snootyjim Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Boston United, Season 1, 2010-11 - Blue Square North Finished - 12th League Table Best Eleven Transfers Season Summary We managed to bring in a lot of youth from Scotland and clear out a lot of the deadwood, leaving us with only three players from the original squad - Canoville, Camm and Wood. They all went on to play fairly important roles, but it was a fairly average season all-in-all. Nobody was that great, although Christie was able to grab 16 goals over the course of the season which wasn't a bad return. Career Overview Season League Position Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Blue Square North 12th None Next Season I suspect that even some our good performers will be on their way next season, we really need to up the quality of the squad and earn a promotion as soon as possible before the money runs out. With the wage limit now capped at under £4,000 that could be difficult to achieve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my knowledge bar that given by my Nationality English/NIrish disappeared after applying patch 9.3.0 on FM09 and it's not returned on FM2010 bar what you randomly get when managing a national side that then disappears rapidly when you leave It's rather annoying as I quite liked trying to gain my manager random bits of knowledge and it was about the only reason I ever really used the manager interaction feature.

dafuge Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2021/22 Last season we finished just outside the top half but with a young and talented squad I was confident of improving yet again. League Table League Positions Graph I was expecting an improvement but nothing prepared me for this. We were looking good to challenge for the title but bottled it as we lost out in the run in towards the end of the season. Perhaps if we had a slightly bigger and more experienced squad we might have stood a chance of the title. FA Cup - we finally won a semi final match at the third attempt but then suffered heartache in the final. It was a thriller of a match but our chances faded with the sending off and the injury meaning we played the second half of extra time with just nine men. Carling Cup - not a particularly eventful competition as a weakened side got beaten by PL opposition. Transfers - we already had a decent squad but the signing of de Vries really made a difference this season. Squad - as the youngsters start to grow up this squad is only going to get better and better. Key Player Profiles: Michael Karner - he had a great season, top scoring for the club from midfield. Dale Ellis - the three striker rotated a lot but Dale was probably the best of them. Arie de Vries - he made such a difference, we really missed a player like him last season. Anderson - speculation about his future is mounting and even though he had a good season I would be willing to sell should a good enough offer come in. Nigel O'Loughlin - I forget just how young he still is, there's lots to come from him.

SnakeXe Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Season 17 - SnakeXe's Merthyr Tydfil Well as it's a very exciting season, we'll have a slightly different format so as not to give the game away before you've read it Setting the Scene As January commenced, we were looking good - top of the league with a nice cushion, in the League Cup Semi Final against a poor Ipswich side, and through to the Champions League knockout round having won our group (a group including FC Bayern, Sevilla and PSV). So naturally we started it with a 2-3 defeat away at Championship Stockport in the FA Cup 3rd Round /o\ we did, however, keep up the ante in the league and successfully negotiated our way to a League Cup Final against Liverpool. Which we won - on penalties The Champions League Gets Serious With Lyon in the 1st Knockout Round, I was anticipating a struggle, but an amazing display in the away leg gave us a 5-1 lead. This gave us the opportunity to rest some tired legs in the home leg, and a 1-1 draw sent us through 6-2 on aggregate. Next up - another French side, and conquerors of Aston Villa, Marseille. We faced the home leg first, and I was hopeful of a repeat demolition as they didn't seem to have any more about them than Lyon did. We stormed into a 4-0 half-time lead with a brace from Paul Craig, along with goals from Massimo Bartolini and Jose Manuel Moran and everything was looking rosy. Unfortunately a second-half collapse/fight-back left the tie very close at 4-3. The second leg had a lot to live up to as a spectacle - and it didn't, with another 7 goal thriller! Thankfully it went our way again, as we progressed 8-6 on aggregate. Crunch Time With the season in its home stretch, we faced big challenges at home and abroad. Well, perhaps not at home, as we had a sizeable lead and a favourable run in at the top of the Premier League - and it was no surprise when we clinched the title with a 3-0 win away at Burnley! Domestic double for the Martyrs - could we make it a treble? Juventus - who had claimed the last two Champions League titles - stood in the way of that, and things looked bad when we went in 2-0 down at half time in Turin. A second half fight-back through Moran and summer signing Tommy Fraser (European Championships Best Player Award Winner and all) made things look a lot better, but disaster struck as we conceded a late winner. I was anticipating a tough match back at Penydarren Park - and in all honesty not expecting to win through. A bright start was ruined by Andy Meara (we had him on loan back when he was rubbish) putting Juventus in the lead on the night and making it 4-2 on aggregate, but we continued to press and our reward was sure to come... And sure enough - it did! Tommy Fraser was the architect, smashing home twice and dominating the midfield to give us a 3-1 win on the night and 5-4 on aggregate!! The Final We had the perfect team in the final - Europe's most successful ever club side, Real Madrid. And in preparation, we had 3 dead-rubber Premier League games. We had to balance the need to rest and avoid injuries with the need to maintain morale, a winning ethic, and match fitness. In the end, I decided to play the first team for Southampton (H) and West Ham (A), and then the reserves for Liverpool (A). This policy worked out fairly well, beating the Saints 2-1, drawing 0-0 against West Ham, and our reserves battled to a manful 2-1 win over Liverpool in the final game. All this meant we were in peak physical and mental condition for the biggest match of our careers. I decided to go with our standard approach, hoping that familiarity with the system would make us play well. And to be honest, I thought about trying to make it sound close run and everything, but there's no other way to put it really... WE WALLOPED THEM 5-0!!!!!!!!!

