Spanners Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 So I'm Nottingham Forest. A little history... I've made it to the Prem in my first year through the play offs. After two seasons in the PL I just about hang on and secure a middle table finish. Then I get lucky buy some great players and push for the title. I missed the title but just managed to get CL qualification which amazingly I go on to win against Inter! Go figure?!? Great. So this season begins and thanks to the CL money and a damned fine piece of goal keeping I not only win the Euro Super Cup, League Cup, FA Cup, Title AND the CL. This is surely my greatest achievement I'm ecstatic the fans are singing my name and I've been inducted into the hall of fame. So here's the kicker. After every competition win I get The board comment and say "We fully expected you to win this competition and not to let the celebrations get it the way of concentrating on future successes" Or words to that effect. What exactly do I have to do to make these idiots happy?!?!?!? I'm not sure I can win anything else!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah they do that, pain in the arse but the confidence system was broken the moment they put it in the game IMO. So long as you do keep winning like they want, you won't lose your job so it doesn't matter too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah I get that too - a better well done message would be nice for the big competitions even if the board expect you to do well in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanners Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 yeah but wow thats a lot to live up to. Not sure I can realistically do that every year :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanners Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks ChewyFun, After about 8 years of playing CM and FM I finally got something right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Same here. No matter what I win the board always say they expected it. In fact the board are complete idiots. Every time I sign a promising youngster (even for free on £200 a week) they keep telling me for 6 months how disappointed they are that I signed the guy. Idiots.

CaptainPlanet Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 What was interesting when I got this message, was that the start of season expectations for me after I won everything actually went down to "European qualification through league finish" whereas the season before was win the league.

Some Guy! Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Too bad Forest are going down in real life... Letting us have your best player for nothing doesn't seem such a great idea now does it? Not to mention buying the drunkard failed that is Earnshaw for £2.6 mil...

jayahr Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 While I can understand getting such a message when managing one of the top 5 clubs in the world, you definitely shouldn't read this when achieving that with Forest within such a small time frame counted from today on.

tomtuck01 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 There is nothing wrong with it at all in my opnion. The board are pleased with your achievement, but dont want you to rest of your laurels. Pretty simple really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13xForever Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 the board only care about £££/$$$ if you win everything they get money and can afford to pay Paris hilton to party on there yaught in Monaco. if they dont hassle you to win then you might not win and the board members dont want to settle for Jade Goody do they now!
