rancer890 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Congrats on the new job rancer - looks lie you landed on your feet there. Interesting to see Australia and Gabon doing so well at the World Cup. Any plans/ambitions to go into international management? Cheers DodgeeD. Yes I have every intention of entering international management, but not now. Because I would prefer not to manage club and country, so I want to stay at Henan and see what I can do first. Nice move rancer. That's some tranfer budget! Do you think you'll be able to attract the better players to Henan?Good luck with the Red Devils Better players than at Anhui at least. I need a total rebuild though. Most player contracts expire after 2019 (as well as the foreigners) so I'll have to make do with the current one for now. Beijing also sacked their manager (I knew judging by this season's performance he would have been gone anyways) but I think Henan is a better fit for me.

rancer890 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Henan Jianye FC 2018 End of Season Review Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures - I started as manager from the Dongya game onwards. Hopefully we can do better next season as I know what we need to improve on. Chinese FA Cup - We were knocked out before I took this job. Transfers - I wasn't at the club long, but before the end of the transfer window I managed to sell/loan out 3 players not in my long term plans. 2 of them were't going to resign with us (a starting GK and left winger) so I cashed in on them, and another I had no interest in keeping so I loaned him and hopefully they accept the permanent transfer too. We signed 2 players though as replacements: Zeng Cheng - the new starting GK. He's pretty good by Chinese GK standards, and with the fact that we can't sign foreign GKs, he was a fantastic free transfer signing Chen Zhiyuan - was transfer listed by Shandong and signed him on cheap. He'll contribute for us for now. Squad - Average squad. Will see what I can do to make it better. Top Goalscorer - Jefferson Madeira Top Playmaker - Jefferson Madeira Most Consistent Player - Juilo Cesar Most Valuable Player - None. They're all pretty bad (to win the league title) and I don't know anyone. Awards None Finances: - Finances - No worries about breaking even every month anymore!

Chutney132 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Rancer890, don't know if you've tried this already, but there are a number of people on the official 11.2 patch thread in GD who have the same issue, and there are a couple of SI guys who are trying to offer assistance in fixing the 'save game cannot be loaded' post-patch problem you've got. Might be (if you haven't already!) an idea to check there to see if anyone can solve the problem - although it does seem to be an issue with either edited games or extra leagues...

After putting so much time and effort into it (and having the success you've had) maybe try Chutney's suggestion (I was gonna suggest it myself ). I made the same mistake with FM10 (albeit that it wasn't to the extreme that yours is but it might as well not have loaded 'cause I couldn't play it) and vowed not to update to the new patch if I was happy with the previous one. Hope you get it sorted. In response to your question in the discussion thread...I would holiday for you and upload it if I wasn't into my save.

rancer890 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Henan Jianye FC 2019 Off-season Transfers Transfers Went a little shopping over the off-season trying to improve the squad Li Bin - relative inexpensive transfer from an Indonesian club. Comes back to China after nearly 5 years in Indonesia. Former Chanba youth product. Depth signing. Twite Mili - couldn't resist signing him again from former club Anhui! I knew how good he was at Anhui, and hopefully he'll be as good if not better at Henan. Faced a lot of competition trying to sign him. Mamadou Sarr - another former Anhui player that I had coming to Henan. Hope all goes well with him at my club again. Jiang Bo - I needed a backup goalkeeper on inexpensive wages and also had to be pretty good. Jiang Bo fit the bill and will probably end his career with us. Jiang Zhipeng - the new starting left winger. Hopefully he works out. Alpha N'Gadi - young and talented striker who I hope will succeed at Henan. Obviously doesn't know Chinese but I have Sarr, and Mili to help with that. Leaving the club are my goalkeepers on free transfers to Nanjing and Chengdu, released some fringe players and youth, loaned 3 players to feeder club Zhongbang, and even gave a player away to Anhui on a free, as a thank you present of sorts for Mili and Sarr ().

rancer890 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Henan Jianye FC 2019 End of Season Review Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 - All in all a solid season and I succeeded in my goal from a top 4 finish and ACL qualification. Chinese FA Cup - Lost in 1st Round - it's only FA Cup and we were unlucky to draw Shandong. Transfers - Lots of transfers, here's the ones that made an impact: Li Bin - starting CB all year. Really improved his football from the time he was in Indonesia Twite Mili - no surprise. He's the real deal. Mamadou Sarr - had a great season, but only played 20 games because of injury Jiang Bo - doesn't have a lot of years left, but he's solid Jiang Zhipeng - bought to be the new left midfielder. Hasn't disappointed Alpha N'Gadi - solid year despite his slow start at the club. Got a hat-trick one game and kept scoring until he got injured. Also wins the unofficial award for the most underpaid player ever. He's playing for below minimum wage (I earned more money over the summer than he did all year ) Jiang Ding - scouts say he has leading CSL potential, so he's definitely one for the future Zhao Xuri - late signing, and another veteran on the squad Squad - The above signings plus Zhang Hongxing, Zeng Cheng (who's probably leaving on a free btw), and Jefferson Madeira were part of our success this season. Top Goalscorer - Alpha N'Gadi Top Playmaker - Twite Mili Most Consistent Player - Alpha N'Gadi Most Valuable Player - Twite Mili. If N'Gadi played the whole season then he probably would be my MVP. Mili maybe only had 2 bad games all season.
