[FM24] [EN] LLM - The Oldest Club in the World - A Carlos Dolbeth Adventure

[Burkina2008]

June 29th, 2023 - A stranger calls

 

Carlos Dolbeth was born in Nova Lisboa (Portuguese Ultramar Province), nowadays Luanda (Angola) in 1954 but with the Carnation revolution in 1974 and the subsequent independence of Angola, he soon came to Lisbon where he became a journalist, mostly in the sports section. During many years he was only a voice of some relatively unknown sports radio and Portuguese music programs. He never hid his love for Sporting Clube de Portugal and when the club started a tv channel (SportingTV) during the Bruno de Carvalho presidency in 2013, he was invited to have a weekly commentary on one of the many, very biased, programs. Soon he gathered a small following with various Youtube clips, due to his borderline demented comments…

But as it is well known, Bruno de Carvalho would not last long as a president of the club and leaving in shame, the new presidency also wanted to have a “classier” approach to the SportingTV channel and Carlos was left without a presence on TV since 2018. He went back to Radio Amalia (a Portuguese music/popular radio with little market share) until in July 2023 he got a call on a +44 number. Initially he disregarded this as a scam call of some sort but after the third call in 10 minutes, he picked it up and before he could say “Who the fuck are you?” on the other side a man called Richard Tims said in a perfect sounding British English “I am the president of Sheffield F.C. and I have been waiting to give a job to someone with your passion for more than a decade!”

Carlos was puzzled…” Sheffield United wants me? Or is it Sheffield Wednesday? To do what? A radio show?”. In a bit of a broken English Carlos answered, “Is this a joke?” but from the other line Richard Tims answered “You can go now to the airport and there will be a BA flight to take you to Manchester and from there a car will pick you up and drive you to Sheffield. If you leave now, you will be here by dinnertime, and we can discuss the contract and the conditions. Is this reasonable to you?”. Still taking in all the information Carlos told himself that worse comes to worse he had the chance to Old Trafford, so he answered “Yes, sure, I will be on my way”

 

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Aquele Varandas e o Amorim até parecia que tinham feito alguma coisa de jeito, mas esta última época, um miserável quarto lugar, saída da taca bem cedinho…safou-se a participação na Europa, podíamos ter ganho aqueles mafiosos italianos nos quartos, mas já se sabe que a UEFA não gosta do Sporting. Depois venderam os putos que faziam falta como o Palhinha, o Nuno Mendes e o Matheus Nunes para irem buscar umas m*rda como o Rochinha e um grego que não jogava um crl…não se podia esperar melhor.

July 3rd, 2023 - Not Wednesday nor United

 

Carlos Dolbeth arrived in Manchester at 3,30pm and as advertised, a person was waiting for him in the arrivals hall. There was no limo, but he got picked up in a 10-year-old Volvo with a driver that spoke little to no English. Already cursing himself for not having stayed home and went to the bar to see the Sporting B game, the car stopped after an hour, not in Sheffield but in a small outskirt town called Dronfield. “Where the hell are we? Where is the big stadium?” as soon as he said, the car door opened, and Richard Tims greeted him with “Welcome to Sheffield F.C. Carlos!”. Puzzled Carlos looked at the football pitch that looked like something from the Portuguese 3^rd division and said “Oh, hello, this must be the academy or the training center, no?”

“No, no, this is our stadium…you know the history of our club, don’t you?” Richard said. “Well, are you actually Sheffield United or Sheffield Wednesday?” inquired Carlos. “We are neither, we are the oldest club in the world, Sheffield F.C. I am sure you heard of us…,” said the president. Seeing a vague expression of confusion in Carlos face, he continued “Our club started having informal “football” games in 1855 and the first recorded football game in history was played by us in 1860 against a club nearby, Hallam FC, the second oldest club in the world. Not just that but the first written association football rules, were drafted by us.”. With disbelief on his face Carlos answered “I had never heard about you or your club prior to this morning. What exactly do you want from a Portuguese radio presenter like me? And in what division do you play nowadays? 4^th league?”

Looking worried Richard shot “Look, we want someone with your passion, the same passion we see on the YouTube videos when you were defending Sporting. We need that. We want you to become our manager. We don’t have a lot of money, but we will pay for a flat, a car, gas expenses, 4 flights back home per year and 1500 Euros”. Seeing Carlos face in disbelief, Richard added “and you can eat and drink at the club restaurant every day for free…by the way, as you asked, we are in the 9^th division of English football”. Carlos did not know what to say, he was paid the same amount in his radio job, but the food, housing and drinks was something else. Besides, he was tired of doing the same lame radio show for years now. “If you provide me Sport Tv to see the Sporting games, we have a deal”.

