Thanks as always Bati, it is amazing how some players are let go and then become world class players

Cracking career @Cockers2505. You must be close now to completing an old challenge from here “The Impossible Challenge” where the goal was to start off in the Conference North/South, load 4 leagues and win every trophy possible in the game before the end of the 30 seasons including at international level.

This is the most up to date version I can find as I don’t think it’s been re-posted recently (I could re-post it if you complete it)

 

Thanks @samhardy I will look forward to getting myself on that if you are kind enough to re-enstate it, I'm now concentrating getting the other missed cups and leagues, example Championship and then the rest

Thanks Sam it gives me more of a passion to get everything done now

Update...

I now have an official title to complete my Challenge, it started as Win Everything on a Freebie, but now thanks to @samhardy I can officially achieve my name on a LeaderBoard for completing this, but I have a twist to this, I will still complete it without spending a Penny...

My career at Saint-Etienne is going along well, I am racking up the Trophies, and the following season was not a let down, as you will see...

Cups...

We started Season 5 with the Club World Championship Final Vs Real Madrid at the Stade de France...

Spoiler

A good start to the season against one of my old Clubs, got a scare at first when they took the lead after only 5 minutes, but the 3 goals that followed clinched the Cup for us...

Trophies that came with winning the Trophy...

Top Goal Scorer - Benjamin Eugenio and Alessandro Goldaniga take the top slots with 5 goals each.

Best Player - Benjamin Eugenio wins the title of Best Player for the tournament

Spoiler

Next came the Trophy Des Champions which we had won twice already, this time against Reims at the Stade de Japoma...

Spoiler

Not an easy one this going all the way to Penalties, which we eventually came out the winners by 4 Penalties to their 2...

French Cup Final Vs Amiens was a different kettle of fish, we simply brushed them aside to clinch this for a 3rd time...

Spoiler

We scored six goals to their one, an excellent day at the Stade Credit Agricole La Licorne...

Last trophy to aim for was the European Champions Cup Final Vs another old club, Juventus (Zebre) at the Stadion Munchen...

Spoiler

Another excellent game, eventually beating them with a score of 6-2 to win the coveted trophy for second time with Saint-Etienne...

Awards for the Season...

International Footballer of the Year 2037 goes to Alessandro Goldaniga with Eugenio takes second slot...

Spoiler

French Footballer of The Year goes to Johann Chesnel with Eddy Neveu taking second slot...

Spoiler

 

French Ligue 1 Conforama Foreign Player of The Year goes to Benjamin Eugenio followed by Lorenzini and Goldaniga taking 2nd and 3rd...

Spoiler

 

French Ligue 1 Conforama Best Player goes to Benjamin Eugenio with Warnock and Goldaniga taking 2nd and 3rd spots...

Spoiler

French Ligue 1 Conforama Most Promising Player goes to Eddy Neveu...

Spoiler

French Ligue 1 Conforama Stars Team of the Season sees us take 5 of the 11 places this year...

Spoiler

French Ligue 1 Conforama Top Goalscorer is taken by Eugenio for the second season in a row, but a drop from last season with only 31 goals, and his partner takes 2nd slot with 19 Goals...

Spoiler

French Ligue 1 Conforama XI of the Season has us dominate the League with 8 of the top 11 places going to Saint-Etienne...

Spoiler

Best Player in Europe goes to Johann Chesnel with Eugenio and Goldaniga taking 2nd and 3rd slot...

Spoiler

Last award to mention is the World Coach of the Year, this time I have to settle for 3rd place behind Lazio and Bayer 04 managers...

Spoiler

The League Title, so how was this season in regards to the League Table, well...

Again clear winners for another season, as you can see the demise of PSG in the year 2037/38 takes it toll with them not even in the top 5 places...

I unlocked another achievement during the season, the coveted Owe You One...

Spoiler

Fixtures for the Season...

Another clean sweep not loosing a single game throughout the Season...

Spoiler

Transfers...

In...

A few names that made this season, Lorenzini and Humphrys was big for me this season

Spoiler

 

Out...

Nothing as always to report, a few sold, and plenty of Loans to build up the youngsters ready for the future...

