blowcrapup Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I forgot to mention I set my rep at Semi-Pro footballer as I hate managing in the lowest leagues. Finally on the 8th of March I finally got offered a job. Meet the new Stockport manager Erich Seyss. A young man of English/Austrian descent. After 35 games Stockport are 21st in League 2. They have Won 9 Drawn 8 and Lost 18. With 35 points they are 4 points clear of the relegation zone. I'll keep you updated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Can anyone recommend a nation similar to Guam or American Samoa, or do they get better over time as you win games ect. Yeah any way what's a good low, really low nation to start as . Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah any way what's a good low, really low nation to start as . Cheers It depends on what you are looking for long term. I had a game when I started in the MLS and won it twice with Dallas but I couldn't get a job above league 2 in England. If you intend to move around a lot you will find it quite hard as it can be difficult to raise your rep to get better jobs. I'd go for Hong Kong as based on the other leagues you mentioned its a similar level. You could try India as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowcrapup Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Cheers. 2007/08 Season Update I didn't get offered my first job until Stockport came along in March. After starting at 21st in the league with 11 games to go I managed to claw my way up to 18th by the end of the season. In the 11 games I was in charge for I Won 5 Drew 4 and Lost 2. I think next season, as long as I can replace the loaned players I had, I think I could be pushing for a playoff place next season. One problem is the club is nearly £250k in the red so this needs to be sorted ASAP. League Table Career History 2007/08 - Stockport - League 2 18th Honours None yet.... Aims for next season Top half of the table pushing for playoff spot. 3rd round of FA or League cup to ease money worries.

Peter G Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Okay i've debated about doing this many a times and i've had a couple of efforts that have resulted in nothing with Umedalen in the Swedish Lower league and Stafford Rangers in the Blue Square Premier. One thing that i did find highly amusing in my Stafford Rangers game was that i started in the South African leagues as Hannover Park. I then noticed that i was already £400p/w over my wage budget of a massive....... £365p/w. Noticing this when i tried to sign some players in place of my current players, all youth players. It came up with an error saying that it would destabalize the club if i bought anyone. Not being content i went to Stafford but found that mind numbingy boring. So my new career that i have just started includes a huge range of leagues, i hope to achieve success in all the countries that i have chosen and from the top of my head i can count about 10 countries: England, France , Germany , Italy , Spain , Argentina , Chile , Scotland , Hong Kong , Ukraine which i think is all of them. Anyway i started as a Semi-Professional , English manager and awaited some of the clubs to accept me. There were only two clubs that did approach me was two teams in the Hong Kong First Division, Tai Po and Workable. I accepted Tai Po and i am currently employing a strong defensive tactic which imploys a counter-attacking system. The defence seems to be working as in my 4 friendlies i kept two clean sheets and only conceded one goal in the others. In one of the ones that i kept a clean sheet, i scored 3.

Also for something a little different you can try playing without real players like I am. This means you have scout to find the best players and adds a lot to the game but its your choice. The most important thing is to make sure you can have fun with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowcrapup Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 2008/09 Season Update Well started the season predicted to finish 13th and ended up finishing 3rd so I exceeded my own aim of mid-table as well as my other goals, making a profit of about £2m. Hopefully can keep this up next season. I seem to have had a lot of players who were at least League 1 class already only needing to replace my goalkeeper. I think I can keep the side up next season but it could be close.

Have just played my first game, which went well, a 2-0 home win over Vibonese, my Argentine midfielder on loan from our parent club Salernitana scored them both.

We pulled off some shock results but were in the end relegated. My next job came in the form of Queen's University Belfast in the Northern Irish Second Division. After being tipped for a mid-table finish, I beat all odds to take us up a division, finishing second after leading the campaign most of the season. We are currently battling for a promotion spot in the First Division which could take us up to the Premier Division against the likes of Glenavon.

padmore_001 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Season 2007/08 Summary After taking the Redditch United job halfway through the season I have just completed the first season of my career. When I took over we were in the relegation zone and the board pretty much just wanted to stay up. I was hoping for more. That was a little optimistic, the squad was pretty poor and I struggled to make any quality additions to it. As you can see from the league though, we did manage to stay up. The board were pleased and they were particularly happy with the few signings I did manage to make. As for next season, I am already in pre-season and have had a complete overhaul of the squad. I'm happy with it although currently a bit on the small side. Anyway, gonna see how this season goes. Hoping to be up in the top half of the table and maybe even nick a playoff place. Maybe being a bit optimistic again but we'll see how it goes. Few Screenies Confidence Summary Profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo_123 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Started this with these nations loaded to the lowest league: Argentina Brazil Chile England Holland South Korea Started with a semi professional reputation, got a job offer straight away, this being from Vera Cruz FC. They were 7th in the Brazilian 3rd division when I took charge with 1 win from 4. I dunno why, I thought they had a decent squad. Still think there's room for improvement though . So I played my first game in charge away to Rio Negro C (AM), manged to come away with a 4-2 win away from home which I was chuffed about. Then I managed to loan 4 youngsters from my parent club Nautico. Danilo Lins, Odilon, Eduardo Bruno and Helton just in time for the home game against Coruripe. I went into the game confident we could win, at what a good win it was, new signing Danilo Lins scoring a hatrick in his first game for the club. We won comfortably 3-0.