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Então, mas acham mesmo que com este plantel vamos lá? Se na época passada não conseguimos e ainda por cima vendemos o Porro (que corre pa crl) e o Ugarte. Não temos estratégia de mercado! Fomos buscar um chaimite sueco aqui a Inglaterra, o Trincão que no Barcelona nem para o banco ia, um espanhol qualquer do Valladolid (ou Salamanca ou outra terra qualquer) e um dinamarquês que jogava num clube italiano que eu nunca ouvi falar. Epá podem encomendar as faixas de campeão, que isto esta entregue ao Benfica este ano. Pelo menos despacharam o grego (que se via grego para jogar a bola, hehe).

August 5th, 2023 - Are we ready?

 

Dolbeth started working hard for the get go. His “no fucks given” style was weird but refreshing. First order of business was meeting the local press, with whom Dolbeth stated from the start “I am also a reporter! Here is my certification” and with phrases like “You were still in your fathers’ balls, and I was already doing journalism”. He did not make a lot of friends in the media… Also, the coaching structure was improved with a scouting department where Dolbeth was over the moon to be able to hire Rommy Bocco, a 48-year-old Benin international, with whom Carlos could speak about the wonders of Africa. Despite two partnerships with Championship clubs, Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday, it did not seem that any prospects were willing to move to the south of the city…

Carlos had a dilemma. Despite his 50 years plus work as a sports journalist, he was never a coach or a manager, so where to start? 4-4-2 was always a typical British formation, relatively straightforward, so he believed this was the path to the team’s success. But not with the players at hand…half of them were too fat, too slow, too clumsy, etc. The youth team, a disaster, only one Goalkeeper worth being in the first team as a second backup. It was off to the market, “selling” for free no less than 10 players and releasing another 8 (would have been more if another three did not have semi-professional contracts). To counterbalance and always rely on the scouts who bought 10-20 new suggestions every week, a total of 15 players arrived at the club on loan or semi-professional contracts.

It was hard to impress Carlos, but two new hires stood out, left midfielder Luke Billam, who had not played in the last 2 seasons but had Championship experience (at least at U23 level) and the stricker Darnell Mintus that despite his young age played the last few seasons in these lower divisions at a good level. The friendlies had already been scheduled, so Carlos had no influence on the choosing of the adversaries, which left the team playing two teams he knew (Hearts) or heard about (Billericay Town) which resulted in loses and a few other teams which seem to be a bunch of recreational players that played together after work…those were mainly wins. Unsure of the preparation of the team and the quality of the other clubs in the league, Carlos Dolbeth was skeptical.

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Eu não digo? Epá mandem já embora o Varandas ou quem for que tratou do mercado! 3 jogos amigáveis, um com os miúdos em que parecia que estavam a jogar contra uma equipa do mesmo nível, depois uma derrota com o clube de onde compramos aquele Fresneda ou Fresmerda e no final uma vitoria contra uns mancos da Holanda…ainda por cima o primeiro jogo do campeonato vai ser com os lampiões. Não tenho fé nenhuma nesta equipa.

September 7th, 2023 - Flawless

 

1304 supporters showed up at Home Football Stadium to see Carlos Dolbeth coach the oldest club in the World for the first time. In a game for the FA Cup Extra Preliminary round (which should give you an idea of how many hurdles we would have to go through to win such a trophy), Sheffield F.C. faced a team from a tier below (from the 9^th tier of English football) which had a Portuguese player. Abdul Djalo was a midfielder that left Sacavenense Academy to join Manchester United, but after two seasons in the U-18 team, went further and further down the English league system and now found himself with 21 years old in a semi-professional team with little expectation of improvement. The game itself was dominated by Sheffield, but it was clear that with so many new faces, some chemistry was still lacking and the 1-0 was a bit of a disappointment after around 21 shots (7 at goal). Still, it was on to the next preliminary round…

In the first league game the crowd did not reach 500 as this was against the newly promoted team of Newton Aycliff, trained by an ex-Sunderland player which hadn’t had any real success in his 20+ years as a coach. At home and with the stronger team, it was the debut for many players and the two, arguably best players, Mintus on the attack and Billam on the left, made the final 2-0 result and the first 3 points of the season for Sheffield F.C. In the following week, there was the preliminary FA Cup round and against Chasetown, a team of the same division as Sheffield F.C. but in another series, the result was short for the quality of the exhibition. Nevertheless, the team advanced to the next round and pocketed 1680 pounds.

