Who Are Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar?


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 Athletic 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 team is the current Icelandic champion for the third year in a row after winning the division with 36 points out of 54. Tryggvi Guðmundsson became the team top-scorer with eight goals this season. In summer 2006 three of the club's players played for the national team: Daði Lárusson, Sigurvin Ólafsson and Ármann Smári Björnsson.

Who Am I?

Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen previously played for Premier League club Chelsea and FC Barcelona of Spain, having made his name with Bolton Wanderers. He was the captain of the Iceland national team until manager Ólafur Jóhannesson took over the team. Throughout his professional career, Guðjohnsen has scored 167 goals in all competitions with his clubs and the national team. He is the son of Arnór Guðjohnsen, a former professional footballer. He is often considered to be one of the greatest Icelandic footballers, having won titles in the Netherlands, Spain, and England as well as the Champions League.
I hope you didn't type the title out from memory, haha.

Of course you couldn't, you can't even spell write correctly. Also, they are more commonly known as FH, but you probably can't spell that either... :))
Good luck JK. It was challenging for me when i did a story with them, so should be fun.

Eiður Guðjohnsen Retires From Football


http://d1ycoj3svxwn1i.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/news_wide_image/public/field/story/afbeelding/gudjohnsson.jpg

Today, 34 year old Eiður Guðjohnsen announced he will be retiring from football and as asked Club Brugge to terminate his contract as he feels he just cannot continue anymore. He feels like his playing days are over and he's seriously considering going into management but with no experience he knows he'll have to start literally from the bottom and sources say he's already found a club back in home country Iceland.

Eiður Guðjohnsen has had a impressive career, In total he's made 565 appearance and he's scored 145 goals for club and country. He spent most of his career in England at Chelsea where he made 186 appearances and scored 54 goals, he then moved to Barcelona and since leaving Barcelona he never really settled in at another club again.

Eiður Guðjohnsen has told sources that he's only trying management once and he doesn't want to leave his home country Iceland so he can be closer to his family after being in a different country it's been quite hard to spend time with the close friends and family so which ever club will have me I'll be there as long as i can.

Heimir Guðjónsson Sacked From Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar


http://www.mbl.is/tncache/frimg/360/6/11/611109.jpg

Chairman Jón Rúnar Halldórsson today announced Heimir Guðjónsson has been sacked due to a bust up between manager and board leaving the Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar job open. Heimir Guðjónsson has spent the last 5 years at FH winning the title twice and finished 2nd three times.

FH fans are disappointed with losing Guðjónsson as they thought he bonded the team quite well together and always did he best for the club and probably thinks he's the best manager in Iceland. They are confident they can get someone with a replacement with good reputation and hearing the news that Eiður Guðjohnsen has retired and looking to return to Iceland to manage a club as got the fans very excited and would love to see him become the manager of FH despite having no knowledge of being a manager but they're willing to give him the chance.

Chairman Jón Rúnar Halldórsson refused to comment.

Eiður Guðjohnsen Announced Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar Manager




Eiður Guðjohnsen was today announced the new manager of Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar just 1 day after former manager Heimir Guðjónsson was sacked and many believe chairman Jón Rúnar Halldórsson has done it to give FH a little bit of rep by signing a former Icelandic legend as he's played for many big clubs in his time so maybe fans of Eiður Guðjohnsen will be checking FH results in the future to see how he's doing and will hopefully boost the crowd.

Eiður Guðjohnsen as told the media he plans to be involved in the club massively in every aspect and wants to build a reputation for the club and hopefully one day win the Champions League final which for a team that's never made the group stages that a very big ask of Eiður Guðjohnsen.

Chairman Jón Rúnar Halldórsson told media "I'm very glad to acquire Eiður Guðjohnsen as the manager and i know some people think I'm harsh in sacking Heimir Guðjónsson but people don't understand about the on goings behind the club and he was just wanting more from the club than it's worth and it got to a point where we wasn't even talking and the chemistry wasn't there. I've met Guðjohnsen a few times in the past and i believe we're both on the same wave length in terms of what we want for the club and hopefully we, as a club can achieve this one day"

YAY! EIDUR! Sorry, Eiður! :P

A Inside Look At Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar


So once i start a new adventure i always like to have a look at some of there facilities and information about the club to see what i need to improve on, I think my only way to even get close to the Champions League and some money under my belt is to stick at constantly winning the Icelandic Premier Division and they keep improving my facilities as much as possible and train the prospects up as much as possible and then sell on. It's the only logical way i can think of at the minute and it's going to be tough I'll be getting hammered in the ECC for many, many years until one player will come along and will probably change everything, until then I'll need all the luck in the world.

http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b513/MrJK1/FH/1_zpsce7deadc.png

So this is the current squad and my midfielders and strikers to be honest aren't that bad for this league it seems and the main place I'll be concentrating on this season will be the defence. The squad already looks like it fits my tactic perfectly with them having players in the AML and AMR positions and the two best players by the look of it are my AML and MC. I also have a English player in the team someone called Sam Tillen who's a left back and according to his history he played for Chelsea and Brentford.

http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b513/MrJK1/FH/1_zpse4469141.png

Here is my wage budget and transfer budget for this season, I wouldn't say it's going all out from the chairman, the bank balance is also £297k. I'm actually wondering if i should ask for some more money i shall try and and give you the verdict later on, also if i do I'll probably use it for wages and switch any money i get into the wages as there are thousands and thousands of good players that would come to FH on a free transfers rather than spending money and It's important to save up every penny i possibly can.

Here is the famous staff team of Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar. I don't really plan to change it just yet as there pretty good so I'll probably increase there contracts for a few more year just to keep them at the club, I don't usually get involved that much with staff until i know my rep or moneys improved so they have 3 years to impress me and until then no more staff will probably be hired, I will add a few more before the start of the season and this will be my staff team for years to come.

http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b513/MrJK1/FH/3_zps3ce3bf16.png

So here is the information page and my main concern and aim for the club is to get them to professional which should be any managers first job, forget the facilities the operating status is more important than anything else and obviously I think I'm at at 6,000 ground so improving the season ticket holders is also a massive aim for me to bring in some more money, if i do this all correctly then I'll never lose a game in the league.

http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b513/MrJK1/FH/4_zpsfd26c1c0.png

And finally here is some information about the ground! It's a very good ground by the looks of it and i think the biggest in the league so I'm always on top already in the league for revenue and i have good training facilities which is always a good think I will one day hopefully improve the youth system and get some youth players in to sell.
