Triumph And Tragedy Of Football Manager :2010 Edition

Beckford is ace though, he gets the ball and just runs straight through the defence, same with Vieri who I got on a free, it works, although since Beckford got back from injury, in about 5 games he hasn't scored, but that could be because the whole team has been playing shit, but he has had chances, just kept on getting them saved.

so hes selfish but it works fairplay but as you say when he gets injured the team will suffer and when you get promoted it wont work in say championship even if it does doubt he has prem level amount of skill to turn there defences inside out

Yeah I know it won't work in Premiership, I will probably get promoted then move on anyway.

Move on after getting them to the Premiership? Man, that's something I can never bring myself to do, if I get a team promoted I'm so fiercely determined to make sure they survive that I have to stick with them. No way I'm leaving it to Ian Dowie or whoever to fuck it up.

Even if I get to the championship I will.

I cannot last two seasons at any club, and it's much easier to move onto a bigger club after one good season, rather than being sacked after a good one then a bad one.

traitor !

The only player I give any creative freedom is Dorrans who's role I've put as advanced playmaker,Formation I play is

4-1-2-2-1

So GK,4 defenders(Obviously),One DM, then two central midfielders,one on support and then Dorrans on attack as advanced playmaker,two wingers and then a striker.Won the championship in my first season,Hope I can keep us up this year.Brought in quite a few players who went onto free transfers to strengthen the squad but I have to play the World Cup first as Egypt,with Spain in my group.

Well my progress with Bosnia in the Euros has been better than expected so far. First game I lost 2-1 to the Netherlands (also only my first competitive game in charge), second game I beat Poland 4-2 and final game of the group stages I somehow managed to beat Germany 3-0 despite Germany dominating for the first 40mins. Onto the knockout round now to face Belgium, who I'm now expecting to beat. Think the only reason I haven't been annihilated is Asmir Begovic, as the defence is dreadful, only had one half decent defender (Spahic) so had to ask Sasa Papac to come out of retirement, but if either of them gets injured then I think I'm screwed.

How do you ask people to come out retierment?

Only when you're an international manager and they're still playing club football, it's an option in player interaction. I was one of his favoured personnel anyway, so that probably helped in getting him to agree.

Shite! Beaten 3-2 after extra time by Belgium. I beat germany 3-0 but go out to Belgium, WTF? And it would be one of my players at club level that would score the winning goal wouldn't it. Fuck it, the Scotland job just came up and I'm sure I could win something with them if they gave me the chance.

I hope you get more appreciation in 2011, I took Darlo up to the prem and won a League Cup and the fans and board were "satisfied"...

I want statues, parades, national holidays in my honour!

bosnia beat england 3-0 on mine in qorld cup qualifers just had a look

euro qualifiers sorry

in my game, the semi finalists for the 2010 world cup were

Cameroon (3rd)
Russia (winners)
Argentina (2nd)
Saudi Arabia (4th)

Well just won everything I could possibly ever win at club level in one season (all domestic trophies, Champions League, European Super Cup, Club World Cup) Anybody else managed it in this years version? Think it's been few games (maybe FM2007) since I've managed to achieve this, and to do it with Rangers who start with no money is all the sweeter.

kinda got a bit hooked last night, played until 3:30 am

As Bristol City got knocked out in the play off semi's after finishing 6th in the league, and now i've signed some quality players for the 2nd season so here we go

Drew with Bayern Munich in a pre season freindly 2-2 and beat Fulham 2-0, looks promising as i've just won my first game 5-2
