  1. Mmmm. I would have thought that at least, in game, the owners would be looking to sell.
  2. No, I mean in game. Is the club up for sale in game, do they get taken over, or are the Glazers happy to keep the club
  3. What is the situation with the board/takeover? Do the Glazers stay in charge or do Utd get a takeover fairly quickly?
  4. Not sure if this has been mentioned or not. I have started a few games in England now. Exactly the same leagues loaded (I load a lot) and a large database. Sometimes I get around 125k players loaded in the database and other times only about 86k. Anyone else finding a discrepancy in the amount of players loaded?
  5. I had similar. Started last night as Real Madrid. Quite a lot of the squad complained that we didn’t have enough depth in attacking midfield. I told them that I was happy with the depth - I’m not even playing with an attacking midfielder! 90% of the squad angry with me.
  6. So, I bought from CD Keys - early access included in the version I bought. Game key taken by steam, yet no option to install. First time I have bought FM from CD Keys - will be the last too!
  7. Hopefully today. Am on holiday to Spain from Saturday for the half term week. Would love to get the game installed and set up, then I can picture myself sitting by the pool, drinking Pina Colada’s while playing FM24. Perfect.
  8. Right from CM the original for me. I went in the shop to buy Birds of Prey for the Amgia (I did buy it a few months later) - came out with Championship Manager. Returned it 3 days later as I couldn't get it working - the guy in the shop asked if I had formatted the floppy discs as it said to - oops. Versions blur into one for me - but things that stick out: Around an hour to set up the game on the Amiga when it first came out. CM Italia - awesome, being able to manage the likes of Baggio and Batistuta Whichever version had the Diablo tactic. CM with arrow right forward to the strikers - unbeatable tacitc. Freddy Adu being god-like Losing my GF at the time as I played too much CM Had a mate at school who got signed for Northampton - signing him and watching him become a not very good player Ah, memories.
  9. Communication is key in any business or industry. The fact that Miles, and the team, have come out and owned the fact that FM23 isn’t really as good as it should have been is highly commendable. As someone said above after reading all that I am already excited for FM25. The fact they have also communicated well that FM24 will be an improvement but the massive leap comes with FM25 is brilliant too - we know where the series is headed. Cant wait. Well done SI 👍
  10. I just started a save with Brighton. Great fun at the moment - some really good players if I can manage to keep hold of them. Just need to try and find a striker - I know we have Ferguson but want someone to lead the line for the first couple of years.
  11. The first I can clearly remember is the Original Championship Manager, played it on the Amiga. I have played ever single version and sub version since. Some I like more than others. There was a game though that I used to play around my mates house. We were trying to think what it was called the other day, neither of us could remember. It was played on the Amiga too, so if someone can give me the answer I would be eternally grateful: Same sort of time as the original CM - so circa 1992 Was definitely out on the Amiga - not sure about others Made up names, no real names **EDIT** looks like it did have real names The only other thing I have to go on was that there was sound and when a goal went in the commentary sounded like 'Goal, lee Chapman' I don't think it was actually Lee Chapman, but it sounded like it. Long shot I know, but it really bugged us the other week. GOT IT: Football Masters on the Amiga. Still not sure what is says when they score - I'm going with Lee Chapman.
  12. No, thats okay. I re-read my remarks to you and thought they could have come accross not how I meant them too. I am currently re-reading Pairs and Combinations in the TTF, haven't read it for quite some time, hoping that I might be able to pick up a few bits I have missed from it. Will look out to see if you post anything on your Ten Hag system.
  13. I wouldn't say it is particularly specialised to be honest - not really sure though if I am being totally honest. I very rarely use what you would call specialised roles (RPM, F9's etc). Maybe it is just me being completely bad at adapting tactics? As I said, and this isn't a I can't win, I win the games by playing 'my' way. But you know, say as Man Utd - go to an away game against Madrid/Bayern etc and they are better than you. So I would then change to play that little deeper, a little narrower, nothing too extreme, but would just end up getting played off the park. So, I tend to just revert to my default style and hope it turns out okay. Not sure if that is making sense with what i want to say?
  14. Yet I find the opposite. If I have new players to bed in, or have converted to a new tactic then it takes a good 4 or 5 games for my team to start getting good results. We might scrape victories and wins, but it doesn't feel good until that familiarity is there.
  15. I wasn't trying to put words into your mouth - I am trying to understand this because it is bugging the hell out of me. Sorry, didn't mean to offend. My usual playstyle if I am a fairly decent team is shorter passing, a little wider width, counter press, higher line. If I play a 'better' team and I want to defend a little deeper, so drop the line to normal, go a little narrower - drop that to standard width and counter attack as I expect them to have most of the ball but feel my strikers can do some damage on the counter, then I inevitably end up getting mauled. I am usually better sticking with my standard playstyle and hoping I can beat them that way. I would say my changes are only a few tweaks - not going from one extreme to the other, yet it just doesn't work without that familiarity being top notch, so am wondering where the differences are that you find.
