UELLfan Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Might as well join the fun in here. All home nations, major European ones, Argieland and Brazil fully loaded. FM08.0.2 fwiw. Currently in 2062-63 so I'll just sum it up a bit here. Dad: Started his trade at Albion Rovers in Scotland's Third. After a dubitative start in which he was almost sacked, he somewhat found a way not to **** his players and never looked back. Stayed there from 2007 until 2048, turning them into Scotland's domestic powerhouse and a serious European Contender (18 SPL titles, some umpteen Cups, two UEFAs and three finals lost in UCL) However, mermaid chants came from south in the border and a League One struggling Manchester United came calling for him. He stayed there from 2048 until 2057, getting them a promotion or two 5 EPL titles, 9 Cups, three European Supercups, two UEFAs two World Club Championships and two successive UCLs. He was about to retire then at 80, but Juve asked him for one more season and set him the challenge to break Barletta's iron fist stranglehold of Serie A. Thus, with a clean sweep of the Italian (Serie A and Coppa Italia) and a last UCL in where he had to beat Albion in Quarters and Manchester United in the Final the good man called it a day in June 2058. Son: I was about to ditch FM08, I really was, but something urged me to push until the seasonal update and boy I'm glad I heeded the impulse. A team who had never been playable emerged from obscurity and nothingness. The culprits: Larne Technology Old Boys. Son joined them on 20th June 2058 and after a shaky 1st season in which he almost got the sack for not achieving what the Chairman asked for (promotion of xure), he somehow dodged the dreaded axe and got Larne a second team in Northern Ireland's Premier by 2061-62. He also managed to win the domestic title that very same season. 2062-63 will see Larne OBs in their first ever european foray. Some finnish team in the first qualifying round and Maccabi Haifa in the second were we able to negotiate that tricky 1st tie. The board also want the domestic title and two domestic Cups. Demanding? That must be the chairman's surname if I'm honest. However I have a hidden ace in my sleeve. Before my scout was nicked by Albion Rovers (where he played his trade back in the 30s as a D/WB R) he unearthed a gem of the highest calibre. A sixteen years old pacy and technically gifted striker whom we stole from Linfield for a meager 5k. He looks a massive prospect and could even turn out from 'Wallace'-esque to 'Smylie'-esque (though I'm afraid his dribbling is a tad too low for the later ) Anyone still reading?

Azeryk- Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have high hopes for the upcoming season, have done plenty of shopping and got a young squad who will only improve with some great prospects for the future. Whether it's a waste of money or good investments only time will tell. I had a look at my old clubs to see how they were doing: Aberystwyth have basically won everything since I've left, not sure if I should be pleased I left behind a good squad with decent finances or gutted that they don't miss me. Still using a lot of my signings with them also being the best players still. Plymouth gained promotion from league one although not bothered about them as I was only there six months which isn't long enough to make a real impact.

Azeryk- Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Update Free State Stars - The club were expected to finish 10th again and based on how the first half of the season went that was how it looked like going, we sucked plain and simple and even got knocked out of the Knockout cup in the first round. after getting sick of dodgy results I decided to give the youths more freedom and promoted several up from the U19 side and stuck them in at the deep end as the saying goes and they luckily rose to the challenge. I now have youths playing at DL, DC, MC, ST and 2 of the sub slots. We finished 3rd in the league which gets us in next seasons continental competitions (their UEFA cup basically) and we reached the FA Cup finalists but sadly were the second best team on the day. Togo - Doing ok but it all depends on man City striker Adebayor, so we're basically a one man team. We reached the world cup which is amazing although I can't see us doing much there in a group with Sweden, Uruaguay and Portugal - but it should boost my reputation. Will look to leave the team afterwards for one with a better chance of success, i.e. two good players - lol. Togo also reached the Q-finals of the African Nations but lost to Mali on penalties.

