15 years at Palermo on CM4, and on a different save game 15 seasons with Middlesbrough but after 15 years the game corrupts and you have to start again. I dunno if anyone esle has found this with CM4?

I can't believe the length of time some people play for! All credit to you as I just can't do it. I get really restless, after about 5/6 years with a club I have to leave unless I'm close to a promotion/cup/league victory etc. Afterwards I just finish up my contract and look for another team, whoever will take me that looks like a good challenge. Generally though I don't play a career longer than about 15 years as I get really bored of the regens.

@2055 Portugese and Brazilian teams are among the richest clubs in the world. I guess your FM has witnessed a big financial rotation in the globe.

The money will disappear when it reaches 4b and your club will automatically get into debt of the same amount of money and will get the transfer embargo, a lot of points will be deducted for going to administrators and they will sell all your best players to pay off the debt!!! It happened to me a couple of times untill I realized why... (I used USD) Terrible experience!!! But I managed to survive both times and not to get relegated... Now I'm keeping my balance at about 2b and everything is fine!

Wow Wijnand - great screenshots!

3,000 games played. Phew!

You are a wily old manager!

84 years old I should think so too!
But only '1' for domestic player rating? Is this because you buy lots of Dutch players? Or do you have a team with many nationalities?

What about the serie a? What does the league look like? Are any big teams failing or relegated?

Who is winning the World Cup in the 2060s?

Very good screenshots! Really enjoying keeping up with your game Wijnand.

russ the womble · 27-10-2008, 18:17

30 seasons with St Pauli, where I took them to be the highest ranked team in Europe. Also had lots of fantastic regens. However, I will admit, I holidayed through most seasons and still won most trophies. I only came back during close season to capture new regens, sell anyone getting near 30 and then holiday again

fmsteve · 27-10-2008, 18:20

Absolutely true!!! But the value of the club and the club's balance are 2 different things as the balance is the cash your club has at the moment and the value includes costs of the palyers, etc.! For example, my club's value is 1.77b USD but its balance is just 770,000,000 USD.

Reaching 100 seasons, do you live a life or just live in a computer room? PLus you can't be getting fm09 at any point then

Why is he cheating with the money? Its 2 billion pounds (roughly) the glitch kicks in and hes using Euros. There are a few regens that are that good and he said that he has a small laptop so he can converse with his wife/girlfriend whilst playing! Also hes gone 60 seasons not 100!

Wijnand, definitely don't listen to this idiot.

We all know that you never cheat and that you have worked hard for your titles.

Also, I think this ignorant person is jealous that you have had so much positive attention from people on the forum. It is always the jealous ones who are rude.

I would like to have a long-term game like this that brings me lots of happiness and enjoyment! I think it is terrific that you have got so far!

If you truly believe he is cheating, then please provide a link to the thread or posting where Miles Jacobsen claims that Wijnand fens is cheating. Otherwise your claims are worthless.

@ Wijnand fens:

I have been following this thread for a while (without being a member of the forum).. I would encourage you to not even respond to comments like the one made by malleria. Just keep on playing the game and enjoying your life...

One good thing came out of it though - I joined the forum

Let me know how it goes!!

my first season I finished 4th in the serie C1/B not promoted
My topscorer was Arturo di Napoli with 19 goals

( I print all my fixtures, every season I play I make a print screen of the fixtures, Leauge and squad and print it out.
I do this since cm2 so I can always look back, I have 5 maps full with fixtures lists.)

Example (this is the info I print)
Fixtures Doelpnt = goals

I must say, when I'm at home I play the game!!, but when I go to a friend for one hour, I don't shut down FM, (push the save button and leave) so the game time don't stop.

It said 55 days (right now 69 days) but that is not my real game time. (sometimes run FM while I'm not at home, because start up this save takes a lot of time, When I'm at home from work I start FM, when i'm going to sleep I shut down FM)

so, I have a life and go out!!!

I think it's great you've got this far, i can't because when i go on it for 5 hours my mum is like get off it you'll make yourself ill plus i have h/w, i have one question though, what inspired you to be salernita or whatever there called?

Wijnand fens · 29-10-2008, 16:42

Back in 1998 Salernitana play in the Serie A, they cheat en get bankrupt Fall to serie C, I remember that, so I want to bring back Salernitana to the serie A and more.

I don't know, maybe switch everyday

Maybe I can play it together?????????????

CityFox · 29-10-2008, 18:44

lol well I can't wait for the new one.
My longest reign at one club is only 4 seasons, with Everton on FM07, won 3 prem titles, 3 league cups, and 1 FA cup. Moved to Arsenal, and didnt loose a domestic game in my first season, and so won all domestic titles, second season with Arsenal I won it all!! I was quite happy with myself, but then Fmo8 came out and so it was put to one side

What is your league position? tip: try the Knap 106 tactic, for me it works.

Here is my squad of season 1:

If you participate in a small club to big club challenge in the CSE forum, you're more likely to stay with the same club for a long, long time.

Syn13 Amateur Join Date: 29th October 2006 Posts: 8	Re: What is your longest period by one club?? I can't believe the length of time some people play for! All credit to you as I just can't do it. I get really restless, after about 5/6 years with a club I have to leave unless I'm close to a promotion/cup/league victory etc. Afterwards I just finish up my contract and look for another team, whoever will take me that looks like a good challenge. Generally though I don't play a career longer than about 15 years as I get really bored of the regens.

Wow Wijnand - great screenshots! 3,000 games played. Phew! You are a wily old manager! 84 years old I should think so too! But only '1' for domestic player rating? Is this because you buy lots of Dutch players? Or do you have a team with many nationalities? What about the serie a? What does the league look like? Are any big teams failing or relegated? Who is winning the World Cup in the 2060s? Very good screenshots! Really enjoying keeping up with your game Wijnand.

Also had lots of fantastic regens. However, I will admit, I holidayed through most seasons and still won most trophies. I only came back during close season to capture new regens, sell anyone getting near 30 and then holiday again

Doesn't look like too much change in the serie a. The big names still there. Columbia and Norway doing very well! Plus Finland! I see you have many Finns in your squad and a few from Norway too. Wonder if this is the key to their World Cup successes?
