history [edit ]

Toshiba S.C. ( 1935–1995 ) [edit ]

Consadole ‘s cabaret tradition dates back to 1935 when Toshiba Horikawa-cho Soccer Club was founded in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. They were promoted to the now-defunct Japan Soccer League Division 2 in 1978. [ 3 ] They adopted new appoint Toshiba Soccer Club in 1980 and were promoted to the JSL Division 1 in 1989. [ 3 ] Their highest placement, 4th in the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Relegating themselves as they were not fix for J.League implementation, they joined the newly formed Japan Football League in 1992 and played the last season as Toshiba S.C. in 1995. [ 3 ] They sought to be a professional club but the owner Toshiba did not regard Kawasaki as an ideal hometown. This was because Verdy Kawasaki, one of the most big clubs at that time, was besides based in the city, which Toshiba obviously believed was not big enough to accommodate two clubs. ( Verdy has since crossed the Tama River to be based in Chōfu City in the west of Tokyo and has been renamed as Tokyo Verdy 1969 ; the merely remaining professional clubhouse is Kawasaki Frontale, in the first place character of Fujitsu. ) They decided to move to Sapporo where the local anesthetic government and community had been keen to provide a al-qaeda for a professional soccer team as they awaited Sapporo Dome to be completed in 2001. The possession was transferred from Toshiba to Hokkaido Football Club plc. before the start of the 1996 temper. [ 3 ] Toshiba does not have fiscal interest in the baseball club any more but Consadole inactive boasts their antecedent ‘s red and black colours on their undifferentiated. [ 4 ]

Consadole Sapporo ( 1996–2015 ) [edit ]

Consadole Sapporo inherited the JFL status from Toshiba S.C.. Their introduction season in 1996 was not excessively successful as they finished 5th and miss promotion. however, they won the JFL championship in 1997 and were promoted to J.League. [ 3 ] In 1998, their first gear J.League season saw them finish 14th out of 18 but this did not guarantee them staying up. From the 1999 season, the J.League had 2 divisions and the play-offs involving five teams ( four J.League sides and the champions of the JFL ) were to be played. In club to decide who were involved in the play-offs, not only the results of the 1998 season but besides those of the 1997 were taken report of. Consadole, who did not play in the previous season, was placed 14th in the aggregate stand and despite finishing above Gamba Osaka ( who had finished 4th in 1997 ), was forced to face the play-offs. They lost all four games, two against Vissel Kobe, and another two against Avispa Fukuoka, and became the first-ever J.League side that experienced delegating. [ 5 ] In 1999, Takeshi Okada, the former Japan national team coach, was appointed as head coach in an attempt to make an immediate rejoinder to J1, but this undertake failed as they finished 5th. Their fleshy investment on players counted against them and, at this orient, the debt owed by the baseball club exceeded 3 billion yen ( US $ 33 million ). The bankruptcy looked a near-certainty. In 2000, they cut costs dramatically. As a resultant role, the team frequently included a many as eight on-loan players in the starting line-up. however, this scheme paid murder and the club won the J2 championship adenine well as forwarding to J1. The baseball club posted a single-year profit for the inaugural time in their history this class. In 2001, they finished 11th in J1. however, at the end of the season, the baseball club failed to persuade Okada to renew the abridge and several leading players besides left the club. In 2002, they finished bottom and were relegated to J2 for a second time. [ 5 ] In 2003, they again tried to return to the top-flight immediately by investing heavily but the team did n’t perform well on the pitch. They finished 9th and their debt again crossed the 3 billion yen scar. The deficit-ridden baseball club realized they needed a drastic restructure and released highly paid leading players including mainstay Yasuyuki Konno. The regenerate but inexperienced team finished bottom of J2 in 2004. The bright side was their better fiscal situation where the debt was sharply reduced to less than 100 million yen. In 2005 and 2006, they finished 6th. In 2006 they besides reached the semi-finals of the Emperor ‘s Cup, 15 years after reaching the semi-finals in Kawasaki–the furthest they ‘ve reached in the Cup.
