Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

[neurospasm]

Taking the idea from Whoopy and his famous ...It Really Could Be You....Who's Crap! I've decided to do a similar sign-up where instead of players we create....Managers!

All the managers will be assigned the same CA and a random PA to be revealed once their career is finished or at a point that I decide. During this time I'll monitor all the managers closely keeping track of the great achievements that you will all hopefully reach!


Because I would like some movement of managers between different leagues I will be giving everyone each nationality of the leagues loaded. You will all start at a random team. To give each manager a little individuality you will all be allowed to choose an "Elite Attribute" which will be set to the max or the min depending on the attribute. The list of allowed attributes are below:

Personal: Adaptability, Ambition, Controversy, Determination, Loyalty, Pressure, Professionalism, Sportsmanship, Temperament

Tactical: Attacking, Depth, Directness, Flamboyancy, Flexibility, Free Roles, Marking, Offside, Pressing, Sitting Back, Tactical Knowledge, Tempo, Use Of Playmaker, Use of Subs, Width

Non-Tactical: Buying Players, Hardness of Training, Judging Player Ability, Judging Player Potential, Level of Discipline, Man Management, Mind Games, Motivating, Squad Rotation, Working With Youngsters

Physio: Physiotherapy

Coaching: Attacking, Defending, Fitness, Goalkeepers, Mental, Tactical, Technical

Nations Currently Loaded:

Argentina
Australia
Brazil
England
France
Germany
Holland
Italy
Mexico
Portugal
Serbia
South Africa
South Korea
Spain
Turkey



This game will be done using FM08 for speed on my computer issues, if anyone wants to run a parallel version for FM10 I have no problem with that!

Sorry guys to be honest I was doing all of this stuff live I wasn't causing suspense purposely So how did the draw of teams all work out well here you go.

Argentina - 1 in Premier Division = 1
Australia - 1 in Hyundai A-League = 1
Brazil - 2 in Third Division Grp 14 = 2
England - = 0
France - 1 in Ligue 2 Orange = 1

Will forever remember FK Cukaricki Stankom Beograd, they'll always have a place in my heart

[neurospasm]

I will always give whatever screens anybody wants to see with their team except for their manager. Don't worry I'll be taking them and showing them to you all later. Tables for all leagues/cups that each person is in will always be shown when there's activity. Major transfers will be shown, I'm just debating as to whether I should show the starting 11 for each team before we get going.

Wooo Orduspor

I'll be happy as long as we beat the other Turkish first division team in this sign up

Also found out that Pavle Ninkov used to play for FK Cukaricki Stankom Beograd. He was the main-stay at right-back for many seasons at my Standard Liege save

If anyone wants screenshots of any players and what not along the line feel free to ask. I think with this I will start moving the game along.

We start Dec 25, 2006....and in general I'm going to do one of these style updates on the Jan 1 Update each year. Each month I'll write about your transfers, various goings ons, give you screenshots of your teams stats, show your manager win loss record, trophies, you know all that fun stuff!

Good luck everyone and hopefully it is for once you and not I who will be crap!

Sergio Marbus rocking it up in Rio Claro, an interesting start for sure.

Nice one hopefully he works out well in France as well, I don't recognize many of the players in this save since I'm not used to running all these leagues on their full detail with a large database.

Icheon Hummel Korea, i can't say im not a little disappointed but i believe in my management ability

Hopefully you didn't get a massive loyalty attribute and low ambition

[Mk_Forest]

I'm happy with my team in Mexico The right side is most certainly the weak link in team. Hopefully we patch that up pretty soon.

Boy do I have good news for you

[Mk_Forest]

Ohh?! When will I find this news out? I'm rather intrigued now haha.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Inegölspor is an interesting selection, mid table of Turkey's second division is not the best place to start, but if we can manage a promotion surely I will get noticed, or someone will see me serving a suspension for questioning the red card. I must say my squad is pretty poor though.

[Charlesbeams]

Rayo Vallecano eh, not the best, but surely not the worst :P

[hrbfcrule]

Got a couple of decent players in there, Kolomoc Gokhan and Demirci Senol. Not as good as the Antalyaspor team but hopefully good enough to stay up

[jackyb1989]

Real Jaén C.F. = next great Spanish team led by the new Mourinho......

or not (more likely)...

[BenCraig7]

glad to see i have bolstered my back line and that Charly looks a good prospect

[canvey!!]

Throw ins are important to me, it seems. Two decent signings, not sure about the outgoing transfers and from where cover will come. I am the only one in Germany so I won't have to feel like I am losing all the time!

[neurospasm]

Remember you guys made these guys the key signings all I've done is placed anybody whom the teams thought were first team or indispensible. Pretty crazy how many deals are coming in within one team, it will soon be seen how teams like Inegolspor & Hummel deal with having 7 and 8 new first teamers respectively.

[Mk_Forest]

Some very nice signings for my team I'd of said. He's even sorted the right hand side problem! Good news it was indeed neurospasm .

[neurospasm]

A good start for Eric Davis thus far 3 straight wins, Sergio Marbus not quite as lucky but also is in a harder state group as well. Other than that lots of transfers and managers waiting to see how some of their bold moves pay off.

[hamilton162]

Pedro Rios looks like a decent signing for us

[Almondo]

Valdez looks decent enough. for a 33 yr old winger

[hrbfcrule]

Pretty average signing from me there

I like the idea of the Manager stats table

[bluebirds4life]

Where's Chamois?

[PluckaDuck]

Brilliant start Neuro. Got a good signing there, though he's kicking on a bit in age.

Keep Up the Great Start

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Very good to see some players come in they all look solid for the level we are at, but nothing amazing

[coldkohmew]

a good defender who can play right back too. =)

[super_lampard]

Some solid signings there, Moon Sam-Jin looks decent

[neurospasm]

Where's Chamois?

No news for you yet I'm afraid.

There will be another update sometime today, the Brazilian teams continue with their state championships while the others make a few moves to get ready for their seasons.

The troubles continue for Rio Claro who have been allowing far to many goals this season. Marbus and crew must be hoping that more than 1 win can come from next months action to take them out of the relegation spots.
