The brief
The board's target depends on the club's size and its division, not on last season.
Honours
Trophies from the old APL count too, but have no season recorded.
Rivalries
FC Cat
The fixture the season is arranged around. Nobody involved is calm about it.
Some rivalries are built on trophies. This one is built on the gap between what two clubs expect and what they get.
FC Cat is the club of ambition: a big fanbase, bold transfers, and a habit of signing names that were supposed to change everything. They also have the distinction nobody expected: the Season 1 double, the APL Cup beaten out of Giraffe Athletic 5-1 and the Super Cup taken off Cobra City 3-2. Three seasons later they have not won anything else, and ninth in Season 4 is their worst finish yet.
Dog CF has never finished above eleventh, and finished seventeenth in Season 4. No title, no cup, no era. What they have instead is two APL Cup finals, Season 3 and Season 4, back to back, and they lost both. The Season 3 one went to penalties against Lion City after a goalless final, 4-3. The Season 4 one was 4-3 to Goats United in ninety minutes.
So the argument between them is not about who has won. It is about what winning is worth. FC Cat have two trophies from a season nobody thinks about any more; Dog CF have two finals from the last two and nothing to show. Each side thinks the other's record is an accident.
Every missed chance feeds it. Every final whistle reopens it.