 

While the first away game at Brighouse Town ended up in clear victory for Sheffield F.C. who at this time were climbing not only in the table but also in the bookies odds of reaching promotion, the last game of August was the first real challenge. Stockton Town was a tittle contender and had 2 wins in 2 games, so the game was even with many goals, nice strikes from outside, penalties, drama, injuries, but in the end, Sheffield was never behind on the scoreboard and managed a 4-3 win, to finish August with 5 games in 5 matches Billam as best player of the month and Dolbeth as manager of the month. One thing that was clear was the amount of fatigue setting in and September started with another 2 Cup games. First and finally the 1^st Qualifying Round of the FA Cup against Belper Town from our division. Playing again with home advance, on paper Belper Town was a weaker adversary, who only managed to get 1 point in 3 games in the league, but they were touted to have the best player in the division, right winger Zack Goodson who had already 2 goals and one MoM award. Fate would see Sheffield having to play a replay match after a bit of misfortune in the first match, where despite dominating, the team suffered early and just after scoring to draw and already in comeback form, saw one midfield be dismissed with a red card. The replay round was even more thrilling with a final 2-3 win of Sheffield despite, in this case, counting on the misfortune of Belper Town who missed a penalty and never really saw their top star contributing enough. The second qualifying round is already in less than 2 weeks.

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Eu disse logo que com estes caramelos não íamos lá. O jogo com os lampiões ainda dou de barato até porque ficaram 3 penalties por assinalar, mas com o Rio Ave o Paulinho marcou logo no início e depois jogamos o resto do jogo a defesa como uns conas. Claro o calendário também era f*dido, mas no Dragão mais uma vez o Pintinho e a sua mão na arbitragem, so marcava faltas para um lado e cartões nem vê-los. Pelo menos aquele tanque sueco até parece jogar alguma coisa, mas este Amorim…rua já! Bem a culpa não fica só com ele, porque o Varandas ainda pior!

October 13th, 2023 - Cup Extravaganza

 

Carlos Dolbeth knew that success came at a price and for a team of semi-professionals, the number of games at the moment was excessive. Playing twice a week a few weeks in a row had a negative impact and for the FA Trophy the decision to use a second team was a risk that Carlos was more than willing to take. Away against Sutton Coldfield, 2 injuries and 2 cancelled goals later, Sheffield F.C. had their first loss of the season. Well at least they could concentrate now again on the FA Cup where the 2^nd Qualifying round home against Rushall Olympic from Vanarama National South would probably be the end of the line. But this team really had the strong spirit of Carlos Dolbeth and against a stronger opponent, Sheffield had the luck of scoring earlier (Mintus of course) and seeing Rushall be denied by VAR twice…a full stadium and more money in the pocket for the best run of Sheffield FC in the Cup for more than 100 years!

Finally, back to the league, Sheffield had an easy win 3-0 at home prior to visiting Dunston, the other team of the league with 4 wins in 4 games. This was a real test, and the game was always very even with Sheffield FC taking the lead but conceding to go into the last few minutes with 1-1. Sheffield scored again at the 88^th minute but conceded shortly after for a fair 2-2 result. There was not a lot of time to waste as the 3^rd Qualifying Round for the FA Cup was just around the corner and this time, we were facing Alfreton Town, another team of the same level as Rushall. Could Sheffield FC pull another miracle at home? Almost, almost. At home again with a full stadium Sheffield managed to come from behind a draw the game in the last minutes to force another replay.

 

In the replay, this time the team was not able to find the net and despite not having shown a difference in terms of quality to Alfreton, their 1-0 loss put an end to a good FA Cup run. Done with (almost) all cups, it was time to get back to the league with a very tired team who was going for the 5^th game in 19 days. And yet again it was not against a team where Sheffield could rest players. Liversedge was second in the table and were yet to lose to the competition this season. It ended up being a game that was of total control in the first half and a bit of too much relaxation in the second but winning nevertheless to maintain Sheffield invictus. Finally and against the weakest adversary Sheffield barely saved themselves from a first defeat after playing with many 2^nd string players and only scoring to draw in extra time against Grantham Town. After 7 rounds Carlos Dolbeth and his boys are on top but there is a lot to play for and the table is packed.

