Jonzii Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Jonzii - Season 2011/12 Bosnia and Herzegovina After playing only 3 games I quickly came to the decision that taking this job probably wasn't the best idea, so after just 4 months in charge I decided to resign. This led to 4 months out of the games for me, brought to an end in the middle of February by My new job. Wasn't to sure about going back into International management again but Cameroon are a far better team than Bosnia. They are currently ranked 15th in the world and qualifying for WC 2014 should be straight forward, probably the most difficult team in my group will be Tunisia, the others being Kenya, Lesotho, Namibia and Zambia. Less than a month later and I was back into club management too. Darren ferguson left 10th place Championship club Peterborough to take over at Cardiff who were bottom of the league at the time which opened the door for me to take over at peterborough. Took over with 9 games left, 6 points off the playoffs. We lost our first game 2-0 at home to Birmingham, who were chasing a playoff place too, so I didn't hold up much hope of getting close to them. However, we went on to win 6 and draw one of our next 7 games leaving us sitting in 5th place going into the last game of the season, which was away to top of the table Wolves. If any of the two teams behind me, Birmingham or Southampton were to win then I would also have to win at Wolves which I couldn't really see happening. We were never in the game at Wolves and ended up losing 3-0, so it would all go down to what Birmingham and Southampton we doing. Unfortunately Southampton ran out comfortable 3-1 winners against 18th place Millwall leaving us bck in 7th, just one point off the playoff places. Oh well maybe next year.

Colorado Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Excellent thread guys. For me career games is the best way to play and most challenging. Up until the patch I had a career game with all North & South American leagues running and spend a good few years in the Uruguayan leagues but was unable to get one of the big clubs. Now I'm really going to go into the unknown. I'm going to try and run a game with all the Asian leagues going with an amateur reputation. I'll post who/where I am once I'm sorted!

Jonfun1980 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I am really sad about my first season at Eindhoven, I feel I owe it to myself and the club to stay for the second season and leave them in a better state. Anyone else had problems with thier old formations with 8.02. Even though I think not making my defence stronger was my main problem. Just don't understand how the board can be happy with me.

Jonzii Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nice work M0nk3yFac3 Jonfun1980, switching to 8.0.2 nearly killed my season when I was with Burgos, was conceding loads and was just so inconsistant.

M0nk3yFac3 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 i never downloaded the new update, couldnt be bothered but there seems to be a few people disliking the update. i just cant be bothered to donwload it until iv finished my on going career. Well, i literally just finished the season. And whats really wierd is, i only just noticed is that when i got promoted from the German Regional Division South, I went up to the German Second Division. This means that i missed out the German Third Division. Now what is wierd is, the fact that i never remember there being this extra league, and acording to the game there were not past winners in the third division in the 07/08 year, yet every other league there is. aw well, either way i missed out a league and jumped up to the second league after being promoted in the 07/08 year. Now where was I, o yea, 2nd season in and I came third, which is a promotion place. only 5 points from first, but 1 point from 4th! it went all the way down to the last game in which i won, 2v1, scoring in the 87th minute! Here i come german first division. Only problem is, im scared that im going to fail. and if i get through about 10 games and im bottem, il leave and find another club. hope that all made sence.

cookie15 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Having not had much time on FM recently, my update has been long awaited! I am currently managing the mighty Pars (Dunfermline) in sunny Scotland. This followed a pretty successful start to management in Eindhoven. There were only 7 games remaining of the season when i took charge and i managed to get them to respectable 5th position in the First Division. This season things have gone much better and at the midpoint of the season we are first by one point! I've bought in a few new players and a couple on loan. I've managed to attract Celtic as a parent club to boot I will post screenies over the weekend, certainly when my new recruits appear on Jan 1st. This should strengthen my defence still further!

