    Was already talking to him, got him to stick the two new replacement threads and remove the older ones!
    He said pretty much that its up to us the users to run the forum. (Like put forward the ideas etc.

    What else could be we do? Maybe make a sig to promote the forum? As said by another user their has to be way more playing this game on here that dont know this forum even exists lol :pac:

    Yeah just seen that after I PM'd him. I think the idea of different threads for different topics such as Bargain Buys/Wonderkids/Tactics/Stories etc will work well as it does on plenty of dedicated FM forums.

    We need a challenge thread. One that focuses on short term goals would be great to keep people interested.

    This site is good for FM challenges. http://www.playfootballmanager.com/

    We could take a few from there. We could maybe have loads of challenges with points for completing each challenge. The harder the challenge the higher the points. A screenshot could be required as proof and we could maybe have a league table of the participants.

    Excellent idea Pablo! Though I don't think there should be as many challenges as there are on that site. Also, I'd prefer if the majority of the challenges were based on your management skill, etc. For example, one I saw on the site was 'Win a cup by winning every round on penalties.' It's grand to have the odd few 'bonus' challenges, but I think they should mostly be skill based.

    I think we should start the Challenges League, along with a Network Game after Christmas, as there will be a lot of people getting Football Manager then. (Me! :pac:)Until then, we could sort out all the logistics, spruce up the forum, and attract more people to the forum.

    Im my game, Benitez took a new job in January 2011............ at Liverpool :eek:

    Also, I tried to sign Wiltshire for months with no joy, offered big money left right and centre! No dice.

    Then a few weeks later, Arsenal offer him to me for €5.5m........ very strange! I snapped him up!

    Wenger went to Milan last season in my game and Arsenal seemed to have changed their transfer policy, with the likes of Ramsey (still monitoring him despite signing a new deal), Gibbs, Djourou, Diaby, Traore, Lansbury left rotting the reserves.

    Wilshere missed the u19 international tournament squad and went on the transfer list soon after. I snapped him up before he changed his mind. He's now playing in the Olympics for England which is strange. Is he making the u23 squad just because he signed for me?

    I have the last 3 versions of FM through steam and had no problems running the game.

    You running firewalls/peerblock?

    Is your graphics driver up to date/is your graphics card able for the game?

    What OS are you running?

    I'm guessing that you only have steam for FM, more info you can give me, the more I can help out

    So the game is running but nothings coming up?

    Open task manager (ctrl+alt+delete), check is it running if so double click it from that. If nothing still I would reinstall it.

    Those notebooks have poor processors and ram for a game like FM. They are suited to internet browsing and no more imo. FM is a hard game on hardware if you want your game to be detailed. How much are you willing to spend on a laptop?

    ah sure i will pick something up on dell here in OZ prob spend about $700 if needed! was thinking about getting a laptop anyway because play a bit of poker online and the notebook is pretty basic for it!

    If you felt it was basic for poker, god knows how you thought FM would run!

    Without researching this

    You'll probably have to buy Windows 7(Good thing)

    Look for a Intel CPU - Core 2 Duo or even better the Core i3 or i5
    RAM - Minimum 2Gb, ideally 4Gb
    GFX - 256Mb Integrated or preferably a dedicated GFX chip

    Those are the main things for FM imo

    Thats a rough guide, before you buy, post back, there is plenty of peeps that will make sure you are getting the best value for your money. Do not not listen to the idiot in the shop!

    At the moment I dont recommend Dell because ever since the limerick plant went bust, the quality control to Ireland has been muck. Several people have come to me with things that can only be described as faulty during manufacture. That is probably different where you are.

    Thursday, got a call from a friend about laptops. I was put on the spot and given vague specs. She asked about Celerons, i told her avoid like the plague (not doubt the prices looked good). But she was looking at an AMD despite my recommendation to get an Intel. She tells me that its for her parents and its a good price. I hear some good spec but not clear on the actual CPU. She asks the shop assistant then says to me "Z series", I ask her to repeat what he said to her, yep z series was this experts response....

    She was kinda dead set on this laptop before she rang me, so basically all she wanted to know that it would do what was expected of it. But "Z series", I nearly wanted to drive to limerick to quiz this jackass!

    /rant :pac:

    Is there any chance you could get a laptop, even one of those tiny laptops, with all those specs for €400 max?

    Did a quick google of SI forums
    Usually caused by having special characters in your windows user name - try making a new profile and see if it will install from there

    Try following that advice

    However i got an agent offering a brazilian striker called Cristiano and when i saw his stats i thought i had to sign him. I got him for 6k off a Maltese team and he was unbelievable all season. His goals were valuable this season and he played a big part in our success this season.

    Cristiano

    Just signed this geezer with Pats. I've two Brazilian strikers now, Nei and Cristiano. Epic. :D

    Been managing AFC Telford for the past two-and-a-quarter seasons. Concurrent promotions from BSN and BSP have put me in League 2. With 10 games onto the season I'm 5th, having promised the board I'd avoid relegation. Currently beating Bournermouth 3-0 at home.

    Kind of waiting for a Championship-level job to come in...can't pay coaches more than £350 a week, just gone professional...
