Sussex Hammer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I know the rate of Managerial casualties have gone sky high in recent years but spare a thought for this fella. http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=BoltonBossInTrouble.jpg He has only been there a day!!! http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=BoltonLandmarks.jpg And I know it's 2014 but would the World Rankings really look like this with Belgium top?!?!? Mmmm!!!! http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=WorldRankings.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I had Belgium top for quite a period on one of my saves as they were runners-up at the 2012 Euros and then won the 2014 WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikulec Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Belgium is a bit underestimated IRL, they've got some fantastic players who have potential to achieve this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackter Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The only thing more crazy than the rankings in-game are the rankings in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex Hammer Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 No matter how bad a Manager you may be surely you should get at least one game before the board threatens to sack you!!! Seriously. There are a lot of these although not to that extreme. Some Clubs have three managers within 6 months and there are some bizarre Manager choices as well. Arsene Wenger in my game signed a new three year contract with Arsenal then walked out to take the France Managers job days later, Surely with the loyalty shown to Arsenal over the years he wouldn't do that. I know that there are sacking IRL but there just seems to be far to much of a merry go round in FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastley Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Belgium are like 41 in the world now.. Saying they will win a WC or be #1 in the next 5 years is like saying Australia will do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker2 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Belgium are like 41 in the world now..Saying they will win a WC or be #1 in the next 5 years is like saying Australia will do the same. Not really. Vermaelen, aged 26, is the 4th oldest outfield player in their squad. In goal they have Courtois, the 19 year old Atletico player who has had a lot of buzz. In defence, they have Vermaelen, who'll be at his peak over the next few years, Kompany, who could hardly get better than he already is, Vertonghen, the Ajax captain, who's only 24 at the moment, is already rated highly, and could still improve. Throw in a regen RB and that could be a world-class defence. In midfield they've got Eden Hazard, 20, who's possibly only behind Gotze in the consensus for next player to make the step from dazzling on the domestic stage to earning full European plaudits. He'll plausibly become a world-class creator over the next few years. Then you've got Witsel,22, and Defour, 23, who have always been linked with top Premiership clubs, and FM at least has certainly always rated highly; plus Fellaini, 24, to fill out the midfield. Then there's Lukaku, 18, on the end of the through-balls, or holding up the clearances. Those are the ages of the team now, and they're already the best Belgium has - which means they've already started playing together and bonding as a team. In 4 years, if all that generation develop to their potential, they could be one of the top teams in world football, and an outside challenger for honours. You can't say that about Australia.