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Recuperação? Mas devem estar a brincar! Vencemos o Farense a rasca e o Torrense para a Taca das caricas e já falavam em recuperação…pimba derrota com o Famalicão e vamos em nono lugar. Sim os resultados na Europa são bons, vencemos o Toulouse e o Betis sendo que os israelitas que aí veem a seguir são fraquinhos. Mas com este treinador nunca se sabe… Ate Portugal tropeça, como há dois dias que empataram com a Islândia mas este Sporting do Amorim não tropeça, cai das escadas!

November 24th, 2023 - On Top

 

“Another cup?” shouted Carlos Dolbeth hearing that next he would have a double feature game with middle of the league Ashington. For the league away, followed by Northern Premier League Challenge Cup at home. “It’s the last one, there are no more cups!” said the President of the club apologetically. “Well in three days and with the boys tired, we have to field two teams and for me that Cup is irrelevant” decided Carlos. And so it was, despite the two different teams, the result of both games ended up being the same 2-1 victory and always coming up from behind after an early score from Ashington, the only difference was on how much superiority was shown in the league game compared with the Cup.

Another 4 days and it was back to the league for the 6^th and 7^th games of the month against two middle of the table teams with “funny” names. Two more or less comfortable wins later and after 10 games Sheffield was yet to lose a game, but Carlos Dolbeth was getting tired of the rainy weather and missing the Portuguese cuisine already. On its free time he roamed the region in search of talent together with its scouting team. Besides the good results, he had an eye on some new faces in January…if there was budget for that. November started with a 10-day brake followed by a home thriller which could have been avoided, had the defense been more on top. If there is a weaker side to this team it must be the back four. It is only that the capacity to score winning goals in extra time (as in this game against Bridlington Town) has been so far enough to keep on winning…

The 12th round was anticipated to be an easy fixture for Sheffield F.C. The game was away, but against Winterton Rangers who were dead last on the table and only had amassed 2 points. With that in mind the team rotated the starting 11 which ended up backfiring as after 15 minutes, Sheffield F.C. was two goals down…it then scored 4 to make it 2-4 at the half, only to have to comeback once again as Winterton Rangers score 3 goals from outside the area to make it 5-4, saved in the last second by a goal from Toor to get the draw and 1 point. It was not good but there were another 2 games in the next 6 days and the team was again on the verge of fatigue. The first of the games was again for the local cup with Stanford Rangers away, a team that was normally in the Vanarama divisions and a league game with a tough opponent also away. In the end Sheffield F.C. continues their cup run and grabs 1 more point, which leaves them still without league losses as league leaders. Still, something that came as a good surprise is David Dowson, age 35, having played for Sunderland almost 20 years ago, had been hired as a backup stricker and in that function has come from the bench and scored on numerous occasions, having one goal every 108 minutes! Carlos is so impressed that he became a beer companion in long after training talks about the good old days…

Esta tudo a fazer-se para saírem em Janeiro! Só pode! Se não qual seria a razão de apenas jogarem bem na Europa. Liga Europa 4 vitorias em 4 jogos, no campeonato mais uma derrota em casa com o Moreirense e um empate em Barcelos com o Gil Vicente. Depois o tanque sueco e o anão Goncalves parecem ser os únicos que conseguem marcar golos. O St. Juste uma nodoa autêntica, o Adan na baliza já devia ter sido despachado para a terra dele. Varandas RUA!

December 26th, 2023 - First Loss

 

Sheffield F.C. entered the Home of Football Stadium in the 14^th round of the league, still without losses and leading the table. Belper Town was the adversary and a team that they had played twice this season, for the FA Cup home game and replay. The end result of 4-2, with 3 goals from the strickers shows that it was a relatively easy game which continued their invincible run. The run on the Northern Premier League Challenge Cup on the other side came to an end…maybe for good as these are just games pilling up. Presenting a second-choice squad Sheffield F.C. was still the better team and managed to dominate most of the match but let in 4 goals and after a 4-4 full time result did not manage to get the better of Harborough Town in the penalty shootout.

Entering December on the 15^th round Sheffield needed to play away, facing the second team on the table and Vanarama experienced North Ferriby. This was in theory one of the hardest games of the season and the reality proved that this was not like most goal galore games until now. Very tight, even defensive, the game ended up being a 1 goal difference affair, with Sheffield F.C. once again coming up with the w. The next game wasn’t easy either as even at home we faced another team in the top 5 of the table and it was once again the veteran stricker, David Dowson coming from the bench at half time that gave the 3 points to Sheffield F.C. But the tough games at the start of December did not end there, as 4 days later a visit to Pontefract, saw Carlos Dolbeth facing the 3^rd placed Colls…and for the first time this season Sheffield seemed to be the worse team on the field, resulting in the first league loss at matchday 17!

