Shoody Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I finally managed to get rid of Heskey in Jan 2012, by May 2012 he has just been unveiled as Bolton's manager after they sacked Coyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Clark has been my most consistent performer for 2 seasons, always gets in the defence (ahead of mamadou sakho to boot). None of his mistakes had ever led to a goal. Made him vice-captain and suddenly he cant tackle to save his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah thought so, decided to manage tamworth instead.. loaning players is really hard, signing players is out the question.. will be tough but I reckon I can do it. They did give me some money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Villa finally saw the light on my game and sacked Houllier (he almost got Villa relegated on the game too!) then hired Southgate as manager. Some hirings can be quite odd on FM, at the moment Johan Neeskens is managing Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 international management is a great challenge as you can double job and when i managed Ireland i was managing a lot of teams all over Europe. Should give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yeah, tamworth one is a hard challenge so i'll leave it for some time later this month or something when I have time to sort out the mess (they have like 5-6 youth players in the team just to cover numbers i guess as they are dire). I'll give managing Ireland a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexVilla Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 On 10 I took Ghana to the world cup final in 2014. Beat hosts Brazil in the semis after their press had predicted a walkover with me having no chance. Lost to France in the final though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 In terms of a network game, I could do it, although whoever has the best computer should run it basically and should without being harsh be the 3/4 most 'dedicated' players for specific times, any more than that and it'd just be ridiculously. I don't mind not being involved but I know how to set one up, so if there is movement on that front, I'll fill you in me included or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Won the double with Q.P.R in the semi final now of the FA Cup.. On my way to win my first treble ever! I have declared interest in the watford job, they are 22nd in the championship and if I get the job i'll hopefully do the same there. Will be sad to leave Q.P.R though but I don't want to manage in the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted February 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2011 I took my Villa team to Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League glory in my 3rd season. My starting line up was largely Ochoa; Richards, Davies, Zapata, Gibbs; Reo-Coker, Medunjanin; Young, Downing; Dzeko, Agbonlahor. Just before the Champs League final I got offered the Man Utd job with a salary of £115k per week, a wage budget of £3.5m per week and a transfer budget of £150m quid (they've been bought out by an Argentinian consortium). I delayed, then accepted after the final. My new team there is De Gea; Walker, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Rodwell, Pastore; Ninis, Di Maria; Rooney, Aguero. Things have started brightly but I'm getting tired of this career now. Want to get the update and start again with a new challenge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Won League 2 with Oxford at the last home game of the season. A load of crap players left in the summer and I managed to sign Gary Gardner, Zenden and Robbie Fowler to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'll host one... anybody want to start one then? This thread is a bit slow should make it a bit busier. Premiership sides? abroad? what league shall we play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexVilla Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Anyone else disappointed with this effort by SI? Match engine seems extremely poor with the gap in class between good and average being too big meaning the upset is almost impossible. Tactics seem irrelevant with certain tactics again being clearly better than others and if your players don't fit these tactics then tough. Too many basic errors by players such as defenders not being goal side from a deep set piece yet one guy playing everyone onside. Players also find space far too easily and have too much time on the ball. Researchers seem keen to overrate their players (don't include andy clarke in this) epsecially arsenal and spurs. Still think this is by far the best management game around and still a very good game but my interest is ebbing away and don't think this one is as good as previous games. Shame as added bit like agents and conversations are both things I like. Hopefully the next will be more of an update with efforts concentrated on bringing areas of the game up to scratch and not on incorporating new features (can't see what else to include anyway).
