Football Manager

Stupid game.

Young player wants a new contract.
As part of it wants to go out on loan
No problem, agree to add a promise that I will find a loan club for him
Signs contract in June
2 weeks later he is furious I have not kept my promise and found him a loan move
Hands in transfer request

Utter tit.
 
The 'promises' are an absolute pain in the arse, they were constantly biting me on the arse so I reject them all now. I had a similar one, unhappy I hadn't loaned him out...I hadn't loaned him out because he was in my first team ffs
 
I'm not bitter.

He is on £10 a week.
Transfer values at this level don't exist
Contract terminated.
See ya kid.
 
So my update on my 01 game is that I won the Championship at a canter. I generally always do a second save at the start of the game so I can go back and play with the start of the season again. So I did that and in addition to Wolves, I added another manager and took on WBA. Promptly signed all the shit Wolves didn't want, milked their bank account... lost 29 out of 30 games, was pissed off that somehow it wasn't 30, and eventually got sacked. Wolves, meanwhile, won the league and WBA unsurprisingly went down and down!

I've played the game to death. I've played as various teams over the years and while it was fun to give it a go again, once you know a tactic that works and who to sign, it does lose something of its appeal.

Thanks for the link to download the game though. Fun while it lasted, bit like Nuno's reign. :)
 
01/02 was my all time favourite version.. Though it was too easy to win most of the time.
 
The transfer market in this game is the absolute worst. It's all well and good finding gems that will be first team options etc, but when you need to dip in the market for an 'oven ready' pro, you'll be paying a bare minimum £80m for somebody that will be in that core first 15 players you've got. But when I'm selling? It's like they all think the SPL is a charity shop. You just can't get anything like market value for anybody. I'm constantly fending off bid of £30-50m for my absolute best players, and we're not talking dross, we're talking about players who'd get in any club in the world. Then they get unsettled, and I'm actually quite happy to keep him unhappy and play him, but thern obviously we hit the time when there's 18-24 months left on their deals and I've got to get the money in because I hate losing people to a free. Just sold two players for about £40m including add ons, who I wanted £60m for really, and low and behold as soon they move clubs their market value moves to £90m.

Had one cunt who was moaning at his asking price, wanted to be sold for £25m. The cunt had just won young player of the UCL having scored 8 goals on route to the final from left wing ffs. Fuck off Carlos

Trussenomics FM plugin?

I love how serious you take this game
 
I'm genuinely insulted by some of the offers. Just had one from Barca. £22m rising to £30m. For a player I paid £9m for seven years ago, as a right footed right winger. He's now trained to play at right back, and as an inverted forward off the left. 30-40 goal involvements every season, been injured for about 3 weeks in his entire life, and that versatility is so fucking useful. £22m

TEKKIN THE FOKKIN PISS
 
2 promotions with MDT. Now at level 8 but I simply can't attract better players to join now, my market is still level 9 and below. Even players at the same level tell me do one.

Youth facilities appear to be a football and a patch of grass near the skate park.
I don't get stars to show how high their potential is, instead I get "will likely make it as a team leader at the local Muller factory" or "best off working on a farm tbh"
 
Sounds fucking horrific. Hopefully should become more attractive even if you just stay up and consolidate for a couple of seasons
 
I have boosted the club reputation from what essentially appeared to be "people who live next your home ground don't even know you exist" to "those people are now annoyed that they now know you do and no, you can't have your ball back"
 
Not to put any pressure on your journey, Kenny....Bonnyrigg Rose have just beaten Newcastle 5-2 on aggregate to make their third successive Champion's League Final, facing Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

An astounding season, losing only once in all competitions to date, against Nice in the CL group stage. So that means, for only the second time in our history, I've paid attention close enough to make sure we win the Scottish Cup! Drew 3 and won the rest in the league, winning a record 108 points with a goal record of 137 (!) for and 26 against. We've lost one league game in the last three and a half years - currently just over two years unbeaten, a run stretching back 80 games.

Up next, Barca, whom we haven't played for 5 years, in what was a 4-3 defeat for the Rosey Posey (that's their actual nickname ffs). Now managed by former player and club legend Miguel Munoz, they've dominated Spanish football, winning the league 8 times in his 10 years at the helm. This will be his last game, until he joins Liverpool in June - a job turned down by Richie Legend no fewer than three times.

Known amongst the mid-Lothian local press as the Stanimir Enchev Classico - following Barca's unsavoury and insulting efforts to prise the versatile Bulgarian away from the Charlie Kirkwood arena last Summer - Barca vs Bonnyrigg has become the game's most unlikely rivalry, but one that's here to stay.
