Our main problem last season could well have been our tactic, I need to find a tactic that will work at this level as last season I was using the same we had used for the previous seasons and it obviously isn't working now at this level. The first game of the season finished Chesterfield 1-1 Tonbridge. Not a bad start but I feel that Chesterfield will be one of those teams near the bottom of the table this season so it could have been a missed chance for an easy away win, we didn't deserve the point, and that was my concern, Chesterfield had plenty of chances but their finishing let them down. Managed to get a few young south-africans who are joining next summer when they turn 18, I was surprised they were actually given work permits and both looks actually really good players. Our star player of the last two seasons Tommy Hoiland could be on his way out as well, we have already made a tidy profit so far in the summer and this sale will add to that, we have quite a few strikers now so I can afford to lose him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Truro City FC - League 2 - 2016/17 Media Prediction: 24th Actual Position : 13th No relegation battle in the first season, happy enough with that. Could have even got playoffs, only for not winning any of our last 9 games. Couldn't hold leads, and in many of the games we did win we were reliant on late late goals, so we'll definitely have to do that. We've gone fulltime so I obviously needed more coaches, gone for a good few foreign 1s with alot of knowledge of the European leagues. Didn't bother with beyond that, since the ones that would come to League 2 won't get work permits. Hoping for a promotion run next time League Table FA Cup 3rd Round away tie at Everton = rich!!!!!

Terk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 That's a good, solid first season in league football, CSF I'm now halfway through my Championship season and we're sitting 10th, but only three points behind 1st placed Coventry. The top half this season is ridiculously tight. We're on a brilliant run, 8 wins in 9 games, and my £2M signing from Villa, Raymond Auassar has started scoring for fun. Starting to get hopeful that we can make a push for the play-offs over the second half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugSafc Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Just a kit sponsorship of £5.88m per season. Not bad, at least the £11m from sponsorships a season will pay for a couple of months wages. Better than my 43k per season But, I remember when I was FC United on FM09, and when we were in League 1, we secured a sponsorship deal worth £10m per season Bit stupid that when that ran out, we were challenging for the Premiership and we ended up getting one for about £2m per seasom :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hmmm looks like I may need to regain promotion to the Premiership this season as I am currently losing £2m a month - £1m in, £3m out a month - £1m on wages and £1m on transfers even with 90% attendance rates - though I did raise £9m by cashing in my 50% of next fee on Maidana - Man Utd don't play him and his value is dropping so I took the £9m as I doubt they'll sell him for more than £20m. After 20 games we are 7pts at the top of the Championship but with January approaching the computer is tapping up my players again and my season could be destroyed if too many players are poached or upset - I just got all my players happy again by offering them new contracts in the summer, I cannot afford to do it twice a year.

aeropaus Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hastings United - 2019/2020 - Coca-Cola Championship I was semi-optimistic coming into this season, as the previous year we had developed a solid core and the team progressed markedly as the season drew to a close. I wasn't this optimistic though... Season Summary - 1st What a year. We had a board takeover attempt in early July, which unfortunately took absolutely forever, until it was finally completed in early November. This meant we couldn't make any additions over the summer period, meaning most of the season we played with a squad of 20 or so. We lost our main centre-back for £2 million after the board decided it was too good a deal to refuse, and then our other one, John Hessel, disappeared in January as he didn't want a new contract and was about to go on a free, but Chelsea offered £1.3 million for him so he went there instead. I was really gutted to see both go as they were two top quality centre-backs who played really well the previous season together and formed a big part of that core we were hoping to lean on. Luckily, our weak backline wasn't enough to drag us down. We flew out of the gates in the first half of the year, amassing an epic lead at the top of the table, and held on throughout most of the year to win comfortably. We scored over 100 goals, which is all down to continuity in our midfield and striker positions. Final Table League Positions - Graph League Cup - 2nd Round Second Round again, this time losing to League 1 Bournemouth 2-1 away. FA Cup - 3rd Round A bit flat this year, bowing out to a late goal in a 1-0 loss to Leicester. ---- Squad - We're desperate for a backline, it's a must get in the summer. Midfield and up front will probably stay in tact though, we've developed some wonderful partnerships in those areas. Finances - Biggest profit yet, again driven largely by player sales. Transfers - I spent over £5 million on a centre back who my scouts labelled as the next Terry Butcher (he's only 17) and whom they agreed had a good potential ability rating. It's a gamble, but we still lack good youth facilities so while our stadium is still small it's one which hopefully could pay off for us. ---- Key Players Bruno Sanz - The speedster of our frontline duo. This guy was just totally destructive, scoring 26 goals and is attracting massive interest from equally massive clubs. Hope we can hold onto him long term. Manuel Diaz - The other Spaniard in our forward partnership; the thunder to Bruno Sanz' lightning. 22 goals from him, and second only to Sanz in overall rating. Anej Lovric - Our best midfielder, a real rock in the middle who allows his midfield partner Rik Adema to play creatively. --- Around the Leagues Man Utd are getting used to Europa League football, missing out on the top 4 again. The Glazers seem to want to bail too, listening as they are to offers. Chelsea's dominance of the league was ended as Everton took the title. Exeter enter the Championship next season as they finished second in League 1, while Crewe failed to progress from League 2 again. York City did however after winning the division, reaching the dizzy heights of League 1.

