Here we have an annoying fact 1: I'm already paying their wages but if I want to sign them permanently I have to pay their wages again. Anyway, that didn't annoy me that much. I offered them their wages and they accepted. What happened then killed me.

I accepted the deal but a text popped. The "You will go over maximum capacity" text. Let's see. I have 40 players plus two Bosman's coming which is a total of the maximum 42. Those 40 players include the players that are on loan at the club. Why the fu*k can't I sign them permanently if they are already in the team?!?! It's not like they will multiply when I sign them so WHAT IS THE F*CKING PROBLEM THEN??? I WILL LOSE THREE STARTING PLAYERS BECAUSE OF THIS MINDLESS SH*T! FIX YOUR GAME, EA!

Also, I can't release any players. Rant over.

That really really sucks. A major mess up from EA on that one. Sorry mate.

What a brutal month. Still, you aren't far out of the playoff spots so you should be fine. Looked like some injuries played a part in the results this month as well, but luckily none were out for any major length of time.

Also, good win against Chile, and it looked like a good match against Brazil as well with you even having the lead 1-0 to start the game. I'd be surprised if you didn't qualify.

Yeah it was tough, some of it was I think down to me adjusting to Legendary after stepping up from World Class. I'm playing with the default sliders now too.

I was super pissed at the end of the Brazil game! ****ing Willian. It was like the last kick of the game aswell. Though a win against Chile pleased me. I should win against Venezuela (This time rabbit!

) and if I can get a draw with Argentina I would be happy.

April

Yeovil Town 1 - Exeter City 2
YEO - Berrett 15'
EXE - Wilson 3', Ginnelly 73'

McKenzie laid the ball off for Wilson to score the opening goal of the match that went off the keeper's hands and in. Yeovil evened it up with a great strike from Berrett that curved around the keeper. Wilson played the ball up for Ginnelly to run onto and beat the keeper for the game winner.

S****horpe United 1 - Exeter City 2
SCU - Canavan 90'
EXE - Wilson 43', Burgess 61'

Grimes set up to take the corner and sent it into the box. Wilson rose up and headed the ball back to the top left corner with the keeper diving to no avail. MacDonald then played Wilson through on goal and he drew every towards himself before laying it off left to Burgess to knock into the net. Just as the game was wrapping up Canavan beat the defense as a cross went up and got his head to it to finish past the keeper and avoid the clean sheet.

Colchester 1 - Exeter City 1
COL - Eastmond 28'
EXE - MacDonald 83'

Eastmond chested down a cross inside the box and then powered his right foot through the ball and into the net. Late in the game Exeter won a corner and Williams set up and sent it in for MacDonald to rise up and head it off the crossbar and in to equalize and earn a point for Exeter.

Exeter City 2 - Peterborough 1
EXE - McKenzie 65', van Nieff 90'
PET - Ferdinand 20'

Peterborough struck first after Ferdinand managed to stay just barely onside on a cross and volleyed it into the net for the easy goal from up close. It wasn't until the second half that Exeter found and answer when Luke McClure dribbled the ball in the middle of the box and laid it off to McKenzie cutting towards the right side of the goal who finished it calmly to equalize. With time running out MacDonald attacked from the right wing before laying it off to McKenzie on a run who then played it one more pass to van Nieff to finish past the keeper and earn the win, and secure the league title for Exeter City!

Exeter City 1 - Blackpool 0
EXE - Cummins 75'

In their last home match of the season, Exeter sent their supporters out with a win having already secured the league title. The lineup consisted of young players and reserves, but they ended up with the deciding play when McClure laid a ball off to Cummins up the middle to finish back to the right side of the goal.

MK Dons 0 - Exeter City 3
EXE - McKenzie 31', McClure 45', Wilson 73'
You're welcome Chico!

McKenzie cut the ball to his left and fired a shot from the center of the box into the left side of the goal to open it up. McClure then dribbled through the defense and went in 1 on 1 with the keeper to score his first senior goal of his career. Wilson scored his 39th league goal after receiving the ball, turning right, and cutting it back left to beat the keeper. The last 17 minutes were spent trying to get him his 40th league goal of the season, but there wasn't enough time left to get it done.

Youth Academy

Carl Little (Northern Ireland) 16 years old 56-60 OVR 74-80 POT.
- Carl Little has stepped up for the youth team playing as a center back. The 16 year old hit his growth spurt that the youth doctors were expecting and now stands at 6'1" giving him a bright future in the center of the defense.

Jay Holmes (England) 15 years old 64-78 OVR 80-94 POT.
-Jay Holmes has the look of something special. His technical abilities are far beyond his age and enable him to be extremely effective in the CAM role of the midfield. He is no doubt one to keep an eye on moving forward.

