Finally got the Beanos promoted at the 5th time of asking (lost in the play-off 4 times) and then decided to start a game with the Shire.
Signed virtually a new team and managed to finish 4th in first season
Team of:
Mathieson - Free
Caulfield - Free
Brittain - Free
St.McLean - Free
Soutar - Loan
Gardiner - Loan
Ross - Free
Sinclair - Free
Ure - Already a Shire player
Shields - Loan
Sc.McLean - Free
At the end of the season I sold Mathieson and Sc.McLean to bring in some money and reduce the feeble wage budget I have.
Two months into 2nd season, unbeaten in the league and still in the cups.
Team is now
Stewart - free from Killie
Caulfield
Howie - free from Dunfermline
Wild - free from Killie
Soutar - loan from Motherwell (again!)
Rawcliffe - free from St Mirren
Barkey - free from Elgin (3rd Division player of the season last year)
Gardyne - Loan from Celtic
Ure
Shields - £1k from Raith
Brown - free from Stirling.

I have begun today, gradual work on a new patch some folk might find interesting.
Inspired by a lacklustre effort on Sortitoutsi.net, I am going to create a legends patch for FM. It will be a very gradual effort as I don't fancy scunnering myself off it, but will include several hundred legendary figures from world football from the 1950's onwards.
All players will be 17/18 year olds with decent ability (135-155) and high potential (170-200), and will start out as free transfers at the beginning of the game. (Medium ability at the start allows most clubs to have a shout of signing a player or two)
Most of their stats will be randomised, apart from exceptional cases. But the high potential, should see every player turn out a superstar with the right coaching.
I don't know how to create a new database from scratch, so it may be a case of me creating this pack and uploading the save file from day 1, to the net.

Someone will be able to tell me this, but the game doesn't refer back to the database once a save game is created does it?
And would it be possible to make changes to the data base, then upload THAT rather than a save game? People could then edit it further, applying favorite clubs etc.

You're right it doesnt. If you change the DB you have to start a new game. Thats why the save game files are so large

My point is though, that when you modify the database in any way, it doesn't create a whole new set of files (which would be about 60-70MB a time). I was wondering if there was anyway around this, as the two patches I have Downloaded are about 60-70MB, but when I go into my db folder for FM2007, none of my new databases are there, just the Original, 7.0.1 and the two downlaoded ones.

Why is that? Everything else gets saved into the Program Files area, so why do user DB's get saved to a different location?

I think things like Tactics get moved there too....
Is it so on a multiuser computer, you don't get access to other peoples saved tactics?
It really annoying when you trying to move stuff off a small C: partition, but FM insists on dumping stuff there.

I resumed my game with Shire, in my second season. Currently sitting 4th in the Second Division, in mid February. Just ended a 8 match winning streak in the league with a defeat to Peterhead. Got into the 4th Round of the Scottish Cup, but got knocked out by Falkirk 2-1.

Started a new game as Sunderland in the Championship.
After quite a slow start, I'm now almost unbeatable at home, but just canny win away, it's frustrating me to the max. And what;s worse is, I nearly always go a goal up in the away games.
I'm also rubbish in the transfer market Brought in 10 players at the start of the season, all but two of them are either in the reserves or have been sold again.
Been playing ChampMan/FM since 1993, you'd think I'd be no bad at it by now

Na, I use the same system for most matches. I'll need to start experimenting with formations a bit more. Thing is, going a club like Sunderland in the Championship, they expect you to win the league in the 1st year. The board are already only 'satisfied' with my performance and I'm barely halfway through the first season.
As for transfers, I have bought one or two from the SPL, and Alan Gow and Ivan Sproule are joining in January
, yet the biggest success has been the signing of Rangers defender Jean Pierre Fan-Fan. Work that one out. Having just crowed about my home record, I've just drawn my last two home matches, after, you guessed it, being in the lead in both games.
Marvin Andrews has just returned to my squad, after being out with knee ligament trouble for 20 months.

