Not sure if I've got there yet, might have done though :)

My only seasons in England were with Newport County, took them from the Blue Square South to League 1. As soon as I had the nod that promotion from League 2 was secured I accepted the Stuttgart job.

Took some of my coaches with me, and one or two players who I knew had potential.

It's pretty cool, I think I've got about 2 or 3 members of staff that have been with me since day 1 in the game :)

I'd really like to accept a Premier League job in England, but I'll only take United if they offer... But they've just won the Champions League and the Premier League so I doubt that offer will come soon.

Although saying that Man United have bought about 5-6 players off me in the last two seasons... so it'll still feel like the same team. Not really the change I'd fancy.

Inter Milan might be a route to take, finished 6th in Serie A this season so they obviously need a bit of work... I could take some of my youngsters from Stuttgart over and build up Inter I suppose!

Still searching for that manager of a country job though :o The right ones haven't come knocking yet.

I'm in the hall of fame twice. :confused::D


Twice now, in separate games, I've been approached to become the manager for the Czech Republic. No idea why they always choose me. :confused::)

Maybe they like you :p

I didn't take the Inter job, stayed with Stuttgart and made one signing this summer for £37m... Bojan from Barca (he's 25 in my game now). Got a new French youngster just broke into my first team called Zola (:D) and he's looking really promising.

Tried signing Messi and Fabregas as well in this window but they both went to Man United (both around £16m :eek: bargin!)

United are looking rediculously strong with some of the talent they've got.

They sold Ronaldo in say 2009 seasons ago for about £30m+ then got him back in roughly 2012...

Also got that International job after the Euro's, applied for all that became available and they all accepted. Stuck between England, Holland and France... Decided France as I've got a fair few French youngsters in my squad so I may give them a chance in some friendlies.

Perhaps they do. :cool:

Utd silly with Ronaldo. How much did they pay to get him back? And top stuff with Messi and Fabregas. :D

Seems I lied about the price tag for Ronaldo...

From someone who has been involved in FML for a while be prepared for a long process and many nights of server downtime.

On the game itself, dont expect miracles from the start and when selecting your coaching style, go for tactics to start.

?!? :( not what it was cracked up to be?

I heard about the skill training... like eve-online from what i can make out. like 30 days to train lvl 5 scouting etc. interesting theme

I was joking. I don't think FML will be all it is cracked up to be mind. I think it will be a nice little side project for SI. :)
 
Update on my game

I am basically harrogate, nothing changed bar Reputation. Which was silly of me as i know have very high expectations, which i can't live up to

very poor squad

and i missed out on Adam Rooney/Luke Steele, and had to make do with some poor championship players
