This page will be all about the cubs current standing at the present moment.
The Manager (Me)
Here are just a few screenshots of my management success at the moment with Varbergs BOIS..
First off we start with a picture of the ‘Profile’ screen..
Then a picture of my stats. Obviously this is all from just playing with Varbergs BOIS ;)..
Lastly, is just a screenshot of the biography page. Hopefully I can add to what is already there in the future!
The Club History
Alright so with that out of the way, we can concentrate on the history of the club. If you have read through my forum story or gone followed me right from the start, you will know most of what I am about to tell you anyway but for the new readers, I will just get you up to speed!
As a reference, we are in January now which is pre-season for the Swedish League as the fixtures span from February through till December.
League Competitions
Varbergs BOIS started in the 4th tier of Swedish football in February 2010. From this I managed to guide them to the 3rd tier within that season! 2011 saw us challenge for promotion to the 2nd tier, only to come short by loosing in the playoffs. The year after we took our revenge, won the league and resided in the second division for a good 3 years before we started to make a move upwards. It wasn’t until 2016 that we were promoted as champions up till the Premier division though, through some hard slogs we finally got there.. and we weren’t finished yet. 2017 onwards was Varbergs BOIS’s and we have won the league since getting promoted a record 8 consecutive seasons.
Still haven’t got the most titles yet, and this is what i’m aiming for. IFK Göteborg have got the most, with 19 titles over the years.
Cup Competitions
Having not got anywhere close during the first few seasons of football, we eventually tried to fight our way into winning the Swedish cup. It wasn’t till 2017 that we made our breakthrough though, and we managed to win the final against Syrianska to secure a league and cup double after just getting promoted from the first division. Currently, we have had a further 6 cup wins since then and are looking to beat Malmö’s record of 15 cup wins over their history
Europe
Was only until recently that we managed to get into Europe due to the qualification involved. First season of qualifying we actually managed to get into the group stages of the Champions League! We have been there ever since, regularly finishing last up until around 2021 when we managed to break into the Europa League after finishing 3rd. Last year was our best year yet, having reached the quarter finals a couple of years before, went on to win it in sublime fashion against a strong Fiorentina side ;D
Currently, we have just finished top of our group and have gone into the knockout rounds of the Champions League for the first time in the clubs history where will face Liverpool!
Where we finished in the group:
The current draw:

Great to see you posting on the main site Jake, your story in the forums was great and I’m sure it’ll be even better now. I didn’t know you’d won the Europa League, so congratulations on that :) Looking forward to seeing how you get on the Champions League, good luck!
Excessive

Woot, onto the main site! I’m familiar with the progress, but that was a great summary of your success (I really like the «before» and «after» shots)! Can’t wait to see where you take the team from here, and I’m looking forward to some Champion’s League glory!

Welcome to the team Jake, great to have you on board. A very nice introduction that will get everyone up t speed too. You have a promising squad and amazing history since taking over. You’ve transformed the club in style. The home grown players rule seems to have held you back a little, but with time the Champions League will be yours! ;)
Excessive
2 мая, 2011 at 19:43
Thanks for the support Darren, much appreciated :).
I would put it more down to my players than myself, they have been brilliant. Especially with this Home Grown rule..
Just need to keep improving those facilities.. The Champions league is next! ;)

Hi Jake, You have done an outstanding job with this team. It’s pretty cool your grandfather designed the stadium for this team. It’s amazing how much patience you had with your team. By the way, what year are you in?
Excessive

Thanks Dan!
Well done for getting through most of it mate, I wouldnt have bothered myself ;)
Haha, its been a long, hard slog but I am finally through most of it. Might be somewhere around 2040 before I get to win the Champions League..
daniel
3 мая, 2011 at 00:30
haha dont worry i predict 2028 then you will win it but what wull you do after that will you carry on or make a new save
Excessive
3 мая, 2011 at 01:11
Probably going to be closer to 2040 I think ;).
Haha, well I’ll be trying to win the world cup with Sweden..
Have to also:
— Get over 19 league titles
— Get over 15 league cups
— Max out facilities at the club
— Leave the club in a state of European dominance.
We are quite a way off all of that yet so there are still atleast 10 seasons in it yet!

Haha i know that you have been following, thanks for your support!
Will try and win that Champions League trophy sooner rather than later.. Might be the later, though. We just don’t have the quality at the moment.

Welcome to the main site, I’ve seen your forum story, it was very popular :D
You have brought this squad a long way, last year you even had European success, time for Champions League glory :). If your games against Barcelona were a knockout round, you would’ve won!
Excessive