Gowser is shit hot for me in my West Ham game! 3 seasons in, the under 18s tactic I did is bearing fruit now and 2 players, 16 and 19, have broke into the first team and are doing great. I'm never in thbe top half in teh leagues but I got in the UEFA cup final in my first season, won the League cup and got into the UEFA cup semi last season, and this season I'm still in the group stages and sitting 10th.
Fucking Stewart Gilmour!! 
My game in England is going swimmingly (have a British League setup going on), I have won back to back to back promotions from Conference North to League One.
I signed a shitload of youngsters at the start of the season on frees by puting 'no club' into the search bar, it's possible to find a few gems this way.
Anyway, of my current batch, Gilmour has decided to accept bids for them totalling £10.6m. OK, so St. Mirren aren't quite rich yet, but these players will be worth £25m each in 4 fucking years!
The centre half I've signed from ASEC in the Ivory Coast, just got in the team of the year at a canter and is shaping up nicely. And he decided to accept £2m from Milan for him......
I hope he now leaves it to rest, the financial situation is decent and big clubs are hovering above at least another half dozen of my young talents.
In the last season, I've knocked back AZ Alkmaar, Leeds, Spurs, Newcastle and Celtic. And this is how I am repaid.

They are all regens who cropped up after 2 seasons, so I don't know if they will come up or not. I also have the EU off, so any nation can join.
Lucas Diaz - Argentinian Goalkeeper, pretty immense and was vying for my number one spot all season, sold to River for £2.2m plus 20% sell on.
Joao Jose Ismael - Somalian midfielder, lynchpin of my side and supeb player. £3.8m plus 25% sell on to Roma
Alexander Sletten - Norweigan Left Back, in and out my side but was really starting to develop - £1.6m plus 30% sell on to Vitesse
Mamadou Kouame - Superstar Centre half for ASEC, sold for a measly £2m plus 20% to AC Milan
Giannois Sokratous - Cypriot left winger/Striker, £3.6m plus 40% sell on to Coventry
Alan Kerrigan - Scottish Stiker signed on a free from Colchester (who were one of the sides I moved to Scotland to accomodate my UK league), and Oldham (who are now in the same league as me) bid £2.5m plus 25% sell on.
I have raided the African leagues in search of mew talent, in come 3 strikers with promise from ASEC (who are now becoming an annual pilfering exercise), 3 Cameroonians from Coton Sport, an Algerian Striker from Kabylie and 5 young prospects from Scottish clubs.
None of my signings are over 21 years old. I like to nurture 'em myself.

So obviously I accepted, I now have a transfer budget of £650,000 and no room in the wage budget to bring anyone in. Delightful.
By the way if you have a spare grand a week ALi Daei despite being 37 is a goal machine

Gavin Rothery is the best young prospect ever!
I got him for free when I was in Division 2, and after 2 back to back promotions he has been the main man in my fantastic first spell in the SPL where I am 5th after 20 games.
Celtic, Spurs, and Bolton are all after him.

Joao Jose Ismael - Somalian midfielder, lynchpin of my side and supeb player. £3.8m plus 25% sell on to Roma
Alexander Sletten - Norweigan Left Back, in and out my side but was really starting to develop - £1.6m plus 30% sell on to Vitesse
Mamadou Kouame - Superstar Centre half for ASEC, sold for a measly £2m plus 20% to AC Milan
Giannois Sokratous - Cypriot left winger/Striker, £3.6m plus 40% sell on to Coventry
Alan Kerrigan - Scottish Stiker signed on a free from Colchester (who were one of the sides I moved to Scotland to accomodate my UK league), and Oldham (who are now in the same league as me) bid £2.5m plus 25% sell on.
I have raided the African leagues in search of mew talent, in come 3 strikers with promise from ASEC (who are now becoming an annual pilfering exercise), 3 Cameroonians from Coton Sport, an Algerian Striker from Kabylie and 5 young prospects from Scottish clubs.
None of my signings are over 21 years old. I like to nurture 'em myself.

