Herbert Fandel Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'll be continuing my career from FM12, I started of low in Swedish 3rd Div, left after 2 seasons then took over a 2nd Div Swedish club and got it promoted within 3 seasons to Premier Division where I achived mid table finished. Took over Vancouver but left after 3 months due to strange MLS rules. Coached Canadian National team for a year before leaving. Took over Swedish AIK winning 5 consecutive league, cup and super cup titles. Took over Newcastle but left after a month due to horrible squad / finances. Led Swedish National Team to European Championship loosing in the 2nd round. Took over English National Team and led them to World Cup where I lost in QF. Continued to lead England to European Championship (hosted by England) and led them to QF loosing to winners Belgium. Was then approached by Man Utd in 2028 so that will be the team I will take over in FM13. This will be my first time with Man Utd. Sorry SAF... I am not asking this question with any set agenda, but purely out of interest with a view to understanding the game mechanics. What were your starting reputation and nationality?

Deloma Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am not asking this question with any set agenda, but purely out of interest with a view to understanding the game mechanics.What were your starting reputation and nationality? Nationality: Swedish Reputation: Automatic which should have been low since I started of extremly low in Sweden. Basically my approach was how would my career look like if I would become a manager. I would probably start off close to where I live which is Sweden and start off lowest possible which in FM s case was Div 3 Sweden. I will continue in FM13 where I left off until I get tired and then I will probably make the same trip again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about looking back at past glories and keeping one eye on the Hall Of Fame for when I sneak to it! I know which is a shame. I wish they would allow us to take our reputation/history to the next game. You would loose exact dates but it would still be nice to see which clubs you have managed and keep your reputation and your age ofcourse. I guess you can modify your reputation with a save game editor but I'm not sure you can add any history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert Fandel Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Rangers - easy walk through the divisions FTFY People may point out that Rangers aren't finding it too easy in real life.

chelpars Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just to update you, and to show I'm not just a bragger here's last nights bet... One. Goal. Away. From life changing money. In fact, ONE MISSED PENALTY BY FABREGAS AWAY!! I will never buy him on FM ever again Really unlucky there mate, but you've made quite a few good winnings already, so not too bad! But I was wondering if you could explain to me what it means by alternative goals and alternative goals, I'm a bit newbie when it comes to betting. Thanks.