Josh Meenan (Northern Ireland) 15 years old 58-62 OVR 72-78 POT.
- The young boy from Northern Ireland has natural talents at keeper, but his future will be determined on how much he grows over the coming years since he is standing only 5'7" at the moment. If he hits a growth spurt as expected, his future seems bright.

Exeter City Player of the Year

James Wilson

There was no doubt that the best player for the club this season was none other than James Wilson. With 39 league goals and 47 overall in 52 appearances, he has been as close to unstoppable as anyone could be. And if that wasn't enough he also contributed 11 assists in all competitions. Another step up in competition next year will give him a new set of challenges. The club will no doubt be looking to him next year to lead by example.

Tex Bumosix To Manage Northern Ireland

Tex Bumosix has accepted the offer to manage the Northern Ireland National Team. His decision came just in time to position himself to take the reigns heading into the European Championships. He will be facing a group of Greece, Norway, and the always powerful Spain. Bumosix's extensive scouting of Northern Irish youth players may have been what drew the FA's interest, but his recent success with Exeter has been turning heads as well. The timing works well with the season wrapping up so his focus won't be divided, but that will be something to watch moving forward into the next season.

Press Conference

Q: An outstanding season without a doubt. Your slow start culminated in a clear run to the top of the table and you finished clear by 11 points. What can you say about this season and what the player's have accomplished?

A: This season was special. We have now won the league 2 years in a row, as well as the J. Paint Trophy 2 years in a row. Winning 4 trophies in 2 years is nothing to joke about. There wasn't one single player that let us down this season, and we all performed at a level many didn't think we were capable of. We are looking forward to the new challenge of the Championship, and while we know it won't be easy, we feel that we belong without a doubt.

Q: Words can't describe the performances of James Wilson this season, how important has he been to this club, and where do you think you would be without his attacking abilities?

A: James at 20 years old is already turning into one of the best goal scorers you will see anywhere. His record speaks for itself. While we aren't in the highest leagues in the world, you don't score that many by accident. As we continue to climb everyone will see more and more how truly talented he is. He is a player worthy of the Premier League and I intend to get him there, with Exeter of course.

Q: In some international news, the word is that you have decided to throw your hat into the ring and accept the Northern Ireland job. What made you feel that you were ready to take on the additional challenge?

A: With the season winding down, I knew that I would get a couple months where I wouldn't have to divide my attention outside of transfer planning. We will be going to the Euros and once I get back I will be able to focus on Exeter again. I think the time in between will give be a good chance to plan out how to focus my time on each of my jobs without sacrificing anything for either of them. I embrace the challenge and plan to do everything I can to be successful in both.

It's great to see your career mode updates again, they were great ispiration when I was doing my Exeter City Career! (I might be a bit late with this comment but I havent been on for a while) It's nice to see you at the top of the table too!

Good luck with Northern Ireland!

Exeter City F.C

FIFA 15 – Season 1

The Grecians

League: SkyBet League 2
Home Stadium: St James Park
Founded: 10<sup>th</sup> September 1904
Rival Team/s: Plymouth Argyle / Torquay United / Yeovil Town

Exeter City Appoint Callum Bee as New Manager

Two weeks ago, Exeter City fans were left shocked after Paul Tisdale announced that he will no longer be the manager of the club. After a series of humiliating defeats, Tisdale resigned as manager saying that he needed to ‘find himself’ again. Despite all of this, he did choose his successor and that was Callum Bee. This was eventually accepted by the Exeter City Supporter’s Trust only a short while ago. They managed to seal a two year contract for his services in the process.

Only a month ago, Callum had been named one of the most promising, young managers by Brendan Rogers who had him as an assistant coach for a short amount of time. So there was no doubt that they had their eye on him.

The supporters of The Grecians have been expressing their anxiousness all over social media since it was officially announced just over half an hour ago. The opinions of the fans have been split fifty-fifty. Half are saying to give the inexperienced manager a chance and others are saying he won’t be to handle the more professional leagues due to never actually experiencing a managerial role in his life.

There is one thing to say for sure; Exeter City is taking a huge risk, the answer to whether it will work or not is only a matter of time.

Press Conference

Q: There have been a lot of Exeter City fans criticising your lack of experience. Do you believe that you can prove yourself to be one of Exeter City’s greatest managers despite of this?

A: I’m planning on it. Of course, plans can go wrong but I am going to work as hard as I can to prove those supporters otherwise. The fans criticising my experience is also not necessarily a bad thing; it means that the fans are still passionate about their team and that will show in the stadium. This will give the players a massive boost in morale knowing that the fans are behind them every time they walk out onto the pitch.

