AndreTheShadow Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Makes me laugh. But wait until you see who else he's managed.. I really love my long-term games. In this one, Cannavaro is managing United, and John Terry just managed Plymouth to take 5th in the League. Gareth Southgate is managing Barca. Paul Robinson is managing Benfica Martin Skrtel is managing Tranmere Gianluigi Buffon is recently unemployed after having managed Middlesborough and Valencia.

Ninja Monkey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 In my long term Fleetwood save season 2027/28 Jose Mourinho has gone back to manage Chelsea, Rio Ferdinand is managing West Ham United with Darren Fletcher as his assistant, Sylvain Wiltord as the manager of Arsenal after Alan Shearer got the sack. Steven Gerrard is unemployed after managing Middlesbrough and West Brom, Fernando Torres is a first team coach at Murcia in Spain, Wayne Roney is a coach at Chelsea after being a youth team coach at Manchester city, Frank Lampard is a coach at West Brom. Those are the players I can be arsed looking for. In my backroom staff I have Brett Emerton, Eduardo and Thomas Vermaelen as first team coaches.

Kenco Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I like that fact that Ashley Cole is in charge of first-team affairs! Maybe JT should be his assistant? I have Fernando Torres as a coach at Man City and my AssMan for Spain. He was already a club legend as a player so I had to keep him on the books. He makes a good technical coach.

ugen64 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Cristian Chivu is an excellent manager on my game. took over Shakhtar at age 32 and currently has them in a Champions League semifinal. I've got Titus Bramble as the Rotherham manager (he's not half bad), Michael Owen is at Bolton, Louis Saha is France manager, Sylvain Wiltord has Burnley back in the EPL, Ryan Giggs is the Wales manager (on reputation only - his attributes are terrible). Saha, Chivu, and David Dunn (managing Southend) have the best attributes I would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iAmGory Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Steven Gerrard is managing Bristol City in 2022 I've seen this too, in 2023 though rofl. I'm 99% sure it was City and not Rovers but I'm in work. Carragher is my Assist. Manager at QPR. Agger is assistant at Denmark a year after retiring. Scholes is coaching at United under Juande Ramos who has been there 12 years now. Terry is at Portsmouth as manager, Michael Owen is managing a respectable Swansea team who are 9th in the prem and after a world cup and 2 euro cup wins, Stuart Pearce is back at my beloved Forest (and the team I started the game with though I'm at QPR currently). Oh and Anelka is Assistant manager at Chelsea under Martin O'Neill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithRDFC Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 2017 I'm at everton, Jermaine Jenas, Jamie Carragher and Ledley King are all managing in the lower leagues, with Colchester, Cardiff and Swansea respectively. Rio Ferdinand is a high profile manager having returned Sunderland to the premier league and since established them as an alright side. Henning Berg is the Stoke manager, and since an american tycoon took over they look like they could soon challenge for the title. Sylvain Wiltord has just become manager of recently relegated championship side Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