Celtic were sitting in 6th at the time of the post but have now put together a 4 or 5 game winning streak to put them into third. The leagues tight as f**k.
Since the last post I have played 5 games and they've went like this:
CIS Cup Quarter Final - Aberdeen 4 - 1 Hibs (Miller 2, Beattie, Dempsey)
Scottish Premier - Aberdeen 2 - 2 Hearts (Miller, McGlinchey)
Scottish Premier - Rangers 2 - 2 Aberdeen (Beattie 2)
Scottish Premier - Motherwell 3 - 0 Aberdeen
Scottish Premier - Dunfermline 0 - 3 Aberdeen (Smith, Nicholson, Beattie)
I sit 4th in the league now with it really tight:
1st - Dundee United (33pts)
2nd - Rangers (30pts)
3rd - Celtic (29pts)
4th - Aberdeen (28pts)
5th - Inverness (26pts)
6th - Hearts (26pts)
With the January window approaching i've agreed a pre contract with Dunfermline's Gary Mason and signed free agents Duncan Ferguson and Dario Silva because McGlinchey and Beattie are due to leave within 5 days back to Celtic Park.

The January window has just closed and I've been pretty busy.
IN's
Duncan Ferguson - Free
Dario Silva - Free
Gary Mason - 60K from Dunfermline
Mike McGlinchey - 85K from Celtic
Derek Nicholls - 10K from Gretna
Charlie Adam - Loan from Rangers
Steven McDougall - Free
OUT's
Dario Silva - 30K to St Mirren (Had only just signed him but got McGlinchey on a permanent deal so no need)
Steve Lovell - 45K to St Mirren
Scott Severin - 1.1M to Charlton
Ricky Foster - Loan to Motherwell
Andy Bagshaw - Loan to Airdrie
Kyle MacAulay - Loan to Airdrie
Steven McDougall - Loan to Partick
The league is once again ridiculously close, six games since my last post:

2) Dundee Utd (41pts)
3) Aberdeen (37pts)
4) Celtic (37pts)
5) Inverness (33pts)
6) Hearts (32pts)
Into the Final of the CIS Cup against Hearts at Hampden and into the Scottish Cup 4th Round after a 4-0 win away at Airdrie United in which Big Dunc got a hat trick.

Gavin Rothery is the best young prospect ever!
I got him for free when I was in Division 2, and after 2 back to back promotions he has been the main man in my fantastic first spell in the SPL where I am 5th after 20 games.
Celtic, Spurs, and Bolton are all after him.

Just sold him to Burnley for £1.2M
Great bit of business. Finished the season in 7th place
Not bad for my first season in teh SPL, but I was hoping for top six after I had a flying start.
Went DC United of the USA for laughs, and what a laugh it is!
Some shite about roosters ect, and I randomly picked players (who happend to be the best players) up for sale or something, and I'm left with about 16 players, 5 of which were injured by my first game. Lost 6-2 with everyone playing in wrong positions due to the injury crisis (had a defender in goals) to Kansas City Wizards, but made a massive upset when I demolished Chicago 4-0 away, when I had a more of a selection, now I can sit down and sort the players in there positions. Signed Bingham, O'Neil and Berekeley(sp) from Gretna, but the deal goes through in August (I'm in May sometime now). Scott McDonald is a legend for my team

I'm starting a game with Columbus Crew in the MLS (also with Scotland and England in play, so I can bail!)
I chose The Crew because their Club Badge is class, its like a NWA album cover!
Also, best named player: Rusty Pierce - sounds sore.

Tip; dont let your waivers list consist of your best players, and dont do the random pick!

LA Galaxy are offering me a superpick for someone.
I want money, not some guitar-playing equipment, regardless of how "Super" it is.
Just secured my first Feeder Club - Peterhead!

Hence why my spell at LA Galaxy was short.
Half an hour, or thereabouts
Won the League and Challenge Cup with Brechin.
Dundee Utd got relegated to Division 1, and Livi & Hamilton got relegated to Div 2, so I nicked some of their players.
In the Challenge Cup Final again, against Dundee Utd, and I've got Falkirk in the League Cup Quarters after beating Aberdeen and Hearts. Sitting 3rd in the league.
Big Transfers in:
Mark Gilhaney
Lee Mair
Robert Snodgrass
Chris Templeman
Craig Conway.