Q: Did you turn down any other offers from other clubs to come to Exeter?

A: Yes, I did. I had offers from Hartlepool and Burton Albion.

Q: So why did you join Exeter above these other clubs?

A: When I was watching the game against Plymouth in St James’ Park around a month ago, the fans where so supportive and the feel of the match was really special. The fans simply made it an occasion. It is a fan-owned club after all. The only other experience I had that was identical to that was when I went to see the Liverpool – Manchester United game at Anfield and bearing in mind, it is many more times bigger than Exeter’s St James’ Park. So to answer your question it was the fans and also the players, who managed to take it in their stride.

Q: What are your priorities now that you’re Exeter City’s manager?

A: I still have a lot of evaluating to do. I like to keep the reports on my players in as much detail as possible and I will also have to assess how they work as an overall unit. Then I will focus on formation, first team selection and tactics. In a different aspect, my main priority is keeping the fans happy.

Q: Do you already have any players in mind for when the transfer window opens?

A: I was planning on becoming a manager for quite a while now and this has given me the time to scout out on any players that I could potentially buy for my future job. Now that I am a manager, I will identify the weaknesses of my current squad and see if any of my scouted players fit the role.

Q: Would you be able to identify some of the players that you have scouted?

A: I’d like to keep it quiet for now.

Q: Why is that?

A: Because if I do, I might get more competition than I would like to have and I don’t want to overpay for players due to the fact that funds are so tight in these leagues.

I will have to stop the interview now. I have a lot of work to do and many decisions to make. So thank you for your time.

I’m open to any of your thoughts and feedback! Thanks for reading!

After pre-season match against Tigre

1860 Munich 3-2 Tigre
Rodri 27', 33'
Tomasov 44'
Rincon 64'
Acevedo 78'

A fairly unconvincing performance. We began the game well with Rodri grabbing two in a short space of time. Tomasov then made it 3-0 just before half-time. However the second half saw a real change in momentum with Tigre dominating us. Rincon hit the bar shortly after half-time before finally getting his goal in the 64th minute. Acevedo scored in the 78th to make it a nail-biting finish but in the end we held out. On the attacking front this was a good performance but defensively, we have a lot to work on.
Team Rating - 5/10, must be better defensively

Transfer News

After much "will he, won't he" drama, 1860 Munich have finally got their man with Niklas Stark, the young centre back, joining on a four year deal. The signing of the fomer FC Nürnberg and German u19 captain signing has really shown OJ's interntions early as he begins to build the foundations of a young squad capable of masses. OJ had this to say about the signing - "Niklas is an exciting young defender with vast amounts of potential. He is fast, strong and outstanding in the air and I am thoroughly looking forward to working with him.". OJ also said that Stark will not start the next pre-season game against IF Brommapojkarna as he needs to become used to the style of play and familiarize himself with his team mates. With this the first signing made by OJ, we can only expect more to come in the next few weeks of the transfer window.

IF Brommapojkarna 2-2 1860 Munich
Tomasov 24'
Weigl 43'
Bärkroth 76'
Sandberg-Magnusson 84'

Again defensive lapses in concentration cost us dearly. Tomasov grabbed us an early goal with a 25 yard belter. Weigl made it 2 shortly before half-time tapping in to finish off a lovely passing move. However, late on the second-half, an unmarked Nicklas Bärkroth tapped in a driven cross from far out on the right and after this, Sandberg-Magnusson capitalized on a weak clearance to equalize. Once again, a lackluster defensive performance let down what could have been a good win.
Team Rating - 3/10, shocking defense but also lack of any real hunger to win

Transfer News

Reinhold Yabo has become the second signing made by Mr. OJ and 1860 Munich with the young German joining for a cost of £800,000. The German midfielder, known for his physicality, has shown huge signs of promise for his club, Karlsruher SC and OJ can only hope this promise will turn into a considerable growth in ability for his club. When asked about why he joined the club Yabo had this to say - "I feel blessed that I am now a player at 1860. I feel very privledged to be a part of this club and I am looking forward to beginning my job at a new team. Of course, I have to say thank you to Karlsruher, the manager and the fans because without them I wouldn't be where I am now." With another young, promising signing made by OJ it is clear to see what he is trying to do with the club. But as Alan Hansen once said “You can't win anything with kids”. This season should be interesting.

