Strange but wonderful events happening in your save?

Just thought i would start a post to find out strange yet wonderful events happening in your game. In my Save im at the end of March in 2011 and Manchester City find themselves in the relegation zone 5 points from safety with round 9 games to go. Mancini has not been sacked which is even stranger lol.

Whats been happening in your games?

Liverpool won the league on mine. Strange ^^

Aston Villa and Everton survived in the Premier League on the last game of the season, ironically by drawing with eachother, which saved them both as Blackpool had a better goal difference than both and finished 1 point behind in 18th.

Fix? Definitely ^^

Signed Ronaldo from Real Madrid for Barcelona for €39.5m = which is odd because they offered him to me in the first transfer window of the start of a game.

Signed Ribery - chased him for about 2 months before the transfer window. Offered €76m for him, rejected. Start of transfer window Bayern Munich offer him to me €13.75m

Won the league 3 times in a row and champs league twice in a row. Drew the first 5 games of the opening season and a lot of players wanted to leave because they felt the team was underachieving. I turned things around and got them back top, 5 points clear, trashed Real Madrid 3-0, and now they are all still unhappy and won't sign new contracts, namely Messi. Which is awful really - he may end up leaving for free...

strangest thing i saw was in first season, mourinho got madrid to the champions league final, but as they were pipped to the league, got the sack. 3 days later a managerless madrid won the cup

On fm2007 here but oh well!

10 years in Shane Long is one of the best strikers in the world.

Pompey are now one of the best 4 teams in England.

The Glazers havn't financially ruined Man Utd. In the past 3 seasons they have spent £303m while only selling around £30m worth of players.

Real Madrid havn't made it past the group stages of the champions league for 5 years.

Belgium are 8th in the FIFA rankings and Angola are 11th.

Strange but not so wonderful - Liverpool won the league in the first season with 93 points.

Inter signed Gareth Bale for 6m. Chelsea signed Balotelli for 9m.

Stoke lingering in the top four for large parts of the first season, finish fifth by a point or two in the end. Get relegated the next season or the one after that.

Mancini managing to get sacked from jobs with Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea.

England not having enough of Italian managers by hiring Ancelotti followed by Mancini.

Sunderland finishing 3rd in first season under AI management.

Big Sam becoming manager of Arsenal.

Buying Anderson for £4 million and after a great season selling him for £21.5 million.

Achieved my biggest ever away day (from memory). 2-2 at home to Villa in the FA Cup. 8-0 win away from home. It was one of those days where my players scored at will.

Sheffield United doing the triple in five years without human intervention O_o (that was FM07)

Blackburn finished 2nd in the Prem in 2011/12 and then finished 17th in the next season.

Thread winner right there.

In FM10 man utd got relegated in the 6/7th season so i took them over, still had rooney and ronaldo and few other big big names on huge long contacts so i managed to keep a hold of them despite many transfer requests, won every game that season in the championship, but ended the season losing somthing like 70mil so i had to sell the big players as soon as we got back in the prem.

Peter cech NOT getting mom in any of the 7 games I've played against chelsea so far! :O

Nice thread!

In my save on FM10, it's 2021, and Steve Bruce has just taken over from Stuart Pearce as the new England manager. Not sure if that counts as wonderful but certainly a bit strange.

Mark Cullen in my game been dubbed 'The new Micheal Owen'

Made me chuckle

Previous FM cant remmember whether 09or 10 but

Chelsea stadium had an explosion, capacity reduced, part of the stand mended, I did post this here as well

Literally just had an odd moment, telling problem child Harry Kane I was impessed with his last performance 8.2 and 2 assts and him telling me he's suprised I'm praising him because he thought he played rubbish.

I remember that post ^^ People accused it of being a hoax but it was legit

David beckham playing for Coventry on 9k per week.

just beat Villa 4-2 & Houllier got sack...Villa 11 in the league

In FM10 Norwich winning the prem after gaining promotion and knocking my tottenham out of champions league semi final but losing the final to barcelona

Season 2014/15, and Gary Neville is the manager of Sheffield Wed, while Frank Lampard is managing Leicester

In season 2021/22 on my save, only Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti have managed to remain in their Premier League jobs from the beginning of the save until now.

