Or shall I try and make it £20m and see if they fall for it? If I do sell who should I get to replace him?

Swordsaman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Originally posted by xx11:Ok. I will do my old man update. This post is in relation to the Older Man Utd players that have retired, the aim of which is to show what they have gone on to do. Later following this I may try and give a career history of other players that have left the club at the early stages (ie fletcher etc) what skin are you using ? So lets make a start with the old club captain. Gary Neville Gary remained as part of the squad until the end of 2009/10 season, however he had only been making appearances in cup matches since 07/08 as he never managed to fight his way back in after injury. Player career history So Gary already begun to forge himself a long term career, but he appears to be rather... fickle... and not standing by his decisions. He started of coaching for me, and made a good defencive coach, Neville Staff Profile However he decided to go into management and left the club in 2014 to manage Newcastle. The chalice is still poisoned though and no doubt he regrets it. For in his first season in charge at Newcastle he saw them go into Administration, and to make matters worse the point deduction relegated them to the Championship. So what did Neville do? Stand by the club? Nope, the going was getting tough so he jumped ship straight into the lucrative job od Bayern Munich Manager. Unfortunately this is a league that I am not running, I forgot to select some I wanted (Ie scotland, france, germany ) so will not really know what is going to happen with his team. Neville staff achievement history And from this final screenshot you will note that he hasnt been the most successful of managers, he has only won roughly 26% of his matches Neville Staff History Next up is Edwin van der Sar Edwin remained as part of the squad until the end of the 08/09 season, VDS Player History and even though he remained a regular player he wisely choose to retire before he lost his status as a United great. He opted to remain at the club in the capacity of a Goalkeeping coach, a role he is suited for. Here he has remained, happy in just continuing in his work improving the up and coming youngsters. VDS staff profile Now for the tenacious ginger lad. Paul Scholes Well Scholesy ended his career in at the end of 08/09 season. He only had been playing a bit part due to the youngsters pushing through the side and decided to pass on his knowledge on the training ground. Scholes career history Since then he has been a coach, mainly focused on attacking training, however surprisingly he is a decent defence coach if needed him though with all his missed timed tackles I dont think it advised that he teaches people them skills! Scholes Staff Profile The list continues, this time it is the Welshman, Ryan Giggs Giggs still played quite a few games in his retirement season of 2008/09 but he just wasnt up to it anymore and he knew it, Giggs Career History as such he decided to retire from playing and join the coaching staff, and by the looks of things he will one day go on to become a manager. Be a shame to lose him from the staff but cant hold him back Giggs Profile They just keep coming, I guess I am just such a good manager players want to stay on my staff, it is the turn of Mr Rio Ferdinand Rio remained part of the squad until the 2012/13 season. He had spent time as the captain and the vice captain before finishing up, in his final season he participated in every final, all which were won. Great way to end his career. Rio Career History The lad is not a great coach yet, but he is still new to the job so there time for his improvement, he even can give a decent assessment of players which could come in handy. Be interesting to see how he develops, if he gets technically knowledgable he would make a decent assistant in future possibly. Rio Staff Profile We are almost there for the ex-pro's that are now on my staff. Its the turn of the French. Mikaël Silvestre The lad just didnt want to give up his playing career in his early 30's even though he wasnt getting a game. He finally retired after 2011/12 after 3 seasons of basically not playing a game. Silvestre Career history Now if this guy wasnt French then he would have a good chance of becoming the Assistant Manager, but for now he remains a strong Coach. Silvestre Profile Finally, a man disliked by many. A man that couldnt find a job when his football career ended, yes another French man. Even with all his bad points, I present Louis Saha Saha career under my management was short. He was sold off to Spurs early on where he saw out his days until he retired in 2012/13. He gained his coaching badges and yet remained unemployed until I picked him up in 2014. Saha Career history Saha employment history The lad is a strong coach, and since the profile picture has improved more. Surprise is fitness coaching. A man made from glass is a good choice to tell people what not to do! This is another French person who appears to have his eyes set on management eventually. Saha Profile Conclusions! Well what can I say, whatever you do, convince your players to become coaches as you will get some gems for your staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Lister Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 It's the summer of 2009 and I was just treading water until the first friendly of the new season. Then I got a very unexpected message. The Czech Republic FA have offered me a job to manage their national team. Shall I take it? MY Manchester United revolution is still underway so I'd manage both teams if I take the job. I half want to take the job just because they asked me to, out of the blue.

Evon Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 His composure is **** and he's nowhere near as good physically. Ronaldo is the best winger in the game. Anyway, I will won't go for Bale because he's just not good enough defensively. Nor is he really better than Baines attacking wise. He's just faster and better at set pieces. Probably has a marginally better PA but Baines is also probably cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCRONALDO Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Seeing as Man Utd had, shall we say, a petty amount of strikers, I've went on a spree of getting wonderkids for free, mostly strikers: Gabriel Torje Stancu The following I've been waiting for a work permit for a month or so :S and if anyone knows why please tell me haha: Ever Guzman Toto Tamuz The last one isn't a striker but is a must buy for all of you at 15 years of age i present......*drumroll*.....

Rydo L Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Just lost the league in my first season to chelsea on the last day. I'm till in the champs league final against Inter which is my only chance of some silverware. Is it just me or are Man Utd finances really bad, i had to sell a few players in the january transfer window to get some cash in the bank. I got £13.5m for O'Shea and £14m for Saha which i think is not bad. So my priorities for next season are to get a winger a striker and maybe another MC.

I can also get Behrami for £13.5m but not sure if he is better as a winger.Which one would you choose or would you go for someone else. Overpriced for both. If you want a right back, Richards is really not the way to go. He's hit attacking wise. Alves is better at both attacking and defending as a fullback. But £30m is steep. I got him for £16m.
