      Just beat PSG for 2nd time this year, 4 points behind with 7 to play. I finished 4th in my CL group so I don't have any European Competition

        We did it, took me 26 years but we did it.



        Next goal is to get out of group stages in CL, haven't done that once.

          I hate the early qualifying rounds in champions league...especially when you draw a Scandinavian team that's in midseason form and we just started preseason training.

            As someone who regularly plays as Scandinavian teams, I love it.

            It's been a wonderful start to my 13th year, our first in the Champion's League(we finished with the same amount of points that got us 8th last year, and wound up in 4th)

              I just signed my new deal to keep me around at Whitehawk til 2031. I was fairly happy that after some negotiations I got my salary up to £20k/week. Then I went and looked around the league, the average Manager's salary in the Premier League in my save is £40k/week. I am the third lowest paid manager in the league, behind Sergiy Rebrov, who was just hired at £10k/week at Watford, and Paul Ashworth at recently promoted Leeds, who is slated for £17.5k/week.

              One day I'll be paid what I'm worth to the club.

              Edit: I don't want to triple post so...

              I'm not paid enough to deal with 18 year olds.

                Decided to start one more save, this time starting as unemployed with International experience and see who bites first.

                I'm now the head coach of New York Red Bulls.

                It's been a few FMs since I managed in MLS. This could be interesting. First step...fire all the staff. I want my own people.

                  With FM17 beta coming out soon and how I always get the new versions, I've decided to retire my save. Finally got the 3CB tactics to work so that was exciting.

                      After taking over Chelsea midway in the season of 2017, I've finally achieved what I set out to do. Win the league! Also ended up winning Champions League and FA Cup in the same year! To top it off in the most dominating way... toward the end of the run I was almost thinking am I going to have a magical ending to this or is FM going to pull the rug underneath me at the end. lol







                      After 3 FA Cups, 1 CapitalOne Cup, 1 Europa Cup, 1 Champions League Cup and with BPL championship, I have left Chelsea. Mostly because the new game is hitting soon and I feel satisfied leaving Chelsea in such a finish. But look who my replacement is...

                        I really feel like I made it as a manager when the board tells me the capital one cup isn't important.

                          Spurs above Arsenal?

                          Highly unrealistic.

                            Now I remember why I dislike MLS....all the roster rules.

                            Going into the playoffs without a couple players because I put them on the disabled list, but can't register them back onto the squad because we are passed the roster freeze date....sigh.

                            EDIT: Did do this though....just gotta gear up for the MLS Cup with two available center backs.

                              Yeah I'm not a fan of playing in MLS in FM. All the weird rules annoy me. I don't find it any fun.

                                Wasn't expecting much in the MLS Playoffs, thanks to my bungling of the roster, combined with injuries late in the season.

                                Got matched up with Montreal in the semifinals. First leg in Montreal saw us blitz them 3-1, then drew them 1-1 in the second leg at Red Bull Arena.

                                The Eastern Conference Finals would match us up with the team that was the bain of my existence....Toronto FC. Couldn't break them down and they took a 1-0 lead going into the second leg. In the 55th minute, we equalized and it went down down to penalties, with Robles saving the final penalty to give us the 5-4 advantage, our first win against Toronto, and on to the MLS Cup for a match up against the Portland Timbers.

                                And I'll just let the image tell the story....
