I realized my football manager career is the polar opposite how I act in real life. I show no loyalty at all any time a bigger job comes I take it. I was loving Liverpool and got 250 mill in bank for first season back, then Arsenal job became available and already Im throwing flirty looks at them

Secured the National League South title last night with Gosport Borough with a One Nil defeat at home
needed a win to secure the league, but the second place team failed to win away from home so got the title with 3 games to run.
My first silverware and in my second season with Gosport, having been sacked by FC United after 6 months.
Now the question is lead them into the national league or find a new job - have had 6 interviews with teams in League 1 and the Championships but I clearly don't do well with interviews as I haven't been offered a post...0 -

Keep going with them. I commend you for starting at such a low level. What previous experience did you use as manager?
Get Gosport to the Premiership :pac:0 -

Sunday footballer or something like that. Low level playing career anyway.
Biggest issue as I have mentioned before is fiances, really hard to build any depth when you're over the wage budget and losing money.
The only thing really keeping the club afloat is cup runs. FA Cup 2nd round and a poor enough effort only getting to the 1st round of the FA trophy after killing most of the opposition in the qualifiers.
Those two cup runs probably paid 2.5 months wages, maybe a little more.
Club still going into the Summer almost €125k in debt, but season tickets sales, sponsorship and tv revenue money hopefully clear the debt with cups runs keeping us in the black until January before gradually falling back into debt until the off season balances us out out again and the cycle restarts.0 -

Finished my first season with Dundalk and next season is shaping up to be very interesting. I finished 2nd, too inconsistent early on giving Cork a huge lead which we were close to clawing back but lost 3 of my last 5 league games. On the plus side I won the FAI Cup and mirrored our success in Europe by qualifying for the Europa League. Bet the Armenian champions & Ludogoretz before Olympiakos beat us in the playoff; in the group we got Roma, BATE & Maccabi Tel Aviv which I thought was quite funny. We beat Tel Aviv twice & got 4 points against BATE to go through to the next round where we play Manchester United
Thing is I wasn't alone - Shamrock Rovers made it into the groups too and while they only got a point they still have loads of money to compete with me in the transfer market. They just bought David McMillan from me for £200k! So next season has a good Cork team entering the Champions League, Pats, Rovers & my Dundalk side in the Europa. In old games once I qualified for the groups I would go on to dominate the league but with so much competition I'm looking forward to the challenge.0 -

Having to be a scrooge myself for the moment with not being able to afford the game, I'm playing/living vicariously through all of you currently

You should put that in the snapshot thread. Serious money for mcmillan, offer too good to refuse?
Didn't even notice it, must have a look. Yeah pretty much. He had a really good season, 26 goals in all competitions including some important goals in Europe. But in games where he didn't score he didn't offer much and £200k plus add-ons was too much to turn down when I could sign Chris Fagan on a free and Ciaran O'Connor back after a successful loan. Plus I wanted Brandon Miele from them but compensation was £375k so this made that easier. I have over £2m in my transfer budget but I won't touch it - the club would go under if I didn't qualify and spent that much!Does anyone know if you can change your manager appearance mid game?
I just did it quickly when I first started, have gotten quite into my current save and never gave the facial recognition feature a go.
I'd test the facial recognition on a throwaway save if I were you. I gave it a go and the first manager came out purple with drawn on glasses. So I took my glasses off, went to a better lit room and ended up looking like I had drowned before coming back to life as some sort of fish-eyed mutant.

Spurs bought him and he played two years there. I'm in the January window 2019 and he just signed for Chelsea for 49m or something similar.
Looks fairly good alright.
I'm running away with the league with Southampton in my third year. Seemed to flukely nail the tactics half way through my first season, ended up joint top with Arsenal (after they collapsed spectacularly) and lost the league playoff. Second year won the league by a point, and this year I'm already 9 points ahead.
Best buys so far:
Belotti 16m from the first window. Scored over a 100 goals for me. Pretty much a 1 for 1 striker.
Parades - 25m Outstanding midfielder who can play pretty much any role.
Ajer - 6m Grabbed him off Celtic. Already turning into a great CM.
Berahino - 3m after year 1. Think it was a free and had to pay that in tribunal. Pennies for him.
Michael Keane - 15m A really solid CB
Lemos - 20m He's a ridiculously good young Argentine CB.
Was also able to pick up Draxler and Rodriguez for around the 20-30m mark each after year one.0 -

Some windfall for LOI clubs for getting into the group stages!! I've just been awarded 2 million for getting through the qualifying playoff and another 12 million for reaching the group stages!!
Brexit happened in my game, which makes it harder to sign talent from the UK Cant sign any on free's under the bosman ruling anymore. 0 -

Not sure if you're talking about FM or your missus here
Misses always looses out to FM !
Started my usual United save as typical with me and FM. I'll go through a a save with United before I look into more obscure challenges.
And as typical with me, before I even have the team meeting, they want to address me pushing Rooney out of the club :P
Bit of a weirder start in this version, since obviously the club has spunked it's load on Pogba, Bailly and Henrik. So only have £30m to dabble with, and then I generated about another 20-30 m from selling Fellaini, Carrick, Young and Rooney. Only additional purchases were Tielmanns and a young left back to cover Shaw.
Already have a few targets lined out for next summer. Think I'll need a new striker to replace Zlatan, so looking at Dybala. I'm guessing everyone seems to buy him if playing as big club, he looks to be incredible.
Memphis looks to have been reigned back a bit in this version. I didn't play FM16 so don't know what he was like in that. Granted still started of well for me, but blows a bit hot and cold.
I've brought my 4-3-3 from FM15 into the current version to see how I get on(I saw mine, it's from FM-Base and saw an updated version for FM17 that looked similar). Few good thumping wins but some obscure results, losing to West Ham in the cup, Spurs in the league and a rubbish 1-1 all draw with someone else, think it was Everton.
Notice my two CM's in my formation are getting proper knackered. I'm playing typically Pogba in an AMC role with Tielmanns in a support role, and both are dropping well into the low 60% by the 80th minute which is a bit weird. I know Tielmanns had stamina issues in previous version, but seems Pogba and Hererra experience the same. Might need to do some tweaks or something.0 -
