AFC Sunderland - Road Back To The Top!

Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar, or as i will be referring to them as, FH, are a team based in Iceland and are considered to be one of the best in the country. They are probably best known outside of Iceland for beating Scottish side Dunfermline in the qualifying rounds of the 2004/05 UEFA Cup 4–3 on aggregate. I have chosen them as they are practically unknown in the world of football and it will be a challenge to take them to the champions league knockout round and to get the chance to manage a big club in Europe.


I have chosen to be former England and Liverpool forward Robbie Fowler. He played 266 times in the league for Liverpool in two separate spells at the club and also picked up 26 caps for England.

Good luck mate, glad you chose the team i told you to manage!

Will be following every update.

Looks interesting, can't wait for the first update!

good luck matey

I'm hoping this will last because I want to see how this team I've never heard of does. Good luck

Thanks guys, obviously transfers is not going to be easy for getting good players but yeah, step by step will appreciate more comments in future.

Good luck

Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar fans will today be really wondering just what is going on at their club as manager Heimir Gujonsson quit the club in the early hours of the morning. Guojonsson had been at the club since 2008 and in that time had led the club to 2 league titles, where they came in 2008 and 2009. They were league runners up for 2010 and 2011, and he also won 1 Icelandic Cup, 3 Icelandic Champions Cups and 1 Icelandic Upper League Cup. Everyone has been left baffled as to why he could have quit but will now be focusing on the speculation as to who could become their new manager.

Rumors as to why he has quit are fueling on the internet and round local newspapers, and the one that has appeared most is that he punched two of his first team players and also swung at the clubs chairman during a heated argument. No one knows the reason why Guojonnson was sacked, and with the club refusing to reveal details it is going to be a mystery for the time being. Former Portsmouth player Hermann Hreidarsson has been linked with the job, as well as former manager Olafur Johannesson and former Liverpool Legend Robbie Fowler has expressed an interest in the post.

Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar have appointed former Liverpool and England forward Robbie Fowler as their new manager and is seen as one of the biggest shocks in football. This will be Fowler's first full management job having previously had a player-manager spell at Thai side Muanthong United in the 11-12 season. Fans are said to be ecstatic to have a football legend in charge of their club as they look to claim their first league title since 2009. Some people in the media are questioning the appointment of Fowler as he has no proper managerial experience. He has been appointed on a deal until the end of the season at the Kaplakriki stadium and is said to be earning £700 a week.

Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar, commonly referred to as FH, is an Icelandic sports club based in Hafnarfjörður. The team is perhaps best known outside Iceland for beating Scottish side Dunfermline in the qualifying rounds of the 2004/05 UEFA Cup 4–3 on aggregate. With the second leg in injury time and the aggregate score at 3–3, Dunfermline were set to go through on away goals. However, Tommy Neilsen scored in injury time to send the Icelandic part-timers into the first round.

The 2007 season saw FH finishing second in the premier division behind main rivals Valur, after losing to them in one of the final games of the season. FH won the Visa-bikar with a 2–1 victory over Fjölnir in the cup final which secured them a place in the UEFA Cup qualification round.
In October 2007, Ólafur Jóhannesson resigned as FH manager to take over the Icelandic national side. In his five years in control of FH, the team won the Premier division three times, were placed second twice, won the league cup three times and the cup once. Heimir Guðjónsson, former assistant-manager and former FH captain, was hired as his replacement.

On 1 August 2008 the club was drawn against F.A. Premier League team Aston Villa in the Second Qualifying Round of the UEFA Cup. They were beaten 4–1 in the home leg on 14 August, and drew 1–1 in the away tie at Villa Park on 28 August, losing 5–2 on aggregate.

On 27 September 2008 FH won the Icelandic Premier division for the fourth time in 5 years. In one of the most exciting last days of the competition ever, their main rivals Keflavík were odds-on favorites to win the title with a 2 point lead over FH going into the last round. FH had a game against Fylkir while Keflavík played hosts to Fram, who themselves had to win to secure third place and the last spot in the UEFA Cup next season.

FH had to win their game by two goals to benefit from a draw in Keflavík. In the event FH beat Fylkir 2–0 for FH with goals from Matthías Vilhjálmsson and Guðmundur Sævarsson, while Keflavík, after being a goal up lost 2–1 to Fram. Captain Davíð Þór Viðarsson lifted the cup to the dismay of the Keflavík fans.
They took part in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League.

2012-13 Season Targets

This season, the board expect us to win the league title in the Icelandic Premier Division. We are also expected to win the Icelandic Cup and the Icelandic Champions Cup. To do this, i have been given a transfer budget of £60k and a wage budget of £150 but they will be adjusted.

These are the tactics i will be using during my season at FH and will change them if i find they are failing.


A simple 4-4-2 and hopefully it can be the most effective formation.


4-4-1-1 will be one of our back-up tactics and is created to be an attacking tactic.


A style of 3-5-2 which will be used to counter-attack teams.

When I saw the title, I could only see the name of the club. I was like "DAFUQ?" Anyways, good luck
