danielmetcalf Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Following Wolves’ financial crisis that saw the club enter into an administration battle, Danish legend Peter Schmeichel decided to buy out the remaining stake belonging to the club. After over a month of FA meetings and court discussions it was decided that the club will be allowed to participate in the Premier League the following season. Schmeichel shocked Wolves fans as he announced the descision to move the club location, change the name, board, staff and players completely. The newly formed ‘Three Rivers FC’ are now based in Hertfordshire based around the district area Three Rivers. The club have a new 40,000 seater stadium with under-soil heating and have local rivalries with Luton Town and Watford as well as rivalries with London giants Chelsea and Arsenal. Because of Schmeichels project to ’start the club from scratch’ the team now has no players available to use. Peter Schmeichel also wants a brand new manager, one that perhaps has not had much experience but he says he will give him the resources he needs to build up his own squad. Football media and fans alike all seem very shocked but excited about this new concept from Peter Schmeichel who says he aims to make the Hertfordshire club one of the best in England. Peter was also quick to get some sponsors using his Danish links. The club announced that the club’s main sponsor would be Carlsberg. He has also set up a number of affiliates that will benefit the club with Standard Liege, Cardiff City and Brøndby. Peter also used his Danish links to help sort out the backroom staff with Martin Laursen joining as assistant manager and the Laudrup brothers coming in as directors. -------------------------- You have £100M to spend Database: Download Kits: Download Logo: Download * Kits by Kerlonmoura and Logo by XeroX Note: Place the xml file in my documents/sports interactive/football manager 2010/editor data When you start up new game make sure you tick the change option whilst using the default database, then make sure three rivers fc is ticked on the next screen.

Failed to find good coach with english nationality, so my personnel will be very international. Trying to make first signings of players. I will report tomorrow.

I also signed David Suazo and he did pretty good, hope he manages to do well for you ; ) I still need a couple more defenders, but I'll be nice and ask the board at Christmas for a little bit more. Played Man City first game and drew 2-2 (Suazo and Hangeland scoring), got Chelsea next.. As for the English players, Clyne has gone out on loan for 6 months, as I've got a French youngster to play backup for Srna, and Clyne is still a bit raw. Think Riquelme will do the job for me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i will back the maker of this dtabase by putting the finances high. I havent downloaded yet but will when i get home after xmas, howevver from what ive read finances are high simply because their are no players. Id like to see someone build a premiership winning team with no existing set up for less than £100M. I rekon it would take a really good manager to even get a team with the ability to stay in the premiership with less than that with the current FM transfer system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanizator Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 wardog, my squad costed me 122,5 mln euro and made 16th place in premiership in the first season. And I must say that I am very very poor tactician in FM2010. Good specialist in tactics can reach euro qualification place, no doubt. Moreover, Jovetic costed 22 mln euro was only 8th best player in my squad. It is not necessary to buy such expensive players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavericktangoII Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Akos Buzaky at QPR can do a job in PL and can be got for around £3.5M, Arsenal and Everton have a few that are not far off PL ready.

danielmetcalf Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 I spent just over £100M and managed to finish 13th in my first season, in this year's FM it's harder to buy better players in my opinion and very hard for them to gel.

i3rooker Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 My team managed to loose all their friendlies to **** teams like Exeter etc. I also ran out of time and didnt make enough signings before the window so im gonna do it again. My main target is Soldada as on my Liverpool game he was banging in 20+ goals a season in La Liga for Getafe in 30 games. Also Salvio is a good buy.

iamjerome Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 i started this game too i've just finished the first window. here's my transfers in (nearly all were over 48mths): leading to my first team: as you can see i'm being slightly 'avant-garde' with this i'm using rivaldo, litmanen and aldair to tutor a couple of the young'uns and i'll be training james milner into being a MC. i've also got beckham and jordan spence coming in for peanuts at the start of the next season so i'll then have 6 englishmen. i will also buy phil jagielka when he's back from injury around december time. 4 games into the season atm, 1 win (a 1-0 win at home over chelsea no less) and 3 draws against everton, man utd and aston villa away, home and away respectively. tough bloody start! as the team gels i hope we can get a good run going, pleased with having 6 pts from those first 4 games anyway.
