after getting relegated again with st johnstone back to the first division i decided to quit and start again, this time i put that i was previously an "international footballer" and started unemployed. i was picked up by york city in the blue square premier and we are currently sitting at 16th on the table with 24 points after 20 games. we were hovering near the bottom for a while but we've had a good run of form in the last 8 games or so :)

In yet another brilliant show of SI's ability to code for REALIZIM, I've been appointed the Spanish National Team manager, with 2 years to prepare them for hosting the World Cup.

My management experience is:
Persidikab - Indonesian 2nd Division.
Australia U19's - Beat Argentina, Brazil, France and Italy, lost to England.
Hummel - South Korean 2nd division.

MON TORRES, REINA, CESC, XABI, REYES ETC.

Probably going to make Pique the captain.

No. Not rested. Dropped. Don't like Strikers with Finishing 15 and Composure 11.

Ive been at sheffield for about a month. Youve gone through more clubs than i can remember. By the sounds of it youre starting a new game each time too. Why do you change every second day?

with the lower league clubs i wasnt going to well. and the others i just dont settle in. but i am settled with athletic and we are on a 6 or 7 unbeaten run and only 1 draw in it. i am 5 and i am coming up against the 4 team in front of me in the next four weeks. zaragoza i think is 2 points behind me and barcelona are 2 points in front of me. i have no chance coming 1st because the last time i checked real madrid were 23 points in front of me. i have just signed modric as well!! and maxi signed a new contract!! yay!!

If you do that to one of the national team's "favourite players" you'll soon find that the fans don't like you and you'll have a real fight on your hands to keep your job. And the only other good spanish strikers are Villa and Raul.

You should be pushing for FIRST with the squad you begin wiht tbh. You only need to bring in a couple of good defenders and you've got a title winning side.

chelsearbettathanceltic - you're an idiot...quitting when you don't do well is called "cheating". You try and turn that around, it's called a 'challenge'!

Ipswich-not so well.

However I started one in the same game with Newcastle with out even looking at the standings and it just turned out they were 1st with an eight game winning streak. I've extended that to a 10 game winning streak. But they sold Joel Griffiths to Adelaide before I got there. Denni-14 goals to 15 matches!

Conceded the single most bull shit fucking goal last night. Pissed me right off at the time, because it lost me the Scottish Cup (as Celtic, of course). Playing against hearts, it was 0-0 heading into half time, and we had a corner. It comes in, and drops to a hearts player. He clears it out of our box and sends it straight down field. Now, Because Boruc has a high eccentricity rating, he likes to stand a bit close during corners, namely, at the half way line. The ball flies over his head, and continues flying, until it lands where? The Hearts goal, of course. 100 FUCKING YARDS. Needless to say, when Man Utd came calling for Artur, I let him go.

Well my team has gone very very flat. Everyone is unhappy, everyone. Im sitting 17th in the league in and out of the relegation zone. My two main strikers billy sharp and louis saha have 9 and 10 hour goaless records and i just lost 6-0 to 18th placed tottenham. My team is just so flat. Half the team requesting transfers. Im just gonna have to play until the end of the season then i may move on if something comes up.

Just won the Community Shield with Newcastle for the 3rd year running with a 5 - 3 romping of Man U (yeah I let in 3 but I played Krul in goals instead of Ustari or Given who are the two most expensive keepers in the game), my midfield is DANGEROUS. Lulinha, VdV, Milner and Aaritalo with Milner, N'Zogs, Aquino (I like my Spanish regens), Sven Noll (German regen who is better than dos Santos)and Troisi as back up.

Picked up this German kid Dennis Manz for 100k and he is now about the best right back in the game and worth 5 mil. Playing Mertesaker in the centre of defence and Jose Enrique on the left though I am looking at replacing him with another German regen.

Have Zeefuik, Kerlon, Carrol, Viguera, Leon (Spanish regen who has 9 goals in 4 games for the Spain U/19 including doubles against Nigeria and England), Owen and Maritns up front (who came 1st and second in World player of the year)

Currently hold the FA Cup, Carling Cup, Champions Leage and CWC.

Looking at bringing in Nani as well.

Coaching Argentina after I won the WC with Australia 7 of my players making the Team of the Tournament (Tando Velaphi is GUN in my game).

Didnt know you played.

I just beat arsenal with my 15th placed shef united. Took out manager of the month. I really cant score goals though. I really really want balotelli or ceravolo. I really really need a billionaire to come and take over sheffield too. Im also getting mohammed zidan in the off season, mainly because i like him in RL and hes a half decent goal scorer. Free transfer too.

Nicola Milan maybe.

Borja Viguera is cheap and good.

Geenero Zeefuik if he has not already been snapped up.

Just won the title with St. Pauli on the last day even though I lost 4-1 to Stuttgart in my last game.
I'm starting to get absolutely pissed off with my club though. They give me jack all in terms of transfer funds and then they start accepting bids on my behalf! It's moronic. This was all after I signed a new 2 year contract. If it wasn't for the talented players I had in the team I would have just resigned.
New season anyway. Brought in Simon Vukcevic from Sporting Lisbon and some centre-back from Dortmund on a free. Sold off my talented left-back for 11M to Liverpool (had a minimum fee release clause). Maxim Shatskikh retired so I gave him a spot on my bench as my new assistant coach.
Started off with a win against Aachen, but I dare say my players are getting used to the new system as I've gone from a 4-4-1-1 to a 4-1-2-1-2.

Great english there. Sometimes that just doesn't happen. In mine Torres hasnt' scored in 9 hours but previously he had 10 in 9...which is perplexing but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

That's just a board with no ambition, if you keep on the up and up there might be a take-over soon if you're lucky and you'll be better off in that department.

Im not gay so i dont get kicks out of computerised faces of men. LOL. Why do you need to tell if they are a regen?
Italy have all these 16 year olds that have stats and pin wheels better than the best players in the game but i cant buy them and it doesnt show their club. They are untouchable. Also where do i go to search for staff, theres a place thats pretty much the same as the search for players function.

This is when there aren't enough italian players in the game of any quality, the game generates players to fill the space. If you play a game v an italian team's reserves, the players generated there are quality too...but you can sign them.

When you search for players, on the crumbs on the left, there's an option just below "players" that says "coaches"
