[LLM] SC Loppersum

Hey guys, this will be my last story of a career in FM2012. Why? Because when I'm done with this story FM2013 will be in stores.

I'm Starting in the Dutch 6th divison with a small town club named SC Loppersum (It's actually less than 10 miles to where I grew up). The short distance to my childhood livingplace, and the amazingly great trainingsite and youthscouting for this level brought me to this.

I'm gonna start as an amateur manager. I have no budget to work with so I need to gather a lot of amateurplayers (which isn't that hard, due my good trainingssite).

When i came there, i immidiately replace the complete staff. All 4 members were fired, and Some good staff were brought in. Also I "buyed" (just took away from other clubs) around 60 players, so I could play lot's of friendly's to gather some money.

The Money i gather from friendly's is hard needed, due a huge debt when starting: 468.000 euro, and that for an amateur team. So every euro I can get from friendly's is helping

In meanwhile I play of course the regular league Matches, and the amateurbeker (The Cup for amateurteams) so I play a lot of matches, normally every 2/3 days 1 match, sometimes 4 matches in 5 days. I always look forward towards the International Matches, because than the Bigegr teams (Dutch 1st League) will be available

The results so far:

6th League: 2-1 Omelandia win
6th League: 5-0 Olympia'26 win
6th League: 8-1 De Knickerbockers win
6th League: 2-0 De Weide win
2nd Round AmateurCup: 7-0 GONA win
6th League: 3-0 SV Rouveen win
6th League: 3-1 Lycurgus win

Noticable Friendly results:
SC Veendam (2nd League) 2-1 win
Almere City FC (2nd League) 2-1 win
FC Utrecht (1st League) 3-0 win
Helmond Sport (2nd League) 4-0 win

I was going towards a nice solid profit in December, but forgot the youth-academic, which cost me an asswhooping 82K this month (probably because it's new year)

So I lost 990 this month, but Am still going strong in the competition. 11 to play and 13 in front. hope we get this month some money.

Out of the cup too, but I was already exceeding my own expectation by 2 rounds So not sad about it, just time to arranged 15 more friendlies

1. My chairman is looking to step aside
2. But he made the club a semi-professional club
3. Which helped me to keep this beauty inside the walls: Youthpull

So, I can be happy

Maybe try to add some screenshots to your story. Anyway well done on your promotion and getting out of debt.
