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

I need suggestions on who to manage. I can't seem to make it through a season before I get tired of a team and want to start over.

Why not start a save with lots of leagues loaded and do a journeyman save? That way when you get tired of a team you can just leave for another.

I'm having the same issues. Check this site for a host of quality downloadable leagues to enhance the experience and give you a new place to manage.

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

I started a new City save as my other one got corrupted. I did add Dzeko (done deal anyway) and started my save.

Ins:

David Alaba - my wife is Fillipino and he's quality
Javier Pastore - heard this guy is good, but have never tried him myself
my usual British youngsters
Thiago Alves in January

Outs:

Santa Cruz (loan)
Adebayor (loan)
Bridge (loan)

Hit April in first season with QPR.

Screwed the pooch in the summer window, made up for it by buying this great, young Finnish keeper.

Had a scoreless draw vs Ipswich. Reading and Leicester City won.

Go to the final game in 3rd.

After the first half the score was 0-0, Leicester was up at the half and Reading/Ipswich were tied. At this point City were going up.

Then I switched from 4-4-2 to my 4-3-3.

The 80th minute score by Tommy Smith gave us the win, combine with Ipswich getting an own goal to defeat Reading, lead to this,

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

Great work Mo. What an exciting way to end the league! GL staying up.

I'm coming up to the end of my 5th season at Liverpool. This one has been lost to the injury bug and a bit of a transistion as I'm working in my replacements for the aging stars. Finally lost in the FA Cup after 29 straight unbeaten matches (extra time of a 4th round replay against Villa). Lost in the first knockout round of the CL to Atletico Md. Lost in the final of the Carling Cup to Man City. Ironically, I played my B team until the final (since it was my last chance at a trophy) and that's when we finally lost...

We're sitting comfortably in 4th with a realistic chance at 2nd (3rd and 4th place 4 points ahead of me) with 7 matches left.

At least we won the Community Sheild!

International:

Still with Uruguay. I'm sticking through the Copa America and will be trying to latch on with a European power that falters in the Euros for the WC qualis. If I can't get one of those jobs, I'll take a break from International for a while.

Alright fellas, this is on amazon for 20 bucks...worth it??

EDIT: Being a college student, I have a free year of Amazon Prime, and this is eligible for free 2 day shipping. Very enticing offer. Only issue is it might slow my computer up.

Depends on your specs. It isn't graphically intensive, but it can get processor heavy if you load a ton of leagues.

I ordered it. I'll worry about my computer later.

I would have done the direct download, but reading after user reviews I just decided to order it.

EDIT: After looking over the wikipedia page, there is a ****load of leagues. Are there any in particular that aren't included besides the J'League that I should download?
