A player I sold a season ago for having a bitchy fit and wanting to move to a bigger club just got offered back to me. The reason... he's unsatisfied at the lack of gametime he's getting. :lol:

Finished 4th.

Away games still killing me. Liverpool 5th. United win the title. :cool:

Yeah, Im having some trouble with away games at Celtic too. Just lost 3-2 to hearts away, two goals in the last 15mins. Both BS too.

Almost finished my work in the transfer season. Will give a wrap when its all done

Allrighttty. Just beat Inverness 4-0.

The board originally gave me 7mil to spend. But, halfway through the window, they said, due to the great financial state of the club, they are going to give me 20mil :D

So:

Transfer Wrap:
Out:
Maloney (4mil)
Nakamura (4mil)
Wellington (2.7m)

In:
Jose Manuel Jurango (6mil)
Youssef El-Akchaoui (4mil)

I have 16mil remaining, and Im going to spend it on a new striker. Looked at Rodrigo Palacio, and Atleti let me talk to him, but he didnt want to come. Will make sure I find someone before the window is up.

Good sell on Naka

Board gave me 101 million for Season 2. Will update again in the morning after I've completed my transfers.

Ended up coming 5th with Inter. The top 7 was very close all season and near the end I was coming 3rd but we lost games against other top 7 teams at the end which fucked us up. Won the Italian cup though 1-0 against Roma. Sergio Aguero got the golden boot with 25 goals and Federico Laurito got young player of the year and he got 23 goals. Freddy Adu got a new record within the club with 16 assists and him and Aguero were in the Italian team of the season. Came 2nd in manager of the season and goalkeeper got 3rd in the goalkeeper of the season. Freddy Adu also came 2nd in Player of the year.
Looking to go further in the Euro Cup next season. Only got to first knockout round.

Also I did not restart a game at all. I had many urges to but I didn't :) A LOT more funner.

I restarted only twice in my first season. Probably wont restart any this season. lol.

The board are expanding the stadium to 56k

Season 2 transfers are completed. I was given 101 million, and the wage budget was adjusted to give me another 10 or so on top of that.

The chairman kicked in 25 million to the finances in July, and after my transfer spending I'm sure he'll do it again soon.

Starting a new game. What do you think is a good club to start out at?

Drew 2-2 with Killie after being 2-0 up at HT. Also missed a pen. Fail.

Gave a contract offer to Lisandro Lopez. Hopefully I get him.

If you want to start with a lower league team MightGunners Leicester or Leeds are good.

Now in January in my first season with Leeds, terminated Diego Tristans loan cause he was shit, didnt score in 598 mins. Signed up a youngster from UAE along with a few Brazilians, work permits are still pissing me off but

I got Lopez :)

------------Lopez--Macca-------------
Jurado----------Tales----------Mcgeady
----------------Emerson------------------
El-Akchaiou--Mcmanus--Mosquera--Hinkel
------------------Boruc---------------

Not too bad :)

Lopez about to debut v Falkirk.

UCL was also drawn. I got Arsenal, Benfica, and NK Dinamo (some croatian side)

OMG u guys play dis game 2 haha

Lisandro Lopez makes his debut... AND SCORES ON 25 SECONDS! What a hero.

I won 7-0. Lopez x2, Tales x3, Mcdonald, Mosquera.
Huge win. :D

Tales got a rating of 9.6. 3 goals, and 3 assists I think too. Huge.

Edited by imnofreak: 2/8/2009 08:00:07 PM

Millwall ftw.

My chairman just chucked in 72 million pounds. This is on top of the 25 million last month. What a legend.

FAIL! Lopez is ineligble for UCL. Mustv played in qualifiers with Porto.

Made a deadline day signing of Ghanain Anthony Obodai. Hes a gun, great signing. And to make it awesome, he was on a free!

Beats selling yourself on Oxford St each night.

Just THUMPED Rangers 4-0 :D

Another ripper season with QPR after the disappointment of last season. Did the treble again, this time with the FA cup, instead of the Carling Cup. Tweaked my tactics a bit, and now my strikers are banging home the goals, 3 of them finished with 15+ goals for the season. Highlight was either our stunning win over Real Madrid in the ECL Qrt Final, (We lost away 2-0, and won the home league 3-0, thanks to a hattrick from my striker), or my 1000th game as a manager, which happened to be our 1-0 win in the FA cup final over Mourinho's Sheffield Utd.

For the first time in my FM career, I've entered the all time Managers Hall of Fame, I'm 18th.

That is very epic.

In less epic news, I've decided to sell Emerson. He getting old, and hes still worth a sizable chunk of money, so I will sell him in January. Anthony Obodai is a tailor made replacement, and to sweeten the deal, Obodai has 20 FKs and 19 pens, so he can contribute there (as he showed with a double from the spot in the 4-0 thumping of Rangers)

I have Queen of Sth in Scottish League Cup now, then Hibs away, and then my away game against Dinamo in UCL. If I can pick up 3 points there, I will be stoked.

test yaself fully and get a team from blue square south or north, where you have a transfer kitty of 10k or less, i was afc wimbledon from north and got promoted to blue square, Only 4 more leagues to beat till im king of england,\:d/

Dominant 2-0 win over Queen of South in the cup, followed by an abysmal 3-0 loss away to Hibs. An Own goal, a BS penalty and a breakaway in the last minute. Such fail. Have the 2nd UCL game now

I wont be able to make it online tonight guys - my car is having issues so I have to get it checked up - plus we are renovating and drawing up plans, etc... Sorry guys - let us know how you go and how far we get... :) GL all...

I don't think we had anything planned for tonight anyway.

This will probably go down the hole now anyway. Considering the constant booting out of the game, can nevere have everybody and perhaps one less person depending if afro still wants to do it or not.

Thumped Dinamo 4-1 away in the UCL. I was slightly lucky, they hit the woodwork four times :lol:

Followed up with an easy 3-0 win over Hamilton. Macca x2, El-Akchaiou.
