in my 2nd season with Grimsby. Won the BSP and FA tophy last season, and am now 2nd in league 2. 2 points off top with a game in hand. good old grimsby!

Yes mate!

@lmb22051982 ^^^ tried posting that as a link but haven't a clue how to do it

haha since we relegated them!

Football manager 2013. im completely addicted!

totally forgot about coventry

Agreed!

what position were we when you completed it?

and if you cant find marmite then brown sauce has to go on it! lol

im totally unsure if we will go down or not. We are shit enough to, but it depends on wether we buy in the window. i said in october that we will only stay up if we sell bent and then buy.... but now thats looking bleak.

most successfull clubs in the west midlands surely have to be 1) villa. 2) Wolves . 3) west brom 4) Blues 5) walsall

Birmingham , for me will always be our main rivals. and without them in the prem, and wont be again for a while, if ever..... will make our next meeting with them that little bit more special as we havent played them for a good while. Dont mind the albion if im honest. Though a lot of their supporters that grew up in the 60's, 70's &early 80's see us as the main rival instead of wolves.

i had 2012 on iphone and PC mate and to be fair theres not much difference. the formation i use is 4-4-2. what i do is as soon as i take over a BSP team i clear the squad out and do a player search. I search players that are lised for loans and players whos contracts have expired. . no point in looking for players from the prem because you wont be able to mee their demands. But when you're loning and buying expired players look at their ratings..... eg : tackling, shooting, handling (GK obviously) for your first season in the BSP try and sign players with ratings of 10. Then when promoted look for ratings between 11-13. hope this helps mate

i downloaded the new one (2013) on my iphone last night and started off with grimsby again (BSP). 19 games played and im 5th with a game in hand and 4 points from top. The fitness of the players seem to go down more than the 2012 version. Anyone know how to prevent this?

bit gutted towards the end with how we managed the draw. but would have took a point before we had even kicked off

if you're in the BSP mate then look at loaning players from league 1&2 , their wage is low and also they are brilliant in the BSP. then when you get promoted look at loaning players from the league above. works for me also ship out a load of shit so then you can keep your wake budgit down.

would like to take this opportunity to wish all you fellow villains a very happy new year

i'd play 10 at the back and park a coach in front of goal

am i the only one in work today?

If you have an iPhone it's worth getting the app as its the older system

Wouldn't bother mate. Swansea is a tip

Usually when taking over a small team you need to totally change the team (there's a reason to why they are shit) have a look at getting players on loan and free transfers. Not telling you how to manage you're own team mate, just saying what works for me. Then when you get promoted, sell the players that you have bought in on a free, 100% profit. And then do the same again the season after. I'm Grimsby at the moment and have done this. Started in the BSP and now in the championship

If anyone follows me I will follow them back @lmb22051982

Top post. I'm sick of seeing fans blaming it on 'this and that'

I have it on toast, in spag Bol , in gravy on my Sunday roast also it's nice on a bacon sandwich
