[City Fan]

What occurs on the 1st?

Didn't play it yesterday, but on a previous FM I think you got a message from the board offering shit loads of money for transfers. Not sure if it is the same for this one.

Yeah, the board suddenly decided to offer you 500mil to spend on players and a new stadium

I am in my second season of Championship. Got a decent side, should finish top half/edge of the playoff. Got well beat by Carlisle on it though 2-0, they have a cracking side on it.

Team is
Larsen/Heaton

Eardley
Mattock
Tunch/Morrison
Kisnorbo

Gradel (whose dynamite on it)
Boyd/Adams
Weso/some French geezer I signed
B.Howard

Folan
Roberts

Just in pre season after my first season as Blyth manager. After winning the league despite being tipped for relegation a major building up of the squad is needed if we are to survive in the Blue Square Premier. So far we look a bit disjointed in the friendlies and the gelling needs to take place soon, I can see a bad start to the campaign at the moment.

I also had to rip out the core of my backroom staff, starting with Graham Fenton being released from his role as Assistant Manager and continuing with the addition of 3 more coaches to my one previous part timer.

We are looking at a record 400 season tickets being sold which will no doubt take the average home gate to over 1000 which would be just brilliant. A good run in the FA Cup would be good as that actually covered all costs last season having reached the 2nd round proper but crashing out to hartlepool having already beaten the likes of Barnet (Away) and Southport.

A list of new signings to follow later today.

Come on....come on, what's keeping him? Where are they?

 

[olip6]

Haha, i think im going to just hang my head in shame for the next 20 minutes and think about the awful decisions i made in pre-season...

 

[Matt_B]

As normal I completed one season and got bored so gave Leicester 500million and a 100million a year wage budget, whacked the reputation right up and romped through to the top of the prem and winning the champions league in 5 seasons.

I get bored very easily.

 

[Hazzman]

The Blyth Spartan support are still waiting....they are getting impatient.

I find it more boring when I get to the top personally!

As soon as I've won everything, I'm like what's the point in carrying on?

Like now I'm nearing the end of my first season with Liverpool... have won the League Cup, am 5 points clear in the league with 5 games to play, in the final of the FA Cup, and went out of the CL on away goals to Arsenal in the semis..

Probably can't be bothered doing a 2nd season with them.

I'm thinking of doing yet another Leicester game, because I've downloaded an update for the new season so we start in the Championship. How much do you think is a realistic budget for us to have for the coming season?

£100m should about do it.
For the record, my winning team/squad is:



Nicky Adams is brilliant, is averaging about 10/12 goals a season

 

[Graz]

Nice team, although that must've cost you more than a £100m?

Haha I never use Nicky Adams really.

I'm thinking of a realistic budget though! Loaded up the update and we only start with £300k!

 

[olip6]

how the hell can i give myself 100mill on the game? i am still having a piss-poor championship season....only won 2 games.....just pathetic
