Your FM Honours

I have just been doing something incredibly nerdy, which I am almost ashamed to admit. :o However, I know that I am amongst like-minded souls here on the SI forums, so I will share.

I have just been tallying up my Football Manager honours since FM07. I couldn't go back any further than that because I can barely remember details of my saves from previous CMs and FMs, despite playing the series since CM2. Thus, FM07 has been my cut-off point. Also, I have only been tallying from my favourite major long-term saves from each series. This is because I really can't remember all of the short-term casual games I've played over the years, or the saves I simply ended up abandoning due to boredom or due to not being motivated to play them after reaching a certain point.

What I would like everyone to do, is to list their FM honours as far back as they can remember and then to analyse their FM managerial careers so far! Where has it all gone right? Where did it all go wrong? Etc.

This should not be a thread for boasting and any hapless and, shall we say, less successful managers will actually be much more welcome than any braggarts who want to talk about how they won everything ever with Manchester United for 100 seasons.

Anyway, I'm going to go first. My trophy haul is relatively modest, mostly likely due to the fact that I play with quite strict rules in mind and that I am happier in the lower leagues rather than on the world stage. I should also point out that I am only including saves which I have played long-term and seriously. I'm not including any short-term saves at all. The totals are just from my favourite long-term career games.

Well, the one thing that immediately stands out is that I didn't win a trophy on FM09. This is mainly due to a lack of interest in that incarnation of the game really, although I did have a good run with the Saints taking them to the Conference National. On the other hand, my most successful FM was FM08, and mostly because I played it a great deal and really enjoyed it.

So what do my FM honours tell me?

Well, I'm clearly a non-League specialist, with no less than six non-League titles under my belt and an FA Cup 3rd round tie achieved whilst in the Conference South (where I met Everton at Goodison Park). If you're a non-League side wanting to get into the Football League, then clearly I am your man.

However, it would seem that I have very little cup pedigree. I've only ever won two knock-out competitions and I have lost in numerous finals. Clearly the big occasions get to me. The other slightly depressing thing is that I am lacking trophies at the highest level, despite having managed in the top flights of England and Germany during my various FM careers. I think this is because I tend to get bored once I get towards the top. Strange as it may sound for some of you, my favourite part of the game is usually managing in the Conference South and Conference National. My desire to play can often run dry once I reach the promised land of the top flight!

My international management looks to have been reasonably successful on the surface. However, in reality, after each relatively successful period (England World Cup semis, Turkish World Cup quarters, Ghana African Nations winners) I have ended up falling at the next hurdle. For England, I went to the following European Championships and failed to get out of my group! For Turkey, I didn't even manage to qualify for the next European Championships! Finally, for Ghana, I resigned in embarrassment after an awful start to the following World Cup campaign.

So my targets for FM10 must be to win a trophy at the highest level and to be successful internationally. In reality though, it'll probably be more non-League exploits for me!

So tell us about your FM honours.

Regards,

C.

I don't keep my old games, so I'm a bit limited in what I can find, but these are the ones I can find easily:

Intense jealousy over here.

An embarrasment of riches, dafuge. Makes me wonder why I bother.

Sadly, I actually keep a word document with my FM achievements in it. If my partner ever found out...

My saving grace is that I only started this with FM09. God knows how large the file would be if I'd started back in the day of CM94...

My aim was to make Spurs the most successful team in English history. I have achieved this and after 23 seasons at the helm, I stood down and have taken the reigns at Napoli. Hopefully I can achieve similar success before moving on to Spain!!

Pretty decent haul there Suttface.

I've decided that I might have to do a journeyman gloryhunting save on FM10 in order to do some catching up.

To be honest, whilst I've loved it, taking my beloved Spurs to glory hasn't been taxing. I'm planning to start with a really low team on FM10 and build them up to glory. Lewes, Burgess Hill, Worthing are all local to me and likely candidates. Should be more of a challenge!

I do that every game with the mighty Saints! Although, I usually get a bit bored once I'm out of non-League.

I'll be doing that in FM10 too. Just going to wait for the second patch.

In the meantime, I think I've got some gloryhunting to do.

With a user name as quality as yours I can recommend the mighty Spurs!

This is all I can find right now, no point in typing up any others when this is probably the most success I've had without starting as a big club:

Champions league finalists on FM08 with Celtic is just about the only honour in my FM cereer that's particularly noteworthy, although I did achieve 9 domestic titles in a row and had a statue built in my honour also on FM08 but that was with Bayern and probably not really worthy of sharing a thread with the achievements of other posters in here.

Dafuge- I'm curious about your Dartford save, how did you keep yourself interested? I tend to lose interest after 3 or 4 consecutive trebles, once you're at the top it seems too easy to stay there.

I started to build a team around my own youth players, without signing anyone at all. I then tried to win a major tournament with them with England but failed, twice.

Bumped, yo

The closest I've ever come to a career game was on FM2007 with Woking:

07/08	Conference National	16th (took over in January)
08/09	Conference National	9th, FA Cup 1st round, FA Trophy 1st
09/10	Conference National	1st, FA Cup 4th, FA Trophy Final
10/11	League Two		10th, FA Cup 1st, League Cup 2nd, JPT South 1st
11/12	League Two		3rd, FA Cup 4th, League Cup 1st, JPT South Qtr
12/13	League One		15th, FA Cup 5th, League Cup 1st, JPT Final
13/14	League One		4th, FA Cup 5th, League Cup 1st, JPT South 1st
14/15	Championship		16th (21 games in), League Cup 2nd

The thing that I remember most is the crippling debt (luckily my chairman was loaded). My highest transfer spend for a season was £8,000!

I miss that game, but It'd feel weird going backwards. Any nutters willing to transfer the entire database into the new one?

Dafuge = incredible. To start at a club like Dartford and progress at the rate you did is unheard of. I'm very very impressed.
