pikeal Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Drake Bourbon. No idea why, but it is a name I used for a save a few FM's ago and had loads of success...never quite got there again though since. Like the whiskey and the biscuit...and the chicken!

Wavelberry Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 When not playing as me, which I usually do I have: Edwardo Ballsio: Former Iranian International footballer who manages International sides for years and then only takes the biggest jobs. Samir Quazarindalado: former Columbian International footballer who buys big and only wants glory, doesn't care about money. Matthew Gradson: former pro who manages a Charlton side often populated by myself and my friends. Oh and in the old days when you needed a bit of money from Chelsea I had Bobby Blobby who would take over Chelsea and then buy all your crap players for vastly inflated prices. Me and my mate would often refer to whether a game had been Bobby Blobby'd or not. Hmm, more names than I would've though there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMYK Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 My name has sort of changed from past versions of Football and Championship Manager games. Let's just say my current manager name for the past 3 years has been Mr. BaLLz. Yeah I jiggle alot at the news I get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If i manage in the UK/Ireland i use my own name. If i manager in another country i usually roleplay as a manager native to that country. The one time i used my own name when in a foreign league i created a backstory where i'd played part of my career in Germany, for Schalke 04 by chance. But then, i didn't manage in Germany on purpose... it was more a journeyman career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwater sunlight Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 at one time on an old CM i was managing 3 teams at once. a mediocre scottish team, aiming to make them the dominant force (had some wicked regens - candela, raul, etc...) the manager was called 'Someone Else' and i managed scotland - that name was 'Some C**t' the news items were hilarious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

av3ry Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My manager name depends on where I'm managing. If its in the UK then it will by my own name but abroad usually I make one up for example, Steaua Bucharest has Romania manager Bogdan Ionescu, I usually misspell the foreign names aswell.

dom di mascio Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I use a name of a real life footballer, usually retired i.e di canio, shearer, platini, bergkamp etc. I also add a pic of them also which u see in ur news which i think looks cool. Only wish SI made it that at the start when creating a manager, if u select him as internatonal footballer u can select how many caps/goals you have scored or your country Anyone else ever thought this?

robbert_o154 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'll choose from two names:Mike Patton or my name in reverse, Reltub Nivek Reltub Nivek looks pretty good actually. I'd imagine him to be a former Slovakian or Czech international footballer turned manager. Which reminds me of a tactic I'd created on CM01/02 for laughs, a 1-2-3-4 that worked remarkably well (which I suppose tells you all you need to know about CM01/02), and that I'd dubbed Eertsamx. Cos, you see, it's a Christmas tree formation turned upside down, so the name was 'Xmastree' spelled backwards. Yes, it's stupid, but it amused me for a while.

Toaster1996 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I always use my real name and as a 'Sunday League Footballer' which is what I am. If I want to make the game more realistic then I'll go to the data editor, delete the manager I want to be and then I'll be the one who I deleted.

Robert the Spud Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I choose my name depending on the league/club i'm managing in. For example, i was managing Spurs and decided to choose a french name. In Norway i chose a scandanavian name. Managing weston super mare i chose an bland english name etc. I never use my real name, nationality nor age, because i find it very boring. I like to immerse myself into a different world..

crouchaldinho Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I always use my own name, nationality and age, but maybe I would like to use a fictional character some time. Maybe one for the future. One thing I've always fancied is picking a favourite regen and once he has retired creating his character in a new save and then living out his managerial career.

Karnage94 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I use my own name and Northern Irish as my Nationality for all saves. If I'm managing outside the UK I use the country that I am managing in as my second nationality. This plan goes out the window for journeyman saves where I become Silvio Berlusconi or if I set myself a target where I only buy U21's, in that case I become Frankie Boyle, Bishop Brennan or Gary Glitter.

Hugo_Cienfuegos Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm always Hugo Cienfugos (Hugo of the hundred fires). English with a Cuban second nationality. May and my may discovered a South American winger with that surname, my mate studied Spanish and I was impressed with the grandeur. The Cuban link is that there is an island off Cuba called Cienfuegos. If I add another manager he is always a 69 year old Englishman called John Doe.