Azeryk- Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Think we need more people using this thread Free State Stars - Well I made a £1.2M striker signing at the beginning to solve the goal scoring issues and he managed 49 goals in 47 games which as you can guess made it a more fun season. We won the Charity cup right at the beginning before being knocked out of the Super 8 cup in the first round. We quickly went to the top of the table which was where we stayed the whole time, and along the way being knocked out of the Knockout cup and won the FA cup. I would write more of an update but am cold and I doubt many people visit this thread anymore.

I expected to bounce around the smaller nations, winning their continental trophies before ending up in England or Spain to win the biggest league and champions league. I didn't expected to be linked, or offered jobs at Aston Villa, Liverpool or Man Utd so soon which is really annoying. Because as much I would love to have £50M to spend at one of the worlds biggest clubs; I know this is my best chance of winning the African champions league without having to re-visit the nation at a later date.

UELLfan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Larne Technology Old Boys. 2062-63 N.Iron Premier 8 players in for £5k. 12 released. 9 players sold for £2.6 million and 35 to 50% on next transfer. Europe: Out of the UCL in Quals 3rd against eventual winners Bayern München. Out of UEFA Cup on 1st round 2-3 agg against Pisa. Cups: Clean sweep domestically, managed to win the All Ireland Cup despite being outplayed by our Irish counterparts. Thanks to the Lord for our awesome free kicks taker. League: A season of consolidation. Retained without less trouble than last season. Playes watch: 17 yo jewel had a quite accidented season. Still 23 goals for his first competitive season and bearing in mind he has had injuries worth 9 weeks ain't that bad I guess. His low stamina means he gets quite some injuries. For the moment I'm playing him in the dying minutes and when our first choice ain't fit enough. Luckily our first choice striker (and free kicks taker) delivered the goods with 58 goals. The two new playmakers slotted into the team quite well scoring 30 and providing 35 combined. We do need a quicker defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Cheers, the club are expected to finish 1st so the squad isn't too bad. Have added as new DL, DC and MC to bolster the squad better for when there are injuries and a future FC who looks amazing at only 17, so I think I have a chance. Am in the Copa Libertadores group stage (am hoping thats their Champions league) which could make my stay in Argentina a quick one if all goes to plan. In last years career game I took at least one player from my old club to my new club which was kinda cool. I think one guy called Draper played for me at three different clubs in three countries. The players seem less willing this time, I think the move from South African to Argentina is not appealing enough despite the larger wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 17 of the final 19 games of the season which put us top of the league closing stage and top overall so the title in now back in the Boca trophy cabinet. We also won the South American Copa Liberatadores with a penalty shootout win over Sao Paulo after a 3-3 agg draw. Although I've done my job in this continent I will be staying here for another year to win the remaining cups and to boost my own personal trophy cabinet, plus half a season would have been too short anyway to find out about the Argentinian league.

iacovone Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'd stick with Boca tbh, see what you can do in the Libertadores before you flee to North America Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Will stick with Boca Have done the Liberatadores btw, the club was in it when I joined which sped up the challenge, won the Sudamericana this season and will try for the Liberatadores again this season as well.

iacovone Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Ah right, in that case jump ship . I suppose one more Libertadores wouldn't hurt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Won the Argentinian league quite easily, started with a good squad and the youths I bought have only improved the squad, have started looking for new jobs, been turned down in Australia and South Korea (twice) so far which sucks as I am meant to have a world-class reputation. The club don't like me doing it but after winning trophies they don't wanna sack me for it either so it's quite handy. World Cup 2018 (hosted in England) is on going so should have an International team to manage soon Season Country Club Division Finish Other 2009/10 Wales Aberystwyth Principality Welsh Premier Champions League Cup Winner 2010/11 Wales Aberystwyth Principality Welsh Premier Champions FA Cup Winner 2011/12 Wales Aberystwyth Principality Welsh Premier Resigned in January 2011/12 England Plymouth League One 7th Resigned in May 2012/13 S.Africa Free State Stars Premier Soccer League 10th 2013/14 S.Africa Free State Stars Premier Soccer League 3rd 2014/15 S.Africa Free State Stars Premier Soccer League 1st FA Cup Winners, Charity Cup Winners 2015/16 S.Africa Free State Stars Premier Soccer League 1st African Confederations Cup Winners, Super Cup Winners, Knockout Cup Winners 2016/17 S.Africa Free State Stars Premier Soccer League African Champions League Winners, Charity Cup Winners, Super 8 Cup Winners 2016/17 Argentina Boca Juniors Premier Division 1st Copa Liberatadores Winners 2017/18 Argentina Boca Juniors Premier Division 1st Copa Sudamericana Season Country Competition Finish 2009/10 Cook Islands OCE Nations Cup 3rd in Premlim Table 2010/11 Cook Islands None None 2011/12 Cook Islands OCE Nations Cup 3rd in Prelim Table 2011/12 Togo World Cup Quals - Stage 2 (Afr) 1st in Qual Group - Stage 2 2012/13 Togo World Cup Quals - Stage 3 (Afr) 1st in Qual Group - Stage 3 2013/14 Togo World Cup / African Nations Group Stage / Q-Finals 2014/15 Togo African Nations Qual Resigned in March 2015/16 2016/17 Tunisia World Cup Quals 2nd 2017/18 Tunisia African Nations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You probably aren't getting job offers whilst still at Boca because it would cost the new club money to compensate them for taking you. Resigning may be the option if you're after a Sth Korea/Australia job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 That does make sense, I think when Houston wanted me earlier in the season it would cost them £600,000 for me. Will resign after I'm out of the Copa Liberatadores then as that ends within the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Knocked out of the Copa Liberatadores in the semi-finals against velez who I really should have beaten and then lost against Sao Paula in the Copa Recoupa which gives me a bad ending to my time at Boca Been offered International jobs after the World Cup with Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, World Cup runners up Mexico and World Cup winners Italy. Not sure who to go for between Mexico, Italy and Saudi Arabia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Mexico could be an interesting one. It'd be either that or Italy for me, I think. C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Italy are hosting Euro 2020 so wouldn't have many gams until then so I went for Mexico Also now managing at Columbus Crew in the USA, who sacked their manager just to hire me despite being top of their group........

iacovone Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Excellent stuff Azeryk. Shame Boca ended disappointingly but well done on forcing a fellow manager out of a job . Also would have gone with Mexico so that should be interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah have always had a little soft spot for Mexico so should be good, especially with the Gold Cup and Copa America expected to happen within the next twleve months. Despite doing well with clubs I'm yet to win an International trophy so this should end that. Mexico are now ranked 6th in the world so chances are good. Columbus has been ok so far, signed Kim Kallstrom to better my midfield but am SO not used to the different rules :S Added - Just found out am in the North American Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Well that didn't go to plan, we finished second in the Eastern Conference after throwing away a five point lead and then lost to Kansas in the Eastern finals so no trophies for me in America yet. Although we're in the North American Champions League still; but were due to face Atlas in the semi finals and I can't see us getting past them unfortunately. Not sure how next season will go, not used to the contacts/signings differences in this country and I'v'e never done the MLS before so doubt I will get as good a squad as normal together during the pre-season.

Azeryk- Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Is anyone else even doing a career game any more? I won the MLS now, used the same strategy as before, sign youths and wait until they grow Works well in the weaker leagues where they can have a good impact early on, downside is I have tons of teams sniffing over my players. Lost my ace DL due to the damn chairman accepting a bid. Also won the Pan-Pacific Championship although thats basically worthless any way. With Mexico I won the Gold cup breaking the record for goals scored along the way, I think at one stage my results were 7-0, 5-0, 6-0, 5-1 Reached the finals of the Copa America but lost on penalties - bah Have started to notice the game running slow now, which should worry several people as I'm only running 7 countries and like 11 leagues (game is off and I am trying to remember) and my PC is quite new. Am no where near too slow but though I'd comment on it.

Nobby_McDonald Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Is anyone else even doing a career game any more? There are plenty of updates in this forum to suggest they are. I for one have just started my fifth season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
