In this story I'll bring European minnows Estonians N?mme Kalju to the top of the Champions League
. It is long run goal, and in my opinion impossible, but ill give it a go. JK N?mme Kalju is an Estonian football club based in N?mme, Tallinn. The club was originally established in 1923 and then re-established in 1997

N?mme Sports Club Kalju was founded on 20 December 1922. A year later N?mme Kalju Football Club was founded, where local footballers played successfully for many years in Estonia's top division, the Meistriliiga.
In 1997 the team was re-established from Tallinna Jalgpallikool and ?htulehe Noorte Jalgpalliklubi youth players. The team played eight years in a row in Estonian Third League. They played twice in promotion/relegation play-offs and on the second occasion were successful in winning promotion to the Second League in 2004. Then they started a run of successive promotions. In 2005, N?mme Kalju won promotion to the Esiliiga by winning Second League. In 2006, the team was unsuccessful in the battle for promotion to the Meistriliiga, eventually finishing behind FC Kuressaare and JK Tallinna Kalev. In the middle of the 2007 season, N?mme Kalju hired Brazilian Fredo Getulio who has worked with the group of coaches who led the Brazilian U-17 national team to their age-group World Cup. N?mme Kalju also bought four Brazilian footballers. They finished 6th in the season 2007 and beat FC Kuressaare in the promotion/relegation play-offs, thus qualifying for the following year's Meistriliiga. In preparing for the next season in the Meistriliiga, the team needed reinforcement. N?mme Kalju bought 16 new players, three of them were expatriate footballers and four were ex-international players.
For the 2012 season, N?mme Kalju moved to the larger Kadrioru Stadium. Kadrioru holds over 10 times more spectatorsthen previous Hiiu Staadion, with a capacity of 5000. The main reason for moving was the poor condition of Hiiu Stadium, especially the condition of the artificial turf. Since the City of Tallinn lacked the funds to replace it, Kalju was forced to sign a deal with Kadrioru Stadium. From Wikipedia

So its up to me to continue these traditions and after securing that, trying to bring some glory in Europe as well. I gaved my application to N?mme Kalju Chairman Kuno Tehva. I wrote to him that ive been living my hole life in N?mme been a fan of Kalju for more than a decade and just finished my Trainer licence. Current manager Igor Prins turned down hes job, because of the personal problems and it is a great chance to became a manager of my favourite club :wub:

It is Estonain highest standard league, and only winner gets a chance to play in Champions League second qualifying round. There are 10 teams. Only the team who finished last is dropping and will be relegated to the first league. I changed little bit gaming schedules. So season will begin 10.08.2013 and will finish 12.04.2014. Its because every team plays with each other 3 times. I changed every Premium Liiga teams training facilities and youth system to maximum lvl 20. That was the only drastical change in the game. No new players no extra fonds no new stadiums no new staff members and so one. And now i forgat to add that there is still one major plus with Estonian Premium Liiga. There are absolutly no transfer regulations You can buy sell loan players whenever you want. You can sign whoever you want and there are no foreign players players rules!!! And furthermore to help National team
