Raware Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I am just about to take charge of my 1000th game in football management which will put me on the prestigious list that only 17 other managers have managed in the past. I know a lot of people play long term games but this is the first time i've actually ever managed to reach this milestone . So, i was just wondering how many people have reached this landmark (not necessarily at one club) to join the list of greats below - Sir Alex Ferguson Harry Redknapp Neil Warnock Sir Bobby Robson Joe Royle Brian Horton Denis Smith Lennie Lawrence Dario Gradi Alan Buckley Dave Bassett Graham Taylor Jim Smith Brian Clough Sir Matt Busby Alec Stock Steve Coppell Raware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershie Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Wow! That is some record! Cheers. The other hundred are spread between 3 spells managing England, 1 spell managing Cyprus and a brief stint as Brazil boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff7197 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Played 651. Another 349 to go. Not sure I'll get them tbh, starting to suffer from some serious apathy towards my current save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 How do you play for that long? Dont you guys get bored after winning everything over and over again? Saying i've reached the 1000 game mark i haven't really won that much, well major trophies anyway. I've won everything in Northern Ireland, a couple of lower league titles and a cup in Scotland and a few lower league cups and the BSS title to the Coca-Cola League 1 title in England. So along way to go before i 'conquer the world'. If you struggle to play long term games i'd suggest starting from the bottom, that way it'll give you a bit more longevity for you to strive for the top. Carlo Mazzone Brilliant achievement mate, well done. Thanks mate Congrats yourself and deservedly added to the 1000th club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks mate Congrats yourself and deservedly added to the 1000th club Ah.....small misunderstanding LOL Carlo Mazzone is a real manager, not me. He managed for 38 years, inluding Fiorentina, Bologna, Roma and Napoli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Think I'm around the 800 games mark in my Villa save. I kinda got frustrated with that so started a new save a couple months back. I do want to get to the 1000th game before FM10 comes out so I may well go back to it sometime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ah.....small misunderstanding LOLCarlo Mazzone is a real manager, not me. He managed for 38 years, inluding Fiorentina, Bologna, Roma and Napoli. Just shows you my knowledge on Italian football! As much as i love watching Italian football, i rarely play the Italian leagues on FM...mainly due to the restrictions i.e. 1 foreign player a year only allowed to be signed, etc. You could've taken the credit for Mazzone's career and i'd be none the wiser!

Sel Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 a lot of the llm players would easily make 1000 games but they dont leave their area so you need to read some of their threads to get totals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i started in N.Ireland on my current save and after reading your thread about Knockbreda last year, i had a quick look at them in this years FM only to see they were unplayable. So, i'm wondering did you add them in via the editor or did you wait until they got promoted to the N.I. 2nd Div? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the second post in the Career Thread I've got about Paul Wallace Andrew Smylie is a far better player. As for getting them into the game, yeah, I had to holiday for a year and wait 'till they got promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
