hamilton162 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I guess Man City means business this year. Just look at this transfer list so far. (that's 146 mill EUR) That's a hell of a lot of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I wouldn't say that 146 Million is that much, I've seen a lot more spent by teams in the second/third season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamFitz Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 In today's world it's about £134.6m, but is probably around £125m on the game, I've spent near enough that I think. :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaelS Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I wouldn't say that 146 Million is that much, I've seen a lot more spent by teams in the second/third season. This isn't the most money spent, I know. But this is with my domination taken into consideration. Last season Man City spent 320 mill (42 mill EUR) and got 2nd. It is the same scenario with Watford who has a tycoon backing them up. They are spending millions and millions. I just find it funny that it is clear they want the title The biggest amount I've spent on a season is 110 mill EUR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Another good season there Gypsum Are you aiming for a consolidation season next year or do you want to challenge for a 4th straight promotion? And how did Merthyr do this season? Thanks! I'm not really sure at the moment. I'm struggling to make any quality signings again. And while the club isn't in the red, we have virtually nothing to spend on transfers. But then I wasn't hopeful last season and we finished 2nd, and we have strengthened the squad a lot more than we did then. So we'll see. I'd be happy with a top half finish though. Merthyr won the premiership again, 10 points clear of Man City, and also won the Champions league. Steven Gerrard is still manager. They've pretty much got the same squad I left them with, including my son who has turned into a pretty solid backup player. It's nice to see them doing well, and I can't wait to play them!!

iTry Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Sorry if this has already been decided but I've checked back a few pages and couldn't find anything.

Takamaru Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just restarted my run with Merthyr as a last effort with FM09 before FM10. Got promoted to the Championship yesterday after winning the L1. Nothing special in this competition I know, but I still have 6 of my own youth in my starting 11. I got lucky because they turned out to be pretty awesome and at just 19-23 years of age by now, they've got quite some experience behind their belts too with some having played in my starting 11 since the BSS. They're insanely loyal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTry Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The extra games might make a difference, although i had him on a custom training schedule and i had him tutored as well I hear that save game editors also make a difference too. On a more serious note - how long are you going to keep this charade going? I, and a number of others, know you cheat - it's blindingly obvious really. Yes, you will bring up that I can't prove it. However, there is so much evidence pointing towards you cheating such as your 'son' being born without the surname 368 or whatever number it was originally, and without having the same nationality/other nationality as you. The rapid advancement of your players and other things that dafuge has mentioned also points towards this. Personally, I don't give a damn what you do in your own game but don't come posting on the forums about your great success if you've used save game editors to achieve it.

Whatever the truth is, he's in a tough situation. If his game is 100% genuine and he has been on the end of a series of astonishingly lucky instances, naturally there will be a number of people who will believe that something dodgy has gone on. However much he pleads his innocence there will be no convincing these people, they will continue to believe that he has cheated. I know from experience how frustrating it can be to be branded a cheater when it is just down to hard work and a bit of luck. If he has cheated, that is an immense amount of effort that has been put into something false. I would really pity anyone who has taken pride in sharing their achievements when they know that they are fake, it must be a horrible position to be in. Usually people who have cheated give up quickly, so if this is the case it is a very sorry state of affairs. Either way, he can't win, and I suggest that people accept this situation. If you think he's cheating, just ignore his posts, if you don't then continue to enjoy his stories. Accusations and bickering just ruin the thread for everyone. Personally, I'm not interested in accusing people of cheating or even speculating about it. I believe that people should honour the history of trust and honesty that has been in this challenge for the last four years and embrace it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No final decision yet, although it is likely to be either as it is or adding one more step. Going down to level 10 would mean a lot of extra leagues and unresearched teams which could mean slow long term games and teams full of grey players.

