Popular Post DJ_Villain Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 Started at Gateshead and, after spells at Monza and Inter, got myself the Villa job where I won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League… However, Man City offered me the job… and I knew this was my time… So I took it… Then proceeded to butcher their squad, sold their best players for pittance, sacked all their back room staff, bankrolled Villa and Gateshead for hundreds of millions for their unwanted players, pissed off the fans, the board and the rest of the playing squad… and quit on my birthday - 38 days after getting the post… Worth it… so, SO worth it… 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I remember doing that to Man Utd on CM0102 They were literally unbeatable on that game. I took over, sold all their players and played a stupid formation which I think included the GK joining the attack and having no defenders. I remember losing a few games like 14-0 then they sacked me. 2 seasons later and they were unbeatable again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting that kid to go anywhere when hes on £200,000 a week for the next five years... Proper hatchet job on them... And im still proud of it! Oh yeah, I got the Gateshead job again so I was able to spend all of my ill gotten gains... Got them up to the Championship now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted December 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2022 I've never felt worthy to manage Villa on any FM game. Currently blitzing the league with Newcastle, while Villa languish in 15th. Still......not worthy. I don't think I'll ever be, as I've bought every iteration since FM2008, and have upward of 3,000 hours across all platforms. Never managed Villa. Is that weird. It's weird isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted December 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2022 Also, I always start unemployed, look for the first job opening that i'm 'feeling' at the time, but then do everything I can to make it Eastleigh. Why don't I just start with Eastleigh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't I just start with Eastleigh? My brother and I used to share a save game back when we lived together and always used to start with Eastleigh (we have lived in the New Forest since the mid 90s, so it makes sense as the most local team in the lowest playable league). I tried starting unemployed but only managed to get jobs in Scotland and America... So then I decided to actually pick a club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On FM19 I managed Villa for 37 season's and became the greatest manager of all time. Yes it's weird, although managing Villa on FM22 hasn't been much fun for me so far.

Doesn't take much to turn it around and only need a couple of players. Digne is a beast and grabs double digit assists every season. Watkins grows into a solid lone striker. Kamara and Luiz solid. I only really need to upgrade the right side to finish top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
