***** Official Football Manager 13 Thread *****

First time in 14 years of playing CM/FM that I've been sacked :( Had an awesome first team at Blackpool including Wellington Nem, Doria, Adryan and Cidinho - playing 4-2-3-1 but my form dipped horrendously from play-offs to 16th - at one point losing 8 out of 10.

Applied for the WHU job for a laugh and they sacked me. Can't believe it. The girlfriend and her flatmate aren't really being sympathetic... they don't understand.

When you are doing badly, never apply for jobs. 85% you get sacked.

Looks like I've found that out the hard way :p I never normally do that badly, but I've gone on holiday and been offered the Barnet and Bishop Stortford jobs... looks like I thought I little too highly of myself! haha
 
I'm gonna get sacked lol.

I'm still doing bad with Defensa y Justica. Half way through the league, and I sit last with 15 points. 18th and 19th place have 17 points. I bought a few players, but I am paying some 4k more than the wage budget expected.

in Argentina, you have a month of friendlies between the two parts of the season, AND I CAN'T WIN A FRIENDLY!! 3 draws and 1 loss. I am so annoyed with this team!

I applied for 4 jobs (LOL!) and I'm almost definitely getting the sack now, just like toshj.

The 4 jobs are Nimes Olympique, RC Lens (Ligue 2), Lexoes (2nd Div Portugal) and Lazio (Serie A). Prob won't get any of these jobs, but I can't stand this team anymore.

The team is good, but they just won't play well.

Gonna press continue now......

Lets see if I get sacked!
 
WOW!

Today I started a game with a team I know NOTHING about, never seen play, nothing! I started with Notts Forest.

I grabbed a few players as I had a pretty high budget...played a few games, not too shabby results...then, 2nd round of the Capital One Cup I get drawn against Swansea...Oh no...oh wait...my team managed the impossible! I won 3-1 against a full strength Swansea team!!

I'll share my team with you aswell, why not.

Another thing, I did get Macheda on loan, but instead of hitting reject I hit accept by mistake so had to end his loan myself. I'm happy with my team and that Daniel Ayala will be making a permanent move in the winter to Forest for £4M spread over 2 years...
 
Haha, this youngster I'm, after on loan has wages of £55 p/w. Default loan contribution was set to 50%. Loan refused due to them wanting a greater wage contribution... :rolleyes:

Indeed. I was given £4M or something and told the board I wanted promotion...they bumped it to like £7M or something. I sold some guys I didn't want, and got most of mine on 2 or 3 year deals...may prove to be a bad move, but I'm good right now...:p
 
Couple of things - what's the difference between a regen and a newgen? And also has anyone had the bug of sponsorship money not working properly? One of the teams I subscribe to has had a record sponsorship deal signed for £1...:eek:

Regen = old name for new players (originally a real player retired and their stats were just given to a kid)

Newgen = the newly generated players in modern fm.

They mean pretty much the same thing now as regen = newgen in modern fm, just historic different names for the different ways new players came in :)

Haven't seen the sponsorship one yet, though I haven't played enough to see it come up :eek:

Only think I have found is transfer deadline day takes AGES to process if you are not involved (aka non-league)

Right, so if Giggs retires one year his attributes (actual attributes plus CA and PA get given to a kid with a new name - or just is PA?). I must have been playing this game blind to have completely missed all of this :D

After leaving Blackpool in 15th (they finished 21st! but are now 3rd) I was offered jobs by just-relegated Barnet, Bishops Stortford, Welling, Woking and Northampton, but I knew I had some League One in me and was finally given the job by Notts. Co. Bit annoyed I missed the close season, but I always feel the game gets good after the first season finishes. Got in to work and realised I felt my laptop lead at the girlfriends... no FM for a few days :(

edit - also, how do you know if they're regens or newgens, or is it obvious/playing by memory?

Lol didn't explain that quite right, old FM (pre 07 I think) new players were regens, so Giggs was reborn as some 16 year old.

Modern FM doesn't do that (mostly because it's lazy) so you only get newgens, but because its been ages both names are now used for the newly generated players (takes a lot for people to let go of something like that).

How did you break Blackpool? Thought you had everything?!?!

Notts co. should be good though, decent squad this season that should do alright in L1, no idea on the money from though. I'm still Bishops Stortford in the semifinal of the FA Vase :D (need to win it really as I have never bothered before, like the jpt)

Ah right, I see. Got it now. Blackpool I'd signed the three minimum fee release players (Doria, Adryan and Wellington Nem) as well as Ince and Matty Phillips and I was being dominated.

The Notts. Co. route seems just as tricky - most of the decent players have gone and their previous manager was blown the wage budget on some awful players.

B Stortford in the BS Prem?

Didn't they use to ask for names and pictures of people wanting to be in the game to become the regens?