Almondo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Boston united season 13 2022/23 League Table 1, League Table 2 Position Graph final position - 11th Another good showing in the league considering some of the teams that we were facing. Namely Fulham, Middlesborough and Crystal Palace. 11th isn't really the position we deserved but the end of season run in saw us throw awayh the chance for a playoff place and drop down. However the start of season expectation was fulfilled. I think the shock of the season has to be Reading being relegated to League 2. Cups not the best of showing here. Going out in the first round of the league cup and Johnstones paint trophy. We did do slightly better in the FA cup going out in the 2nd round. FA Cup League Cup Johnstone's Paint Trophy Transfers Only two players brought in this year. Just to shore up the back line really although I think we'll need a new left back as Basey is getting a bit long in the tooth now. Key Players Marcus Higgs Brought in to partner Nicholas in Defence Oliver Nicholas Once again a rock in defence. Worked well with Higgs Aidan Campbell An ever present striker again.

I hope they enjoy their £1M whilst we're playing in the Championship next season, short sighted ****ers. Reminds me when I was in League One, challenging for the title having signed a quality pair of wingers and a centre-back to match in the summer. The centre-back was sold off above my head for roughly half of what he was worth (although I lated resigned him on a free when I made the Championship), but at least it was to a club in the division above. The board sold the left-winger, my highest ave rating and highest assist provider to my direct promotion rivals, for, again, roughly half of what he was worth, on the morning of my match against them :mad: Still riles me even now! I think if I wasn't participating in the challenge I would have resigned out of principle. We managed to beat our rivals on the day, but couldn't compete with them over the second half of the season without those two players and limped in in second place. If we'd fallen into the play-offs there's no way we'd have won them with our form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had the problem of a player being sold from under me since setting their asking prices above what I would accept for them, you then generally don't get the offers (and therefore the board accepting them) unless you would snap their arm off anyway. For example, I had a key striker, DM and pair of wingers who were instrumental in me getting out of the Championship. I set each of their asking prices to £10m and although I had interest, not one bid was lodged.

PVentress Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Kings Lynn - Barclays Premier League - 2020/21 - Season 11 Following our 4th placed finish last season, Kings Lynn were venturing in to Europe for the very first time, I did not think the squad would be strong enough yet to challange on all fronts so the priority was to maintain our place among the top 4 in order to preserve our participation in the Champions League in the coming years, the money this generates will prove invaluable for both squad building and working towards a new stadium. We were also looking to defend the League Cup, although that competition is now much lower in the priorities than before. We made somne decent moves in the transfer market and focused on improving the defence as this was a key area for continued success. We started again inconsistently didnt get ourselves up into the top 4 of the league until the season was nearly 20 games old, even after this we still proved to be highlry inconsistent and fluctuiated between 3rd to 6th for the remainder of the season, finally confirming a 4th place finish with 1 game to spare. So job done in the league and we can look forward to further Champions League participation next season. In the cups it was a very mixed back, In the League Cup as holders a strong team was put out, unfortunatley they all forgot to play and a painful early exit was certainly not in the script. The FA Cup and Champions league were very different stories, In Previous seasons we had barely made a ripple in the FA Cup, however this year we had a turbulent run to the final, including 3 replays before meeting Man Utd in the Final. The Champions League was truly a fairytale in the making, unfancied at the start and really only focussing on making some money and gaining experience we had a rollercoaster ride all the way to the Semi-Finals, where sadly we were taught a lesson by the mighty AC Milan who put us out 5 - 2 on aggregate, 1st Leg, 2nd Leg League Table League Positions Graph Transfers Squad Key Players Victor Bernal - Still a Rock at the back and has kept his place despite others being boughtto replace him, came back fighting for his place.

