Ah - thanks for the correction then! Glad to see you finally get paid. -
[FM24] Tulach Bòide [Scotland Tier 13]

I understand this is a bug, and if you start on with a club on Amateur status with an N/A contract, they will never offer you a semi-pro or professional contract, as long as you remain at the club. They will continue to offer you N/A deals. Obviously if you moved to a new club, they would offer you a deal on some money instead. It just means that Tullibody have gotten 22+ seasons of your services for free -
You qualified for the Club World Cup because it was played in Spain and the host country seems to usually get one further spot. I'm guessing all other high level Spanish sides (Real Madrid, Sevilla) qualified through their performance in the Champions League and you were the highest 'next' team to get the host spot.

The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge
Johnny-Trotter replied to darren1983's topic in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments
I remember managing United (ARU) in Aruba on FM22 (thanks to @V50's Caribbean expansion pack), and they play on a Sand surface. It was so funny seeing them coming out to on the light brown surface instead of grass, but I don't think it made much difference to how the game played at the end, apart from the visual aspect. -
I have played a save as Eupen in FM22 and they are a mess - huge loans, most of which are due after one season, which is basically impossible to solve financially. The administrators often come in and sell youth and/or training facilities, which does earn money, but leaves the club renting others so not really feasible. The finances in Belgium don't help much too. Looks like you are making good progress here - keep it up!

(FM23) We're Gonna Deep Fry....Everything!!
Johnny-Trotter replied to andychar's topic in FM Career Updates
I think that if you continue to risk up the rankings and improve Scotland's reputation, the question of distance being too far will be less of an issue. I would imagine that if Brazil offered any African side a friendly, they would be tripping over themselves to accept it. -
(FM23) Lutterworth Fox's go at The Nearly Men
Johnny-Trotter replied to TheLutterworthFox's topic in FM Career Updates
Looking good so far. Great progress, and yet still plenty of work ahead. Strange to see Darmstadt and Koln in the Champions League. Is is possible that they qualified through the 2 'wild-card' places which UEFA added? -
If you go to extended leagues (non-base game setup) like the Faroe Islands, or Estonia, you can have multiple reserve teams in lower leagues. Teams like Flora Tallinn, and most of the top division in the Faroes will have a second team and a third team in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th tiers and they can be used to develop players - as well as the u18/19 squad separately. The challenge here is that it's unlikely that few of these teams are professional in setup.

The New FMCU General Discussion Thread
Johnny-Trotter replied to deltablue's topic in FM Career Updates
Because that Guardian reference is about 13 years old, I thought I would check another reference site - RSSSF They have a specific page for unbeaten league season records - https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/unbeaten.html. You can use this and see where some more teams finished unbeaten but were not champions. Wherever you see 1 beside the team name, they were unbeaten champions and you will then find a few more who did not win the title, despite being unbeaten. For example: Bangladesh: 2009/10 2.Mohammedan SC (Dhaka) 24 19 5 0 63-12 62 Gabon: 2009/10 2.Mangasport (Moanda) 26 15 11 0 58-14 56 Libya: 1987 5.Al-Ahli Tripoli 17 5 12 0 13- 6 39 San Marino: 1989/90 4.SP Tre Fiori 20 7 13 0 32-23 27 [regular season and playoffs] Sudan: 2022 2.Al-Merreikh (Omdurman) 30 22 8 0 56-11 74