1860 Munich 1-0 Al Nassr
Rodri 35'

A pretty unconvincing performance against a team we should be beating comfortably if we want to reach the lofty ambition set by the board. Possession was fairly equal, and between the two sides there were only 4 shots, the only shot on target falling to Rodri in the 35th minute, who finished in style after beating the two center backs. Other than that chance the match was a midfield battle with few chances created. This time our defense didn't let us down late but perhaps this was due to the really poor ability of the opposition.
Team Rating - 6 - Overall, fairly average, but we'll need to be better to finish high up in the league.

Transfer News

Yet another signing has been made by 1860 Munich. After the sale of attacking midfielder, Daniel Adlung, Mr. OJ has splashed out and signed attacker Alexander Esswein. Notorious for his speed, skill and agility, Esswein becomes the 3rd signing made by Mr. OJ this window. Esswein joins on a 4 year deal worth 25,000 a week. This week, we were unable to interview OJ but assistant manager Joe Mclaughlin, who OJ brought in this summer, had this to say about the signing - "Alex is an exciting young player with bags of potential. After the sale of Dan Adlung, we needed a brilliant attacking young player who can be the spark this team needs. OJ and I talked about possible options and we both agreed Alex was the best option. Sources from inside the club said that 1860 Munich also came close to signing another attacking midfielder, Marc Stendera and other sources suggest they are close to signing Barcelona B full back, Grimaldo.

Post pre-season press conference
Question - OJ, a fairly average pre-season. What are your thoughts?

OJ - Generally, I was fairly pleased with the boys' efforts. The first game I thought attack wise we were excellent; we had direction, cutting edge and finesse against decent opposition. Defensively, that game was a catastrophe; we were weak, slow of the mark and read the game poorly. The second game was a similar story, only we were made to pay for it. Of course a draw is never a bad result, but if we want to do well this season, we need to take 3 points from games like that, not settle with 1. The third game we played well. I was happy with the performance and the way the players have settled into the way I want them to play. Overall, I was happy.

Question - So far you have made three signings. Should we expect any more?

OJ - There may be another one on the cards. All I'll say is, watch this space.

Question - How do you feel your team can actually do this season?

OJ - Genuinely, I feel we have a good chance of gaining promition. We have made very good signings, have a good squad core and we have some great members of staff who will help these players develop. I am very excited about where time team is going and I feel very confident about this season.

Question - You have signed some very exciting players this window. Can you talk us through your signings?

OJ - Stark was a no brainer. He has vast amounts of potential, is a very professional player and already has a massive amount of ability. When I enquired into his availability and Nürnberg said they only wanted, I was over the moon and had to grab him. Reinhold was another obvious choice. He is young, strong, quick and technically sound so generally a very good option. He looks like he could become a great player and I am excited to help him develop. Alex is probably the most crucial signing we made this window. We needed an attacker after losing Daniel and after enquiring into his availabilty and hearing he wouldn't cost too much we offered and Augsburg accepted. From them it was a case of offering a suitable contract and welcoming him to the squad. He seems like he could be one of the best players in the league and I am very excited about having him in the squad. No further questions, thanks for your time.

Transfer News

Spanish full-back Grimaldo has become 1860's fourth signing of the window after agreeing a deal with them earlier today. The former Barcelona B player joined on a four year contract after Barcelona's failure to offer the talented Spaniard a suitable deal. At a press-conference a very pleased Mr. OJ had this to say about his newest player - "I am so excited to be able to work with this player. Having played full-back in my playing career I know what it takes to make it and Grimaldo has all the makings of a great full-back. He is quick, strong, has great fitness levels and whats more is outstanding technically. This may be a bold statement, but he could be the best defender in the world one day." OJ followed this signing by signing two free agents, Han Kook Young and Cedric Djeugoue. OJ then declared his side would do no further business and released an open letter to the clubs fans.

"Dear fans of 1860 Munich,
This summer window has been full of ups for this club. We have signed some great players, played well in pre-season and have done some invaluable work on the training ground. Myself, the players and the staff all feel hugely pleased with the way this window has gone and I, personally, can safely say that this season looks like it could be a good one. Of course we need to be lucky. Key players need to stay fit, results may need to go our way and one or two decisions also need to be in favor of our side, however in general I am very excited about this season and I feel this could be the season where people realize there are two teams in Munich. Be patient, be tolerant and even when results slip, please support the club as I know you will. I will sign this letter of with what has seemed to become a catchphrase of mine.
This club is going places, sit tight and enjoy the ride - it's going to be a good one.
Mr. OJ

Cruzerr named Coach of the Year; accepts coaching job of the Spanish national team

Coach Javier Cruzerr has been awarded the La Liga Coach of the Year award, as he had a successful season with Athletic Bilbao.

