***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well, after 1.5 years with West Brom I got a big surprise job offer from Juve. Which I took. They haven't won the league in six years. And they haven't qualified for the CL the last two seasons. They are also 112M in the red. Club needs major changes top to bottom. Over paying and spending on wages. 223K a week over wages and spending 3.93M a week. 36 year old backups on 200K a week. Going to be impossible to offload them. And I only have 17M in funds to play with. And no promising youth prospects to call up.



Gonna be a big challenge. Even more so than West Brom.

This guy...THIS GUY, puts in the worst defensive performance of the season, a 5.2!!?? Not acceptable, especially for someone who is first team quality at LB.


So I have a little chat, letting him know this is unacceptable(he's lucky I didn't fine him immediately). Look at this punk's response, just sitting there with that stupid smile on his face the whole time.


"I played well." In what world is a 5.2 rating playing well? Can't wait for summer, good-bye, go "play well" somewhere else.

Oh and I fined him after this chat because I'm a vindictive manager who don't take no attitude from chumps like Philipp Max.

So I was browsing the Italy U21 squad for players to scout and found this:

Transfers

Tried to save money since my board said they’re looking for a place to build a new stadium

Question on league rep: I loaded up a few custom things (USA pyramid, Worldwide champions league) and a side effect of that is the the 7 USA tiers are ranked 101-107 in CONCACAF. That's fine, those leagues have no history and need to get some.

However, after 2.5 seasons, there's been no increase in reputation, and after the first season all of the USA 1 teams got the logos from their academies or second teams, as they ended up with a worse reputation (due to the low rep of these leagues).

Do you know how long it takes for a new league to up it's rep? Is the coefficient calculated over 5 years?

Also, an unfortunate side effect of my custom DB: Liga MX seems to have stopped playing games. First 2 seasons were fine, now those teams only play friendlies and champions league

No worries though, this is a blast. Getting ready to play Galatassaray (as Seattle) in FIFA Champions League. It'll be a tough one.

So its going to be one of these seasons, is it.
