My Goals!

Here are my goals for the team:

1. Year 1 - Establish a youth squad. Nitra has very little – CHECK Year One!
2. Stay up this year – CHECK Year One!
3. Get a mid-table finish comfortably – CHECK Year One!
4. Year 2 - Next year get to the top half of the league and begin to play for EURO play in the playoffs – CHECK ONE YEAR EARLY!
5. Turn Nitra into a power that can rival the major team in this league – Slovan Bratislava, CHECK Year Two!!
6. Win a Slovak Pohar – CHECK Year One! CHECK Again Year Four!
7. Win the Fortuna – CHECK Year Three! CHECK Again Year Four!
8. Qualify for Champions play. CHECK Year Three! CHECK Again Year Four!
9. Turn Nitra into an Eastern European heavyweight on the level of a Sparta Prague or CSKA Moscow. CHECK Year Four.
10. Secure Nitra well enough that it’ll survive after the manager leaves. CHECK Year Four.

We are a powerhouse. We’ve won it twice in a row, and won the double this year. For Champions play we were one of only three Eastern European teams to make the Group Stage. We have taken out many nearby threats in Eastern Europe like Red Star, Rapid Wien, and BATE. We have defeated teams from places like Portugal, Sweden and Denmark in our Euro campaigns. We tied Valencia and Benfica and were never blown out in the group this year. We have narrow losses like 3-2 away at Dinamo Kiev and scored 3 on the road against Liverpool. We are a powerhouse…

Financially we are secure. We made tons of Champion cash this year. We also made millions in sales. The board isn’t forcing sales anymore for higher prices.

The team should be safe enough to leave and it’s in a good spot. It has amazing youth, and senior squad that won the division twice. I didn’t want to be all about me and then leave.

That leaves me three options…

1. Retire. I took Nitra and Slovakia as far as I can. Good dynasty!
2. Continue. I earned an easy campaign, right? Right! Let’s dominate Slovakia and see if we can’t get out of the Group Stage!
3. Go Somewhere Else. See what’s left and head there! Rebuild the dream somewhere else!

In my Romania dynasty I did the somewhere else and rebooted at Huddersfield in the EPL post-Brexit. In one year we did really really well with it!

I’m leaning towards #3.
