Nottingham Forest Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah, I'll need it. I haven't got the squad depth in order to arrange money spinning friendlies. So this pre-season will be about improving morale and getting the players used to my tactics. I've already got the board to improve junior coaching but it's still at minimal. I've also found a great assistant manager in Ian Breckin who is miles better than what I have and what any other clubs 2/3 divisions above us should have. If I can get him to join, I'll post a screenshot of him. I've also found a few good coaches as well and a decent scout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ian Breckin I should also add that I'm only spending £669 on players wages. So hopefully I should get enough to make a little profit each month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braumiller Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Unlucky braumiller, that last season must have been very fustrating with Holland injured and having to sell him for a deflated price of 8m is a bit of a kick in the teeth. I would imagine you will keep getting stadium delays in your inbox untill the date on the boardroom screen. I presumed the same as well ri916 in regards to the stadium, but November 22nd just rolled around and...... Ta Daaa!!! Then less than a week later our first home game rolls around in our new stadium. Unbelievably we were heading for our first 0-0 in well over a season, when in the 92nd min we nick a winner. That felt good, but not as good as a couple of news items afterwards Record Attendance, but massively Record Receipts!!!. Oh that is a hell of a bump. I now, finally am in a position where I could possibly start operating on a profit again. In which case hoping to ramp up the facility upgrades. 19 games into the season and I have yet to draw a game. There is my teaser for the season update which might be tomorrow night if I get some playtime tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braumiller Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Youth Intakes are always interesting and this one just potentially got VERY interesting. I have never had a 'son' in the game, but I have heard of it happening. This youth intake there is a 15 yr old MC who shares my surname and also has me (and one of my other coaches) listed in his favored personnel. Player Info - Player Report Is there anything definitive I should check to see if he is a son, or a naming coincidence? Worth noting, there are only 2 Talbott's in the game. Me and him. When he signed his youth deal this was the news. Mentions me as his idol, nothing regarding father. If he is my son, I suck at being an FM Dad! His personality is Low Self Belief........

Braumiller Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Weymouth FC Summary - Season 11 (2022-23) Well, file this season under "I should be happy, but....."! League Table says it all. 3rd, behind a rampant Leeds and Wolves (who both let their feet of the gas after securing promotion with 4 or 5 games to go), and then a play-off final loss at Wembley 3-2 to a Fulham side who had won 6 straight going into the game and were rampant. Truth be told 3-2 flattered us a little, but over the course of the season I really felt we had done enough to deserve promotion. Very telling that we were predicted 23rd place by the media at the start of the season, but as we gear up for 2023-24 they predict us 9th (the highest prediction of any year, in any division!). So I have very high hopes for promotion next season! But this years recap first and there was a lot happening. Close season we sold club legend Ray Holland for a club record 8m. The board agreed to and completed training and youth facility upgrades. We also got the news that our 15,965 capacity stadium had been delayed 6 months. Being relatively short on strikers we change formation for the first time since the BSN, going from a flat 442 to a 451 (AML, MC, MC, MC, AMR). I also purposefully got more assertive with my players and team talks. Now add all these changes up and I don't know which contributed how much to our good performances! We start the league year out with 6 straight wins (with a League Cup 1st round loss thrown into the mix). And quickly settled in to 2nd or 3rd place, until Wolves got on a roll and separated themselves. November 22nd 2022 saw the brand new Weymouth Stadium open and suddenly our game day income went up 3-fold. (Those are the old and new records, usually it was 70k a game and now it is 200-250k). Each of the last 5 months of the season saw us make a profit (unheard of for 10 years) and I finally feel like we belong in the division and we are not just punching above our weight. Youth Intake rolled around and a fantastic FC prospect came along and instantly found himself on my bench. We also saw the introduction of my son, Chris! Bless him, he is a little low on self belief (and ability, but sssshhhh) but no way I am letting him go. Transfers!!! After the initial heartbreak of a play-off final loss and being so close to the jackpot, I am very proud of this year. We are now a force in the league, we no longer have kids with potential, we have young men with ability.

Jambo98 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 unlucky braumiller sounds like quite a season though! I also have a full update to write but to late tonight.

Braumiller Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 John Bridge (YP 11a) Profile Information Coach Report Note, these screenshots are taken two weeks before the start of the next season, so John has been with me for 4 months. He ended up starting my last 5 or 6 games due to a spate of injuries and did fantastic (6 goals in 6 starts and 1 sub appearance, including both goals in our 3-2 loss in the play off final). When he came through the coaches had him down as Good Premier League player potential, but they have already upgraded that to Leading, which is awesome. What I really love about him though is his personality, Model Professional. If I can get in the Premier League and hold onto him long term, that is going to be invaluable for tutoring. He will be my starting FC this upcoming season, with my main guy last year going out wide into the AML slot of my 451 / 433. Quick update on my son. He is being tutored currently and his determination has gone up from 8 to 12 and his personality has changed form Low Self Belief to Balanced. What a great FM father I am!

La Furia Roja Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 2012-2013 – Lewes FC Season Aim: Consolidation and survival – Achieved An up and down season, unfortunately mostly down. After 9 games we were unbeaten and top by 4, but things went down quite quickly. My best keeper, who was rated as a decent BSP player would only take a non-contract role and got snapped up early on. I really did not have any back up keepers so had to make do, this was pretty much the turning point. We played some good footy though, if I can hold some of the key players and use some of my intake to strengthen a bit I should be in good stead to start building. I was praying for a keeper in the intake and the football gods must have smiled! YP01 Final Table Transfers Aim For Next Season: Pretty much the same as this one, not aiming too high but a little bit up the table would be nice.
