Wijnand fens Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Maybe it's a record My team: Salernitana 40 seasons the manager of the same club (without going on holiday) And without cheating (that's for losers) I start in the serie C, after 2 seasons I promoted to the serie B, then after 6 years I promoted to the serie A, the first 10 years I was a average team in the serie A (finished between the 15th and 7th place) after that I finished every year by the best 5 in the league My victories: 1x winner Serie B 3x winner Italian Cup 2x winner Serie A 1x winner Champions League I'm very very very rich, my club is worth 2,2 billion euro's 250 million euro's transfer money 190 million euro's wages money (I use 100 million) How I became very rich?: search for young stars who want a lower wages than the star players, build a team, after a few years sell your cheap youngers for about 20 to 30 million euro's, keep the wages low. And start all over again. I'm still going strong, I want to reach 100 seasons, my age is now 65 years old. I'm very proud with this save. Are there more people who manage just one team for a very long time? And is this a record so far? bye Wijnand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archy-91 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Aye you asking if the length of time is a record? Or the amount achieved in that time? Becuase to be fair, there are probably a lot of people on here who could win more than 7 trophies in 40 years, I appreciate it's difficult to rise up through the leagues, and Italy's a tough country to crack, so I'm not saying you've not done well, I'm just saying there will be people who have won more. Personally, I get bored with a team after too long, I think 6 years is my longest at one club. My pattern tends to be : Join club, make a few signings, overachieve, leave before it all goes down the drain. The reason I leave while (or just after) an amazing achievement is that I always find that my achievements balance out. If i overachieve one season, the next I will underachieve, and I think it works vice versa but I'm generally sacked before I can reverse poor form, bloody confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijnand fens Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 FM 08 I know, I don't win much trophies, but as you say the italian league is very tough. My question is: are there more people who manage a club for a very long time. and is 40 season manager of one club a record? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes it's a record, but you would need to state the number of days, rather than years. Go here if you'd like to be the new record holder. Current record is 9817 days (approx. 27 years) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you are 65 and you've been managing for 40 years, that means you were 25 when you began. I though the game defaults your age to a minimum of 33 or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Muff Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nah, you can start at 25. I think it only sets you as 33 or whatever when you make yourself too young Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm 19 and it always stars me off at 29, but I think funnily enough it still uses the D.o.B I entered, which really raises some questions lol. I suppose you could just say I lied on my CV, after all, being an international footballer with 0 caps is very suspicious too lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
