robbo3d Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Stafford rejected you! They accepted me on automatic. I loaded the Russian leagues and chose their start date so that it would be half way through most seasons and there would be more jobs available and managers under pressure.

Charlesbeams Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 i probably should have done the same, and i actually might, there only seems to be brazil division 3 jobs available right now. done;) waiting for it to load there was less jobs, but its closer to the end of the season, so more will turn up soon. ahh i just realised when i started again with the russia start date, i forgot to chose the leagues haha, so there wasnt as many. 3rd time lucky:rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesbeams Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 right so i went on holiday last night and didnt get any job offers, but i didnt really do it for long. anyway, did it again today, and i got a few offers from the likes of Marine, Gateshead and Tiverton, which i rejected. then i got an offer from Workington, so i decided to Delay, to see if anything else came up, and it did, i was then offered the job at Thurrock, who would pay me less, but have a better wage budget, so i negotiated with them on my wages, i was going to accept it, BUT a last minute offer came in from Sutton, who.....will pay less, but have a better wage budget, bigger stadium, and alot better media prediction.

My game is getting a bit slow now but I'm in 2027 and I'm really enjoying it. It's probably about time I set myself some long term goals before thinking about ending my game on a reasonable date.

ToMexico!! Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 2012 - Colchagua CD - Primera B - Chile Jonas Holmberg and Colchagua CD moved into 2012 with hopes of building a mid tabled team through some consolidation. That was achieved, never looked out of sought or depth throughout the league. My main struggle was the defence, we leaked like colander. Media Prediction - 11th from 12 Transfer Budget - Yet again, same old story Wage Budget - 2.84k per week As i said above, we leaked so many goals it was unreal. Yeh we cancelled those goals out with our own but the amount of games where my defence went into hiding in the second half was just lame. I would need 4 hands to count the amount of games where we gave up first half/early second half leads and threw them away. Same as last season of course the league was split into 4 phases and for the first time i will post a table of each phase to show some sort of progression as the season went on. Phase One Phase Two Phase Three Phase Four So a 8th, improved 6th, level par 7th and a 5th place finish amounted to a final seventh placed finish We had used Colo Colo again as to borrow as many players as we could, O'Higgins my actual parent club are pants Transfers Squad+Stats Top Scorer Gallardo - 25 Top Assist Gallardo and Ortega both 15 MOM Salinas - 6 Ave Rating Vargas - 7.46 We lost a fair amount this season, mainly due to the current stadium build and being just slightly over the wage bill. Things will improve soon as we compete in the league thus bringing more fans into the stadium. Finances Aims for next season Improve defence Run at a profit Don't concede as many, better the 5 clean sheets we had. :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zellix Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hey guys. Decided to give a career game a chance since I've just finished another most interesting challenge. I've found it really impossible to get a job though being turned down by Stranraer who I had my heart set on, lots of small teams I've never even heard of in Brazil and Stafford which would have been good. Anyway I've had an offer from Parnahyba in Brazil who are currently 4th in the Brazilian Nation Third Division First Stage Group 13th and they're predicted to finish 4th too (I don't get why they sacked their manager then...). They've offered me a contract at £475 a week and a wage budget of 1.4k which I think they've already eaten up unfortunately. I'll probably see if I get any other offers (delay) but do you guys think this sounds good? It looks a good challenge though. Edit: I've just been offered the job at Esportivo on £400 a week with a nice 5.25k a week wage budget. Unfortunately though they're in 8th place with just 6 points from 10 games.

dafuge Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 2026/27 Season Review Middlesbrough - Premier League After escaping relegation again last season I knew this season had to be different. League Table League Positions Graph Pleased, but also a bit gutted that I couldn't challenge for a Champions League place. My old club Wycombe had their revenge as they won the FA Cup on penalties meaning I will be in the Intertoto Cup rather than the UEFA Cup. Squad Transfers Here's the major transfers: Xabier Martinez - signed as a backup striker he had a decent season, could even become a first choice Danilo - bought for £825k and became a wonderkid within months, possibly my greatest signing ever. He just runs the show from midfield but constantly complains about moving to a bigger club, thankfully I have just encouraged him to sign a new contract. Kees Hendricks - as you can see I sold Strand for £18.75m as I though he wasn't the one to take the target man role in my tactic. He immediately became a wonderkid, gutted. This new lad seems to be doing well though. Job News Just signed a new three year contract so I'm hoping I can bring a major trophy to the club before moving on. Uruguay - Copa America This was my first internation job so I was pretty excited to play in this competition. It got me some pretty great scouting knowledge anyway. Group Stages: Chile Venezuela Brazil Group Table Pretty gutted to go out like that, especially when I was 3-0 up against Brazil. I resigned as manager of Uruguay. I then got asked to reconsider my resignation, which I thought was odd. When considering it, I thought I'd have a look at what games they had coming up and to my surprise their next fixture was the Copa America quarter final. Group Table It seems that without realising I had actually qualified, when I took the screenshots there must have been games left which made me think I was out. Quarter Final Not quite sure how we won this but it was a fantastic result. Semi Final Should have been a lot easier than we made it. Final Gutted. I've resigned again.

