Fa cup: won in 1927 lost to sheffield united beat arsenal in final in 1927 Thats some history Fact:we are the only team to take the fa cup out of england! Football manager: Transfer budjet:1m-1.8 m money(cash)around 400k+ at start wage budjet:?sorry please could someone help me out here? best player at start(coach report):Robbie fowler Highest paid player:Robbie fowler-17,000 suggested signings: -------------------------- torje-300k+ try say dedline tommorow or earlier because lots of teams come in bogdan stancu-400k-+-good player same with torje charles andre doudin 35k-good pace can go past people. seth johnston christie and thompson all worth a look at -for free good players eagles-always i mean always get him on loan he got 9/11 mom for me and on evry game from champ and lower Delvechiio-hes a good player get him on trial first see how it goes your decision Players to sell-Fowler 500k+due to his wages Jason byrne-even though i actually played him in friendlys he was alright he just cant play at championship standard One of the strikers-i know now but on version 8.01 this is only for that version this tip is get rid a couple of strikers as you could do better! and their value will go less and less so sell them while you can. Ok the squad is: Goalkeppers --------------- Michael oakes Josh magenniss(youth) David forde Josh Herring(youth) Defenders ------------------ Darren purse Glenn loovens Roger johnston Chris gunter(8.o1 and below) Kevin mcnaughton Tony Capaldi Matt smith(youth) Bradley Middleton(youth) Joe ledley(lb and mid) Darcy blake(hot prospect cna play defence and midfield_Hot prospect) Adam acheyampong(youth) Adam Mathews(youth) Kyle edwards(youth) Dean hudson(youth) Ashely Buswell(youth) Lee smith(youth) James Bloom(youth) Overall: Certaily have a lot of defenders(youth so i suggest you sign a experienced left back and centre back to keep solid) Midfielders ------------------------ Stephen mcphail Darcy blake(dm and defence or cm hot prospect again 1 of best youth players at team give him first team starts he will develop well) Aaron Ramsey(So young so talented will become amazing i mean it what a player he will develop like blake if you play him along the years) Peter Whittingham Trevor Sinclair Paul parry Aaron Wildig(youth) Jon brown(amrl plus a striker i think) Gavin Rae Riccardo Scimeca(injured at start) Willo Flood(on loan to dundee) Kevin cooper(sell him!hes just rubbish will never make the first team) Rhys kellerher(youth) Jack carlile(youth) Paul gallagher(youth) Zak Evans(youth) Overall:Not as many youth options as defence but blake and ramsey could really develop midfield probably one of the best parts of the team,might wnat to sign a lone centre midfield as scimeca injured and rae sometimes so blake has to come in sometimes my advice is to play ramsey but mostly Blake in friendlys league cup and as much as you can always try keep them on your bench Strikers ------------------------ Steven thompson(injured at start) Robbie fowler Jimmy floyd hasselbaink Steven maclean(8.01 hes there 8.02 gone to plymouth) Matt green(youth advice is to sned out on loan he was supposed to be a good player but he might not be cardiffs standard) Jason Byrne(sell him!) Craig mason(youth) Sam wade(youth) Rafeeq kaid(youth) Tyrell webb(youth) James Upcott(youth) Overall ------------- Id suggest seling some of your strikers,fowler certainly as he take swell too much money and club go really bad in financial status,webb looks like a pacy upcoming player,buy 1 or 2,stanu and doudin are good together overall 435k for both if you sign torje dont play him straight away include in friendlys and league cup etlike blake and ramsey, Hasselbaink seems ok but your decision,couple of youth players looking ok as cardiff are known for producing players like jerome and earnshaw.strikers really could save financicial problems! Thats your squad ye si know i got this all off my football manager team,it took ages to remmeber them all.So here we are!! ive included reserves and u18 at the START of the game(this is version 8.01 ,ive tried including differences now and then!) enjoy! Travis wheatle(youth) Warren Feeney(out on loan at swansea,havent tried him out you decide really) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickers347 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Why is the majority of the squad lumbered with such poor stats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirds4life Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 poor stats yes they do i agree with lots of them But they are very good if you get around 2-3 players which you need to cover, mainly goalkeeper you have a good, strong side, most of the team look bad but are brillianr, Rae 9/10 MOM gunters really good mcnaughton Loovens and Johnson has brilliant marking heading and tackling stats. So get a few signings where there are weaknesses and the mostly the whole team(exept purse and oakes) are UNDERATED! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott08 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Just starting up a game with the Bluebirds. So far i've snapped up Gunter, Ched Evans and Wayne Hennesey on loan. Trying to off-load Fowler, Sinclair and Feeney to free up some cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Nice. When did you get promoted? Im aiming for first season but its tricky with such limited resources. Will enjoy the challenge of bringing some success to my home nation though I've just about scraped enough money together to buy D.Escudero, if he can get a work-permit. Always liked him.

Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Finally managed to offload Fowler, Hasselbaink and Sinclair. I can feel my wage budget breathing a sigh of relief. £33k odd a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Right, after a good pre-season with wins over Marseille, 3-2 and a draw against CSKA Moswcow, 2-2.. im all set for my first league game in charge, at home to Norwich. We'll line up as.. GK W.Hennesey (Loan) DR C.Gunter (Loan) DL T.Capaldi DC R.Johnson DC G.Loovens MR P.Parry ML P.Wittingham MC J.Ledley MC G.Rae AM D.Escudero ST C.Evans (Loan) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Game No.1 : Home to Norwich. Cardiff City 2-0 Norwich (Anichebe 2) --> On for the injured Evans and bags himself a brace, great debut from the young lad. Game No.2 : Home to Brighton, League Cup First Round. Cardiff City 4-0 Brighton (Escudero 2, Loovens, Rae) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Haha.. probably not no I've sold Hasselbaink so it's going to be a struggle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_everton89 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yeah but Anichebe should do well for you in his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yeh hopefully, although im putting faith in Ched Evans when i play one upfront. Mainly because he's Welsh! I've signed a South African RB, looks a great prospect but he hasn't got a work-permit. Now, he just had his first senior cap for his country. Any ideas how many he'll need before i get a work-permit approved for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just slumped to a 1-0 defeat away at Colchester, despite dominating for long periods. However...... Cardiff 2-1 Sheffield United (Ched Evans 2) --> We battered the play-off hopefuls all over the pitch. Evans gets his first two goals!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_everton89 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No idea mate, I think it's a more complex issue than just international caps, linked with repuation aswell as other things I believe. I've seen others posting about players with 30+ international caps who can't get permits because there from low ranking nations and have low reputations. Best bet is to ask in General Discussion forum, someone in there will probably have a better, more accurate answer than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yeh i figured it would be complicated. Shame as he looks very promising. He turned down a move to my work-permit feeder club, probably because they are in the belgian third division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Having managed a 3-2 win against Notts County we made the league cup third round.. And the draw has just been made. A trip to the Emirates.. Away at Arsenal !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just moved up to third after 11 games with my biggest win so far. An incredible Saturday afternoon saw us demolish league leaders, West Brom, 5-0 (2 for Escudero, 2 for Wittingham and 1 for Ched Evans). We've cut their lead to 3 pts from second placed Bristol now, with us only 4 behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott08 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Pretty strong yeh. RVP, Rosicky, Eduardo, Bendtner, Denilson, etc.. Only people missing really were Fabregas, Toure, Adebayor and Clichy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTime Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just started with Cardiff. Are selling Hasselbank and Fowler and looking for two new strikers. Any ideas? Trying Fagan, Bridges, Davies(Olham). In my first friendly beat Chelteham 2-0. Defence is a rock, Loovens and Johnson rock. The midfield is good, espicially in the centre but a new winger is needed. Any ideas? Trying Barnslys Devaney. Up front i need 2 new strikers but i played Parry and a youth player up front for the match aginst Chelteham and Parry was awesome, scored twice! Youth players look good, Ramsey espicially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 How did you do it? I am struggling with my game, I am 14th in my second season, its really difficult. I play FM 07 here though. Can't win away from home and lose possession in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 FM07 and FM08 are very different.. on 08 i signed Escudero permanantly and Evans/Anichebe on loan .. who were the 3 main reasons we did as well as we did. Due to a poor summer and stupid, unrealistic prices on players i've decided to give the save a rest for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doyle Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 What happened man? Did you start off not so good in the Prem? Any tips for FM 07 then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOB1984 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just get Frazier Campbell, on loan from United scored 39 in 47 games in championship to get me to the Prem, trying my utmost to get him on a permanant deal, no luck as of yet.
