When's the update

 

[liam1872]

Sorry for the severe lack of updates for a long time. There are many reasons for that however some personal, I hope to bring the updates back in the near future should there still be an interest in this career.

Again I apologise for the long wait with no word of warning, some things you can't predict.

See you all soon

The Unemployed Challenge V2.0

Update #8

Transfers

IN

Spoiler

We went a bit unnecessarily mad with the money that we spent, however hopefully it would be enough to get the job done. Brazilian duo Marcos Ribeiro & Bruno da Silva arrived from Santos for a combined fee of £41M before being followed through the doors by Borja Alcacer who came in for £10M from Once Caldas (I'm still not entirely sure who they are?). Antonio Tello arrived from Liverpool for £14.25M, Amadou Kone came in form Serie A rivals Inter Milan for £20M and Pavlo Savchuk & Alberto Navarro came in from Dnipro & Estudiantes respectively for a combined £11M.

NEW ARRIVALS

1. Marcos Ribeiro - DC, £30M

Spoiler

2. Amadou Koné - MC, £20M

Spoiler

3. Antonio Tello - AM RC, £14.25M

Spoiler

4. Bruno da Silva - DC, £11M

Spoiler

5. Borja Alcácer - AM R, £10M

Spoiler

6. Pavlo Savchuk - D/DM LC, £6M

Spoiler

7. Alberto Navarro - F LC, £5M

Spoiler

OUT

Spoiler

We managed to recoup most of our outgoing transfer fees through the sales of 3 players; Diego da Silva, Simone Baldi & Alex Llorente who left for a total of £71M. Three players also departed on season long loan deals to various destinations.

Season Review

Summary

Spoiler

A successful season overall in which we secured Serie A glory as well as a narrow Italian Cup win to top it all off. It wasn't as hoped in the Champions League however we still achieved the two trophies we needed in order to cross off Lazio. Lautaro Rinaldo finished the season as our top scorer with 34 goals and Antonio Silvestri ended up our best creator with 24 assists.

Full League Table

Spoiler

The two sides from Milan were our main competition for most of the season before AC Milan dropped away and left it a two horse race between ourselves and Inter Milan. We came out on top in the end with a 3 point lead over 2nd place securing us the Serie A title with a defensive record that anyone would be proud of.

Italian Cup

Final

Spoiler

A tighter result than expected in an encounter which saw us dominate in terms of shots despite being behind in the overall possession stat. We did run out eventual winners however after we netted all four of our penalties to secure a 4-2 win on penalties. 

Champions League

Spoiler

A first round tie against Atlético Madrid would be the end of our exploits as a 3-0 defeat in the first leg proved too much to recover from despot a 3-2 win in the second leg.

As always, thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon.

The Unemployed Challenge V2.0

Update #9

For the new season a new challenge awaited us and we waited a while for a suitable job opportunity to arise, and when it did it was a big one and it was a return to England with Manchester City.

Spoiler

Transfers

IN

Spoiler

My late arrival meant the summer window had already passed and so January was my only chance to strengthen. I did so with the signing of one player, David Carlsson, from PSG for a massive £91,000,000. The other 3 players had been brought in under the previous management team.

NEW ARRIVAL

1. David Carlsson - ST C, £91M

Spoiler

Season Review

Summary

Spoiler

Despite being lower down in the league upon my arrival, City weren't many points off the top of the table and after some tweaking with the tactics we found the right formula to rise to the top of the table and won the Premier League to make it 1 out of 2 trophies at City. We came close to making it 2 out of 2 on 3 separate occasions as we made it to the semi finals of the FA Cup, Capital One Cup and the Champions League before being knocked out. Memphis Depay finished as our top scorer and Thomas Lemar racked up the most assists.

Full League Table

Spoiler

A final day slip up from Manchester United saw us leapfrog them in the table into 1st place to secure the title win. A solid defensive record coupled with some hard work meant we were able to win 24 of our 38 games on our way to the title.

FA Cup

Spoiler

A solid run led us to a Manchester derby in the semi final of the FA Cup in which would come out losers after being dominated for the entire game. A 2-1 scorelines flattered us as we exited the FA Cup.

Capital One Cup

Spoiler

Despite dominating the second leg of this tie we were knocked out by a determined Newcastle side 2-1 on aggregate. A 1-0 defeat at St James Park followed by a 1-1 draw at the Etihad would see us again exit a cup competition in the semi finals.

Champions League

Spoiler

Our third semi final and our third semi final defeat as we faced tough opposition in Barcelona. A 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp put is in a good position before we were again drawing 1-1 after 90 minutes in the second leg taking the tie to extra time. Barcelona struck first in extra time and despite pulling one back, we couldn't get another and exited the Champions League on away goals.

We would have to wait until next season for another chance at crossing Manchester City off the list, let's hope for some better luck.

As always, thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon.

The Unemployed Challenge V2.0

Update #10

Transfers

There were no transfers made in or out at Manchester City this season despite having plenty money to spend.

Community Shield

The Community Shield saw us face Manchester rivals ,and former club, Manchester United in a goal fest at Wembley stadium. The game took a while to get going but once it did, it didn't stop. We took the lead through Memphis Depay, scoring against his former club, after 40 minutes to go in at half time 1-0 to the hood. Thomas Lemar added a second shortly after the restart before Ousmane Djéjdjé made it 3-0. United pulled one back through Assane Gnoukouri 3 minutes before Djédjé bagged his second and our 4th to make it 4-1 with 10 minutes to go. Anthony Martial and Javier Martinez pulled goals back for united before Djédjé struck again to seal his hat trick and our victory with 5-3 being the final score line.

This win in the Community Shield gave us our second trophy win meaning we could cross of Manchester City from the checklist and start thinking about moving on..

New Club

It didn't take us long to find a new club who was on the checklist as the manager of this Italian giant set his sights on a career in international management. A return to Italy it was as we took over at Roma..

We took over in Rome 6 games into the Serie A season in which Roma had not yet lost a game but were currently sitting 5th in the table with 3 wins and 3 draws from the 6 games.

With all competitions still available to us, we have a great opportunity to seal 2 trophies here this season, and move on at the end. Let's hope this is the case..

As always thank you all for reading and I will see you all soon.

Also, could you guys let me know what you think of the way I lay out my updates and if there is any ways I could improve it. Thanks

Amazing mate. Roma and Italy are gonna have their set of challenges, but I don't think it'll be a problem for you 

Cheers! Lets hope its no problem

[liam1872]

Unfortunately, it is looking unlikely that I will update this career for a while since I am struggling to find any sort of motivation to play the game for an extended period of time

If I can get back into this save I will and I will put out updates however right now, I can't play the game for very long without getting bored or extremely frustrated

As always thank you for reading, and I will see you all next time whether that be in this thread or another.

[Ashez]

It's a shame but we've all been there, hopefully you return soon as I enjoy your careers
