You didnt need to fcuking help them!!!! :mad:

Mc Love

Had a great season with my squad of average age 23!

Won the EPL, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Championship, European Super Cup & Community Shield



Lost to Barcelona in the Semi final of the Champions League though

Doing the Pentagon Challenge at the moment. Got a job at the terrible Gangneung City. I took over halfway through the season and they were last. Managed to finish second last .

Next season free'd up the wages a lot and got in quite a few decent free players. Did suprisingly well and scraped 6th place qualifying for the playoffs. Got a very lucky win against Daejon and won the N-league and most importantly won promotion to the K-League.

We were terrible! It wasn't long before I was sick of it and took over the struggling Jeju who were second last, survived relegation and won the FA Cup (They were already in the final when I joined )

With no transfer funds whatsoever and wages 15k+ over the budget I was only able to sign free players, but my god were they amazing! Released/sold a lot of dead wood who were well overpaid and managed to bring in these three rising stars for free.





With a revamped squad we had a very positive season winning the league comfortably. My brazilian frontline (Buru and Robert) bagged 30+ goals each! Along with the league we did extremely well in the Champions League winning most of the games without too much effort

I was sad to have to leave the club after all the work but it was time to move to Orlando Pirates to bring home the South African Champions League!

After 5 seasons my aim was finally realised. I finally got Chester into the football league via the BSP play offs.

I'll put up some screen shots later

G.K.

Still soldiering away on FM09 here, frustrated that I lost 7-4 over 2 games to Barca with my Shakhtar side.

Still, I was playing Vladimir Weiss at RB, so I suppose I must have done alright.

Yesterday at the end of the 2015/16 season my dream of bringing Sunderland league glory came through, winning the league from City by 3 points along with a peno shootout win over Chelsea in the FA Cup but a heavy 3-0 loss to Lyon in the Europa League Final kind of ruined my treble....

Then Barcelona go and mess things up by offering me their job and 225 million to spend and now iv not played it since as i still dont know what to do :mad: the joys of the game

allanb49

In April 2013 with Pompey

We're in the PL, had a horrendous time for the first 6 months, in the Relegation zone

Not able to win anything, However since i won the league cup last season i'm in the Europa league, i topped the table with only 1 loss and 1 draw, got to the semi final of the league cup, and the 4th round of the fa cup,

I've hit a good bit of form in 16th position last night, No money for transfers, my top scorer is Ben-Haim,

I've also hit a bit of an injury crisis in the sense i've had to promote 2 15 year olds to left and right back,

Will post up pics later for your pleasure,

You save the game at the job offer. Then either play on as Sunderland or take up the new job.
Either way when you are bored, you can go back to your save and try it the other way!

Just watched chester get promoted to the BSN irl on monday with a 1-1 draw with Northwich.

In FM2012 I've just got the sweden job after working my way up as a sunday leaguer manager.
Started at Go ahead eagles in Holland. Left before end of season 1 taking over at Athlone town. Mid table div 1. Season 2 won div 1. Season 3 survived on last day of season in prem. season 4 finished 5th and then left for Ross County.

Have taken Ross County (with 0 transfer money in first 3 seasons) from survival on last day of season in div 1 to 7th in the SPL in 4 seasons and have just been given the Sweden job. (I've been Ireland u19, Ghana u23 and USA u21 manager)

I'm struggling with whether to move on from county now and look for another challenge. I have no money and can't compete with the big 2. I play llama rules so now scouring for wonderkids for me.

I'm thinking swedish league or try italy next. Anyone any leagues they would recommend?

fm-base.co.uk, I downloaded a good few kit/picture/competition/face packs!

louthguy25

Hey guys decided to stay with Sunderland but now iv a problem, Jack Wilshire is my main player but he has 12 months left of a contract and he wont settle for less than 350k a week and 7 million signing on fee and his agent wants 6 million the greedy feck. I can only offer 195k and 5 million signing and 4 for the hungry agent and thats after reducing my transfer budget to 0 and wages to max.... Any ideas?

Thanks, I went and got the German, English Premier League, Russian, Brazilian, Argentinian, Portuguese and more besides. I'd recommend also downloading the file that changes the competition names to their real names.

Just try negotiating with them, that seems like way too much for Wilshere, make him a key player in the contract negotiations and offer the best you can, reduce the signing on fee and add another clause that makes up for it.

That's what I expected when you said 6th at the start. Did they only start with three spots or something? Doubt something like that just slips through the cracks.

I'd say you were more than a little pissed when you seen you didnt get into the EL. I know I would.

Nice! Do you find that you initally lose a lot of games having so many new players?
Are you playing Nanglis, sanogo and cotton from the start?
I never develop them properly.

Cotton can be awkard, best as a BWM but is very primma donna and doesnt like to be trained!