TaylorB Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 First off, I apologise for skipping a season update. I didn’t take any screenshots apart from these four; one, two, three, four. Due to the challenge being completed and me not thinking I’d continue season updates.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bradford PA – Premier League 2024/25 Pre-Season I started pre-season knowing I had an impressive £42million to spend, and it was my intention to do so. I scouted the world for the key positions I needed and for promising youngsters. What came back was disappointing so I did the hard work for myself. I looked through every country in the top 100 of the world and came back with the following; Ilja Troshin - Not sure as to whether he was a striker or a winger when he arrived. Looks to have massive potential. Already a permanent fixture in the Russia squad. Will add a lot to the team. Mikhail Kolesov - Another permanent fixture in the Russia squad and also looks to have a massive amount of potential. Only bad thing is he's joined in the position that's the most competitive. Harold Walker - Impressed for Stoke last year winning the players' young player of the year award. Looks to be set as the linchpin of the England team in the future. Will be vital to our team this year. I hope so after shelling out £38.5 million anyway! Manuel Castillo - Found in the Spanish u21 squad. I may have overspent, but if he becomes the good EPL defender he is meant too then I can more than likely get a profit out of him. Mark Morrison - Has the most potential of the lot. Could be the best player in the world. If he doesn't make the cut, I don't deserve to be the manager of this club anymore. A very exciting prospect, and a steal at just under £3million. Transfers League Graph After winning the league three years ago the team has gone downhill. Not planning for the future and aiming for immediate success has lead to the team having certain star individuals but far too few and not up there to challenge for the title. The media agreed and predicted a 6th place finish for the team. Something I agreed with entirely. The league itself was a mixed bag; far too many draws or losses against lower teams we needed to beat yet exceptional performances against teams expected to beat us. This does give me encouragement that when/if we get back to the top of the league we’ll be able to compete well. We ended up losing 6th place on the last day of the season losing to Man Utd and ended up finishing in 8th. This wasn’t Europe. This is lower than I expected and I wasn’t happy. We tailed off badly towards the end of the season after pushing for a Champions League place all season. We have a young squad now however and an era of Bradford PA dominance doesn’t look too far away. Europe The less said about Europe the better in reality. We cruised the group stages and qualified after winning four out of four with 15 goals scored – none conceded. However, with the kids playing the last two games weren’t easy. We still comfortably finishing top though and would face Olympiakos in the first knockout round. A tired display after a congested month of fixtures saw us lose out 2-0 away from home leaving us with a battle on our hands. A battle in which sadly, we lost in after winning the home leg 1-0; yet that wasn’t enough. After winning the Champions league two years ago we’re now not in Europe at all. I may have made the wrong decision in going for immediate success... Cups In the league cup; the kids sailed into the final even beating a full strength Man City team. We then faced Swansea in the final and my dilemma as to whether to play the kids or the full team was a tough one. I went with the first team; and they went on to lose on penalties (the English penalty curse again, despite none of my penalty takers being English) despite dominating near enough the whole game. The kids also played in the F.A Cup; yet only reached the fourth round before losing to struggling League One side Millwall in a tense game in the wind and rain. We need to perform better in the cups at this stage; the prize money is valuable. Record Against The Teams Who Finished Above Us. |------------|------------|------------| | Team | Home Rec. | Away Rec. | |------------|------------|------------| | Chelsea | 2-0 | 1-2 | | Tottenham | 1-2 | 1-2 | | Arsenal | 3-1 | 2-2 | | Man City | 0-0 | 2-0 | | Newcastle | 1-0 | 1-2 | | Aston Villa| 1-1 | 0-1 | | Leeds | 2-3 | 1-2 | |------------|------------|------------| Youth Team The Youth Team had a terrible season; comfortably finishing bottom of their group with only one win. I’ll be investing into the youth more and hope to see improvements. Transfer Targets I mainly have my eyes set on youth now; in order to develop the future of this club. However; in the long term I have my eyes set on Arnold Van Der Ven & Denis Popovic for when/if I dominate the English League’s they’re top quality footballers and will be in their prime by the time I can realistically sign them.

the future darlo manager Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hednesford Town - 2020/21 Season - Premier League Finished: 13th Expected Finish: 17th Long time no post. My game has moved on a lot since my last after winning the BSP. The big spending backers have continued to pour the money in and I've managed to keep us moving up the league (although my first season in the Championship was a bit messy. Our second season in the Championship saw me regein my spending in and I assembled the spine of my promotion winning side on free transfers. Spent big in my first season in the Premiership and survived with ease. We are looking to build now and hit mid-table. However it is getting hard to keep the squad together. Anyone who does well gets targeted by the big clubs in the division. I've already lost two players to Man U in the last two years and one to Arsenal. On a plus note though a new ground is being built which is badly needed now. Once thats done we can focus on youth development.

