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

So 12 games into the season, Halifax new board still being dicks. We are in 19th. Not doing good. Players upset, starting to get to a point where they are going to ask to leave. In the red, board not injecting money. And then out of the blue Sunderland offer me an interview.

They are in League 1 also. And are in 24th. But only 4 points behind us. So I take it. The board gets really pissy about this. But don't offer a new contract? Okay. Sunderland then offers me the job, pretty much giving me free reign with staff changes. But non of my guys want to go with me, so **** 'em. I'm out. Stupid new board. Ruined my great team. The players get really upset I am leaving, moral tanks.

I've played three games with Sunderland. Won all three. Up into 12th. Halifax has lost all three, down into 24th. I feel for the club. But I am now on to new and better things... wtf is this, Sunderland is about to go through a take over. **** you FM, **** you.

Got 18 points in my last 8 games and ended the season with 34. Clermont finished with 30.

Can't wait to do this again next year.

Tactical stuff:

Spoiler

My old tactics are kinda....bad. Chances every 34 minute chances against every 27 minutes, lol. I tried to play a high line, high pressure and didn't work well. We created a lot of chances, but also allowed many goals


So much better, had 5 clean sheets with this. Played deep and counter attacked, worked out perfectly.

Boro on the way to the Capital One Cup Final!

Leg 1 was great as United played my tempo of game and paid although conceding 2 wasn't good at all:



Leg 2 was me parking the bus and thanking Agazzi for bailing me out numerous times:

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

The news just keeps getting better. Remember how Martin Odegaard was too proud to join Boro? Well after Real extended him, they listed him for loan and I was too happy to oblige. This time the little prince signed for me. Perseverance pays:

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

Yes! The take over fell through, days before the transfer window opened. I was worried it would drag on and I would be blocked from making any moves in January.

Real had 20 year old Odegaard on the transfer list at the beginning of this season, so I snapped him up for a pretty reasonable price.

He is BEASTING for me right now. He's broken his way into the first team as a regular, and has 8 goals in 11 appearances so far. He seems to be quite the player.

PSG have literally bought most of my team over the years, they've spent an astounding £255.25m on players. Highlights are Lucas Leiva for £15m, Serge Aurier for £40m, Hugo Lloris for £17.5m, Niklas Stark for £45m.

Thanks PSG for the money!!

Damn, that's a lot of coin Suntan!!!

You never like to beat your favorite teams, but this one felt really good:



I went from expecting a replay at the Emirates to jumping off my chair!

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

That sick feeling when you counter an offer, which you feel might be a little too high. And they gladly accept. No, let me, that isn't what, let me counter again!

Strasbourg Year Four Update:

Edit: And now my wonderkid striker Romero says he won't sign a new deal because my squad isn't strong enough to match his ambitions. So I transfer list him (because I don't want to lose him for free), and he gets PISSED. So I apologize, remove him from the transfer list, and offer him a new deal. Except he refuses to negotiate because, you guessed it, he doesn't feel my squad is strong enough to match his ambitions. So back on the transfer list he goes. Except now he's pissed again and feels I'm forcing him out of the club. ARGH!

Romero inexplicably reversed course and decided he wanted a new contract. I'm doing a happy dance, as he's turning into a beast. I just wish the rest of my squad were even semi-beastly. But I won't let that ruin my happy dance.

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

What is wrong with this games transfer logic?

A player has a value of 800k. They have 18 months on a contract. The player is surplus. They aren't using him, and are shopping him around on loan. Not getting any hits. I make an offer to buy for 900k. They com back and counter with 17M. WTF.

I get an offer for a player in a similar circumstance, and I get offers like 200k with half of it in payments. Than I come back with 1m, and they instant walk away. Its complete bull****.

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

He's probably a youth for the future, or someone they want to keep.

This game has the most legitimate transfer system in any video game, ever. If you're used to FIFA... got some bad news for you.

Also, if they counter with 17M (and he's not transfer listed) they'll normally sell between 11-15M
