Winter Break and March Sees Resume

March has been another successful month for Barton’s men remaining unbeaten over the 3 games this month winning 2 and drawing 1. March has also seen an intake of fresh blood, with most of the staff getting excited about new youth recruit Tadej Koren.


The winter break saw Barton offload 7 bringing in £7.5k and freeing up £320 a week in wages. The break coupled with poor attendances in March however have played havoc with finances at club and have dropped from £64k balance to a worrying £-46k, Leaving the players wondering when and if there pay will stop.
Cup Semi Final Leg 1

Bartons Men VS Triglav who are currently 8th in the 1st division.



End Of The Season Closes In

March was a big month Manager Craig Barton, He started the month looking at 5 games ahead of him for the month, 1 of which was against 2nd place and 2 legs of the cup semi final. With the team sitting 3 points clear at the top of the league Barton approached the board and requested a new contract. The board quickly rebuffed the idea and refused to listen to any argument that it was for the best. Leaving Barton unsure about his future he thought of resignation but decided to pull up his socks and see out the season.

The month was a mixed bag really winning 3 of 5 and drawing and losing 1.The first important game was against Aluminij currently sat 2nd and Barton’s biggest rivals for promotion. The game started slow but then Barton’s men rolled over and succumbed to a 2-0 defeat leaving Barton wondering if the contract news had got to the players. Barton then had the 1st leg of the semi final which his men stepped up for and won 1-0 but still leaving them a difficult away game. When the day came Barton’s men were massive underdogs and all that seemed possible was to see Barton’s men crashing out.



With Barton’s men progressing to the final all that remains to be asked is can they win it?
Koren looks like a beast for your club's stature. Hold onto him until some big club comes calling.

Woah! I just noticed you don't use substitues! Why is that?
It was just them games Akash cause things were going so well i didnt want to upset the teams rythem
Doing well mate, keep it up.
Nice job. All the best for the cup!
League Season Closes

With only 3 league games Barton has every right to be disappointed with his team, after a long hard slog to get themselves to the top of the league they slip up in the last month. Registering 1 win 1 draw and a defeat saw Barton’s men Slip to 2nd and Face the dreaded playoffs.

The Day Arrives

The day has arrived two clubs will walk onto to the field to battle it out for the prize money of £179 and more importantly a Euro cup place. The fans are out in there thousands showing there colours hoping and praying that there team can come home the victor. Financially a cup win would really help Bela Krajina as they have now slipped into £70k of debt.

As the Game approached the tension could be cut with a knife, who will see Euro football next season?
