Football Manager 2010

[Graz]

Ugh, so much for me getting more money in my 2nd season.

Even if I tell them I'll win the league they'll only give me £1.2m transfer budget! I think Spurs are screwed because of debts... a couple of weeks into the game it said loan repayments would begin, and I've been losing money each month since

Might quit and start again now with Leicester. Annoyed

 

[drummindefender]

well im still waiting for it to install. doing some ****ing updates which are taking forever (i started installing it half hour ago now...)

 

[Lako42]

I've now downloaded this and I'm about to start as my most local team - Friar Lane & Epworth, just a few hundred yards up the road. Should be interesting. They have all made up players on the game apart from one who is my mate.

This is the part of the game that will probably see me buying it, Im having a cracking game with Blyth at the moment though so I don't just want to quit.

Are Coalville on it?

 

[Tamworth Fox]

Oh i'm now addicted to it. I'm the Tamworth manager and signed about 15 players, I know how it feels to be like Martin Allen; signing 15 players i've never heard off, spending over my budget and left with high wage contracts.

I've won 2 out of 8 league games, I've chopped and changed my team but can't find that winning formula. That said: the players seem to be supportive and I just hope I get enough time to try and change the fortunes of the club. If not i'll have to think of changing my career, possibly look at coaching/managing a rugby team.

Up the Lambs

 

[Graz]

I've signed up a load of free agents for Leicester, pretty good ones too that I think will give me a good chance at promotion.

Signed Edgar Davids, and then in the "Staff Meeting" a couple of days later, my coaches told me that they think Davids and Howard are earning salaries higher than their ability deserves. Oops.

And I accidentally signed 2 keepers (Walker and Viera), when I only needed one... both good, but unnecessary.... especially since I can't sell Weale.

So I've signed:
Sebastian Viera
Ian Walker
Edgar Davids
Dejan Stefanovic
Bolo Zenden
Michael Ball
Hamed Namouchi

All on frees Trying to get Henri Camara too, but there's no space on the wage bill... need to offload a couple first. Already sent McGivern and Waghorn back to their clubs, and released Clemence.

Debating whether to get rid of DJ, as he's on £16k... but he has pace... which I think will be useful.

Are Coalville on it?

Yep they are, like I said the players are pretty much all made up though.
Other local teams include - Oadby, Kirby Muxloe, Hinckley Downes, St Andrews, Quorn, Loughborough Dynamo, Shepshed, Barwell, Loughborough University, Anstey Nomads, Ibstock, Ellistown, Bardon Hill, Heather St Johns.

Not a completely true representation of non-league football but as good as I think you'll get!

Viera and Ball are cracking signings, I tried for both of them but they went somewhere else. Get rid of DJ, high wages and he will suffer from personal problems.

I got Camara too now, so I think I probably will get rid of Deej... Camara's got pace.

And DJ, Fryatt, Gallagher, Camara, Howard and Kermogant is quite a lot of strikers for 2 spots.

 

[Hazzman]

4th after 11 games with just two loan signings in. :icon_lol: No need for these freebies. Use the loan market and don't pay a penny. McCarthy will be off soon but I've already found a replacement Matic from Chelsea whose coming back from injury.

I've found Hobbs to be poor. Morrison is ok with Tunchev at the back tho. Wellens is a super playmaker on it. Getting funds together hopefully for a January swoop for Jordan Rhodes....esp. if Dj ****s off.

Any suggestions for an affordable keeper?

Viera/Walker

Both frees, and not too pricey on wages. Might be gone by now though.

My squad is defintely too big though :icon_lol:

 

[Hazzman]

I don't want old men. I want some up and coming talent at this club.

 

[Graz]

Ahhh fair enough

I take more of a Micky Adams, Dad's Army type approach

Would've got loans, but couldn't really find anyone I felt was good enough. Turned out the freebies were better (and still had enough pace)


Oh, but Viera is only 27, so not old.

Alex smithies from Huddersfield is good.

I'm Leeds and I've just finished my first month, already 2 points clear. Won 4 and Drew 1 of my first 5 games.

Though I did get knocked out by Carlisle in the League Cup on penalties.

Seconded. He was ace on FM09.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

What the **** are you playing at?

I always like to take an easy job to get into to the game, before getting up more of a challenge.

Leeds are basically the easiest job in England on FM, because they're so much better than any other team in their division, and they have the infra-structure and therefore potential resources to get back to the PL very easily.
