Had a go with FC Koln on FM07. They were in the Second Division. Got promoted as champions the first year. Finished tenth the second year and then left to manager Stuttgart where I won babck to back titles.

Koln are a joke though. The board was forever disappointed, even though the players were crap and they gave me no money to spend.

lmao you get podolski back after first season but in my game they are forever getting relegated.

Haha with a bit of luck I'll get some team from Andorra and get through 1 round. Setanta Cup Football too, pretty much guarantees I'll have the financial clout to become a stable enough Premier team if I win the league this year.

After missing out on the playoffs with Shels on goal difference in my first season and losing the playoff final the next, and with a not inconsiderate amount of alcohol in me I applied successfully for the Northampton job.

Took over in Jan with them lying 15th in the league. Brought in 8 new players in that window and finished 8th, missing the playoffs by goal difference again. Made a few additions to the squad in the summer, the biggest being Terry Dixon from Shels and the wildly inconsistent Tresor Kandol and won promotion comfotably enough.

Then I was approached by Sheff Wed (in championship) and I decided I'm going to be a merc and accepted. Gonna get them into the premier league, eventually challenge for the title and then jump ship to a club with champ league aspirations.:)

Just got drawn against Appolon Limassol, probably a winnable tie, even though I'm certainly not favourites.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Am giving Reading a go, should be able to bring them up I hope, although there are some decent teams around us.

civis_liberalis

Giving Galway a go. They seem to have a very good squad for a team tipped to go down.

Just finished my first season with QPR. Finished sixth on the final day of the season after winning my last six games.

Drew Sheffield United in the playoffs. First leg at home was 3-3 (after being 2-0 up ) and lost the second leg 4-3 (was 4-1 down at half-time).

Best signing was either Martin Stretsik (AML/ST) from Brno or Tinashe Nengomasha (DMC) from Kaizer Chiefs. Both were consistent, injury-free performers.

Looking forward tot he next season now.

Got promoted in my second season. Finished 11 points behind West Brom but saled second place about three weeks before the end of the season. We finshed as top scorers in the division even though my top scorer only got 15.

Worried about staying up though. My strikers aren't up to it.

Ended up beating Limassol on penalties but was beaten convincingly enough by Dundee United in the next round, won the First Division though, so season 3 is in the Premier.

Started a new game with Athlone in the First Division, came 2nd in my first season and won the FAI Cup, think thats the best I've ever done in my first season in any version of the game. Gonna be weird playing in the Euro Cup from the League Of Ireland First Division.

Funnily enough i won the FAI cup with Athlone in my first season with them in Football manager 2006. I only came 6th in the league though.

Came 9th in my first season in the Premier, won the relegation playoff against UCD, they stayed up by beating Waterford from the First Division though.

Improved to 4th in the season just gone, and got to the cup final, a combination of those meaning I have Europe and Setanta Cup this season, I'll be looking to put in a title challenge too.

Nice job. I find it hard to get a low to middle ranked team from the First into the top half of the Premier. Setanta Cup pretty much secures Athlone as a Premier Division club finance wise.

Yup, I've completely revamped myself once again with a load of flashy 16/17 year olds that my scouts reckon will become leading Premier players, and I'm 2nd this season after 22 games behind Pats.