iacovone Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Val di Sangro Update 3rd season completed. This was my 2nd with Val di Sangro and our first ever season in C1. We started well but then soon found inconsistency and slipped right down the table. A run of 14 games without a win confirmed we'd be battling to stay up. After the winter break we picked up our form and climbed out of the relegation playoff positions before heading on another poor run. With 3 games to go we needed to win them all to have a hope of avoiding the playoffs to go down...which we did! Amazingly our form came together and we stayed out of the relegation playoff positions by 1 point So not a bad first season, survival is the aim again next year and I'm also open to pastures new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonfun1980 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This is a really good thread and a great concept. I like Dafuge and Gondo ones, but I don't think I could stay at one club for that long. I am thinking due to a lack of regular players in this thread, starting a new one similar to this. But with some goals. So we can work out who is having the best career etc. They don't have to be winning things all the time. What do you guys think about a new thread? If so what ideas would you like to see?

elf_30 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My first update is a bad update, lol. After taking over at TIbro with only 9 games left, I tried to bring in some new players and the four I did were of no help as we promptly lost our first two games by a total of 11-1, so I was very disappointed and after the two losses, were helplessly stuck in dead last and was awaiting the axe. The season was going to be a wash, I decided to get out while I could and while there were still some outstanding apps in. I have waited almost 3 weeks and have a few offers but all of them are from teams in the same position as Tibro, dead last with no hope of getting out of relegation. I did get an offer from African Warriors and I did get them to agree to a week delay but most likely, I am going to take that post as their season has not started yet. A few other very interesting offers have been made but with seasons underway, not sure I could take them and do anything with them to keep them up or improve the positions with only partial seasons left. Will post screenies of my new post when it finally is accepted. Peace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what ideas would you like to see? Not a bad idea, I thought about doing it myself not too long ago. As for ideas: 1) I would create maybe 3/4 sets of guidline set-ups if you were to start a new thread. By this I mean what leagues to run and detail levels etc. Maybe cater for the FMers that have optimum pc's down to those with fairly basic so at least on some level anyone that likes the idea of a career game can take part and join in with the thread. 2)Possibly keep this like Dafuge and Gundo with regard to End of Season updates. They don't necessarily have to be in depth because obviously we'll be moving clubs a lot, but at least something on an annual basis to keep the other FMers interested in your career. Thats my 2 cents anyway. I'll be in the new thread if you start it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv not played FM since i quit, been slightly busy with work so when i get back on it, il inform you lot with who im with. probably be another low league club. i wont go to another german club, i want to go somewhere else like... erm... Russia or Israel. Just not germany again, or England yet. The plan i came up with when i started this was to make a good career, becoming a world class manager, winning the champions league, winning as many cups as possible with many clubs across the world (i loaded nearly every country and league, but not all of them) and then when i got bored of club management, take England to the world cup finals, and obviously winning it.

iacovone Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Quick Update Well season 3 has ended for Val di Sangro and we really pressed on. A poor start was countered by a change in tactics and we went on a great run that culminated in a 7th placed finish. We just fell away towards the end of the season and lost the race for a playoff position. I've stuck at Val di Sangro as I really believe we can get promotion this year - the season's started well and we're undefeated in 5 games . Come on...!

ToMexico!! Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Leagues loaded in full - Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Scotland. England Loaded to League 2, Sweden to First Div. and Brazil to Second Div. Started as Falkirk. Falkirk 07/08 Knowing Falkirk had established themselves as an SPL team, this season was about rooting themselves as a mid-to-upper tabled side. With limited funds both for wages and transfer, i was looking to make the most of what i already had and possibly strengthening in one or two key areas. Looking to take advantage of the reserve players available for transfer, i signed 4 back up players for around 50k, all capable of playing a number of positions. With Falkirk's somewhat low reputation in the SPL attracting many high profile players would be tough, all though signing Seyfo Soley and Vagner Leonardelli for free's would be good coup's. With the sale of Scott Arfield to Watford for 1.4m, i thought i could create a whole new team with that kind of money, until i noticed only 40% of the fee would be made available. With this money i made my most valuable signing; Daryl Murphy for 250k, around 1.75mil below his value. Final Transfers Looking to play attacking football i adopted my 4-2-3-1 formation from other saves, but soon changed to the familiar 4-4-2 formation. This proved a good move, making 6th spot our own, after a mid season rise to 3rd and fall to 8th. Final Table So a good start to the season, 2 places above the media prediction. 2nd Season update to follow within the next day or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