Simon Grayson manages Liverpool.

Henning Berg is at Fulham.

Sebastian Larsson manages Reading.

Sol Campbell is Hull City manager.

Tony Mowbray took the reigns at Arsenal after Wenger left.

Gary Cahill manages Sheffield United.

Alan Shearer is at Blackburn.

And I've saved the two best for last: Steven Gerrard in charge of Sunderland and Landon Donovan at Bristol City.

By the way, both Mancini and Ancelotti have become legends at their clubs.

And Chelsea are due to move to Lampard Park in 2023.

Sam Allardyce at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger at Roma, Carlo Ancellotti at Juventus, myself took Newcastle to 4th in 2013

Sam Allardyce at Arsenal

That doesn't sound like a good match.

I won the semi-final of UEFA cup and the newspaper were celebrating my winning of the Cup, I thought ok bugger the next game then

I'm in season 2013/14 and NONE of the premiership teams have the same managers. Liverpool are already on their 4th!

I got that I lost the Champions League semi-final to an 88th minute away goal 2-2 on aggregate. Almost lost my voice screaming for an extremely hopeful offside. Then got a message saying we'd won the competition. Hmmm......

Also, on '10 England won the World Cup under the wisdom and guidance of a certain John Terry. Oh, and Gerrard is manager of Chelsea and is a legend there....

Not an event but I'm in Avram Grant's favoured personnel list. So he must like me, right? Yet in the "relationship with you" row, he has a poor opinion of me. So I'm really confused about how he feels about me.

I'm in season 2013/14 and NONE of the premiership teams have the same managers. Liverpool are already on their 4th!

I'm also 2013/14 and the same thing has happened:

Arsenal..............Michael Laudrup

Aston villa..........Gareth Southgate

Birmingham........David Albelda

Blackburn...........Damien Duff

Blackpool...........Alan Pardew

Bolton...............David Weir

Chelsea..............David Moyes

Everton.............Alan Shearer

Fulham .............Simon Grayson

Liverpool............Mick Mcarthy

Man City............Rafa Benitez

Man utd ...........Quique Flores

Newcastle.........Miroslav Klose

Stoke ..............Roberto Di Matteo

Sunderland........Tony Pulis

Tottenham.......Steve Bruce

West Brom ......Gary Johnson

West Ham........Emile Heskey

Wigan..............Graeme Jones

Wolves ............Michael Owen

In my first two seasons Liverpool have come second both years in the prem. Ferguson keeps getting threatened with the sack and he's come 3rd and 4th.

in 2015 ,cristiano ronaldo has moved to bayern munich on a free transfer.

alan shearer has managed blackburn, aston villa and now liverpool.

michael owen is now in his 2nd job, frank lampard and didier drogba are also managers.

David beckham playing for Coventry on 9k per week.

Becks had a trial with Coventry on mine but they didn't want him. I still have him in my England squad despite him being 37 and not having a club for 6 months

Rivaldo just got hired as Atletico Mineiro manager

Just saw this score. Its 2011-12 only and Histon are 19th in the BSP. Ok, Spurs have played a 2nd string but they still had 7 full internationals on there. I'm neither team for what its worth:

End of first season and Ronaldo has had a falling out with Mourinho and requests a transfer, I can't afford him but I offer all I have (£19.25m) and Wellington Silva as he was the only player Real was interested in, and despite Silva only being worth a couple of million they accept the bid and I manage to fluke my way through the contract negotiations and get him down from £300,000 a week to £190,000+bonus's. Amazing bargain.

Holidayed through first season to the 24 June of first season so I could take FC United up through the leagues.

Man City relegated in the first season, have now a full strength team in the Championship even though most of the players are unhappy and want to leave.

Saved a copy of it too so could be a fun game to play as you rebuild the Man City team.

Big Sam becoming manager of Arsenal .

3 seasons in on my game and Mick McCarthy took the managers job at Arsenal

big sam was manager of spurs for 4 years before he got the sack. hes just got the job as england under 21s manager

Just got to the end of season two and Liverpool have re-hired benitez.

And i was offered the England job and have managed to hire Jose Mourinho as the U-21 manager (Mourhinho was un-employed at the time)