robbo3d Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Macclesfield - Coca Cola League One 2015-2016 Media Prediction: 24th Transfer Budget: 45k Transfers I was finally given some money for transfers but chose not to spend a penny. I decided that on the whole, i would stick with the team i had. This was harder than i thought as my chairman again sold off my star striker, this time Nile Ranger was the one to be shown the door. To replace him, i brought in Keiran Agard from Walsall on a free and he has turned out to be a fantastic purchase. Another signing was Tom Taiwo who added some quality and experience to the midfield. Two young players were also signed as i continued to look to the future. Ellis Walker and Andrew Oxley were the players signed. However, as January rolled round, many players were looking at moves to bigger clubs. Liam Kelly had finally forced his way into the first team but handed in a transfer request. When a 425k bid from Notts Forest came in, the chairman accpeted and another first team player was on his way. Transfers League My first match in League 1 was an interesting one, a 5-4 victory over MK Dons. This was a sign of things to come in a season where i scored many but let in even more. The season started well and i remained in the playoff zone until the end of September. After that, the season went more to expectations and i failed to challenge for a playoff spot. I never looked like being drawn into a relegation battle, finishing 13 points above the bottom four in 16th. Cups League Cup:1st Round (Knocked out by Walsall) FA Cup:2nd Round (Knocked out by Northampton) Johnstones Paint Trophy:Finalists(Beaten by Ipswich) Again I led Macclesfield to the final of the JPT and again, we were beaten. Jemaine Johnsons sending off in the 18th minute gave Ipswich a penalty and ended any real hope of us winning the tropy. Ipswwich converted the spot kick and 2 more goals put them 3-0 up. We got back into it, pulling it back to 3-2 but it was not to be and we lost the match 5-3. Summary A good season of consolidation. Our finances are great now and I am happy with the majority of the team. A number of young players are improving and could challenge for the first team in years to come. The only problem is that quite a few players are attracting interest from bigger clubs and it could be hard to hang onto them. Squad Last seasons aims - Avoid relegation in League 1 - ACHIEVED - Make the 4th round of a major cup - FAILED - Make the area final of the JPT - ACHIEVED Next seasons aims - Keep hold of most of the current team - Consoldiate in league 1 and improve on last seasons 16th place - Make the 4th round of a major cup - Make the area final of the JPT Career so far 2007-2008 Stafford Rangers BSP - 16th (Took over in March) 2008-2009 Stafford Rangers BSP - 12th 2009-2010 Stafford Rangers BSP - 13th 2010-2011 Macclesfield BSP - 4th (Took over in October, beaten in playoff semi) 2011-2012 Macclesfield BSP - 2nd (Playoff winners) 2012-2013 Macclesfield League 2 - 15th 2013-2014 Macclesfield League 2 - 22nd 2014-2015 Macclesfield League 2 - 2nd (Promoted) 2015-2016 Macclesfield League 1 - 16th Honours 2010 Setanta Shield winners (Stafford) 2012 BSP Playoff Winners (Macclesfield) 2015 League 2 Runners Up (Macclesfield) 2015 JPT Runners Up (Macclesfield) 2016 JPT Runners Up (Macclesfield) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zellix Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Season Review I decided to take the job at Parnahyba SC (does anybody know any websites or anything about these guys? I couldn't even find them on Wikipedia, only where they are based in Parnaiba) but that was the dullest season I have ever had on FM but I'm happy now. You get a mere 14 games in a season to progress through the first stage and unfortunately when I joined the club it was impossible to qualify. On the very day I joined we had a game, which we drew. I then reshaped the squad busting the existing 4.5k a week wage budget with players costing 10k per week. We won the next two games 4-0 and 4-1 but the whole team were then moaning about no first team football (since their was non, as we failed to qualify). The two wins knocked us up to fourth place in the league. The new season changes over on January the first with the new fixtures and expectations being added. We are currently spending 8.85k on wages but have had our budget pushed up to 9.5k for the option less than consolidation, which is "Don't be outclassed too often". They offered me an extension to keep me at the club until December 2009 on the same wage. All in all I'm happy with what I have although I need to bring in another centre back who is very good in the air and possibly another striker. First up in the season is the Piaui state championship which should give us at least 14 games and starts on 16th of January, so we've booked a friendly and our parent club also booked a friendly with us which I'm looking forward to to gain match practice for the lads (unfortunately our parent club did get relegated though). Things looks promising however as we have had about 8 friendlies and 3 leagues games and are unbeaten thus far, drawing only two. 2007-2008 | Parnahyba SC | 4th Brazilian Third Division First Stage Group #13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
