Fishing around a little, it seems that the Gold badge simply lets you know they're going to be a good coach.

Thanks! It was a very exciting win

Oops, I just spoiled something from later, accidently saw the CL win, congrats!

I just started reading this dynasty as I finally got FM yesterday, so I'm still on the first season but wanted to say it's a good read so far and at some point I'll be all caught up!

Now I'm reading through and hoping at some point Celtic makes a splash in your game, it seems FM is my only hope of seeing that in the near future.

Sorry that you accidently saw the win. Hope you enjoy reading the rest of the dynasty

As far as Celtic, I haven't heard much from them. However, to be fair to them, they aren't in one of my main leagues that I'm simulating.

TonyR · 08-10-2005, 09:26 AM

Great season. I know you wanted to win all 4 competitions, but 2/4 isn't that bad.
Besides if you won all 4 you wouldn't have something to strive for next season!
