  1. An update on the situation at my club. There is an agreement between the soon to be new owner of the club and Coley Parry, they made the appeal just in time before midnight to the license committee. I am skeptical. Quite a lot. I said about Twente a couple of years ago, that in my opinion, they should lose their license, for 'cheating' and messing with the club's finances. With that in mind, and Vitesse being my club, I just can't say, my club should be saved, because they have virtually done the same. I am even surprised that anyone wants to invest in the club. Meanwhile the interim directors and some other employees earn several tons of money, say they can't cut costs any more, and point fingers at everyone else but themselves. Gambling on one horse, a big poker bluff play, to take over the club and invest. In my opinion nothing has been learned from the past, waiting for just one investor to take over, instead of cutting costs more. The club SHOULD have collapsed, horrible thing to say about my club, but that is my opinion. The appeal is in about a week and then we will see what will happen. Some media report the club is saved, but there still are a lot of things to be done. No banker, no accountant, for example
  2. The new investor has pulled out. I think this will be the end of my club, unless a miracle happens Edit: the investor is again with talks with Parry. Time is running out since the appeal deadline is this midnight
  3. What about Georgia beating Portugal? Sorry my English friends, but England is awful against Slovakia Edit: you are so fucking lucky..
  4. The club has been missmanaged for years so I am not surprised. Vitesse has two weeks to get it all in order. I seriously doubt they will make this new deadline. After all the new owner also has to explain where the money is from. If this is rejected the only way is to take it to court. It is like a big fucking poker play with only one hand
  5. A short update. Yesterday the KNVB decided to revoke the professional license of Vitesse, which means Vitesse cannot play professional football anymore. It did not come as a surprise, the budget Vitesse came up with is 6M too short, no bank account (due to previous Russian influence) and no accountant. Vitesse will appeal this decision, and hopefully in two weeks with the investor they found will reverse the decision. The investor, a millionaire with a billion dollar company in Switzerland, and from the region, seems to have a deal with Parry to solve the 14M debt the club has with him. He will probably (according to media and sources around the club) get almost all of his money back, and is willing to solve the club's budget for next season.
  6. This news is just in... There is a Dutch investor willing to solve the debts with Parry and invest millions to save the club. I am watching this with mixed feelings. As a fan, I don't want this club to just disappear, but... There is so much mismanagement dating back 25 years, why would anyone invest in a club who is, so to say, dead? For me, the current directors still want an investor and invest millions with no profit in return, instead of building up again. Seems to me nothing is learned from the past. Dont get me wrong, I would rather spend years in the first division, and focus on slowly building the club back up, than this happening all over again in a few years time. In my opinion there is much to gain, the fanbase IS RIGHT THERE, but with all this shady business and mismanagement, I cannot blame fans for staying away. Get back to the basics. Cut in the finances, don't rely on an investor etcetera
  7. A little update regarding my club... The planned takeover of American investor Coley Parry and his Common Group has collapsed, the licensing committee, and the KNVB even gave Vitesse a fine for giving misleading information. At that point Vitesse was already (near) bottom Eredivisie, and later received an 18 point deduction, relegating them officially to the First Division. All in all... The club has accumulated a debt of 19M, with a little over 14M is owed to Parry's Common Group. In short, Vitesse is about to lose their professional license due to years and years of mismanagement. All previous directors have now left the club and now others are trying to save the club. Tomorrow we will hear if Vitesse will keep their pro license, it is most likely it will be invoked...
  8. England will never win, and what a goal by Denmark!
  9. Really? I did not really like it... Has anyone watched The Boys or/and Gen V at Prime? Those two superhero shows (Gen V is a spinoff) are so bloody (and) funny! Another decent show I found is Invincible, also on Prime. This is a weird one, it is also a superhero show, but sit through the first (pretty boring) episode and you want to see the rest very quickly! I recently watched The Recruit, decent police show with some humour, and all of the Chicago shows (Med, PD and Fire). All three are pretty good productions and I like Beghe in PD as a cop who sometimes bends the rules (a lot).
  10. Wicky often takes over Ajax in my games...
  11. Wow, nice! Where did you get that AI face @Derek?
  12. I know Prso from his time at Monaco, when he scored those 4 goals against Deportivo la Coruna. That was legendary
  13. Bound to happen in real life too
  14. Nice job! Too bad you lost that one!
  15. And missed this! 1 0 against Ajax wait till @VyKing sees this
  16. Wow, sugar daddy????
  17. All right, the next update. Last time I ended the season, but did not update this thread yet. I can't even remember correctly how the games went since it has been a while ago, but we did win the Eredivisie again, but were knocked out of the CL against Man City in the QF. We also managed to win the KNVB Beker once more against a tough AZ. Endrick finished the season with 57 league goals, and 78 goals in total. Schedule and results League table Great season overall, but obviously I became a little bored with it. Also, I can't seem to center my text as before.. Onto the transfers... Nothing much notable really... Only player I brought in is a Brazilian wonderkid Yan Cavalcanti for 20M, no notable transfers out as well, it has been fairly quiet. Profile As you can see I'm a little further now, half the season through, but I will update on that one later!
  18. Obviously we have played the game for, well, some of us, 20 odd years. I recently read some stuff about players (mostly newgens) getting cancer treatment in the game, getting your son through the youth academy, coming out as gay etcetera. I think my weirdest experience was this one, maybe I told it before, can't find it, but I tell again. In 2018 Holland did not qualify for the World Cup in real life, but in my FM18 game, they actually did qualify. With only few qualification games left, they went to Russia. In my game Van Wolfswinkel (my main striker at the time) had a very good campaign, and was selected. He was pretty much average, compare him to Weghorst or someone similar, maybe even not as good as Weghorst. He started games on the bench obviously a lot, but whenever he came on he most often scored. Holland went all the way in that game and won a World Cup when in real life they did not even qualify. With Wolfswinkel playing way above his average as their main striker since the Quarter Finals. Anyone else had remarkable things happen which could not possibly happen in real life?
  19. Totally okay. Like I said before, my club deserves to be last, I have accepted it. I am not afraid of relegation, I am afraid my club won't exist anymore anytime soon
  20. Hard and deep, my bitch, hard and deep... We are moderators on this site right? We should be a better example
  21. Vitesse is not a big club, and at the time of writing, Ajax was 18th. My club deserves it anyway, for various reasons. And. Asshole.
  22. Very nice start mate!
  23. Because we're bottom, and tactically Cocu was just godawful. The players brought in (mostly on loan or on a free) are sub-par quality as well. Matches are just boring to watch, we can't seem to score or create chances for that matter, and the defence is leaky as hell... In a nutshell. Good luck with Utrecht, they are also struggling in real life, but in FM they have a decent team, I believe!
  24. Little update, I am not playing every day, still need to get in the game. But updates will come for sure! Meanwhile, in real life, Vitesse took over last place of Ajax, and Cocu left the club as manager. The club is still waiting for approval of the KNVB of the takeover, 15 months now. So, okay, my opinion... Although Vitesse is my club, I genuinely believe they will relegate. Not only that, I think they deserve it. The club has been losing multi-millions over the past 20 years and maybe more. Any other club would have ceased to exist, but here we are, and Vitesse is still here. Though I wonder... For how long......
  25. Off course I did! We will probably not see that again, ever. Anyway, they won two matches in a row and are in 11th place now
