I'm pretty sure it changes. When I won it with Solihull in 2027 or so, I remember it being a different amount to when I won it with clubs in the first few years.

There's a problem with my game re: international call-ups. Don't know if it's the patch or what but anyway..... If you withdraw someone from an international call-up they will never be called up again. In fact the computer somehow makes it impossible for them to be called up. When I was Villa manager I withdrew Gabby, Young, Bent at various times but didn't withdraw Alby or Walker. Then when I got the Bayern job, I got the England job a few weeks later. First international game comes round and I try to put them in the squad. It doesn't allow me, there is no option to put Gabby, Young or Bent in the squad but I am able to call up Alby and Walker.

Started a new game as Villa. 2010/2011 Prem - 6th FA Cup - Won it. League Cup - 1/4 Final UEFA Cup - Group Stages Couldn't really get rid of players except Salifou (for £1.6m). Petrov, Beye loan fees. Sold Cuellar for £9m in January. Decided to buy players for £0 up front and all money after 36 months. F. Coentrao (8m), S. Parker (15m) in August. Mou. Sissoko (15m), P. Jones (15m), J. Pastore (33m), R. Adler (17m), S. Kiesling (17m) all in January. Created a new tactic that scored a lot of goals (2nd most in Prem) but conceded a few too. Easy draws in FA Cup, best team I played was Sunderland in final. Lost to Millwall in LC. Had Porto & Lille in UEFA. 2011/2012 Prem - 1st FA Cup - 1/4 Final. League Cup - 4th Rd. UEFA Cup - Won it. Got rid of Carew, L. Young, Guzan, Friedel, Osbourne, Marshall, Pires, NRC all on frees. Sold Dunne (3m), Heskey (100k), Ireland (10m), Petrov (2.9m), Weimann (600k), Beye (500k), Makoun (Loan fee). Bought K. Walker (7.5m), K. Papadopoulos (7.5m), S. Aurier (11m), P. Henrique (17m), L. Baines (11m) all in August. 5 youth regens in January. Tweaked the tactic a little to improve defensively. Worked a treat. Was top from 4th game onwards. Lost to Man C in both domestic cups. Easy draws in UEFA 'till 1/4's. Had Valencia, draw away & win home. Arsenal in semi's. Luckily I had them in league 3 days before 1st leg and had enough advantage at the top to play 2nd team in league and rough them up a bit. Obviously worked as beat them 4-0 in 1st leg and could have been more. 2-2 in 2nd leg. Beat Fiorentina 1-0 in final. Darren Bent and Kiesling are absolutely lethal together, in advanced and deep lying positions respectively. Bent scored 27 in 44 then 38 in 42. Ciaran Clark was quality too, was 4th choice in 1st season. Had to play due to injury around March and became 1st choice from then on. ---------First Team (League)----------------------------2nd Team (Cups) -----------------Adler----------------------------------------------------Adler------------- Walker--Jones-----Clark-----Baines---------------Aurier---Papadop---Collins---Warnock -------------Sissoko-----------------------------------------------------Parker Downing-----------------------Young---------------Albrighton-----------------Coentrao --------------P.Henrique-----------------------------------------------Pastore ---------Kiesling-----Bent-----------------------------------Delfouneso----Gabby ------------ Got offered Bayern job in Feb 2012. Delayed decision until end of season but decided to take it.

20-odd shots. Hit woodwork 5 times. 4 CCC's. Blackburn 7 shots, 3 on target. They win 1-0.

Everton just beat me 2-1. They had 2 shots, I had 20 odd. I've seen people complain all the time about the AI winning by the odd goal despite being absolutely dominated, never really happened to me before. Until this new patch and it seems to be happening all the time and it's really starting to piss me off!

Unbelievable!

Albrighton just put in a lovely cross along the floor in the yard box. Gabby had to score, instead he boots it away for a throw-in and the commentary says "Agbonlahor gets in to clear the danger". WTF!! Luckily it didn't cost me the game.

Andy might confirm this but I'm pretty sure it works on reputation. The most reputable club being predicted 1st and so on.

On one of my games Mick McCarthy became Real manager after just keeping Wolves in mid-table for a couple of seasons.

Just watched Four Lions. 2 words - **** hilarious!

Watched 127 Hours last night. Really good, just a bit gruesome near the end.

On this Man City game I've "donated" £70m to Solihull Moors by buying up a couple of youth players and £120m to Villa by buying up Chris Herd, Stiliyan Petrov and a couple of youth players. Solihull have already got 1 promotion and lurking around playoffs in Conference. Villa not fairing so well. Finishing 10th, 11th, 15th. Alan Shearer now in charge.