Also still need to try and save some funds to try and force a new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 How much did your original new stadium cost? £188m seems a lot of money. £188m does seem expensive now I think about it, my first stadium cost just £16.25m for a 17111 seater. It is taking twice as long as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugSafc Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Back from college so going to play on FM for most of the night now When I turned off last night we were in some decent form and we were sitting joint 2nd, although in a few games this season we have gave away a few late goals, and missed out on 4 or 5 points doing this already, and I will need to fix this before it hinders our promotion chances.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Raymond Auassar, who I bought for £2M from Aston Villa in the summer, has just been the subject of a £4M bid from Atletico Madrid. The board have stepped in over my head and accepted it. I understand that £2M profit in six months in nice, but think big picture, you ****ers, we're setting ourselves up for a promotion run and you sell my best player from under me! This could tear my season apart.Oh yeah, and add to that the fact that there was a 25% sell on fee, and we actually only make £1M profit. I hope they enjoy their £1M whilst we're playing in the Championship next season, short sighted ****ers. My Brazilian Winger Dario turned down a £10m move to Austria after my chairman accepted the offer for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefc22 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 HE'S BACK Well, after around 5 reloads, I decided to take the first team which looked inviting to me.....Guiseley. Yes, I managed these last year in my attempt where I reached the glorious highs of the BSP (which I was top off when I gave up). I have chosen 'Avoid Relegation' as this is the only feasible option with 'Attempt to...' getting me sacked if I fail it ofc. Transfer Budget: £0 - Well, I didn't expect anything Wage Budget: £5.5K a week - That's alright Season Hopes: Avoid Relegation, Build up the Finances with some good cup runs. Points total to aim for: 50 (should keep me up) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerish Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Sorry I'm a bit late to the party guys. I've had a longer than anticipated three year break from FM, and I've decided to throw myself in at the deep end with Oxford City: 1. Please excuse the poor picture, but Mandela is indeed my homeboy. 2. Any simple advice for a prodigal son? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeropaus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 2. Any simple advice for a prodigal son? IMO best advice in the first year or so, just attack attack attack with a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3, get lots of pace and use player interaction to keep morale up. That's half the battle really imo.

I would go for players with pace, like someone said in this thread to me, finishing isn't that essential as to what pace is in the lower leagues for strikers etc CB's with good heading ability is also very important for lower leagues and also look at released players from Celtic and Rangers from 2nd July Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibond Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Sutton United - Blue Square Premier - 2011/2012 Started off the preseason by buying 6 or 7 players who I thought would perform better in the league. After a decent run of results in our friendlies, the players went on to start the season off with an unbeaten run of 26 games in the league which lasted until December. Just like last season towards the middle of the season we started drawing too many games, and just played "average" until the end of the season really. This saw us drop what was like a 20 point lead over Luton to an eventual 2 point win. Luton was absolutely ridiculous too, they just hardly ever lost games, especially near the end of the season. I swear they had at least 2 or 3 9 game win streaks. As for cup runs, we didn't get anywhere in the FA Cup again, but we did manage to beat Luton in the FA Trophy. This was great for our finances. Last season the the BSS we lost around 400k, but we were standing about even this season. But after winning the FA Trophy it finally pushed us back into the positives. Also, on the youth side of things, I didn't get any good ones through our system. However, I invested in 10 or so throughout the season on $150 p/w contracts and loaned most of them out. Hoping that a few of them will turn into decent players or at least provide me with the opportunity to earn some money by transfer. League Table League Positions Graph Transfers Squad List Key Players Steve Irwin - Former Liverpool youngster, this DM played great for me and looks to have a good bit of potential for the years to come. Jordy Brouwer - Another great youngster I picked up from Liverpool. Was absolutely fantastic scoring a large portion of my goals. Jack Lampe - Defender who I picked up at the start of this challenge, but really came into his own this season. Was a force to be reckoned with in the air. Looks to have a huge upside too. 504/631 Headers Won/Attempted Career Overview Season League Position Achievements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2010/2011 Blue Square South 1st Champions, Promotion 2011/2012 Blue Square Premier 1st Champions, Promotion, FA Trophy Winners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermybhoy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well after a long spell under the influence of Civ 4, I'm finally into FM10. As such, back in business with a Guiseley save started many moons ago but which had barely got past August. Trouble is, it's now going horribly wrong. Sit 2nd bottom, 6 from safety. On a mammoth run of 12 games without a win. Only won once and drawn 3 times all season. Morale is rock bottom; nearly every player is 'poor' or worse. Slowly bringing in players who I (and more importantly the scouts and coaches) think are better but they too, tend to have low morale the minute they arrive. So far I've tried - home friendlies with minnows to get big wins; won both 2-1 and in each case ended up hanging on for even that, so negligible effect on morale - offering new contracts. No effect, none. - fiddled with tactics; playing attacking, defensive, counter, short, long...all variations on my trusted 4-4-2 granted, but no discernable difference in our threat going forward, ability to pass, or defend... So while this is partly a moan about my incompetence, any words or advice? Or is it beyond help and should start again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Don't give in bermy! Us Guiseley boys need to stick at it Try calling a meeting to talk about underachievement. On another note, I think we have a first for challenges....... Has anyone's first goal with the challenge club come from their goalkeeper? I didn't think so. Well, Johny Lund has just netted a 70 yarder against Leeds to score my first ever goal with Guiseley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean824 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Bradley King - Wealdstone After reloading for nearly 2 hours hoping for either Harrow or Truro, Wealdstone got promoted, which is basically Harrow area anyway! Been given a £7k transfer budget - which is pretty surprising - and a wage budget of £4.2k p/w for avoiding relegation. My first trying out this challenge, and my first time ever using attribute masking, so this should be entertaining! Manager profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
