Default The French Giants will Rule again@ St.Etienne

The challenge set by Seth7724

Once upon a time, when Liverpool ruled England and Europe, there were some roaming beasts called St.Ettiene, here is some history...

* Ligue 1:
o Winners (10): 1957, 1964, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1981

* French Cup:
o Winners (6): 1962, 1968, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1977

As you may see above, they won 4 championship's in a row!

They also reached a European Cup Final and lost vs Bayern Munich, and lost in a semi final to Liverpool.

In 1982, a financial scandal lead to the decline in the club's performance. The president, Roger Rocher, was forced to leave the club , and spent several months in jail. Since then, the club has spent much of its time in the bottom half of the First Division and the Second Division

A sad state of affairs at a club that was once so big.



What you must do is take this average team, and make them great again.

You have no time limit!



Well here is my game so far, going alot better then the others who have started this so far, the challenge creator and auldashy have both quit lol.

Fixtures

Squad



So far so good, only good teams i've really faced though are psg, lille and tolouse so it wont last for long lol.


Cheers Liveru

Well it's the end of the 1st season, I won last game of the season where as 3rd and 4th lost so i came 3rd on goal diff after we all have 62 points. Ilhan has been the biggest star this season being the most consistent scorer bagging 23 league goals and my keeper Jeremie Janot has been a rock at the back.


Manager Overview


Squad



Season Transfers


The Table


Well thats the 1st season next ill be hopping for another top 5 season and Europe again. Hopefully with Europei wont lose so much each month and make a bit of a profit to fund soem more buys. What i want to buy is my 2 loan players Peter and Ekotto along with maybe in Jan if Gigliotti doesn't score consistently a new striker
