Default How hard can it be?

FC Spartak-MZhK Ryazan (Russian: ФК «Спартак-МЖК» Рязань) is a Russian football club. Currently the club plays in the Russian First Division.

Your challenge is to keep these minnows in the Russian First Division at all costs. Remember, there are 5 relegation places in this league so finishing at least 17th (I think) is your aim here. Save these semi-pro nobodies (if you can!)

Btw, their real record from last season's first division read:

P: 42 W: 1 D: 4 L: 37 F: 21 A: 122 Pts: 7

They finished by a country mile, bottom of the table.

Good luck, you'll need it!

Your aim is to eventually bring them to dominate the Russian league's. there is not timetable on this challenge as it is very difficult! i will be trying this myself,

fancy making it harder?

why not test your managerial ability by signing just 1 player a season? and they have to be homegrown :P

Default So far so good:

As well as offloading Kopilov for £1k I've moved in to secure some quality signings and strengthen the squad. Here is a few of my better buys:

experienced forward Vitaly Yermilov on a free:



Pacey striker Marat Dzakhmishev (this boy is going to be my main goal threat):



breaking the wage budget on this guy but I think you'll all agree he is amazing for standard of club:


best keeper I could find was Osipchuk so I'm hoping he is solid between the sticks:
