GioGio85 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 There are tales of people who have played CM/FM applying for real football jobs and listing their game achievments on their CV. I watched my friend at uni send an email to the FA website when McClaren was sacked from England, stating that he had a wealth of knowledge in football management Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best thing I've ever heard! I'd heard that real club scouts use the FM databse due to it's accuracies, but wow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard this as well. The thing was the Boro chairman said they were grateful(I think). Im sure if you do a quick internet search youll find something.

Toadi Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm being a bit more risky at work atm... I've got a 17 year old keeper that came in when my first two choices were injured. Just realised I forgot to take him out and replace him with my first choice and I've noticed that he has played 8 and conceded 2. My first choice had played 15 and conceded 10. I don't want to stop playing in case his good run of form falls apart!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have tracked it down Does anyone have the original application and reply? I had a look online a few weeks back, and no one (not even here) actually posted his letters, just linked to his website, which has since gone down.

He seems to have a new website but there doesn't appear to be any further details on there (unless I'm missing something). More details on the BBC website though, but still not everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afced7 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Technically, he had more managerial experience than the guy that did replace McClaren, Gareth Southgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Strategic positioning + privacy filter + hand hovering over alt tab should do the trick I did that once, People thought I was watching porn. Im sure someone applied for the Boro job a few years back. I remember a thread here saying "FM can't get you a job". It had all the letters ,CV and stuff. I used to play FMH10 at the Insti. Not good on the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebbie Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I play work in window screen on my laptop as i have two 19" widescreen hooked to docking unit. Was in open plan office and still played it but now moved in to corner of office shared with our finance department and no one can sneak up on me so it makes it easier for me to play lol. I work in IT as well, so when got no calls or work to do play the game. Currently taking in turns managing every team that played in world cup at world cup and see how well i do compared to real life results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGE97 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Brilliant thread, enjoyed reading this. Ahaha I'm feeling the urge to take my laptop into school and play FM during double maths.... under the table ofcourse I done this in English, FMH of course. I crapped it the whole period, then I got sent out for "not listening to what she was saying", Of course playing in the corridor was much less risky.