Cardiovascular Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 2015/16 - Hendon - BSP I honestly thought we could challenge for promotion this season and in order to do that, changes had to be made. I flogged fan favourite yet our constantly injured ST Craigh McShea to Neath for £35,000. I wasn't a popular figure amongst the fans but I made some decent signings to cover it if I do say so myself.. Media Prediction: 15th League Finish: 5th (promoted via play-offs) League Graph A massively tense finish which saw us slip up to 6th place Accrington on the last day; thankfully our massive GD was enough too see us through. Playoff Semi Final Leg 1 Playoff Semi Final Leg 2 Playoff Final As usual, we made it difficult for ourselves and scraped our through to League 2 \o/. FA Trophy FA Cup Transfers Squad Key Players Luciano Becchio - This years big man up front was truly sensational, 40 goals was an absolute sublime contribution from the Argentinian striker. Stephan El Shaarawy - A later inclusion to the squad but thank god he did arrive as he contributed 7 goals and an amazing 19 assists on the right. Matty Reid - Matty was excellent down the right defensively; he did what was asked of him. His only goal was a 35 yard screamer in the playoff final against Cambridge. Luca Santonocito - Another great season from the Italian as he dominated the centre of midfield. 19 assists was a magnificent contribution. Danijel Subotic - It wouldn't be key players with Subo would it? Played off Becchio and was a constant thorn in the side of the defence.

