Just had an awesome time in charge of Ghana, earlier in the same save I was in charge of Ivory Coast for a month but resigned because it was just a shit job. Anyway took Ghana to 5th in the World rankings, won the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations and went unbeaten with them for the whole 3 and half years I was in charge. :cool: Had some gun regens, Ghana and DR Congo (who are now an African powerhouse) seem to usually have quite good regens I find. Also, the Ayew brothers, Andre and Jordan were fantastic.

Managed Ivory Coast once, was pretty fun.

Because of some bug, I finished second in Switzerland with Vaduz, but didn't get a Champions League spot... or Liechtenstein's guaranteed UEFA Cup spot either. So a lot of my players are wanting moves to 'bigger clubs'. FUCK YOU GLITCHY FM.

So it's not just in my game that DR Congo became a powerhouse. In on of my saves they were up to like 9th in the world.

I managed to stay off FM for last semester of uni but now I have a good month of sweet fuck all scheduled and I'm looking to get into FM(10) again. The most fun I've ever had on FM was with Reading pushing for top four so wouldn't mind the challenge of a mid table EPL side or a competitive Bundesliga outfit, will see how we go, hoping to get addicted again

Senegal, Mali and Guinea and Gabon also became quite good in that Ghana save.

At one point I had Australia up to 9th...they should get back there once I play the 2018 WC. They're currently in 14th and sandwiched between Serbia and Croatia...Switzerland is 8th, Colombia 12th.

Cahill's coaching at Bayern Munich in mine.

Poland didn't have enough real life players so they started with a centre midfield pairing of Boruc and Fabianski.

World Cup Quarter Final
Italy 0-1 Netherlands
29 Shots to 7
10 on to 1
12 off to 5
7 blocked to 1
3 Woodwork to 0
4 Clear Cut to 1

FM Hasn't made me mad in a long time, but jeez that's done it. It's a of fucking miracle proportions that we didn't score. Just ridiculous.

Took over at Cheltenham. Bottom of L2, no transfer budget, in Nov now. Squad of 11 players. Brought in 14 short term loans :lol: Tide me over till January where I'll re-assess.

Lost out on the Australia job to Graham fucking Arnold.

So, I'm France manager. Brazil offered me the job when one of their managers lost one of their games at the Confed Cup. They still went on to win it.

2 months later, they offer me the job again. The guy they'd hired, he'd only overseen 4 games. Won the first 3, but then lost the last one 2-1 away to Ecuador, even though WC qualfication was already wrapped up, they sacked im :lol: They're ruthless bastards.

Am off now for 4 weeks, so time to play some Football Manager. :d

Am going to start a game with Leeds.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a step by step process on how to install logos, shirts, skins etc? Or even anyone here know how to do it?

Took over the reigns at Wolfsburg and have sold off the dead wood to bring in some transfer funds, made some great signings thus far but it looks like I've got a battle to face in keeping Dzeko on the books although Hulk has just signed and scored two on debut. Squad lacks any quality width though but I'm looking at ammending that, signed a 19 y.o German regen that looks the goods and can play either flank.

Lining up like this atm
----------Benaglio------------
-(?)--Barzagli-Kjaer-Schafer--
---Rolfes--Misimovic--Josue---
------------Diego-------------
--------Hulk-----Dzeko--------

Looking for a quality RB at the moment and will probably end up adapting to a 4-2-3-1 if I lose Dzeko which wouldn't be disastrous as I have replacements lined up, probably Gignac. Lyon and Juve are very keen on Barzagli though and I don't fancy losing him

You think that's bad? I lost out in the England job to Adrian Lamb.

"Who the fuck is that?" You ask? Oh, just Blackburn's fitness coach...in the championship.

Made the Gold Cup semis with Jamaica and lost to the USA in the 89th minute :evil: :evil:

didn't he used to play rugby league

I love Hulk in FM11. Fucking beast cutting in from the right. Goals and assists galore.

AMR/AML as Inside Forwards is just the greatest thing ever. Pretty sure every tactic ever that I come up with will include those 2 positions. Just the best way to cut defences to pieces. Finding quality players to match it though is crazy. Finding a bloke whose opposite footed to the wing he's placed on, and who has good crossing, finishing and pace is crazy tough. Reckon I've trained more blokes for it, than I've found natural matches.

Hulk is the best match for it on the right I've ever had.

Ronaldo on the left, Hulk on the Right. Feeding Ibrahimovic in the middle. I'd be in heaven.

That was Adrian Lam :lol: Points for trying :P

Same with Pato, machine coming in from the right. Scored 33 goals for me on the right wing one season.

And after you spend all that time finding the right player, and training him for the position, some cunts come in and bid enough money (Who am I kidding, it's never enough), to make your chairman go "You know what, I don't actually care about this club being succesful" and accept a bid over your head.

The lesson here kids...never try.

:lol: Poor Funky.

Pretty sure I wont find a good inside forward in L2 :P

What's the most possession you've had across an entire match? Just beat Roma 2-0, with 71% possession. 20 Shots to 5, 10 on target to 1. Amazed we didn't score more.

Got a freakish regen in my Liverpool save - stats are rubbish, but he just can't stop scoring goals.

27 in 20 games when I sent him on loan to AEK Athens - then brought him back and thought 'why not, I'll give him a run' and he's scored 14 in 8 so far this year. And he's 18!

The most I've had was 73% in a 12-0 thrashing.

That super Hong Kong team just beat Lebanon 10-1 on aggregate in the first round of WC qualifiers.

:( Poor Lebanon.
