Now, for a real test in the Blue Square leagues Raware!At least you will get more money in Level 6. Best of luck in the new season. Cheers rancer. My thoughts exactly! You only need a few half decent players in levels 10, 9, 8 and 7 it seems to make an impact within those leagues and with such a lack of restrictions on loans, it's quite easy to get that quality in on loan. Hence I took full advantage of that to get 3 straight promotions. I've achieved nothing yet, as you say, the real test will start now! I need that extra money in level 6! Another great season with Long Eaton there Raware, although the finances don't look in a good state I presume you'll be just wanting to stay up next year after 3 straight promotions? Or will you be going for a 4th league title in a row? Thanks hamilton. Another promotion isn't something i'm even thinking about for next season. The real test starts now and i'll just be happy with staying up next season. I can see ourselves being in the BSN for the next couple of years at least as with our dire finances stading as they are, we can't get the players in needed to get us out of the BSN yet...and I can't rely on loans anymore . We definitley need to sort our finances out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, still no joy in getting a parent club . I'm still waiting to get a 'big' club in the cup draws to get some much needed gate receipts. Played Huddersfield a few seasons ago and raked in £100k but nothing like that since.

The last thing you want is points deductions later in the season if things get worse. Also I see you managed to Bring Kinsella in he has been (and still is) a fine player for my Bulldogs team. Cheers WH. I know, the finances are dire and were not even overspending on the wage budget. We're even getting players in on free's and loans and still losing about £15k-£20k a week! Next season is going to be a struggle so for us to be docked points would be a nightmare. Kinsella has been doing well for us since arriving on loan last season, so well that I got him in for a 2nd season. He didn't play as many games as I would've thought though as mainly because Carsley and Sissoko have been keeping him out of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the cups though is bad news, no money coming in. I had the same with Mishra, Diagne and Darnet.

Raware Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Long Eaton United F.C. Season 2012/13 : Preview League expectation --------------------- Blue Square North (Level 6) : Respectable league position (Board expectation) 10th (Media prediction) Cup expectations ------------------- FA Cup : 3rd round FA Trophy : 2nd round Derbyshire Senior Cup : Not important Transfer budget : £3.18k Wage budget : £5k p/w Current wage bill : £5k p/w After a whirlwind 3 years in which we’ve claimed 3 titles and 3 promotions, this year sees us competing in the Blue Square North. The board aren’t even considering a fight against relegation and have set the objective of a respectable league position by the end of the season, as have the media who are predicting us to finish 10th. While I know we beat a few BSN/BSS teams in the FA Trophy last year, I still think it’s asking a bit too much of us. With restrictions on loans now (a maximum of 5 loan players are allowed in the match day squad with only 2 long term loans allowed all season) this is going to massively hinder us as previously we’ve got by on the quality being from players on loan. Now, we’ve got to find our own quality and honestly, there’s not much out there. Well, not much out there who’s willing to join us! Our wage budget has increased once again which has helped us out in bringing a few more players in, most notably; Davide Grassi who joined on a free after his contract expired at Dunfermline, Mark Magennis who joined from Northern Irish outfit Bangor on a free, Richard Walker who joined for a club record £3k from Nep’s Knockbreda and Kevin Wilson who joined on a free after being released by Forest, who I’m told has the ability to play at League 2 level. Probably my most pleasing signing so far though has been Nathan Adams who’s joined us on a free after being released from Lincoln City. I’ve had him at the club for the past 2 seasons on loan and in that time he’s scored 33 goals in 72 games. Hopefully, he can continue his goal scoring form now he’s joined us on a permanent basis! Pre-season transfers Pre-season squad : There’s no doubt we should have enough depth and cover throughout the season but I’m not sure we’ve got the quality amongst the squad. Still, I’m pleased with the players we managed to keep, namely Lee Carsley, Charlie Sheringham and Ibrahim Sissoko and I’m pleased with Nathan Adams who we managed to bring in permanently. One other player I’m pleased to have got is Chris Dagnell who we signed on a free at the end of last season who should be capable of putting away a few goals at this level.

Raware Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Three straight championships and FA Cup Fourth Round from the Northern Premier League. Hmmm... Do you actually go through this forum trolling on purpose Nobby? Because it seems to me that you do! Someone has a slight bit of success and you automatically hint at cheating. This isn't LLM which you are so used to. If it's that what you want, go back there. I would prefer it if you kept your opinions to yourself if they're of the nature of which you post. Why on earth would I post a career in which I 'cheat'? If you'd have taken the time to read my thread you would've seen the reasons for my success via loans, etc. Did you actually see my route to the FA Cup 4th round?

Pangaea Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've learned the hard way that it is indeed possible to fly up the leagues without cheating. It's incredibly disappointing, but due to a range of issues with the AI, it is sadly still possible to get back-to-back promotions. I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself though, so I can understand others' skepticism. When I read threads about teams flying up the leagues I tend to automatically roll my inner eye and think "cheater". But now I have my own career as proof it's possible while still keeping to the core guidelines of the LLM forum (with the difference that my save used a file that enabled leagues down to level 8). Good luck. Hopefully your conscience is as clean as mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your conscience is as clean as mine Your thread is an example of what can be achieved on FM10 and also an example of where people have expressed an under lying skepticism/sarcasm with out really putting it into words, which in my opinion is worse than coming and out and saying it. If people find it hard to believe, and in some instances I was like you too in that sometimes I read threads and rolled my inner eye but refrained from posting snide comments, then I suggest to them to try it out for themselves. With no restrictions on loans in levels 10, 9, 8 and 7 and players from local clubs in levels 2, 3 and 4 willing to join on loan it makes it a lot easier to climb the lower leagues. It bemuses me as to why I would dream of posting a career in which I had 'cheated' and given my track record within this forum, I thought that would of been suffice to uphold my reputation...apparently not . I have no qualms regarding my conscience and i'm glad to see neither do you. It's a shame others tend to disagree but that's their problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have your tactics sorted and know how to play him (ask skinty about Darnet ). Darnet couldn't score for toffee in his Borrowash Vics save so I suggested he played him as a support man instead of attacking and he soon started knocking the goals in . As you probably know llamas have a slightly different appreciation of what is realistic and not, so loaning players from far up the pyramid is something we don't do. But then this isn't the LLM forum True and I appreciate the rules llamas adhere to but as you say, this isn't LLM and at no point did I say I was playing strict LLM . I made offers for certain youth players at bigger clubs and if they're prepared to come to me within the boundaries of the game that SI coded then i'm going to take them; hence my rapid ascent up the leagues. I've not bragged about this and have even said i've achieved nothing yet. Now i've reached the BSN and with the restrictions on loans that they have in this division, it should be more difficult now.

I'm of the firm belief of playing the game how it should be played and see no point in people using third party tools during their save (it's their save and they have the right to play it how they see fit though as you say) hence my irritation with such suggestions.

Raware Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Long Eaton United F.C. Season 2012/13 : Mid season update League table/League progress/League fixtures : With the boards pre season expectation of a respectable league position by the end of the season and my own expectation of a similar finish, I’m more than happy with our position as we reach the halfway mark . We made a good start as we went on a run of 9 unbeaten and since then we’ve only lost 2 more games. I don’t know what it is though (and I’ve had a brief discussion with Pangaea about this) but it’s seems quite easy to over achieve on this years release of FM. Obviously I’m really happy with our performances so far but it does seem a bit unrealistic to be able to make such an impact being the new boys in the league. Nevertheless, we’ll try to make the most of this and hopefully we can maintain our form throughout the rest of the season to go on and make the play offs at least. After such a good first half of the season, it would be disappointing not to now! Again, and it seems like I say this every year, our main performer so far has been Charlie Sheringham who’s hit 11 goals in 17 league games, 20 in 30 in all competitions and that’s after my assistant manager recommended me to think about letting him go as he’s considered the weakest striker in the squad ! FA Cup : For the second season running we made the 4th round only to be knocked out by League 2 opposition again, this time it was Darlington who sent us packing in the replay. 4 of the 5 games we played went to replays which helped us out financially but didn’t help the players as they’ve been really tired after so many games. I should mention that Super Bladesman’s file which I’ve used in this save has a slight alteration to the way the FA Cup is set up. Due to a limitation of the game itself, he could only specify 4 qualifying rounds, when the FA Cup has 6. This means that there are 2 extra rounds. The competition is correct in every other aspect though; it just means that Premiership clubs join in Round 5 instead of Round 3 - however, Round 5 is Round 3 in terms of number of teams, prize money etc, so infact it's the 2nd round we reached. FA Trophy : A pretty straight forward route so far which has already seen us reach the board’s expectation of the 2nd round. We should beat BSS side Hayes & Yeading where hopefully we can go onto to at least achieve last years performances by reaching the Quarters. Derbyshire Senior Cup : The board don’t see this cup as important and to be honest neither do I now, hence the weakened side I’ve been fielding. Still, we’ve done well to dispose of the teams we have including Belper who knocked us out last year and with the main challengers for the cup, Alfreton, out already, we’re clear favourites to win the cup for the 3rd time.

Raware Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Cheers hamilton, good to have you following. Yeah, an unbelievable start to life in the BSN for us which has really surprised me. I haven't really strengthened the squad that much since last season so the only conclusion I can come to for us doing so well is either a) there's not much difference between the Unibond Premier and the BSN or b) our confidence is so high that we're just on a real roll which is enough to get us the results so far :confused:. I have no idea why my Ass Man suggested to me to let Sheringham leave :confused:, as you say, he's scoring goals for fun! He now holds the record number of appearances and goals for the club with his record standing at 87 goals in 137 appearances in all competitions.

