Red Owl Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 On FM09 I convinced Michael Owen to come out of International retirement (in about 2012). I then didn't choose him for my next squad, so he retired out of "embarrassment" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagine Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 In FM10, when I was managing England, I didn't pick him for a few games and he decided to retire. I asked him to reconsider and he came back to break the England appearance record (at Wc 2010 if I remember correctly), which was later broken by Rooney.

BenDPB Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 I love managing a country, everyone wants to win the WC and starting off as manager rather than waiting is the easier option and a hell of a lot quicker lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregt or smokey Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 ive always thought it would get a wee bit boring, what with only having a game every few months. but your right it would be a buzz to take scotland to the world cup. and i think it could be done in fm. but not in real life clearly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfgrigg Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm not sure it's that unrealistic. I could easily envisage a scenario where Gerrard retires from international football to dedicate himself to winning the league with Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar2000 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Dont think this is a bug as such but very unrealistic! Paul Scholes retired at 29. Hardly 'very unrealistic'.

The Lambs Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have the opposite, Stuart Pearce has been in charge since 2012 and Stevie G is still his captain at the age of 36 (35? I don't have my game loaded to check, it is Jan 2016). He still looks class to be fair and is keeping out my two Newcastle midfield super stars, although he doesn't play a full match for England these days. 138 caps I think, could be wrong as that might be Ashley Cole, but around that amount. I am U21 manager and like Brown was to Blair I am plotting the down fall of Pearce so I can take over, cue evil laugh and fade to black... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lambs Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I hope you've got a good solicitor after making remarks like that!!!! You do know that JT is also a member of this forum don't you? JT has signed up to star in a new TV show. It's called Other Footballers' Wives. Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding, he said: "l've just heard JT is parked outside my house!" England manager Fabio Capello phoned Wayne Bridge and said: "JT's lost the captain's armband. Can you do me a favour and have a good look under your bed for it?" It's a good thing JT doesn't bring all his girlfriends to watch him play every match. Abramovich would have to increase the capacity of Stamford Bridge by 20,000. Somebody bought me a box of Terry's All Gold. I was shocked to find new chocs called French Fancy and Cheat Cluster. What have Wayne's ex-missus and the 2008 Champions League final goalpost got in common? They've both been banged by JT. The England team have voted for Terry to keep his place in the World Cup squad. With the ban on WAGs travelling to South Africa, no one wants him left behind. Wayne sent his missus a replica of his willy made from Cadbury's chocolate. But she refused it, saying she prefers Terry's! Bridge refuses to play for England while John Terry's captain...let's hope he starts cheating with Heskey's missus too. Chant heard at Burnley v Wigan: "Same old Terry, always cheating." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that statement there, are you sure you're not mixing up "Steven Gerrard" with "The entire Liverpool squad except for Gerrard and Torres"? Just, y'know, making sure They've actually done a remarkable job to be in the top half of the table with a two-man team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, y'know, making sure They've actually done a remarkable job to be in the top half of the table with a two-man team I take it you haven't seen Liverpool play this season? Gerrard has been sulking since coming back from injury, while Torres halves his time between occasional brilliance and constant arguing with the ref. Anyone can see that the loss of Xabi Alonso has affected Liverpool more than expected, while Reina is probably the best keeper in the league. So I suppose you could have called them a 2 man team last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalimyr Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Scotland won the world cup in my game and were rated the No. 1 team in the world for a while I had a game in FM09 where Scotland won the world cup 5 times England had a habit of finishing third in that game, too. But they could do that more consistently than Scotland winning, so they were first and Scotland were second in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