After Bilbao came second 2013-14 season in the league, coach Cruzerr was brought in to improve the team. While many were sceptical about his work and his knowledge of the game, Bilbao finished the season in second place, infront of Real Madrid and Barcelona, losing the titlerace closely to Atletico Madrid.

Coach Cruzerr felt very honored, yet is not convinced that his work is done. "We had a good season that, hopefully, we can build on. I don't think the season ended as we wanted in to end, so I believe we have a lot of loose ends to finish."

That was not the only announcement. The coach has also accepted the coaching job of the Spanish national team. Spain, who is currently first in the European Championship qualifiers, has now got a new coach with a new attitude. Cruzerr will make his coaching debut in the qualifier games against Austria and Switzerland.

Bilbao announces new kits for 2015-16 season!

While most people thought Bilbao would make their first changed involving the roster, they have changed their kits!

The first kit from left will be their home kit, which stays the same from last season.

The second kit, the middle one, will be their away kit, which they will use in the league. Last year this kit was their away kit in the Champions League.

The third kit, which is the newest and oldest one, will be their away kit, which they will use in the Champions League. The kits design is identical with the kit used in the year 1902!

Whether these kits will actually help the team out, is not certain. However, this could be the start of a new and improved look of Bilbao.

Oprah will take your questions for the next 3 days, and then will present them to the coach!

I have a few questions:

1) What are your ambitions for the upcoming season?
2) What areas of the pitch are you likely to strengthen in the transfer market?
3) How are you going to replace retired players Xavi and Xabi Alonso?

Press Conference

How did your last three months go in your opinion?

They were really good. We lost the exact amount of points we needed to get in a better position for the team. I don't want this team to play in the Champions League next season. The Europa League will be better for our level and for our players.

Shouldn't a manager be happy about his team challenging for Champions League spots?

No, he shouldn't if his team is Hellas Verona. Next question.

You drew a lot of games against smaller teams. Why weren't you able to beat them?

Because we didn't want to. We wanted and needed to lose points and that's what we did. As you saw we fielded a complete reserve team. If we wanted to win we wouldn't have done that.

I don't understand you.

You aren't meant to understand me. You're just a reporter. Now stop with this theme and ask something different.

Luca Toni has said that he will retire after this season. What will this mean for the squad and your tactics?

Losing Luca will be a really big loss to the whole team, not just the squad. Luckily we have been able to convince him to becoming an assistant coach but sadly we won't have him on the pitch then. He is an amazing player who shows excellent qualities at an old age. It's not easy to be in the lead for the Capocannoniere (Golden Boot in Italy) at the age of 37 but Luca shows that class doesn't get old. It might lose speed and agility but class is always class.

What will you do next season without him?

We will use the majority of our budget to bring in a similar player who can replace him. Sadly we won't get a lot money in the summer but we will have to work with what we get.

If you had the gold from Fort Knox who would you buy?

Fort Knox? Ha! It's for tourists (extra points for everyone who guesses the reference without Google). Just a rich man with lots and lots of money would be good but sadly for us there are no rich businessmen looking at the club. Anyway, I would probably buy a completely new team with stars.

Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

Still 4th! Juve seem to be pulling ahead now though. And Toni has still got the golden touch! What are the league positions for the Europa League in the Seria A?

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Northern Ireland update, beat Norway in the 2nd match of European Championship group stages, table is as follows:

1. Spain - 4 pts
2. Greece - 4 pts
3. Northern Ireland - 3 pts
4. Norway - 1 pts

Last match is against Spain, and with how the table is looking I might have to pull out a win to advance.

I'll post a full update on the group stages tonight after I play the Spain match.

Juve have been dominating the league. They have lost only one game in the season and they have a huge lead and I'm really happy about Toni doing so well.

The first two teams qualify for the Champions League group stage and the third one goes through a qualifying round. The fourth and fifth team qualify for the Europa League. The cup winner qualifies, too. If the cup is won by a team that has already qualified for a European competition the runner-up will get the last Europa League spot. If the runner-up is in the top five then the sixth team will get the final spot. So to make it simple, it goes like this:

Champions League: 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Europa League: 4th and 5th + cup winner/cup runner-up/6th

This means that right now I'm in the first Europa League spot which guarantees more money for me without making it too unrealistic because Verona shouldn't be playing in the Champions League.

By the way, I think I found a way to sign my loan players permanently. I think it should work if I terminate the loans of the other loanees who I won't be able to buy but first I will play through May.

Well depending on Goal Difference if you manage to draw and Norway can beat Greece things are looking good! You'll definitely need Greece to lose though to have any chance of progressing. Good Luck!

Greece should have a +1 differential and I should be at 0. I'm not sure what Spain is at.
