General Smuts Posted 23 November 2011 Posted 23 November 2011 Finished my third season, and finally promoted!! Won the Championship with 110 points (fantastic season) which broke the points record held by Reading. Overall, I won the Championship, lost in the Coca-Cola Cup final and lost in the quater-final's of the FA Cup. Not bad really. Team looked like; There's a reason you took 3 years to get promoted. There is barely a single premier league player in that squad. You have failed at this game. Terribly.

Fox92 Posted 23 November 2011 Posted 23 November 2011 There's a reason you took 3 years to get promoted. There is barely a single premier league player in that squad. You have failed at this game. Terribly. I know. I couldn't attract them because most Premier League players I went for wanted ridiclous wages. Now I am up, the owners have given me £30million, so with a little bit of adjusting, I sould be able to attract certain players. I don't want to go over the top, I am quite tight with my wage budget (as in life).
Fox92 Posted 23 November 2011 Posted 23 November 2011 There is barely a single premier league player in that squad. I've signed Tevez on a free transfer He got released by Manchester City.
Darkon84 Posted 23 November 2011 Posted 23 November 2011 I've signed Tevez on a free transfer He got released by Manchester City. ''Welcome to contradiction hour, featuring Fox92''..... You were saying how tight fisted you were being and keeping wages low, then go and sign Carlos 'Mercenary' Tevez?! Cracking effort though, fair play for getting him, It certainly beats me getting Van Nistelrooy on a free in my second season (wish I didnt though, waste of wages)
General Smuts Posted 23 November 2011 Posted 23 November 2011 I've signed Tevez on a free transfer He got released by Manchester City. No game time in 3 seasons. Yeah he'll be an animal.

Cracking effort though, fair play for getting him, It certainly beats me getting Van Nistelrooy on a free in my second season (wish I didnt though, waste of wages) I know I went back on my word but I have found out you need to pay more if you want to get better quality - although I haven't actually paid for any player, because my new signings were all free. I am fearing the "waste of wages" part of your post... No game time in 3 seasons. Yeah he'll be an animal.

I am fearing the "waste of wages" part of your post... Think you might be missing the sarcasm in his post. But seriously **** the wage budget, if you go over slightly its not going to do any harm. Your more likely to get sacked for doing shit in the league than slightly going over your wage budget

Your more likely to get sacked for doing shit in the league than slightly going over your wage budget I got what he meant. I put that I don't over spend, then I did I am not over wage budget at the minute though. I thought I was, but, no. I still have 325k per week free or something like that. The owners gave me 800k wage budget you see. Thanks for the advice!
Brainy Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 I got sacked at Wolves near to Christmas in my 2nd season. Finished 11th in my first season, beat Chelsea in the league cup final which means I got into the Europa League. Was pretty much through into the knockout stages but was doing really badly in the league. Sacked. Also is it just me or are England absolutely woeful on the game? They've lost 3-2 at home to Slovenia and 2-1 at MOLDOVA. They're not 30th in the world rankings below teams like Hungary and Mali. Brazil are 47th!?!

I only really wanted him as a handy backup/poacher, and on a free I couldnt help myself. He had a class pre season then decided to turn shit when it mattered. Oh well, back to Quintero and Nugent/Jelavic who are doing alright anyway And 8800k wage budget?! Mine is 600k, and thats after adjusting it to give myself more!

Just played my first Premier League match over the season. Won 2-0. Both goals scored by Tevez :thumbsup: The first goal was a 30 yard shot - no first touch, just hit the ball after Howson gave it him. Wonder goal. He had a good debut actually, working hard as in life. I am sure my wage budget is 800k. The owners gave me £30million when I went up (couldn't believe it) but I adjusted most of it to wages as I think that is more important - having only spent 900k in the transfer market.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 In the second season of our SPL game, Brazil who have qulaified for the WC as hosts, are about 28th in the world. Argentina arent much better and Montenegro are even higher than them both. Shocking. And I won the Bronze medal in the Olympics.
Far Post Gerry Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 Does anyone know how good Andy King gets? I'm in my second season (Prem, after being promoted as champions - get in) and the guy's still on fire. 15 goals last season, 3 in 6 this. So many shit hot centre mids out there (always temped by Henrikson from Rosenborg) but King's undroppable. And while I don't usually sign anyone over 30, Olof Mellberg is a Swedish beast.
J.Lisemore Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 I dont know whether anyone else has come across 32 year old Mateja Kezman on this game, but I've just managed to sign him on a 2.2k a week deal for Rochdale in my first season EDIT: or not, denied work permit

So many shit hot centre mids out there (always temped by Henrikson from Rosenborg) but King's undroppable. I'm in my third season, and he has just gone to WBA from Newcastle for £4.4million. I sold him for £1.9million because he was so inconsistant for me and I got fed up with him. I dont know whether anyone else has come across 33 year old Mateja Kezman on this game, but I've just managed to sign him on a 2.2k a week deal for Rochdale in my first season EDIT: or not, denied work permit I was just going to say what a signing, and then you've edited it. I hate it when work permit stops the move
General Smuts Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 Finished 10th first season in the prem with my kids. Happy with that. Bag me a couple of centre backs, a striker and an attacking midfielder and i'll be pushing for Champo League. Shazam.
Dan Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 Lack of game time's a massive negative effect, seriously Balotelli and Phil Jones on my last game, it was hilarious, Balotelli got worse and worse, Phil Jones ended up at Eastwood Town, amazing how much some players decline through simply not being played. Alex Chamberlain, who flops a lot, was one of England's key players. This is on 11 though, I've gambled on Chamberlain with Napoli this time, also signed Quintero, Toloi, Kovacic, Digne, to be honest it's safe to say we'll be the worlds force in 4/5 years.
Narborough_fox Posted 24 November 2011 Posted 24 November 2011 Gutted. Got Man City and won 4-3 at there place in the 1st leg. Back at the KP and play for the draw and go 2-0 down within 45 minutes. Throw on Fierro and Beckford and bring it back to 2-1 and 5-5 on ET (winning on Away goals). FT whistle goals and I'm celebrating like mad but then it comes up saying I have to play ET. Nothing in the 1st half of ET but then in the 109th minute Milner scores and I'm going out. Pile everyone forward and bring Mills off for Schlupp. Beckford with a mazy run lays it off to Schlupp and he hits the post and as the clock hits the 120th minute Snodgrass takes a pop from close to 40 yards and it comes off the underside of the bar and onto the line and out. Lost 6-5 on aggregate.

I hate it when work permit stops the move I couldn't believe it! , I thought that he was more or less guarenteed a work permit because he'd played for his Country regularly (hes got 49 caps) but obviously not

Did he suffer a bad injury?
Dan Posted 25 November 2011 Posted 25 November 2011 what year was this in? Did he suffer a bad injury? As far as I'm aware Blackburn just didn't use him, and he got worse and worse. I noticed him on the decline and actually refused to take a punt on him when I first got to the Prem with Peterborough because he was shit. I think it was in like the 8th/9th season so he'd have actually been like 27. In all fairness he was too good for Eastwood but not the point, how the fvck someone who normally ends up one of, if not the best centre back on the game has ended up playing in the BSN is fvcking well beyond me. I've learned a lesson from it, never really under-estimate game time, my left back's at Napoli are slightly disappointing, Dossena is hit and miss, Aronica is getting on and he's Championship standard, so even if he's only 18 I'll throw Digne in as a regular next year, he'll get ripped a few times but it'll pay off eventually.
