niktheblade1 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'd rather snap my FM disc in half than manage the pigs (Wendy).

Silver Foxx Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 LOL it's only a game. Put it this way, I would never start with the local rivals of the team I support in real life. If I was a lower league manager, and was offered a job at these local rivals, I would still take it. You can totally revamp the team, and turn it into your favourite team anyways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertodibaggio Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I remember I used to enjoy a stint at Chelsea pre Roman. I considered them like I consider Spurs now, a fun challenge to try and break into the CL and dominate europe. Now I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!

DonnyNoel Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ha, me too. No malice towards the Blades at all and have managed them a couple of times in the past. As for rivals, no I dont think I could. As you usually despise a couple of players etc.. Although I did once take the Wales job and swear vengeance on the English FA after they sacked me for "only" coming runner up in the non-entity that is the Confederations Cup!

backpackant Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm a Leeds fan. I sometimes manage Chelsea at the start of the game to get used to the "new" game's characteristics and new functions - having all that cash gives a bit of freedom to just play without the "stress" of management. Sometimes take control of Liverpool or even Man U when I'm bored of the latest version and want a challenge. Always stipulate a "condition", though, such as only signing Brits or keep my squad under 24 no matter how good they get. But purely for enjoyment? Only ever Leeds or a foreigner.

Skunner Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm a Man Utd fan, and I have managed both Man Utd and Man City in my current game. I had no success with Man Utd, and had great success with City. Although, we wern't doing so well after, ironically after I resigned from City, they finished the the Premiership Winners.

betterspud Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 There's absolutely no chance of me ever taking charge of 'The Swine' (Swindon), Charlton, Brighton or Millwall, since I'm a Gills supporter. Nor could I ever manage Chelsea, Arsenal, Franchise FC, Watford (Sorry Miles) or Leeds, for all kinds of trumped-up reasons, imagined or otherwise.

Guest Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Im a Gooner and in all my many many years of playing FM, Ive only managed one full season not managing Arsenal and even that Atletico (2nd in the SpanisH League ). The only other foray was a quite immature yet thoroughly entertaining stint at Spurs in which my only aim was to see them thoroughly relegated. So I sold all their best players for nothing and spent all their money on non-league players. I played a 0-0-0-5-5 formation with an arrow on the goalkeeper to play ST. I managed to concede over 1000 (one thousand) goals in 19 games before I got sacked. This was my original aim, to see how badly I had to do before Id get sacked which I couldnt bear doing with the club I loved. So Spurs seemed a good option. You'd think after loosing the first three games 50-0 that maybe they'd figured out a pattern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimps2 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 There are a few teams I'd never consider managing as a Fulham fan. I'm even petty enough to reject transfer & loan bids from certain teams - esp Gillingham, QPR and Brentford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings69 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Rangers fan and I once managed Celtic - but it was only after a long game with Everton. I finally decided to resign from them, and was promptly offered the Celtic job. Celtic had been on a horrible slump for 8 years, never finishing higher than 6th. The appeal of the "taking over a once big club, and taking them back to their former glories" was something that was too much to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest United_FM Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I support Manchester United irl, quite zealously at that, and i've tried managing many rivals. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Leeds, name the rival, i've managed them. I find that managing these rivals let's me know their players better. Suffice to say, these rival team games don't last very long, maybe 2 or 3 seasons at most. Whereas, my Man United saves last several times that. And these longer-term United saves outnumber all the rival saves combined as well. I'd recommend trying managing rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
