Of course he is. Unless he wants to be a bad parent.

Congrats, btw. Be prepared for a lot less FM. I don't think, "You get the baby, I'm in the middle of the Champions League Final!" will go over too well.

That's funny, when are the scum making a Champions League final?

More like "You get the baby, our rubbish keeper is about to gift a few goals to the other side & I just can't bear to miss it."

I congrats though, being a father is a great thing mate.

I don't think you want to compare our teams' relative chances of making the Champions League final, seeing as how your team isn't even in the Champions League.

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

Thanks guys for the kind words. Of course, my little man is going to be a Gooner and Barcelona fan....who else would he choose lol?

I'm prepared for a lot less FM, but I still intend to play when he's sleeping. I'm actually starting a Gooner save once I've completed my treble with Barca.

As for my Barca save, I'm a win against lowly Valladolid away from winning the club's second straight treble....will post screenies later on

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

Congrats Perceptor!

I haven't played much FM lately, school among other things has completely filled my life, no time at all for FM.

Anyway, I finished the season today. Final table:



I'm actually quite happy with our finish this year. Coming into this season, I had no idea what to expect, so I would have been content with the predicted 10th.


My goals for the offseason:
1. Don't mess with the core of the team -- I believe I have a winning formula here, don't wanna screw that up.

2. Get a better Physio -- Injuries killed me this year. Without them, this season could have ended differently. That doesn't bother me, but the prospect of it happening again does.

3. Bolster my midfield -- I had lots of midfield injuries this year, and at one point I had to play a striker in the midfield.


Besides that, I'm looking for promotion next season. I think we could do it, but that remains to be seen.

Also, I guess the board was remodeling our real stadium, because we went back there near the end of the season. I don't know why, not like we're selling out.

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

The board has decided to revert to being a semi-pro club, what exactly does that mean to me?

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

Well, due to the bug of transfers getting wiped out in the new patch, my Barca save has been put on hold until SI figures a way to fix it. I actually went ahead one game before I noticed the bug, so I hope I'm not completely screwed...

Anyhow, I will now start my long awaited Arsenal save My focus will still be signing British players, but I will be signing Lloris right away because he's ace

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

Started up a new game since of the patch. Decided to go with Inter and Millwall since I usual play as two teams at once. One team being a giant and another a smaller team. Inter's staff is huge their lists of scouts take up almost the full screen so I am getting rid of alot of them since there only 14 in either catagory and would rather have a small scouting staff with higher ratings.

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

I'm going with my 4-4-2 with my Arsenal squad and keep the squad mainly as is as I had more fun doing that than signing everyone. However, I will be signing British players to make the game a little more challenging although Lukaku will be one along with Lloris who I have no issues signing

It feels nice to play with Arsenal and I hope to lead them to a quadruple

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

I've gotten back on the FM train. Napoli was far too easy, so I've started with something completely different. I am currently managing Portugal's U-21 side. I'm not sure how dedicated I am to this save yet, but it could work out...

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

Arsenal update coming sooooooon......

Are the transfers still there?

[Perceptor]

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

Yup they were and I just finished my season still undefeated....I beat Real Madrid 4-3 to win the CL.

To avoid the transfer bug, instead of loading last game, go to load game and your transfers will still be there

Yaaay!!!!!! My Barca save lives. Starting My Arsenal save this weekend though