Spoiler

So from the List above, a few to mention that just shows you do NOT have to spend big to get the World Class Players...

Rodolfo Lorenzini was simply brilliant for me at 33 years old, how pace, Stamina and Strength for his age still made him an excellent player...

Spoiler

Ruben Monteiro was let go by Schalke, but when I got him his Value went through the roof, how? a £67M player just let go, I loaned him out to Chelsea to gain valuable experience as my front 2 was simply to good to drop...

Spoiler

Last player was Cody Humphrys who was a Freebie, which I had to snap up, so solid at the back helping me concede only 17 goals in the League, and I was shocked to see him NOT get selected for his Country more often!...

Spoiler

Season Stats...

Goals - The front 2 strikers take this again with 45 and 37 goals for the season...

Spoiler

Assists - The aged legs of Lorenzini help make up the most assists with 23, but as always a mix around the team help each other get the goals required to win the trophies and League...

Spoiler

Av. Rating - Another excellent season for ratings, Warnock smashing the 8.00 mark with the rest of the team showing their class...

Spoiler

Final Season Stats...

Managerial...

My profile shows me in 1st place again, with 'Players Bought' remaining on a solid £0

Another clean sweep season, not losing a single game throughout the Season...

Manager History to date...

Spoiler

Trophy Cabinet to date...

Thanks @BatiGoal I'm going to concentrate on the stuff I missed, like the Championship Title, VNL League, League 2 Spain etc etc then this will be a truly achievement with nothing spent, watch this space...

You’re a truly the best manager in Vibe. You’re going for a clean sweep for this year award

😬 (cough cough) don't be saying things like that on this Forum when you have so many other exceptional people who do remarkable feats all the time, I started this Challenge to see what could be won without spending a penny, then it got more serious as I went up the English Leagues, and then offers from bigger clubs, to eventually thinking, this could be possible to win EVERYTHING without spending a penny, then @samhardy popped up with an actual name to the Challenge, which I accepted the challenge, and put a spin on it, spend NOTHING whilst attempting it, simple

So I thank you for the kinds words, but please let me shout out, there are a lot of better managers than me in regards to achievements through this site, and at nearly 50 years old, I am simply a veteran that likes to enjoy sharing the truly best game on the Planet, and the best site to share it with.

Edited April 15, 2020 by Cockers2505

[Cockers2505]

New Update, and this is going to broken down into three parts as you will see...

So I sat and worked out what I need to complete this monumental Challenge, and this is what I can work out, @Ashez or @samhardy can you tell me if there is something on this list below that I don't have to worry about, or are they all needed to complete this challenge as it is a little different now in regards to Cup success as the original...

Outstanding
England		Championship
		Vanarama National League
		Vanarama National League South
		FA Trophy
		Club World Championship
Spain		Second division
		Club World Championship
Italy		Italian Series B
		Euro. Super Cup
France		Domino Ligue 2
		French National Ligue
International		World Cup

Update Part 1 - International with Spain...

Thought I would show a game where the Tactic is still working, even on the International Front...

Spain Vs Germany - World Cup Third Round...

Spoiler

Now the highlight of this Campaign...

World Cup 2038

Spain Vs Argentina in the World Cup Final 2038 - My first World Cup in this challenge with an emphatic win over Argentina 5-2 at the Antonio Vespucio Liberty...

Spoiler

World Rankings...

Spoiler

Awards from the World Cup campaign...

Spoiler

Update Part 2 - AS Saint-Etienne...

This is just a quick snippet on something I found funny, I hadn't received 'Managers Son' within my challenge, so I believe anyway, but this guy popped up...

Faysal Cockers - I got him from Chelsea through the Bosman ruling, so I guess he is either 'My Son' or the IA has used my nickname to create a player, thought it was funny that's all...

Now to the proper business...

Cups...

Trophy Des Champions Vs Reims at Stade de Geneve...

Spoiler

A good 2-0 win clinched the trophy again, but we had a scare int he first half losing 2 of our key players...

Euro. Super Cup Vs SLB at Eden...

Spoiler

Another clear win of the day, ending in a 4-1 win, 3 of the goals coming in the first half, and then a fourth in the second to finish them off...

Transfers...

In...

Again there is so many FREE talent is crazy how clubs let go so many brilliant players...

