rlipscombe Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 DennisIran - don't get too down hearted getting relegated. i always tend to get relegated from top division in 1st season but it always makes you stronger and when you get back there you will be better for it..... good luck next season.

DizzyIzzyB13 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Things I like about FM: Looking away from the screen in despair at going 1-0 down early on, only to be 4-1 up when I look back at the screen. Things I don't like about FM: Promptly conceding two goals when 4-1 up and spending the entire second half hyperventilating any time the opposition get the ball in my half. Things I like about FM: The moment the game is over and I've won 4-3 to secure a club record 12th competitive win in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm really lost atm. One game we beat Rangers 3-1 away from home. Then we go to Inverness and lose 2-0 without having a single shot on goal. I really have no idea what to do. It all seems completely random atm. :confused: At least we're no longer bottom of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Right. We've set a new record for 6 losses in a row. We're 17th (16th and below go down). Transfer window has come and my 6 agreed transfers are in. The 34 year old LM Tsaplin who I hoped would give us superb experience and ability has, on the 2nd August (Window opened 1 day before), been diagnosed with tendonitis and is out for 9 months .

iacovone Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 General fitness levels go down to around the 80% mark for 6/7 players, regularly pick up at least one injury a game and seem to get a lot of red cards.

Some players far too good for the level tbh. Got a few more coming in hopefully. Another CM, an ST and a LB. Need an RB and some wingers to be ready. Got another LM/ST in the shape of Luke Freeman who is ex-Arsenal I think. Hopefully they all sign. Also going to have to make some sales this time as I need the wage budget space.

ToMexico!! Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 2014/15 - Hallescher FC - German Second Division Transfers - 10 IN for 1.3m & 10 OUT for 250k A few big names in, Elmohamady the biggest, in for free from Polonia. Other big names included Damien Le Tallec and ageing left back Kleber. League - Promotion at last! We again played very well we had secured a play-off spot with 4 games to go and had been promoted with 2 games remaining. We ended top scorers in the league with 75 goals and finished 1 point behind league winners Bochum. Former first division side Augsburg were relegated. Squad List/Stats Top Scorer - Marko Obradovic, 15 Most Assists - Ahmed Elmohamedy, 16 Most MOM - Marko Obradovic, 6 Ave Rating - Marko Obradovic, 7.42 Other Notable Players - Emanual Aguirre & Damien Le Tallec Finances - Another big prize money windfall boosted the finances back up as throughout the season we lost money through high wages and not getting the attendances we deserve. I'm going to ask for a new stadium soonish and see what they say. The board however did grant my request to improve the training facilities as the youngsters we are getting through are pretty poor thus far.

rlipscombe Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 SC Louhans-Cuiseaux So after a little teasing i have decided to become the new manager of SC Louhans-Cuiseaux. Founded in 1970 after the unification of "Club Sportif Louhannais" (founded in 1916) and "Club de Cuiseaux" (founded in 1930), based in the villages of Louhans and Cuiseaux. The club plays at the Stade du Bram. The club are from the Bourgigne region of Eastern France, an area my uncle lived for many years before heading south a couple of years ago.... Also, the club badge is a bit quirky and i like the colours of red and yellow..... Really looking forward to playing in a country i like but have not really played in on FM for the last few years..... ALLEZ LES JAUNES ET ROUGES!

SnakeXe Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 SnakeXe's Messina - Season 5 - 2015/16 Story of the Season: Serie B - 12th All in all a very successful first season in Serie B! We only had a couple of really worrying runs, losing 3 in a row around 10 games in, and then again in the last 3 matches of the season. In between, we picked up most of the points against teams in and around us, with the odd upset against a far better team, and we were unbeaten (a win and a loss) against fierce rivals Reggina - can't really ask for much more. Looking at the table, we were at the tail end of the group of sides just outside the playoffs, which is an excellent position to push on from. I'm very confident we can push on next year with some smart signings - two of which I've set up already. The playoffs have to be the target, due to the fairly low standard to get into them, but I wouldn't expect us to win them. Also celebrated my 200th game in charge this year Coppa Italia - 3rd Qualifying Round Another win-loss record this year, but by virtue of joining the competition a round later, we record our best ever result under my management! Still rubbish though, haven't had a single proper cup run since the first season. Results 1 - Results 2 - Results 3 - Squad Transfers - Broke Even Moved a lot of players in and out for no money. Notable players were Unai, who wouldn't sign a new contract, and who scored twice against me in the league this season for new club Cosenza, and my management's most capped player, Licata, who was just out of his depth at this level. Best incoming transfer was probably Diego Farias, a right winger. 5 Most Important Players: 5. Luca Tedeschi - DC - Still our best defender, but only just. Nicolas and Kiko are the future though. 4. Enzo Scorza - ST - Contributed well until I got sick of his tantrums and went to a 1-striker formation, still did damage off the bench though. Supersub might be the best role for him. 3. Ruben - AML - Excellent prospect, scored some important goals too. 2. Diego Farias - AMRLC - Probably empirically our best ever player, could do with the ratings to support that though. 1. Francesc Alcalde - AMLC/ST - Last year's midseason signing was fantastic, scoring nearly a goal per game. Shame his injury problems and indiscipline limited his appearances.

We're not very far from the playoffs, and I think it'll be fairly easy to address the areas we need to improve in order to make them next year. I wouldn't want us to get promoted though, we're very far from a Serie A side right now. Forza Messina! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's a great position to be pushing from. Doesn't look like there's much between the 4 teams in the playoff either (this year). Good luck in Italy yababo! Nice long-shot from D'Eugenio LLR. Talking about (long)shots. Does anyone else find that their strikers (and other players) miss the goal entirely way to often from around the 16 yard box? I thought maybe it was just my crap players, but I've played a season with Man Utd as well now and I swear Rooney is missing the target 9/10 times from 16-20 yards.