dafuge Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Dartford FC - Barclays Premier League - 2036/37 After a Premier League and Champions League double, the local lads were once again ready to take on the world. League Table League Positions Graph We won this with ease as we were able to rest a lot of players in the run in to the end of the season. Community Shield - it was nice to meet someone different as we took our chances to win a close match. UEFA Super Cup - once again we met unfamiliar opposition and we struggled to make our dominance pay. It took a frantic extra time to settle the match where youth player Shayne Hall took a starring role. Club World Cup - it was a young side but they dominated the match. Carling Cup - things were looking comfortable until our goalie got himself sent off. Thankfully we managed to hold on for the win. FA Cup - we absolutely battered our rivals Arsenal but only managed to score once. UEFA Champions League - it was looking like our early goal would seal it but a late equaliser brought extra time which we dominated thanks to Oswaldo Even. For the first time in seven years we had retained the Champions League. Transfers - nothing much to see here except Ryan Caddis' move to AC Milan at the end of last season. Squad - our striking options are really looking up after the concerns of last season. Squad (youth products) - we now have five players making a major contribution, with all of them capable of more in the future. Key Player Profiles: Oswaldo Even - the legend lives on as he improved on last season's disappointment. Shayne Hall - produced by our own youth system, he played 35 games at the age of 16 and had a pretty good record, the coaches think he can improve a lot so he has the potential to become a club legend. Gary Gilder - another youth product, he provided numerous assists from the wing. he has a lot of potential so hopefully he can improve physically over the next couple of years. Alan Arnold - the rock at the centre of my midfield has really proved himself as a good signing, even at £30m. Lee Pell - as my old partnership ages this former wonderkid is starting to prove himself as a first choice player.

Sorry but there it is. My tuppenth worth seeing as its been mentioned and its something thats sprung to my mind quite often.

dafuge Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've just been presented with possibly the most difficult decision of my career. A while ago I took on the Romania job with the unlikely aim of qualifying for the World Cup. With a few great results I find myself in this position. I'm on the brink of taking them to the World Cup, with just a draw needed against Italy to stand a great chance of qualifying. Then this comes in. With my focus on homegrown youth at Dartford, England was my next ideal job after Romania. This is what the qualification group looks like, a win away in Poland and they are in the World Cup. Do I chase the dream of taking yet another underdog to the World Cup or should I jump ship to the dream job now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyIzzyB13 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So, after taking most of the past week off from playing FM, I resumed my game today. I drew the second leg with BATE, so I'm into the group stages of the EURO Cup... where I was promptly drawn into a group with Dortmund, Palermo and the Romanian Champions FC Timisoara. Yay. At least there should be plenty of cash there, since I doubt I'm going to get as lucky as I did in the League Cup with weakened teams in a continental compatition.Interestingly, there are only three English teams in the group stages of the European Champions Cup, because Manchester United went out in qualifying. It means there's a possiblity of a United/City final in the EURO Cup. So, now we've finished going over the "is Hamilton a cheat?" issue that really affected my desire to carry on 'cause I'm sorta in the same boat as him in that my team has been at the very high end of possibilities through luck and I'm not exactly looking forward to being acused of cheating, I'm back in the game. It looks like I might have a shot at qualifying from this group. It depends how my third game goes - I was expecting Timisoara to be the weakest team in the group and since I've come through Palermo at home and Dortmund away with a win, a defeat and positive goal difference, if I can get something out of the Timisoara games, I think I have an outside chance of advancing...

dafuge Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Im still playing on my 38000 cap. stadium and nothing seems to be happening even though i have 220m in the bank ! I'm in a similar (but slightly better) situation. My stadium holds 65000 but the council block any further expansion. We have £600m in the bank but no sign of second new stadium. We actually had a 65000 sell out one match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
