Gilbster Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I so rarely play with a team that has more than around 10k transfer budget, that this whole challenge will be a bit of a change for me. Just loaded up the game, and trying to pick expectations and then will try and figure out, how to win matches. Really not used to having a transfer budget so dread to think what a mess I will make of Sunderland. If I do get sacked, am I allowed to retry until I actually complete a season?

And i wouldnt have finished in the top half if it werent for my loanies they were vital to my squad and keeping an eye on the budget 14 points with 18 games to go he could easily do me over. and he probs will but that obvious as he's a cheat Come on teh lad failed to complete a season at bolton and wont even holiday a season all seem abit off to me.

Gilbster Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Unsurprisingly, I have just been sacked with 7 games left in the season. After a 3-0 loss to Liverpool, where we went down to 9 men. Was in 16th place in the league. I will start this again either this evening or tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