pjtopor Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 2019/2020 - Billericay Town - Barclay's Premier League League Position - 4th TABLE GRAPH In many ways, it was a transition season at New Lodge, as much of the first half of the season was devoted to unloading fringe players before they got too expensive. We made money hand over fist, which in addition to the usual cheap and free youngsters, was spent on a couple players of real quality. In particular, the addition of Marquinhos to the AMC role was critical to our success. The other transition was tactically. After a fairly dire first half when we were drawing left right and centre, and were unable to stay in the Champions League, I decided to go to a more attacking formation. The results were pretty convincing. We started scoring in quantities never before seen at New Lodge, but we also were shipping goals in a way we never had before. Still, more oft than not we scored more than we conceded, and we were able to use that momentum to a run in both cups we were still entered in. The FA cup, we made the final based on what had to be the easiest draw I've ever seen, including League One Luton in the Semi; The Europa League we had some good results against some good sides. In both cases, Chelsea, our perennial patsy was the opposition, first in the Europa League at Camp Nou, to be followed three days later in the FA Cup at Wembley. The Europa League match was, well, dire. We never looked like scoring, but fortunately never did they, and when Marquinhos stroked home the 5th straight penalty for Ricay, we had our first ever silverware, and were champions of... the also-rans! Ricay 0-0 Chelsea, Ricay win 5-3 on penalties Europa League results Three days later our star striker was suspended due to a rash red received in the 2nd to last league came, but we scored early through a header from centreback Castro. The lead was doubled on 54 when the Bulgarian Damyanov tapped in after good work from Cleiton. Chelsea pulled one back on 85 through Guiseppe Rossi, but we held on for the FA Cup! Plastic Double Ricay 2-1 Chelsea FA cup results League Cup Champions League Group Stage UCL results As stated, I pimped out fringers and expiring contracts all over the place, en route to a 20 million pound profit in the transfer market. If this doesn't get me a youth academy I may just shoot my chairman. TRANSFERS FINANCES Highlights of the squad this season: Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez - Rodríguez Sánchez still gets shown because he's been a loyal servant, but I'd say there's a reasonable chance I'll be selling him off soon. While he's been quite solid, he's prone to some horrible lapses as well, and with the higher level of expectation at the club, that's beginning to get a bit dangerous. Lasse Ikäheimo - The Finnish starlet came into his own after the tactic change, becoming Ricay's first 20+ goal scorer in ages. While he's no doubt my finest ever buy, he's also maddeningly inconsistent Hans Blom - In his game of one-upsmanship with fell world-class midfielder Pickering, Dutchman Blom was the clear winner this season. David Castro - The Spaniard has been with us a while now, and if he could stay healthy he might actually get into the Spain side with regularity. The only one of my defenders I'm sure to keep. Marquinhos - The Brazillian is one of a select few non-regens in my side, and his purchase was an important infusion of quality, even if he was a bit injury prone. There is another batch of youngsters pressuring the established members of the side, particularly Cleiton and Patrick Grim, a Brazillian and Dutch striking duo who would be unbelievable if they had just a bit more pace. Cleiton in particular does the business off the bench pretty regularly at the tender age of 19. There are also a pair of high potential centre-halves in the reserves. What we really need is a solid DM to push Victor Vega, who's been with the club quite a while now. Anyway, I think we're two years away from a serious challenge at completing this challenge, but now at least, I can see where that can happen.

dafuge Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Just had my first CL group draw, as 4th seeds I knew it was going to be difficult but I've got a horrible draw: Werder Bremen, Ajax and Barcelona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaNovi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Its not that bad is it daf ? ill reckon you take 2nd place ;-) CHL footy seems like fantasy for my squad as we play bad, once again, at the start of this season. I think i might keep the game on hold for the next week as i have exams all week. Hopefully i will see my squad different and begin to win games edit: whoops forgot to post my season update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebaker Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well I nearly got my wish as Nantwich will make their Round Two debut in the League Cup playing away to Championship Bolton, lets hope that brings in some much needed money.We have also just lost our only League Cup Record - we've held the lowest attendance record since 2012 when we played Blackburn at home and rather ironicaly it was a sellout game as we filled all 3,500 seats for just the second time after the BSP Playoff Semi-Final. i hate playing Bolton and Wigan away in the cups, tough to beat but with nobody watching, i had 7500 turn up in an 3rd Rd fa cup match when i was L1 and Bolton in the championship, only 4500 turned up in the replay at my ground. Not much of a money spinner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aario Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm wondering if the 'knowledge through friendships' was disabled a while ago? I have not managed (or even really tried / played long enough) to gain knowledge through friendships since FM08 but I definitely did gain knowledge back then but praising another manager. In FM10 however, one of my staff (Mel Gwinnet) has knowledge through friendship of another person (Northampton Manager Paul Tisdale) as you can see here.