Beneamata Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 OK folks, I've decided on my leagues and will be starting tonight or tomorrow. Incidentally, can someone tell me how to hyperlink my screenshot uploads so they have my text instead of photobucketblahblah....? Leagues will be - Brazil, Nat 1st England, down to L2 France, L1 Orange Germany, 1st Div Holland, Prem Italy, down to C2 Scotland, down to D2 and if I've counted correctly that should be 15 leagues (7 of them top divisions). I'm a worrier and I'm not totally confident I can run more than that efficiently. But at the same time there should be enough lower leagues in there to get me started and enough top leagues to let me move around later in the game. I've never managed in Germany before, the mid-season break always put me off. And Brazil too, so I'm really looking forward to managing there some time; but I'm going to leave that alone until I have a decent reputation that'll get me safely into another top division club because I've noticed the Brazilian clubs can be trigger happy with their bosses. Favoured clubs that I hope to get into at somepoint on my travels are - Brazil, Santos and Flamengo England, Wolves and Forest France, P.S.G. Germany, Eintracht frankfurt and Hertha Holland, Feyenoord Italy, Torino and Lucchese Scotland, P. Thistle, St. Mirren and Dundee Utd. and lastly, Inter - my first love and dream job. On the international scene I'm not too fussed if nothing ever turns up, at the moment anyway. If I got an interesting opportunity I'd re-consider. That's it for now. I'll be back. And please - how do you hyperlink the uploads??? EDIT - forgot to list Spain and decided to include Russia too seeing as I've never managed there.

seanefc Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Have decided to give a career one final go, this time with as realistic an approach as possible... Have started with the following divisions England - all divisions Germany - all divisions Italy - top two divisions France - top two divisions Spain - top two divisions Russia - top two divisions Portugal - top two divisions Holland - top division Brazil - top division Argentina - top division Mexico - top division Those leagues should give some variety... the plan is to build up a reputation and win the champions league, then move to south america at some point and win the Libertadoros. As might be obvious from the league selection, i am planning to start in the lower tiers of either England or Germany, i have started as 'real' as possible, being myself, with my own nationalitys, and my own football experience (sunday league ) Currently have 3 offers on the table two from BS N/S, and one from BSP, delaying all untill the end of the season, purely because i want to wait and see what happens in germany with the reshuffle of the league system in summer 2008 in to 3 national divisions and than a 4th division made up 3 parallel regional leagues (i think). There should hopefully be some new teams 'promoted' to become playable, might be a good place to look for a job. I think the leagues offer a good range of future challenges... for instance i would love to one day take a side like Luch Valdivostok from far eastern russia (by korea) to european glory, or win the champions league with Everton, and at some point take over a really massive club, like Real Madrid, or AC Milan, something i never really do on FM. It must be amazing to get a job like that after starting out at the very bottom, anyhow, we shall see how far i can get! (im planning not to buy FM2009 until the first patch anyway, so i might have quite a while, although i will probably change my mind and buy it the first week of release ) By the way, there are some excelent threads on here, have enjoyed reading through them.

seanefc Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Been restarting this over and over, keep changing my mind with teams... I find the lowest levels very difficult to get in to, all the players just seem very close together in terms of ability Starting again now, will go semi-pro this time, in the hope of starting in League 2 or something. I no longer care that 'sunday league' or 'automatic' are the 'proper' reputations to start with starting with a tiny club does my head in! on a more serious note, does anyone know wether the game takes in to account a managers nationality when determining which teams will hire you? In other words, if i did want to start with an Auto or Sunday League reputation with English as my nationality, would i be largely limited to English clubs?

crouchaldinho Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Seanefc, in my experience it has a minimal impact, especially at the lower levels. Seems to have an influence on international management and the big jobs at the highest level. I found, for instance, that bigger clubs in England would consider me than in Italy, France and Germany in one of my games. But there wasn't that much difference overall. Makes no difference, as far as I can see, when you're starting out. I've got lower league jobs in Italy with an English nationality just as easily as if it were BSN/BSS.

Leagues Loaded: Czech Republic: First Division England: League 2 upwards Germany: Division 3 upwards Hungary: Division 1 Italy: Serie C2 upwards Portugal: Bwin League Russia: Premier League Spain: Liga BBVA upwards Argentina: Premier Division Brazil: First Division Benevento Calcio - Italy - Serie C2/C After job hunting for around a month, I took the excelent offer on the table from Benevento in the Italien Serie C2/C. The date is 16th March 2008, and there are 7 games of the season remaining. It is imedietly apparent that this is a job with high expectations, Benevento had been predicted a first place finish in the league this season, and the board were asking from promotion in the next two years. Benevento currently sit 5th in the division in the final play off spot, 5 points behind leaders Catanzaro. Initial impressions of the squad are good, although a bit short in midfield and without a very good keeper. The best area is certainly up front with a couple of very good strikers, who are currently 2nd and 6th goal scorers in the division. The best area of the club is the finances, this is not a team which is short of money with 1.4m sat in the bank account, and a £750k transfer budget (some of which i may move over to wages) Aims: Serie C2/C - Make playoffs (winning the division is still obviously possible, but it may be a bit too ambitious for my first 7 games in charge) Benevento Squad screenshot is a bit late Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
