Solid Gone Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ...do you try and strike up good relationships with (if any). Managing Liverpool, I don't really want to get friendly with any of the top managers, but I always say good things about Zola & Tony Adams...mainly because I felt they were class acts in RL. What about you lot...any blossoming friendships...or out and out slanging matches with other managers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I get friendly with most managers around me in the table, makes for interesting matches and getting players in easier, I'm LL though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Generally those I like in real life. I always have a lot of disagreements with Benitez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Same as skorp really. I always try and rile up the Sheff Utd manager, no matter who I am. I always try and buddy up with Wenger, try and steal some of his players from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTerry-look-alike Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Managers that i want to buy a player off!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'd not do this until you are an established manager, your players may object. Check their personal stats. Stay friends with them all if you want to buy players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Awes Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 None of them, its a question of dominance. In any relationship there will be a dominant party, usually the lesser party will be the one who requested the friendship or pushed to make it happen. Ergo I let people strike up friendships with me but I do not run around trying to make them happen. That pretty much goes for real life as well............

Manumoss Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Harry Redknapp, Paul Ince, Fergie, Martin O'Neill and say bad things about Wenger, Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpaps Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm usually nice to managers I think seem OK in real life, being a caley and liverpool fan, I always big up Fergie (which may seem strange) but that's cos he's so good, pretty much the best there is. But I hate Wenger and Arsenal, so they get the full brunt of pain, as does Kevin Keegan, but that's just cos I don't like him personally. Great player though. Aberdeen are the other team I hate.

Y2Craig Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I don't really have anybody that I care to befriend. Just depends on who says positive stuff about me. Steve Bruce tends to be high on the list because I manage Newcastle (my team) and Man Utd mainly in FM games. I'm coming out on top of the Roy Keane mind games in this game though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebzilla Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Managing Man Utd I've somehow wound up being all matey with Mark Hughes at City (after winning the Prem at their ground), and Guardiola whose Barca team we beat in the CL Final last year. I don't get on too well with Wenger, and Mourinho has gone back to Chelsea and is feeling the full force of my mind-gamery. As mentioned above, I don't actively pursure friendships or enemies, just roll with whatever other people think of me for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyno Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Usually the ones that try and be friends with me. Currently, I think there's only Kombouaré (Valenciennes) & Luis Fernandez (Saint-Etienne). I hate Puel (Lyon), since he's usually trying to steal all my players, and with no exaggeration, he has declared interest in my players over 100 times. Usually the same couple too. So at every opportunity, I play mind games, fire negative comments his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkim Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm usually friendly with everyone except fierce rivals. I tend not to break any traditions the club may have in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeontheArsenal Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Tony Adams, for obvious reason's. On the other hand, Keane always tries the mind games, and i absolutely hate Bernd Schuster, always after my players! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
