Reluctantly, I resigned from the position. It was tough because of so many things but it just didn’t seem like I had any more to do?! I guess that’s the sad thing about the save.. Whether it would have taken me 10 years, 20 years or even 50 years I knew that I would complete my ultimate goal and have to say ‘Hej då’ to the club at some point a long the line.
That said, I had a new goal which is what the answer to your questions about the title of the page were at the start (I don’t know if anyone literally questioned it?).. Destroy what I made! That’s right, take another Swedish club and knock my creation off its perch.
Now, I could have sat down and been really mean. Varbergs BOIS do have a rival believe it or not, and they are Varbergs GIF! I would have actually taken this on, but unfortunately they were a non-league side that I couldn’t access. So, I just had to wait until a job offer came a long. If it was lower than the Swedish Premier League I would just aim to win the Premier League title.. If it was a Premier League club, then I would go about trying to win the Champions League and regularly surpass Varberg in whatever I can.
So, I left the club in a very healthy position around mid November 2029. I wanted a club that felt right, one that I could relate to in some way shape or form whether I had been there in person or remember some part of it from way back when. It took an unholy amount of time shifting though the dead wood (Both English and Swedish teams?!) before I found a solution. 31st May 2030..
And a little while later..
Job done.
Tune in next time to get the run down of my new challenge of ‘Destroying the Dynasty’.
Till then, Hej då :D

I’ve enjoyed this story and its a little sad to see you leave BOIS but I’m sure you’ll soon surpass them with Malmo and create another great side, good luck :)

You did brilliantly with Varbergs Jake, shame you couldn’t retain your CL crown, and a bit sad to see you leave them, but I understand that winning the Swedish Premier League year after year is a little dull. Malmo will be an interesting challenge, and as ever, good luck!

When i saw the title i wondered what on earth you were up too. Can’t say im too pleased you’re leaving but your new challenge is exactly that, a challenge but of course you can do it. All the best.

Well what can I say, it will be sad to see you leave Varbergs because your achievements there were by far the best I’ve ever seen…but I like your thinking. What challenge could be tougher than beating yourself! :) Obviously I don’t mean literally but in essence thats what you need to do.

You give me too much credit! Haha, exactly.. Hopefully my idea paid off and I can get motivated about the save again :)

Malmo is a bit of a sore point with me at the moment considering they knocked Rangers out of CL last night!

Ahh Widge.. Always something to complain about! Sorry pal, didn’t mean anything against Rangers ;)

good idea for a great story! u looking to poach any players or start with brand new players and leavve varbergs?
Excessive

Thanks Baz! I mean I will always try and poach the best players and if I can do that from Varberg (especially the youngsters) it would be brilliant. Although, I can’t see it happening as the fee’s will be massive and I don’t exactly have the biggest of budgets :(

Wow, didn’t see that coming!
Shame not to see another CL with Varbergs, but this is going to be a great challenge. Malmo are quite a good team, although that may be different in your game…anyway, good luck! :D
