jri Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I start a game as Liverpool (thinking all I need is some Champions League footy and the board/fans will love me - the board want a title challenge (!) and give me 300K to mount it. After finishing second, 5 points adrift of Utd, the board aren't happy because apparently, I didn't challenge(!) Now, they offer me a new contract anyway and give me £40 mill to spend. They've forgotten about the title now, they just want Champions League football. Doesn't really add up for me. Even better though, both myself and Tottenham went in for Tevez. After getting him to sack his agent, I thought that it was a no brainer. Tottenham was in the Europa League, I'm in the champions league after finishing second. Only if Tottenham have the wages over me, there could get him. In the end, he chose them. The same squad status (Key Player) and half the wages! I couldn't even get him to sit down for the wages they offered! Does this happen a lot or does he just hate Liverpool? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 He might just not have wanted to play for you, depending on what your starting rep was he might feel he wouldn't progress as a footballer under your management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Welsh Lad Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Since playing for Man Utd who are a rival of Liverpool, he could have developed a disliking towards Liverpool during his time at Man Utd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heron Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 An ex-united player, who went to city. Seems to me he doesn't really care about these rivalries. So he should't in FM either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might just dislike Liverpool. Or he doesn't think you are a good manager, without seeing him Relationships its either one or the other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy#10 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Well in real life I can't see he would sign for either. But considering how much he said he hates the city of Manchester I can't imagine he would have much love for Liverpool either. Maybe he can only convince his wife to move to London Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootador Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Maybe region/city has a part in game now (pure speculation) and he preferred London to Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xechs Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 seems the most reasonable explanation that its to move back to london Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcchalk Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It’s the bit about Liverpool’s Expectations that gets to me. Surly giving them no money and saying they should challenge for the league is wrong? This isn’t really to life at all. They spent a fortune when KK came back. I know some of you will say that they won’t spend anymore now but you would have said the same thing when Hodgson was there but as soon as a new manager came they game him loads of Monday. For me you cant even consider starting with Liverpool unless you’re a Liverpool fan. Surely its suicide? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jri Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 to be fair it was the most enjoyable season I had with FM. Every match was tough and I put loads of thought into every game because I could get sacked for finishing 3rd! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
