***The Official Football Manager Thread***

So after receiving the parachute payment from the premier league from being relegated, I have about 36 million in the bank. The board gave me about a 3.5 million dollar transfer budget, and wants a top half finish. The aforementioned takeover fell through.

Guess this one is going to be on the scouts to find some gems.

So I’ve got Sunderland sitting 5th in the championship, and the takeover has happened.

The new chairman goes pretty much goes, “Yeah you might want to update your resume.”

He wants to bring in Roberto Di Matteo.

SHAME!!!!!

In other news, I’m in a promotion playoff fight either Sunderland.

However, I’m linked with the West Ham job, and when the journos asked me about it, I didn’t deny the interest. Now I’m an evens favorite for the job. I’m not gonna apply, but if the offer the job I’m probably going to take it.

Only mildly related to FM but still a game by SI...
If you have any interest in hockey and still don't own Eastside Hockey Manager, now is the time to pick it up. It's 90% off(only $1.99!) for owners of FM 18 through March 26. If you don't own FM 18, it's 75%($4.99) off, so it's still a great deal.

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

Motorsport Manager is also on sale for $8.74. I really enjoy playing that from time to time. And FM18 is on sale for $25 if you haven't bought that yet also.

And it looks like if you don't own all three, you can get all three for $26.99. Which is a great deal.

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

So uh, yeah...



Maybe we can do still do this...

(we gave up a **** load of goals for a month and ****ed our GD. Key GK out injured and playing a youth GK. And both starting CB out, we lost some doosies like 7-3, 6-2, 5-0, 4-0, etc. Also completely destroyed morale and we never seemed to be able to recover from it. It was pretty bad.)

Son of a...



Table when fired:



I don't see any of your punk asses on this list:



14 years. 7 promotions. 5 league titles. 2 lower league cup wins. One relegation. And I get fired. Complete horse-crap.

The stats:



They expected to avoid a relegation battle. Which was a little much. I felt it should have bee to fight against relegation. But probably my fault for trying to give too much youth a chance and not bringing in championship experienced players. But to be fair we didn't have the funds to really do so. And the few players I did try to bring in wouldn't join because we were only a two star rep club.

I have no idea what to do now. I honestly never expected to get fired. The rise was too fast. I should have slowed it down and not tried to go up each division so fast. I don't know if I should load up the save from the start of the season and try again, or just move on to another save. I'm kind of pissed about this. But there are also other saves I wouldn't mind doing. Going to have to think about it.

I'd say load it up dude, nothing wrong with that. If it happens again maybe it's meant to be and you do another save. But I've done that before with loading it to try again when I've gotten attached to the team.

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

Well, this year the Europa League did not go as well for me.



Barely squeaked through the first round. Scored 2 stoppage time goals to advance on away goals. But then got a really tough draw with Bilbao. The first leg at home was crazy, traded goals to a 5-4 victory.

I got the tactics all wrong in the 2nd leg. I thought I could go in there and dictate the play, but they came out with a very offensive 3-4-3 formation, and completely overwhelmed me. After about a half hour I flipped to our counter formation, but the damage was done.

So, still got some Europa League money, but not nearly as much as last year when I made the Group Stage.

Hopefully we can use it as an opportunity, with less fixture congestion, to make a Cup run, or finish in the top 4, to get into the group stage directly.