It finished with me resigning after the 2028-2029 season. Hoping to get another job but then I decided to leave that game alone as a one-club man. Though I forgot about the 20 season Steam achievement. 1 season off. In the end I won: CL: 1 Prem: 3 FA Cup: 3 Euro Super Cup: 1 World Club Cup: 1 League Cup: 2 Championship: 2 Community Shield: 2 L1, L2, Conference, Conf North: 1 apiece. Left the club as a legend, but annoyingly behind the star striker. Reason for leaving was that most of my world class players were becoming too old and despite having a wealth of top youth, didn't really want to integrate a new squad again. Also the club was relying on loan fee's to balance the books every season due a tiny stadium. I can speak basic French & Arabic due to managing Senegal & Tunisia for a short while. Also managed England, losing in WC final and Euro Semi's (Annoying the Euro's were held in England that year.) Managed Brazil for 5 days too. Resigned as I realised I didn't actually want it. Was PL Manager of Year on 2 occasions, and Manager of Month 9 times.

After my marathon Solihull Moors game I wanted an easy one without much work to do, before I start another proper one again, so just chose Man City. The way I'm doing it is buying players for £0 up front then whatever amount in 48 monthly installments. This means my transfer budget stretches further enabling me to buy more players for more money than I should be able to. i.e. transfer budget of £50m but able to buy Fabregas for £0 up front and £90m after 48 months. Give them whatever wages they want. Doesn't matter how much debt I get into, the chairman will just pump free money back into the club. Weirdly it's always an amount to bring the bank balance to pretty much bang on £40m. Played 3 seasons. Finished 2nd, 2nd, 1st. Lost in Euro Cup 1/4's, then CL Semi's, then won CL. Rubbish in FAC and won LC twice.

Can't remember what the prize money from UEFA is but you get about £25m from TV revenue if you get to the final.

Khouma Babacar - ST - Fiorentina Paulo Henrique - AMC - Santos They have to be the 2 must buy players.

Have again done 2 seasons since my last update. 1st - 2025-2026 Prem: 2nd. 6 pts off. FA Cup: Lost the Final. League Cup: Lost in Semi. Champo League: 1st Knockout Rd. Bit of a disappointing season. Coming close in everything domestically but ending up with nothing. Still no progress in CL. No major signings. A couple of backup players and more youths. Bringing in just under £50m from loan fees. ------------------- 2nd - 2026-2027 Prem: Won it. FA Cup: Won it. League Cup: 4th Rnd. Champo League: Won it. Cracking season. Finally got further than 1st round in CL, and ended up winning it. Man City in final. Between Manu & I for title. I won it penultimate week, had to play Manu last day at Old Trafford so good job had it tied up. Beat Manu on pens for FA Cup. 2 major signings this year topped off with loads of youngsters. Spent 86 mil this season. Recouped 69 mil through loan fees and 2 sales. --------- I'm England manager too. Lost the 2026 WC final to Spain 1-0. We hosting Euro 2028 so boring atm just playing friendlies. I was going to quit once won CL with Moors but enjoying this game so will carry on for a bit.

Wil post a list of managers we've had later. Not inspiring at all. Still got Randy at the helm though. Houllier Curbishley - Leage Cup Winners, FA Cup Runners-up Dave Jones Tony Pulis Paul Jewell Steven Gerrard Mark Hughes Chris Brunt - Got top 4 Bruno Alves Gary Issot (Apparently he is currently a youth coach at Crystal Palace in real life) So apart from Curbishley nobody has done anything

I usually don't get past about 5 seasons but this time I set out with Solihull Moors and wouldn't stop until I won the Prem and CL. Although tbh there was one stage I was ready to quit. I was in the Championship for 2 seasons after getting relegated from Prem and if I didn't get promoted that season I would have quit. I did and the rest is history.

Me. I live there (Edited Málaga to correct spelling.)

Double Post.

Have done 2 seasons since my last update. 1st - 2023-2024 Prem: Won it. FA Cup: 3rd Rd. League Cup: 3rd Rd. Champo League: 1st Knockout Rd. Finally won the league but still no progress in CL. Knocked out by Barca this time. Made a couple of big signings. A Brazillian DC for £35m and an English MC for £15m. My transfer policy now consists of sending youngsters on loan bringing in loan fees then using those funds to buy more youngsters. Some sort of vicious circle that keeps increasing the amount of young players I have. ------------------- 2nd - 2024-2025 Prem: 3rd. FA Cup: Semi-Final. League Cup: 3rd Rd. Champo League: 1st Knockout Rd. Not a great season. Quite a few points of the title. Man City ran away with it. Lost to Arsenal in FAC Semi. Lost to Sevilla on away goals in CL. Maninho (My amazing Brazilian striker) has won Golden Boot in Europe 3 years in a row now and runner up for World Player of Year. 1 major signing. £20m for an Italian DM. Brought in £30m through loan fees. Bought some youngsters with the change. My plan now is to win the CL then I will quit this game. I am also England manager atm but not really bothered about that.

How did you get 4 tickets? I thought it was only 1 ticket per customer?

Was going to post that myself, found it **** hilaroious!
