Fucking Hell. Managing such a shit team sucks. Transfer Budget is only 30k! Board only lets me have two coaches. Shit like that. Fucked.

Had the same problem with Leeds, look for free agents until u get some money, usually you get some really decent ones if you look around


Yeah. Ive been looking at a LOT of free agents and people for like 10k. Its just tough not being allowed coaches. My best player is out of contract and doesnt want to re-sign (obviously). Should be alright to get promo though, if half of my offers get accepted.

Im just confused because when I signed the contract they said my budget would be 850k. Now its 30. Wierd.


It's because that was their transfer budget at the time when they offered the contract. You accepted, but didn't join them till the end of your Celtic contract. In that time, the other manager will have spent the missing 820k.

Getting back into my save. After a slow start, took Amkar to 4th spot. Decided I wanted out, and had a look at jobs available. Saw the Aus national job, thought that'd be pretty cool, spend a few seasons just focused on an International Job. So I applied.

Got Rejected. For Gary Van Fucking Egmond.
My Credentials:
Won Copa America, Confed Cup and Cocacaf Gold Cup with Mexico.
Won Euro 2024 with England.
Won 3 EPL Titles, 2 FA Cups, 1 Carling Cup, 2 ECL Titles, and 2 CWC Titles.

His Credentials:
Won the A-League twice. Over 15 years ago.
#-o

But then I got lucky. Inter fired Laurent Blanc, and offered me a job.
@ Amkar
Transfer Budget - 8.9m
Wage Budget - 170k
My Wage - 3.3k a week

@ Inter
Transfer Budget - 150m
Wage Budget - 2.4m
My Wage - 95k a week

Should I take the job???:p

I was thinking of getting FM.
2009 is $30 on eBay, but I was wondering if I should wait for FM2010 which comes out soon, but it will definitely be much more expensive.
Idk what to do?????

Avy what year are you in? Palombo usually signs for 7.5 in the 07/08 in my games, quality player though has averaged mid 7's for abiout 5 seasons now at Tottenham in my United save. Santon is an awesome pick up too, I would try and see how much Sakho is worth now as well because he is class I payed 45 mil for him in 2010

I'm in 2009 still, Not long started a new save. Sakho looks decent, I'll keep an eye on him.

Had to resign from Austria, Leeds kicked up a stink and threatened to terminate my contract. Strangely they have no problem with me coaching Iran or Samoa

Haha.. Inter were 12th when I joined. Only 6 points behind first though, 2 wins in to my career, and we're already 6th, with a game in hand over all the teams above us. Gonna be using all that 150m though, over 2 thirds of the squad are 30+.

Into mid January now and have an 11 point lead at the top from Bristol, still undefeated in the league with 22 wins and 6 draws 59 goals for and 11 against. Tales has returned from a long series of injuries so hopefully he can stay fit as he has done SFA so far, Matejovski has mostly been shit but has scored 4 goals all in the last month and a half and all winner but Panathinaikos just bid 3 mil and I reckon I will accept it.

I also accepted a 2 mil bid from Wigan for Long a 21 y.o forward I havent used once this season. Wigan look like going down too and I have heard on some FM sites that you can get Valencia for around 3 mil if that happens.
I definitely need at least one new winger for the EPl next season preferrably a RW as I only have three options there including Santon who is first choice RW atm but I prefer him in RB and Sneijder is the only other EPL worthy option. I am thinking of Valencia pending on Wigans fate and maybe Saivet or Marquinhos depending on price and I would like to make a move for Asenjo

Yeh in my Inter games Santon plays a lot better at RB than at RM. You could try and get Freddy Adu? He'll only be young though.

Yeah but he is American and I already have one, which is too many imo lol.
Its January and I have been excited by Zucculini's arrival for a while now as CM is a worry for me atm with Mascio being injured, Tales injured, Gunnarsson not fit and Bikey getting a 5 game suspension but Zucculini is on international duty when I really really need him. I am actually looking at Gabriel Obertan as well, I reckon I could get him for about 3.5, Mata is tempting as well but only plays left but at a young age I could probably train him to play RW as well

Thats unlucky. He wasnt particularly susceptible to injuries, in fact I cant remember any long ones, so hopefully its a one off thing.

His position is just AM C in yours, right? What form you play?

4-4-2 Standard, he has been limited to cameos and 45 minute substitutions as when he sint injured he has no fitness, sometimes I have tailored the formation for him to a 3-4-1-2 or 4-4-1-1 but yeah he returned from a three month injury in November and I set him a fairly tough training regime to regain some fitness and he did his knee ligaments immediatly. He has been limited to one start and six substitutions with one goal and an average rating of 6.60. I will keep the faith with him though and stick with him as he has been unlucky