Raware Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Don't Conference North & South teams enter at the Second Qualifying Round? Yeah, they do but due to the slight alteration Super Bladesman had to make to his database to fit all teams into the draw (mentioned above in bold) it means that there are two extra rounds in the competition, so infact, although it says that I entered at the Fourth Qualifying Round stage this really is the Second Qualifying Round (as when I reached the Fourth round, this really was the Second round). For example, Premiership teams enter at the Third round stage just after January IRL yet on Super Bladesman's database they enter at the Fifth round stage just after January. The prize money, number of teams, etc is still the same, it just has a different round name. To combat this he's added a Sixth and Seventh round (as I say, the two extra rounds) before the Quarter final. Hope that makes sense.

Raware Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Despite their age, they're the kind of players you need! I've got Carsley and although he's 37-38 he's still got more than enough quality . Send me your email address (via PM, don't post it here) and i'll send you the kits .

Raware Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 After thinking this save was finished due to a crash dump which I couldn't get past , now i've installed 10.3, the game has progressed past the date which it previously couldn't so hopefully i'll be able to get this save underway again and carry on with my updates .

WH Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Glad to hear it. It would be a shame for a crash to end your progress up the leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Long Eaton United F.C. Season 2012/13 : Review League table/League progress/League fixtures : With another excellent first half of the season under our belts, this once again gave us a great stepping stone for the second half of it. We used that stepping stone to full effect and put in some great performances which saw us lose only three more leagues games after Christmas (six all season) to see us go on and surprisingly claim another league title…a fourth in four years!!! . No prizes for guessing who was the star of the show this season…yep, that man Charlie Sheringham again, as he bagged 35 goals in 56 appearances; not bad considering my assistant recommended me to let him go! Credit must also go to Chris Dagnell who in his first season with us after joining at the end of last season, managed to bag 27 goals in 47 appearances. I was expecting this season to provide a sterner test for us after our surprisingly rapid ascent up the leagues in the past few years but that test once again just didn’t come. There’s no doubt I’m delighted to be in the Blue Square Premier next season but hopefully there will be a few more tests for us there. FA Cup : Our journey in this cup was over before Christmas and as I said in the mid season update, it was league two opposition Darlington who sent us packing in the Fourth round (remember, because of the way super bladesman edited his database, this really is the second round…in case anybody gets confused as to why a BSN team made it to the fourth round before xmas ). FA Trophy : I had a sneaky feeling that we could’ve gone all the way in this cup this year but those hopes were dashed when Spennymoor Town, a team on a mission who’ve had three promotions in the past four years, knocked us out on penalties. Derbyshire Senior Cup : We were always favourites for this cup and we didn’t fail to meet that expectation as we went all the way to defeat minnows Glossop in the final to claim our third Derbyshire Senior Cup trophy. Transfers : We brought in a few more faces this year (as stated in the season preview) which definitely brought the quality which helped us to our fourth successive title. Only one more face came in since pre season and that was ex-Celtic youngster Charlie Grant. He looks like he’s going to be a great player for us and I bought him specifically to replace the ever ageing Lee Carsley who looks like he’ll be retiring soon. Squad : I’m pleased with how the players adapted to the step up this season and they showed that they were more than capable of playing at this level…maybe higher. While I’d like to add to the squad for next year in the BSP, I don’t think that will be a possibility as we’re already at our wage budget and our finances aren’t looking too healthy. Which leads me on to… Finances : Getting worse by the day! At one point we were £350k in the red which left me fearing about possible point deductions, but after several cash injections from the board, we’re now at £-250k. Still awful but I’m hoping we can get some revenue in next season through higher gate receipts to at least allow us to break even every month. Currently we’re losing on average around £30k a month. We just can’t generate enough cash. I may even have to look at selling some players if it doesn’t improve .

hamilton162 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Jesus, this is turning out to be some career Raware! I'm presuming that you just want to stay up next year after 4 straight titles? Or is a 5th straight title on the cards?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I don't know what I want now...I thought this year was going to be a year of consolidation and look how that turned out! Although i'm obviously buzzing about 4 straight promotions (a record for me!), I can't help but feel a little disappointed at how easy it's been. I know the first couple of seasons were going to be easy but I thought the BSN was going to be a little tougher. I reckon the squad is good enough for the BSP and could make a push for the play offs next season as we beat a few BSP teams with no problems this year but I think that's where I may hit the proverbial ceiling. There's a definite gulf between the conference and the football league and that's showed when ever i've played league teams. The Football League is my main aim for Long Eaton and then after that, i'll see what happens! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
