*** The Official Football Manager 2009 Thread ***

Dunno lol. The 6 awards are Manager of the Year for 6 seasons. Do yours include Manager of the Month aswell? I don't think Spain has ManagerOTM.

They are MOTM awards. I was getting my hopes up there but they're not as good as your awards :p
 
I've just finished season 3 in my save as Fulham. (I don't get as much game time as some). Managed a credible 6th place finish, which after a 16th and 12th the previous seasons made me happy.

Lewandowski finished my top scorer with 20 goals, but it was my midfield that was the platform for my success with Carlos Eduardo, Rafael Carioca, Jimmy Bullard and Davide Santon being outstanding.

About to start season 4 and very optimistic, made happier by Arsenal going bust and me being able to pick up Van Persie £7m and Ramsey for £4m. I also have a few regens ready to throw into the fray this season so hoping to cement another top 6 finish and improve in the domestic cups, not to forget a good debut in the UEFA Cup.
 
Just selling one of my best regens, barely play him though, had a bid of £80m, which i negotiated and then managed £157m, £90m upfront rest installments, Real Madrid...mugs.
 
syke, my word! Get him sold :p

I wasn't looknig forward to the regen's but I cant wait now! Signed some more 17+ PA / CA scouts that Ive got working all year around in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France and South America looking for under 21's.

Found a decent keeper from Newcastle called Bruce Walker. Heard of him?

Yeah i get a few like that.

Right decisions, got £157m to spend.

Aguero - £46m?
Ronaldo - £80m
Messi - £100m
Silva - £88m
Fabregas - £?
Benzema - £?

Who would you go for?

Decided on Messi, got him for £49m in the end but with 40% of next sale, just don't let me sell him.

I was going to say, Messi doesn't cost £100m. When I'm Man Utd I have managed to get him for £45m twice and as Man City £49m (release clause). Get Ronaldo as well! :p

This is my City team right now -

Will look at getting Ronaldo. Got Thiago Neves, though.

1 of those conceded is in the league, and not lost all season.

Beaten Barca twice this season, and they're clinging on to qualifying;

Highlighted is Barcelona, top is me;

:D
 
Yeah, that's a really good defensive record. I think I'll let in less goals my defence reach their PAs, all of them have a little way to go.

Considering replacing Robinho as well at the end of the season, though I need to find a striker who can play a free role well to fit in with my tactics (all the front 4 play free roles, left and right wing regularly swap positions).

Good job on Barca :p I'm keeping Madrid out of qualifying too...

well after my amazing second season coming joint 2nd but actually 5th because of goal difference i got a huge transfer budget and improved the squad in many way

but now im doing AWFUL. got beat by bristol city 4-1 in the league. a matter of time before i get sacked i reckon. cant seem to do anything to turn it around :(
 
Fantastic...

PC decided to BSOD whilst I was saving my game :( Farnborough save is now corrupted. Starting my new save now however i'll most likely randomise the team this time rather than trying the challenge. Really can't be arsed to sit through an hours worth of holiday time before I start playing.
 
seem to of turned around my bad run with 4 wins in a row. still sitting down in 12th though which is rather poor considering my board gave me 50m for transfers in the summer :o

my players seem to not hate me anymore though which i guess can only help!
