lolleyj Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeh, Now the hardest part, i need 10 players in this Summer. its hard when in conf S/N, As people who are good for the division still look crap, so sometimes ure looking for quality, and think hes crap, when in reality hes better than 90% of players in that division..

lolleyj Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 HAHAHHAHAH Im a Genius!

robbo3d Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Right, one last update before i go to bed myself. Now in October and things have got a little more difficult. Injuries and suspensions are creeping in, we have more than enough players to cope but id much rather be playing my first eleven. We've actually been playing quite well but havent been getting the results we've deserved. Other than the defeat at Bury and a loss at Halifax, we have bee the better side. But too often we have drew games we should have won. Currently, we lie 5th and i am quite happy with that. Rushden are walking the league and are already 12 points clear after only 15 games but a playoff spot is becoming increasingly likely. Anyway, time for bed. I'll read through your review when i'm next on and continue with Stafford on sunday. Edit - Yes you are a genius, ill have to remember that one!

lolleyj Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Btw on 07, i could get loads of frinedlies and make loads of money playing foreign teams in mini competitions at my ground, but they never accept on 08, any help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo3d Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Try aiming lower with friendlies. Invite championship level teams. You will still fill your ground and they should accept. if they dont, try the top league 1 sides. I can usually get the lower prem and top championship sides to accept so for BSS it may be a litle lower. Night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 right, ive had a quick look at my squad. some changes will have to me made, there is no Centre Mids, all Right Wingers, or Defensive Midfielders, but im sure i can sort that out, either from an affiliate, free transfers, or other loans. i will also need to bring in a replacement/better Right and Left back, aswell as a good Striker or 2. my Affiliate is Arezzo, some Serie B side, who i have 1 or 2 players from already i think, but ill be looking at getting a few more, or getting a new Serie A affiliate . there is only a Chairman, Me, Physio and Scout, so ive placed adverts for other positions, i really need an Assistant Manager, the only bad thing with adverts is hardly any unemployed staff apply, so i'd need to pay out loads of compensation, hopefully they will though, or if not, i can bring in an Assistant Manager and then search for unemployed staff. finances dont look too good, about 55k or something, and my transfer budget is about 5k haha. anyway, ive been brought in on the day of a match, against Sochaux Reserves, so i've put together a team based on who i think is best, and playing 4-3-3, because of the lack of midfield players, and more attacking players. ill update after the match. haha wtf, Sochaux have Henry not that it matters, i scored after 27 seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 i found it tough to get a job when i chose sunday league footballer, the one up from that usually helps. i lost my first game 2-4 my defence wasnt good at all, and one of my loanees got injured for up to 2months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 As an 'Unproven' manager not even the random Brazil 3rd Division clubs want me. I think its because I'm English...Bigots It can be pretty hard getting a job with the lowest starting reputation. You could either raise your reputation or be prepared to wait a while. I started with the lowest reputation and it took until March to get an offer, which was from St Albans in the BSS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatski Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks for letting me know. Dafuge you seem to have done pretty well so hopefully I can get a job, I dont mind if its in BSS/N. But if I havent got one I want by the time the season's over, I'll try raising it up one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The chairman strikes again accepting yet another bid for one of my strikers, this time it is Haydn Bradbury. I can't really complain too much this time though, the bid he's accepted is for £13m and he won't negotiate an extension to his current 3 year contract anyway. While writing this, he's accepted another bid, of £20m. Unfortunately both of these bids have come from clubs I should be challenging with for promotion from the Championship.

dafuge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 He chose the club who bid £13m I also wish he would negotiate a sell on clause when selling my best youngsters, the striker he sold last year for £4.6m has just transferred for £24.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 ahh the stupid chairman accepts the bid thing, so annoying when that happens. unlucky, that guy looks pretty good. and the worst part is, you lost out on a possible £7m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 He's now just accepted a bid of £6m for my star right back. Luckily I was able to negotiate a contract extension with his so I won't be losing him as well. I was considering whether this would be my last season with Wycombe, he's making my decision a bit easier to make. Pretty ridiculous to be accepting bids like this just to bring money into the club since due to my reputation there's not a lot I can do with it.

Yes, despite all my work Wycombe still only have a regional reputation meaning I can't really attract the best players. I have to rely on gambling on youngsters and signing cheap foreigners.

Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 ive signed quite a few players, there seems to be alot of free talent hanging around in italy, i wanted to get Massimo Maccarone, but he wanted too much money. just played my first competitive game in the Serie C Cup, in a game again Pisa, who are in Serie C1/A, im in Serie C2/B, and i got a draw which im quite happy with, my keeper was good, and my new Centre Mid got man of the match and you'll find a job at somepoint fatski, i went a whole season without a job haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatski Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 sounds good charles...lets hope for a good cup run! I'm not sure I can cope going the whole season. I think if I get past March with no job I'll move my rep up one, if that's allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 i won my second game , i need to finish top of my group to get to the first round, the cup format is weird, 22 groups with 5 in each group, top teams go through to the first round, then it works like a knock-out round i think haha. still getting a few more players in, just thinking about my wage budget. yeah i dont think it matters if you start over with a different rep, i think a few people have done it already. and it does get boring waiting for a job offer, i went on holiday and did that apply for jobs, and come back from holiday when i get an offer.

Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 haha, yeah they will most likely be a newly promoted side, i hate getting offers from them aswell, although i think thats where i am now, but they had some non-grey, non-youth players aswell, and ive brought in a few more now, just gone over my wage budget after signing Patrick Berger as a coach. £0 p/w wages, i wouldnt go either. playing my first league game now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesbeams Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 haha that was short, i think thats a record number of days at the club, the record thread says 8 or something, you should post it there. but thats not good, you lost and resigned you should have atleast stayed til the end of the season, although i can kinda see why you would quit, with a £15 wage budget. im doing well ok in italy, not lost a competitive game yet only played about 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatski Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I know it was really impatient of me, but honestly, you have no idea how bad it was. 2 strikers who were horrific. And nothing else.
