Chalky1989 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm Roma in the 3rd season. I'm on 59 points after 21 games. I'm about to play AC Milan who are 3rd on 39 points. Thomas Schaaf, the AC boss has just used the comment to the effect 'that this will be the deciding game of the season, and that if they win it'll give them momentum for the title race'......which they're not in.... If Inter, who are on 51 points said that, fair enough, 8 points isn't huge if they could cause a collapse in morale, but when you're 20 points behind....jog on. Think SI really need to look at the manager to manager comments for the next version. I know there's well documented faults with it in other places.

heathxxx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 No, I think this must be exclusive to Thomas Schaaf. In under two seasons on my save, he guided Werder Bremen down the German league table before getting sacked. Then managed to land the Valencia job, steering them to twelve defeats in fifteen games before they got rid of him. Now he's in charge at Hoffenheim, where he's off to a flyer with three consecutive defeats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky1989 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 He's actually doing ok at AC, he took over in November, most of the damage was done before he joined. That said, spanked them 6-2, with Howedes, my CB getting a hattrick, and my other CB was an 18 YO regen standind in for an Injured Mexes and Burdisso. Quite pleased with that.

Sir_aLex Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wow, Thomas Schaaf on mine has done two incredible jobs at Man United AND Man City on mine... Once Sir Alex Fergusan retired, United free-falled down the table, even finishing as low as 15th with in house managerial appointments such as Phealan and McGuiness, Schaaf took over and guided them to back to back titles and a champions league... City then sacked The Great One, and poached Schaaf off United and has won the last 5 prem titles and a champions league! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just you watch though... I bet AC Milan will slide down the table now, Schaaf will get sacked, then miraculously land a job with another pretty decent team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it doesn't run the same every time, the way that after you click continue for the first time, your game is different to anyone elses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It's just been amusing on my save, watching him go from one team to the next and keep doing so poorly. I'm now waiting to see how long he lasts at Hoffenheim, before getting the boot, just to see where he ends up next! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Roma have just given Schaafy the job in mine, after his Bremen side were languishing in 13th. Not sure what prompted them to hire him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now waiting to see how long he lasts at Hoffenheim, before getting the boot, just to see where he ends up next! Just checked his past with Bremen. Finished 13th and then 7th, then was in the relegation zone when he got sacked by them. But as I said, doing OK at AC, taken them from mid table to 3rd in about 3 months.

Ranquelme Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Schaaf is doing well on mine. Got Liverpool back into the Champions league, they reached the semi final, but were knocked out by me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Liverpool back into the Champions league, they reached the semi final, but were knocked out by me Could do with him there on mine. Kenny is still in charge after finishing 15th then 8th. Now 6th, but I don't think he'll ever push on from that. 5 points from 5th, with the team above having a game in hand. I'm eyeing that job up though for when I leave Roma.

Chalky1989 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm telling you... it'll all go Pete Tong. It's been 6 games since I beat them. He's won 2, lost two and drawn two. Including getting battered in the CL by Real Madrid....it may be starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaru5 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Schaaf finished 3rd and 8th with Bremen before going to Porto on my save... I don't have Portugal loaded and so his only fixtures have been in Europe. Currently 2nd in their group playing 3rd place Celtic in the last game with the Bhoys needing to win 5-0 to go above them. If the top team draws or loses and Porto win they will win the group. He was knocked out in the 1st KO Round last season with Bremen so he has matched his performance there although in the 1st season Bremen failed to qualify from their Euro group having lost in the ECL qualifying round.
