***The Official Football Manager Thread***

We've (I've) done pretty crap in my first job. It was to be expected though I guess. 1-9-6 and sitting in last place. Which is 9th. No excuses. I've been ****. The players are ****. It is what it is.



Was just called to a meeting with the board. They demand 8 points in the next 5 games or I am gone. Like that is going to happen. Good thing my badge course ends this month so at least I improved a little while I was here.

And sacked. 4 points in 4 games.

Halfway through year 2 at Spurs, going very well so far.



Sitting second, behind City, but I've got the best offense and the best defense in the league, so I'm feeling good. Got my tactic rolling pretty well; really controlling the ball and locking it down on defense... Which is what I prefer as a manager. Would much rather win 1-0 than 5-4.

I bought Thomas Lemar from Monaco and Saido Berahino from West Brom over the summer. I'm loving my attacking midfield rotation. I have Dele, Pulisic, Eriksen, Lamela, and Lemar occupying my 3 AM spots. Some real quality there, and I'm able to rotate them all pretty fluidly. Berahino provides nice cover for Kane; it's nice to be able to get Kane a rest (Janssen just doesn't do it for me, probably going to sell him after this year)

Doing very well in the Champions League, as well. Tied with Barca and PSG for the most points in the group stage, winning my group which included Real Madrid.



Drew Shakhtar Donetsk for my opponent in the first knockout round. I'm confident against them.

I posted in here a while ago that Moyes has Sunderland rolling really well, they were top of the table after like 10 or 11 games. Check out their recent form, just TUMBLED down the table lol.

Man, I'm so impatient with my tactics. I think I make a change every other game or something.

I've comfortably sat in the top 3 all season, battled through a tone of inures to our star players which seen us drop to 6th and sneak into the playoffs, took on Swindon in the Semi's....now we face Millwall for promotion....this is it!...can we do it!!!

Finally this could be my chance at promotion with Peterborough United!

EDIT: PROMOTION!!!!!

Is there a good place to go to learn team's best, most used, etc. tactics?

Firing up with Orient, but really know hardly anything about their players, formations, etc. Was unsure if there was a good site with this sort of information so as to help get the ball rolling (no pun intended); before I begin implementing my own tactics of course.

How do you go get your coaching badges? Does the board just randomly offer you to go or is there an option I can initiate myself?

Go to Home and on the My Profile drop down is Start Coach Course. This opens a board meeting to ask to be sent on one. If the team is in the red, they will refuse so don't even bother asking. Otherwise you have a very high chance of them saying yes.

So I took a job in Slovakia with FC ViOn Zlate Moravce in the second division. We won the tile, but that wasn't from anything I did. They were in that position when I took over (manager left for better job). So coasting to it was easy. Problem was the team was in massive debt and about to go into admin. So we would be relegated the following season and I couldn't improve as a manager for a while. So I stepped down. Ended up getting offered the TNS job without applying and took it. Their manager left for Blackpool.

First game in charge was a 0-7 defeat to Copenhagen in the first leg of the champions league 2nd qualifying round. Off to a smashing start. But I'm already on a badge course.
