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

Those are displayed from what is in Graphics > Logos > Nations > Normal

Most logo packs have logos in that and flags in small. I think the only one with flags in both is the steal logos pack. But you can copy just that folder (normal) from that pack and put in your game folder above. Or copy the small folder and rename it normal from the one you are using.

I'm using the TCM pack from sortitoutsti.

I've made progress here, as the nation's flag shows as opposed to before when it was the crest.

Also made progress here, when I go to the squad page, it shows the flag.

I'm still not getting the nation flag here on the player profile. Perhaps it's just always been like this--and there's no way to change it? I could've sworn I've seen the nation flags here as opposed to crests.

Finished my 3rd year (2nd full season) at FK Třinec in the Czech 2nd division, and it was a great season. So great, in fact, that we're no longer in the Czech 2nd division! For the first time in Třinec's history, they'll be playing in the top flight of Czech football.



It may have helped that I had a striker on loan from Sparta Praha who was WAY above the class of the league. I run a 4-4-2, and together my 2 striker combo scored a ridiculous 60 goals. The 2nd highest scoring TEAM in the league this year scored 50 goals.




I ended up finishing 2nd in the table. After holding steady in the upper-mid table (which I was very happy with), we came out in the 2nd half of the season and went on a great run of form. The promotion playoff was barely even a contest, won that easily to clinch promotion.






Set club records for points and goals. I was also happy to see our defensive record improve. Last year we gave up 54 goals, only 42 this year. Also, best of all, we got a bunch of money from a new sponsorship (for being promoted, I assume), and we're actually in the black now, which means the club finally has money to send me on a coaching course! So I am studying for my National C License.

The club also announced that they are expanding our ground, as well. It currently seats 2,200 and they're adding 3,250 seats, so we'll be at roughly 5,500 for capacity. Attendance went up this year, but we still averaged just under 1,000 this season. So plenty of room for new fans, lol.

I'm unsure as of right now if I'm going to continue at Třinec or not. I have had a couple interviews with 2 Greek clubs, that would be interesting. But, it would be a fun challenge to see if I can keep Třinec up in the 1st division. Given the shaky financial situation, staying up in the top flight could be so crucial for them, so I'd like to be able to accomplish that.

Great 2nd year in La Liga, CL next year thanks to a goal in extra time and made it to a cup final this year before losing to Celta.



However, we'll be without the best player in club history as RM won't loan him to me again

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

This is what happens when your entire team is league 2 and VNL youth rejects at level 8.



And here is what happens when you take that team and add league 1 youth rejects in that off season at level 7.



Three promotions in three years. And finally in the VNS. The team I have is suited to be playing in the VNL. I've had to keep promising promotions just to hold on to these players as VNL teams keep making offers left and right. Also I'm over paying a handful of them.

This season will be the first real challenge. And I'm not sure we make the playoffs if I have to let some of these guys go for the clubs financial health. But its not worth going that far into debt just to have a fourth promotion in a row. Should be interesting. But now that I'm not so far down I should be able to actually get decent loans in, so it might not be as bad as I think. Maybe I can get some league 1 and league 2 U23/U18s players in who are just as good if not better.

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

So, the first player of my Golden Generation came through, with Necdet Ozbek replacing the departing Mike Bromer up top at the ripe age of 16 years and 332 days. Scored 3 goals in 6 games before my chairman sold him under my nose to Bayern, at least he got a sell-on clause. I never even had the chance to protest the transfer.

I'd expect nothing less from someone who refused to pay a league fee causing his team to get demoted two extra divisions.

In fairness, I have a new chairman. I was hoping things would change, but it's a long ride up right now it would seem.

Hoping I somehow finish 3rd in this group



Liverpool won the league, while PSG and Inter were runner-ups in their respective leagues.

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

nvm, I'm gonna aim for 1st



Minor thing I like about this game, GK regens that have passing attribute higher than 1. In the past it was always 1~2 so you couldn't get a decent sweeper keeper.

Edit: nvm, the dream is dead

That game time temperature, nice.

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

Well, even after releasing three highly over paid players, and selling two others for ~40K in total (mostly addons) to teams in league 2. Then signing 5 loans from championship sides U23's, we ended up doing it again.




We've now had to do back to back stand upgrades to comply with league rules about seating. So for the second season in a row we will be playing in someone elses stadium. Also we just got hit with a take over talks. I hope its a good one, because we need someone to pump money into the club. We aren't doing well financially. The price of having amazing seasons. Which is all my fault.