One loss was not the end of the world, and the team only had another 3 days to prepare for the next game at home. Carlos decided to field some rotation players due to the number of fixtures in December which turned out to be the right move as Sheffield trashed Stocksbridge Park Steels by 5-2, with David Dowson, this time playing the full 90 minutes and scoring a hattrick! Shortly after Christmas and already with flights booked to Lisbon, it was another complicated visit to Ossett United, which did end up being a dreadful first half, but a fully controlled second 45 minutes to keep the form going and Dowson scoring once more from the bench. Not happy that there was a thing called Boxing Day, Carlos Dolbeth was at least satisfied that the first place in the table after the first round of the season was secure for now!

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Esta mediocridade estava a dar cabo de mim, mas parece que agora lhes deram qualquer coisa para tomar que a equipa despertou para a vida. Na taca ia dando m*rda, mas os putos la salvaram aquilo contra os ilhéus. No campeonato finalmente duas tareias com aquele tanque da Suécia a marcar uns golinhos, afinal o matulão até sabe jogar…pena o resto. Liga Europa em primeiro, meias-finais da taca da liga. Já estou a gostar! Não quer dizer que o Varandas e o Amorim estão perdoados, até porque ainda vamos em quarto no campeonato, a 12 pontos dos tripeiros, mas vamos dar mais umas jornadas! Já agora, Feliz Natal verde e branco!

February 2nd, 2024 - Some new faces

 

You could see from the onset that Carlos was not enjoying being away from home shortly after Christmas. In an interview he said that there was still much more codfish that he wanted to eat and that having to fly to Manchester on the 26^th of December, especially with the cold and dark setting in at 3,00pm, “uncatholic and stupid”. But the show must go on and some changes were being prepared in the background. Would we see some new faces, joining the club? Not in the first game home against Brighouse Town which had all the marks of two teams that did not want to be there and finished in a boring 1-1 result. Prior to the last game of the year Carlos Dolbeth announced that he did not count on 4 players for the rest of the season including Luke Mangham from the strickers, greatly giving roar to the rumors that new faces would be shown in 2024. It was nevertheless clear to everyone that the last game of the season was again a poor performance of a heavily rotated team where the only positive thing was the result.

The new year came, and Carlos Dolbeth looked happier to have been a few days in his home country where he forged two new signings for the team (working remotely!). Right back Tommy Williams, a player who didn’t play in the last 2 seasons but had his youth years in the Sheffield Wednesday school jumped right into the starting eleven for the first game of 2024, while the central defender Ethan Young, released by Scunthorpe United started from the bench on a game so boring that the first highlight came at minute 67…ending of course in 0-0. During the second week of January two new faces arrived in Sheffield, goalkeeper Mac Chisholm and stricker Dewain Sewell, a young player that seemed to have a lot of progression. Both were already in the starting XI together with the other two that had arrived the week earlier and at home against 5^th placed Dunston, it was clear that some chemistry was missing in the first half…which was compensated by individual actions in the second portion of the game with Sewell already putting his name in the scoresheet.

It was known that Sheffield F.C. had a few players that did not count for manager Carlos Dolbeth, but there seemed to be little interest in the market except for Mangham and Ed Hall, a stricker and a goalkeeper that had very few minutes this season and with the new arrivals would not play another match for the club. The month of January ended with another two fixtures, first away against Cleethorpes Town where the efficiency of the oldest club in the world built a 0-4 result that proved that all acquired players were an asset to the club while in the second and last game at home, against last placed Grantham Town, there was a little scare after the visitors scored first from the penalty spot. The result was soon reverted and at half time the score was already 4-1. The three points finally gave Sheffield F.C. a cushion to second placed Liveredge who at this point seemed to be the only team that could also fight for the title and automatic promotion.

 

 

Cronica Leonina!

Pior do que a mediocridade de estar em quarto lugar e perder todos os jogos contra os lampiões e os ladroes do Norte acaba por ser não contratarem um único jogador no mercado de Inverno. Onde esta a estratégia? Onde esta o director para o futebol? Onde esta o planeamento. Bando de paspalhos! Tem sorte que eu estou aqui em Inglaterra se não…epá isto agora só pode passar por concentramo-nos na Liga Europa, na Taca e planear a nova época, de preferência com um novo treinador…entretanto apenas o Edward parece saber jogar a bola!