Spoiler

 

Out...

Soldati was the only worthy mention, with to many good strikers, it was inevitable he would want to leave as a part time player...

Spoiler

Fixtures...

Why only to the beginning of October, more to follow...

Spoiler

Final Table, I left them still riding high...

Spoiler

And with plenty of money to their disposal, as you an see not something to laugh at, £1 Billion in Transfer Funds...

Spoiler

So my final account with AS Saint-Ettiene, not bad the amount of trophies and 5 Ligue 1 Trophies, only losing 9 ligue 1 games in my time running the club...

So what now, new pastors for me, on looking at the table of what's left to do, the rest of my time is ticking off those missing achievements, so here goes...

Update Part 3...

Who should come Knocking on my door, Bournemouth of the Sky Bet Championship, this Trophy I haven't got...

Spoiler

They currently sit 14th in the League with 11 played, and out of them 5 losses...

Spoiler

Fixtures so Far, nothing to brag about, a good away win to Portsmouth is the only recognisable shout really...

Spoiler

Transfers into the club, they have spent £8 Million on players, but that doesn't interest me as there will be plenty of other Gems out there for absolutely FREE...

Spoiler

 

My First game was at Home against a good team in Birmingham, could I start my New Club on a win?

A 1-0 win is good enough for me, gets the crown behind me, and shows we can pull it out of the bag if needed...

Spoiler

So the season started, and ended with the following...

Awards...

Spoiler

The Best One, Manager of the Year Award was a surprise...

Spoiler

So how did I do them, Manager of the Year must mean a good season you say, well let me show you...

I literally pinched the Title from both Aston Villa and Newcastle right at the very end, a run of 6 games unbeaten allowed me to take it right from under their noses...

Fixtures - A total of 5 losses, 7 draws and 23 wins got me straight to the top of the League...

Spoiler

Transfers, so I brough tin a few players along the way to help with the campaign, as always they was sitting there wanting to be brought in as FREEBIE's...

Spoiler

Players worth mentioning for this Season, and always absolutely FREE...

Francesco Mozzo - A pace and skilful IF to help set up the goals for my 2 strikers, as well as getting in on the act themselves

Niccolo Manuelli - A solid AM to help with setting up the front 2 strikers

Daniele Lo Faso - Another fast, strong and skilful IF to help setting up the front 2 as well

Spoiler

Managerial Stats to Date...

A good start to my Bournemouth Career, getting them back in to the Premier League on the First shout...

Another ticked off the List...

England	Curzon Ashton	Vanarama National League North	1
	Carlisle	Sky Bet League 2	1

[samhardy]

In the original challenge you only needed to win the top division and domestic cup from the other 3 nations. But now you can load multiple divisions from the other nations the harder version is to win absolutely everything available. So I say go for them

[BatiGoal]

Sons popping up left and right. Well, gotta stay busy during the off-season eh?

So how many trophies left to wrap this up?

I have aimed at all the possibilities including lower league of all the countries, and I'm getting through the International ones as I continue, has anybody completed this before as a query?

HI @BatiGoal according to my list I have 12 to finish, but since my last update, I have completed a couple more which I aim to update very soon, another season with Bournemouth to follow, as I wanted to see how my Tactic would get on with bringing a Championship side into the Premier League, more to follow...

[Cockers2505]

So after letting myself down in the Vibe World Cup Challenge with @Jsavfc, I thought I would pick this back up...

Season 2 Bournemouth Update...

Clinched the Championship to add this to the DONE list, thought I would give the Premiership a shot with my newly promoted Bournemouth side, and see how my Tactic continues to surprise me...

Starting with Cups...

Carabao Cup

Got to the final in my second season, come up against one of my old clubs, Chelsea...

It just wasn't to be...

Just as a note* to all the Man Utd fans, the Semi Final was the highlight of the season for me, look at the aggregated score...

Spoiler

Yes that is 7-0 over the 2 legs 🤣

FA Cup

Again a very good Cup run in the FA Cup, but again I came up against Chelsea in this Final...

It simply wasn't to be AGAIN, this time losing on Penalties...

This left me with only the League, could I pull off a miracle and clinch the Premiership title in my first season back in the Top flight...

