

Adam Phillip AM RL (loan Chelsea)

Matthew Saunders DMC MC (loan Fulham) Great

Michael Bryan MR (loan Watford) Failed

also i had an astonishing chance to sign Gael Kakuta on loan deal, but unfortunately Chelsea required 10% of contribution to salary what my team of course didnt had :'( I am sure that he would have been TEN STAR player in FIVE STAR category in my league

ok and i let go 24 players in July.

Well it was quiet month and i signed only
Ben Farrell DC MC (Free from Cambridge) Decent

two players were released.

So Far perfect season start. I checked on Genie Scout, that my team rating is more than 54%. With this team what i have at the moment i would be able to fight in Blue Squere Premier for promotion places , but in fact im in lowest standard league.
