Albion Rover Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 What is the longest time you have spent at the same club? mine is 4.5 years - spent at Hereford, Jan 2013 - June 2017. We were a league 2 side. Battled relegation in 2 seasons, and then spent the rest mid table. I just couldn't see a way to move them forward, ran out of ideas, and decided to move on. Has anyone managed the same club for as long as Sir Alex? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 In my save in Asia I've spent all my career in Indonesia having been in charge of Persibom Bolaang Mongondow for 24 years. I holidayed the first year as it was apart of a challenge to start off with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestroik Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 6 years with Bournemouth. 1st year, got myself promoted to Championship. Spent 3 years in the Championship before finally reaching the promised land of the Premier League. After that, 1 year of escaping relegation and got sacked in the final year after relegation. One of my best saves. Shame the Chairman didn't allow me to try to get back up at the 1st attempt. Perhaps I would reach a minimum of 10 years at the club.

Graham FM Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Fc untied 12-26 got them promoted all the way up to the premiership and came 12th avoiding relegation after been last and ten points off safety, Manchester united came snooping around and i thought it was time to jump ship, but the board demanded too much from a side that was pretty bare n no squad depth after a poor start to the season, got sacked around feb after getting them into the quarters of the champions league, pep came in and won the bloody thing but still finished 11th :/ I applied for the celtic job and now im trying to get them back winning the league and cups after rangers knocked them off the top the last 3 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalky1989 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Never managed at a team more than 8 years. Though planning to have a long stay in my current one Was at Newcastle for 5 years, Athletic Club for 3 years, and have been at Dortmund for a year. Plan to stay 4-5 years here, then move to Liverpool when the job becomes available, and then stay there as long as I can. Hopefully for several decades. I might put some restrictions in to make it tougher, like never paying a player more than 80k or something, so I'll never be able to keep my stars long term.

sjm Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 In all but one CM/FM save, I've been a 1-club man, so it's for as long as I play the game in its current iteration. I'm quite slow paced (compared to most people). I'm currently at around 15 seasons in on FM11 with Gloucester - I just had my 800th game in charge. I do have a tendency to switch national teams though, don't think I've ever managed more than 4 years with the same nation in any save. Currently 3 years in charge of England (my first nation). I've manager Croatia, Turkey, Brazil and a few others on previous versions, but never won anything as a national manager (unless the Confederation Cup counts).

mrdanbartlett Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Gosh - some LONG saves here, amazing. I personally get bored when I've won everything and become the best club ever, I did just do 10 seasons using my 'world leagues' database which I created - was a 10 tier league system with the top 180 clubs worldwide in it based on rep. Took a team from the bottom to the top. San Marino was a long save for me too, took them to the best in the world, and got the SM NT team into the euros - plus took over a San marino league side and got them into the CL - prob 15 seasons worth overall. Credit to you who can go 30+ without getting bored/wanting a new challenge. Now I'm aiming to go for a long save but with different clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