He only goes and does it, Championship Tile, and then the Premiership Title in my first season in the big time with Bournemouth....

Final Table...

What was amazing is how the structure looks in 2040, Bournemouth, Palace and Southampton top 3, with Blackburn 6th, who could of believed it...

Season Manager of the Month Awards...

Clinched 5 in my first Season...

Spoiler

 

But the best news was...

WORLD Coach of the YEAR 2039...

Another excellent accolade to my name in this tremendous Career...

Spoiler

Davide Bruscagin and Eddie Clancy take the top 2 spots...

This honour goes to our Striker, an excellent season for a player let go for FREE, as well as 3rd place Jonathan De Felice, who again was let go on a Free...

Spoiler

English Premier Division Manager of the Year

Back in the top flight and I clinch myself Manager of the Year 2039/2040 on my first shout...

Spoiler

Transfers

Got some really shrew players, all let go from hero parent clubs, which is a downfall for them, but a bonus for Bournemouth as some was the reason we was so good to eventually clinch the Title on our first season back in the big time...

Spoiler

Players

So from the list above, a couple fo players who stood out for the Season...

Rodrigo Semedo - GK let go by Torino, simply first class 

Kwame Fox - CD who was with no club, a shame as his stats said otherwise, brilliant for me with an Av. Rating of 7.31 over the season

Callum Pearce - Striker who was brilliant, let go by another of my old clubs, him and Bruscagin was a brilliant pairing for my first season

Davide Bruscagin - Striker, and the man of the moment, let go by Roma only to clinch the Players player of the year, and Footballer of the year, and I got him for FREE...

Spoiler

Final Stats

Goals

Both Bruscagin and Pearce do well with 28 and 27 for the season, not bad fro average players who were not wanted...

Spoiler

Av. Rating

An excellent season for Bournemouth, considering I made the team up of freebies, we showed that they can stand up against the big boys who are worth Millions £££...

Spoiler

Final Managerial Stats, a shame about losing both Cup finals, but the Premier title was icing on the cake...

Year 2040 and it still says £0 Players bought, yet another title under my belt to make it 15 and 42 cups...

So 2 seasons done, Championship and Premiership titles ticked off with Bournemouth, where next, which one do I tick off next...

Spoiler

Yeah, it’s been completed before but no-one has completed it with all the foreign lower league trophies as well.

Once you get it wrapped up I’ll change the challenge I think so the Spain, Italy etc lower league trophies are compulsory instead of optional and you’ll be the only one to have achieved that.

[Mr Tree]

Just checking, you've already won the Club World Championship right? Wouldn't think you'd need to win it with a team from each country, just getting it once would be enough for me, but it's not my challenge

Getting a team from the VNS and bagging the VNL and FA Trophy should be very doable, and then you're within touching distance...

Thanks samhardy, i never really set off to get the lower ones, but why not, I'm trying to get international ones as well as in Europe to add more options, so trying to get Brazil, Argentina etc

Another update, another Club to bring in success.

So I gave Bournemouth a second season, winning the Premier League on the first shout, so who tickles my fancy...

Malaga are a team in the Spanish Second division which I can promote, gaining me the Second Division trophy hopefully...

They finished the League in a poor state, nowhere near the top 10 and conceding to many goals...

Spoiler

End of season saw them ending in 11th with only a GD of 3...

The cup run was not that good during My first season , a win against Barcelona in the Fourth round was the only highlight...

The rest of the Season was ok though, I needed to get a League win to tick them off the list to help me with my Challenge...

The League was mine, a 10 Point gap was in place when I was highlighted that I had won the League, a good first Season...

Transfers

Out

Players

Some stand out players worth mentioning...

Thyler Stowe - Right IF let go so got on a FREE 

Antonio Vinagre - CM who was a star for me, another Free player let go by his previous club

Dujon Bennett - Another IF who was versatile to play either side for me, an Ex Man Utd player who obviously wasn't good enough for them

Jak Barmby - A GK who Chelsea didn't want, but for me was brilliant throughout the season for such a young age

Season Awards

3 Manager of the Month awards earned by myself...

A good season by my 2 main strikers, Hornero and Mbeumo scoring over 55 goals together...

