You know why Coppell joins don't you? He was at Utd as a player and in FM08 is listed as a favourite of the fans. In past FM versions whenever I got sacked :o Hughes would take over from me.
 
I think its more that Utd inevitably suffer from the loan debt and so they turn to old favourites of the club who are now managers and turn to them to reverse the club's fortunes.
 
Looks like you are enjoying your game. :) Have been busy with Uni so I've only dabbled here and there. The problem with me supporting Utd is that I find it too hard to manage them with the Glazers and their debt imposed on the club. So I edit the Glazers and the debt out of the game. Then it doesn't feel like a proper game. :p

Just remembered that I had a game where I somehow walloped Chelsea 6-2 or something silly in the Champions League Semi final first leg. How could I lose the second leg?

Well I set entirely the wrong tactic and by the time I noticed the aggregate score was 7-6 to them. :o
 
There is an available jobs section, lists the financial security of the club as well as the manager.

I'll load FM up now and find it. :)

Edit: Yeah click on Manager at the top, then Jobs. On the next screen look to your left or right menu and change it from Job Centre to Job Security. You then get a list of managers from the leagues your game is running, their job security and finances. :)

Marc, just been looking back through the thread and was wondering what skin you're using? Looks very old school CM (97/98 stylee). Cheers.

It is Metallic (right). Meant to be similar to FM08's default skin. It is made by Marc Ackter if that helps. :)

Edit: Found a link for you. :) http://fmclub.extra.hu/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=0&func=fileinfo&id=409

^^ thanks :)

edit: just found a database which 'starts' 1st January 2110 - presumably someone went on holiday for ages.

Arsenal are the richest club by a long way (worth over 1bn) whereas Chelsea are in L2. Quite interesting to look at even if people don't fancy playing it.

No probs. I think it looks nicer than the default skin. :)

Started a new game with Exeter in L2 (updated the database following the play-off finals) and am having unbelieveable luck with injuries. Out of my squad of 25 players:

Wood was injured when I brought him in but the rest have all happened recently. We're outside of the transfer window so it's a case of trying to bring in loanees but I've already used up 2 of my short-term loans and it's not an easy task getting good players to come to L2.

Think I may need to tweak my training schedules as 6 of those players are central midfields / AMC and the other 2 are wingers. It has left me very short in those positions!!

Ouch. :( Break a mirror recently? :p
 
My thoughts exactly. SI will be getting some money for doing this so hopefully this will mean they can get more staff in or otherwise expand the game development.

I think somewhere in that thread there is the point raised that teams could now get actual sponsors so where Utd have Nike and AIG, clubs could get equivalent sponsors where SI don't have the licence for the real club.
