FOOTBALL Football Manager Discussion

well I finished 9th wioth stoke in my 3rd season, and still haven't moved to juventus.

Although Wenger (the then inter manager) retired and who gets the job?

me.

25 games in to the season and I'm unbeaten, 18 points clear of second. won 3-2 in the firsty leg of the italian cup semis at home to catania, 2-1 away to partizan in the first leg of the cl knock-outs. Played about 35 matches. won about 28, lost one (3-0 away to shaktar, who I then beat 4-0 at home anyway) and drew a few others.

Van der vaart for 3million, Kjaer for 10 million and vidal for 11 million were brough in in the summer and all have been rated as "superb" signings by the fans. podolski came in the january window for 15million. cup tied for europe but it means I can rest lavezzi for the champions league games.

Anything from at least XP. It might even back date further than that, but it will be fine on 7.

Thanks.

That's a good bargain.

That's a good bargain.

it was in the summer in between the 3rd and 4th season, so he is about 30. But he is generally in the top 3 for goal of the month every month.

Sneijder injured, just doppred silly points at home to 12th in the league (they held out for a 0-0) but I'm 20 points clear with 8 games to play, only realy disappointing thing is that I can't finish on 100 points now.

United in the CL quarter finals. Lavezzi suspended for the fist leg (4-1 up on aggregate and he gets sents off half an hour in to the second leg. idiot).Which is away, minimum expectation is the semi finals so need a big performance. Haven't conceded for 4 matches so hopeful.

done the double. 4-1 win against palermo in the cup final, wrapped up the league at home to milan with 6 matches to play (and a 4-0 win, menaing I beat them 4-0 twice) Should have won it the week before but lost my first match of the season. Holidayed the rest of my league matches as there was no point (had record goals scored and couldn't do an unbeaten season or be caught)

lost 1-0 at united first leg of the CL quarters. rooney sent off after 30 minutes in the san siro and I won 2-0.

Madrid in the semis, 1-1 half time. Made the mistake of attacking for the win and went down 3-1.

two goals before half time gave me the lead on away goals, but a second half strike from benzema put madrid through.

Went through an unbeaten pre-season with Villa until the final game - a 3-0 loss to Hartlepool I mean Hartlepool? Seriously.

Signed Park Ji-Sung (?4.2mil), Roque Santa Cruz (?2.4mil), Matty Taylor (?5mil) and Jlloyd Samuel (?975k). Park and Santa Cruz were both offered to me. Absolute bargains.

Bolton first up in the Prem.

Laptop currently broken and havent played FM in a few days, starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Starting to miss the likes of Cahill, Arteta, Yakubu and Santa Cruz being in my life.

Was doing pretty well, sticking it in aroind 4th or 5th with the league pretty tight up top. Final of the League Cup against the Arse. Bought in Santa Cruz and Donovan and then sold Louis Saha. Santa Cruz started off slowly but eventually stuck him as a poacher and has been bagging goals left right and centre now and Donovan is just solid as a rock.

My two biggest results were the 4-4 draw in the Merseyside Derby after going 3-1 downm, and the 2-0 win over United at Old Trafford. Nice.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

haven't played since the other day. done 4 seasons all ready though so quite frankly need a little break.

Also managing belgium, made steven defour (my first big money signing, and I am in his favourite personnel) belgium captain. with the aim of possibly bringing him in to sit on the bench at inter.
Stoke finished 16th without me, despite having basically the same squad I finished 8th with. I'm just a god.

Got the game finally. A question? Can we be the manager of a national team from the beginning itself? Because I want to be like that.

 

[treva]

Yes you can. When you come to selecting your first team you need to select 'National Teams' on the drop down list.

Ah, its working thank you. Going to work with India soon.

Finished season 1 with City in 3rd; not a bad effort considering I was close to the sack after 8 games.

Rewarded with a new ?150k p/w contract for four years; followed naturally with a 4-0 reverse at home to Arsenal, and 1-0 loss against Stoke.

Just drew Man U in Carling Cup 3rd round. Mares.

 

[treva]

Just beat Luzern 9-1 in the Europa League, with Agbonlahor scoring five. However, after a good start with two wins, my Premiership form has gone to ████. Lost my last four against West Ham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Really need to pick it up, but hopefully that thrashing in Europe should lift them for our next match against Wigan.

bit of international team hopping and I'm england manager.

didn't have a national job so applied for the first one that became available. got the poland job. 2 months later belgium offer me a job and I move up in the world.

Croatia's manager gets sacked 6 months later, and I apply for that job. get offered it but also offered the england job, take the latter.

Scotland fan though, but too good a team to refuse.
