  1. Nice Idea

    How did the Solihull Moors game finish up?

    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.

    Fair dedication that mate lol

    Trying to do my longest game ever on the game with Villa. In 6th season.

    In debt, not yet won anything though lol but finishing top 4 last 3 seasons. Keep Gettin knocked out by lower league clubs in the cups :(

  2. 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.

    Nice Idea

  3. He had more accuracy of putting his head through the post ;)

    Right started with Redditch

    Got a load of freebies in sent a load packin as well.

    Barrett is stand out signing at the moment and a striker dont remember his name

    Won first game away at staylybridge 4-1

    beginners luck as then went on to draw with alfreton and lose to boston

    both at home

    slightly frustrating after a great start

    need a little work on defence now

  4. january transfer window gone

    raided man city and got jerome boateng for free

    big coup by bringing in mario balotelli for 5.25m as he was unhappy

    sold riquelme on a free to free up wages and got rid of heskey

    all because balotelli wants high wages

    hope hes worth it

  5. morale, team talks and press conferences have a big effect on performance. i always find an assistant manager with good man management and motivating stats and let him take conferences.

    have a look at this guide for team talks. it's from FM10 but still seems to work fine.

    awesome

    cheers mate i will take a look

    never thought about the stats of my ass man lol

  6. Doing awful in my villa game

    Finished first season 13th having bought:

    Romelu Lukaku

    Jozy Altidore

    Juan Roman Riquelme

    Julien Faubert

    League cup final as well, had to beg to keep my job lol

    But now second season having bought:

    Phil Jagielka

    Federico Fazio

    Nedum Onuoha

    Victor (keeper)

    Clint Dempsey

    Borja Baston (youth though)

    Pape pate diouf

    Hugo Almeida

    Randy Lerner accepted bid for ashley young so lost him

    Only problem now is im bottom of league after 11 games

    I cant seem to turn it round!

    Everyone has a very poor morale, how do i turn that around quickly to avoid the sack??

    So frustrating, any ideas anyone?

  7. started a new game with Crystal Palace to test a tactic i'm working on, media prediction: 22nd in the Championship. made one signing and one loan signing so i pretty much have the squad i started with. 12 games in and i'm top of the Championship and unbeaten:

    either my tactic is working wonders, i've been really lucky, or the media prediction of 22nd severely underrates the Palace squad.

    what tactic you playing?
