2 questions for you, Bruins.

1. Are those kits at the top the ones that you download and put in the game? They look a lot like them. If so, where did you get them?

2. What kind of a team fires it's coach when he is doing so well more than 2/3 of the way through the season? Or did he quit?

Anyway, looking forward to hearing more.

1. They're Catalogue Kits from FM Genesis.

2. Honestly, no idea what happened with their last manager. I think they might have been without one.

Bummer, that site appears to be down until the 23rd.

Yeah, they're making some upgrades I believe.

So anyway, I find out that I've got one senior CB on the books and he's injured. There's no one else who has anything more than a red dot at CB either. So I'm going to have to look for some players to bring in on loan or some free transfers.

...But the transfer window's closed. Here goes nothing, lol.

Ah, the beauty of lower league management.

Bruins, be prepared for the crazy rules in that division. Even if you finish 1st, you may not be promoted. And trust me, the next league is either a bitch or a pushover

Video is small but if you watch full screen you should be able to tell what is going on. I got a free kick near midfield on the far left and the taker actually scores. He was aiming for the striker running at the far post but missed for the better lol. We actually lost 4-1 but it was a friendly.

Right, if I finish first I enter a weighted playoff with the teams that finished first in the Central and South zones.

Definitely don't have the quality in the side now to even compete at the next level up, but I'd still like to go there.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Mangotsfield is making a final push for the league. 5 matches left and we're in 2nd. 3 points back. With a very favorable schedule against all bottom half teams, we have a great chance. A win in the next match will clinch a promotion playoff spot.

Will post screens after I'm done.

EDIT:
With one match left, we're 3 back without a chance to make up the tiebreaker. Will be playing the promotion playoff tomorrow.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

So Gabby is freaking RED HOT for me right now.

Red, freaking hot. Just look at his stats. I guess playing with Hugo Almeida has done wonders for him.

Still, hot. Speaking of Gabby Agbonlahor, he is my nemesis in all FIFA and FM games. He kills me every freaking time I play against him. I think it's time I just start buying the bastard.

He's worldclass in my game. He's the third most valuable player on the English national team, behind Welbeck and Rooney. Any incredibly fast striker with flair always seems to be able to perform in FM for me (case and point Febien Brandy who is an FM God when playing in the right formation).

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

What to do....what to do....

EDIT:

Took the job. I want to reach the top flight before FM 11 comes out, and in that regard, Dartford is nothing more than a launching platform. This is my chance.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well I'm going up.

The twelve games I was in charge:

Unbeaten.

Definitely going to need to strengthen quite a bit. I've got two centerbacks coming in July 1, and I'm looking for a DM also. Been playing a 4-2-3-1 with MCs (but can also be DMs), probably going to stick with that, or at least a single striker setup.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well, after being forced to piece a team together with loans and a couple free transfers, I've brought Mangotsfield up to the Zamaretto Premier League!

What a long season. It seemed early on that a replay in the FA's cups was guaranteed. I am going to be completely blowing up the team as my three poison contracts are gone. Time to bring in some new blood to see if we can compete in the next level up.

If I would have lost in the playoff final after 62 matches of playing, I might have destroyed my keyboard and/or monitor:
