crouchaldinho Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Good work dude. Looked through the info' and it seems Manchester United have slipped away into obscurity since Ferguson's departure. Apart from a Champions League in 2016. They win any more titles? Man United won that Champions League title in 2017. A FIFA Club World Cup in 2017. They also got a Europa League in 2012 and were runners up in 2023 and 2028. They won one FA Cup in 2038 and two League Cups in 2019 and 2039. Man Utd have become the perennial runners up. Second five times in the league and third five times. Second in the Europa League twice. Second in FA Cup once and the League Cup four times. They have definitely faded but they have never finished lower than 10th (which has happened three times) and usually finish in the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 How are wolves doing? Relegated in 2009/10. Bounced straight back the next season. Then went down again in 2013/14, only to bounce straight back again. Since then, they have gone on to establish themselves in the top flight. Highest finish 8th. They have won two FA Cups in 2023 and 2025. Won the League Cup in 2037. Never made it past the first knockout round of the Europa. Hey Crouchy GREAT post! Well worth a read through the whole thread.

Then established themselves in the Premier League for 17 years until relegation came in 2028/29. After that it has been up and down for the club. They find themselves back in the Championship in 2039/40 after getting relegated from the Premier League last season. Highest Prem finish 7th. Won the FA Cup twice in 2011 and 2014. Won the Championship in 2011. Runners up in 2029 and 2034. Europa quarter finalists in 2011 but got knocked out early the other times they have been in it.

Had their best period in the first half of the 2030s, where they finished top half every season and got three top 6 finishes. They had quite a few managers during this period though, including Fernando Morientes and Pierluigi Casiraghi! In 2034 they won the FA Cup. In 2035 they lost in the Europa League final to Barcelona.

Nep, Arsenal are now playing at Van Basten Park built in 2029. Van Basten managed the club from 2017 until his retirement in 2028. During this period, Arsenal won 5 league titles and a Champions League title. They also won 4 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 2 European Super Cups. Van Basten remains a legend at Arsenal. Overall, they have won 2 Champions League titles (runners up twice also), 8 Premier League titles, 1 Europa League, 5 FA Cups, 3 European Super Cups and 6 League Cups. Arsenal are now managed by Jamie O'Hara, who had a long career playing for Tottenham for 12 years! Peter Crouch is his assistant manager! Emile Heskey is the first team coach!

How's Athletic done in Spain? Forgot to answer your other question. Iker Muniain is 46-years-old and currently an unemployed manager. His playing career was interesting. Moved to Chelsea for £3m in 2011-12. Loaned to Leeds for a while, then Newcastle and then Reading. Made just two appearances for Chelsea before being sold back to Athletic. Spent the best part of his career back with Athletic (8 seasons). Then ended his career at Wolfsburg (a £17m move). He commanded transfer fees of £24m during his career. Made 401 apps and 194 goals for all clubs. Only capped at U19 level. He then coached at Zaragoza, Stoke City, Racing and then ended up becoming manager of Racing until 2035. Fernando Llorente is 54. He spent his whole career with Athletic. 496 apps, 244 goals. He is in the favoured personnel at the club. He went straight into management with Rayo, then Salamanca, then Palencia and finally joined Marbella where he is currently managing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland 12th in the world rankings. Under 20s World Cup runners up in 2037. Made the World Cup four times. End up in fourth place in 2034. Other times, only made it out of the group once and that time got knocked out in the second round. Got to a Euro semi final in 2016 and 2028. Current manager is a regen called Neil Ross. Bit of a journeyman player. Played for Bolton mainly. Then managed Everton before taking on the Scotland job. The only other manager has been James McFadden who lasted for 17 years!
