Doing the impossible - The rise of the Cook Islands and Nikao Sokkatak

[Mr Attack]

Nikao Sokkatak

After going back and looking at old saves from FM09 & 10 and seeing rrrrrrrrrr's Netherland Antilles story and boozemonsters Cook Islands story I decided I wanted to try and make something of the Cook Islands, starting with winning the national league, followed by the O-League and eventually trying international management!

This is a tremendously difficult challenge, especially as it's my first story so any comments and support would be very much appreciated!

(Can't add screenshots as I'm a new member)

There will be screenshots asap, I promise, it just won't let me since I have below a certain number of posts, that's what I think anyway.​

A home win against Takuvaine where they had 26 shots and we had 3, we won 1-0 with this being the goal!

I've finally gotten screenshots to work, yay! I've employed a defensive tactic that appears to be working a treat that as of yet hasn't conceded a goal!

October 2013

The month the injuries build up, as you can see, we're out of the Cup as we lost 3 men before the half time whistle! On the plus side we continue our unbeaten run to the halfway point in the league.

November 2013

A strong month saw us guarantee a play off spot although we didn't have much difficulty.

End of Season 2013

John Paul Tua Teatai single-handedly wins the league for us and now the new season doesn't start until August which is 8 months away!

August 2014

A very good start to the season, I've changed from a defensive 5-2-2-1 to a 4-1-1-3-1 and it seems to be paying off so far as I look to get something out of my attacking midfielders.

September 2014

We've qualified for the O-League! The Group stage isn't until next April though and luckily we've managed to avoid the 2 New Zealand teams as well.