Thanks @BatiGoal was a surprise to myself that I could easily change their fortunes in 1 Season, again the amount of FREE players out there is astonishing, some of these simply let go by their previous clubs, which highlights the flaws in this game as some turn out to be absolute Stars for me...

[Ian]

Brilliant career this, to think you started back in early December and are still going strong and enjoying it now is fantastic. That’s what it’s all about for me.

[samhardy]

Well done Cockers, not long to go now. You don’t need to win the Vanarama South as it’s the same level as the North which you’ve already won, so that’s one less to worry about.

[Cockers2505]

Another Update to this Long Challenge...

So another Club, and other Trophy ticked off the list, not many to go to finish this epic Challenge...

Malaga done, so Spanish Second division over, what next?

French Domino's Ligue 2 was still outstanding, and here is a club who needs a world class manager to get them out of the current mess, and who is it...

BREST of the Domino's Ligue 2

So I took the job, and another Season, another Team, can I bring success to this club as all others...

Where are they currently on finishing their last campaign...

They finished off the 2040/2041 season in 7th with quite a poor stats, scoring only 60 goals but conceding 55, and losing 14 games throughout the season, can I change those fortunes around...

Spoiler

Cup Competitions 

Only one cup to go for, the French Cup , but that was halted in the Tenth round Vs Marseille...

Spoiler

This leaves only one other thing to achieve, League success, but how did I do in this part of the Challenge...

Another one ticked off, absolutely smashed it, clearly taking the League by storm by being a full 18 points clear when the news came in that I had won the League...

Final standings at the end of the Season...

A full 20 points clear than second place Nimes, and only losing 2 games all season, and the best defensive GD in the League...

Great stuff Cockers, can't wait to see that trophy cabinet with all the unique 🏆 must be a looong list. 

Can't stop now, so I think you'll only be the 3rd on Vibe to complete the full 30 seasons this year.

Nice system you’ve got going there with everyone in the team doing a fine job. I’m going to guess that you may be heading to Italy next?

Thanks @BatiGoal I'm a few seasons ahead, but getting them posted is getting to be a challenge in itself due to Work and family. 

I will continue to the 30th year as I've never reached it before, so I will be glad to tick this off once and for all.

Hi @Ian thanks mate, the Tactic has not changed, regardless of team, division or players, yet I seem to still have good results. And I'm off to France again, this time to conquer the National League

[Cockers2505]

This will be a quick Update, as I am staying in France to finish off this leg of the challenge by taking over a Team in the National League (never played in EVER).

Who is the Team for the Next season...

US Marseille Endoume of the French National League...

Transfers - ZERO

Spoiler

Players already at the Club...

Spoiler

Cups...

Didn't win the French Cup, but I got myself through to the Semi Final, the path was not easy with a few shock results to mention...

Spoiler

But the main event, the French National League...

Another ticked off the list, whoopee, didn't;t expect to get this one as easy to be truthful...

Final Table...

A good Season had by all, winning it by 17 points ahead of second place, again a full squad of Freebies gets me another League win on the first attempt...

Awards for the Season...

Only one to mention, but a worthy one, The French National Top Goalscorer

Both my strikers get 18 goals apiece to take 2nd and 3rd in the Top Goalscorer awards...

Transfers

There was a lot I must admit, all FREE, but I wanted a big team as they was dropping like flies at one stage, so the side needed to be a good amount of back-ups to last the season...

Spoiler

Players out of the Mammoth transfers was my 2 strikers up front...

Tom McKenna - Striker who for me could fit into many other teams with those attributes...

Denzil Martin - another Striker who had the attributes to fit into most teams outside of the Big teams...

Player Statistics...

Av. Ratings

A few others contribute to the outstanding season we had other than the 2 main strikers, a good strong Midfield and Defence help win this Leg of the Challenge for me...

Spoiler

Goals

Doesn't sound much, but in this League, and using FREE players, 22 goals for 2 players is a good result for me...

Spoiler

So this is it, a quick update, hopefully followed bu another update very soon. In my reckoning, I have 4 official Trophies to get, and if I have time, I will try and get the others won in Each country as a bonus, even though I have won them already in different countries.

Outstanding
