Yas, secured First Divison football when I went on holiday. QOS and Ross County got relegated (QOS through the play-off's - Alloa beat them!) So I assume Morton and Alloa will go up. Falkirk got relegated, and Gretna I'm sure got promoted.

If you turn on spanish leagues, you can find Mateusz Cieluch(i think) and hes amazing. Midfielder who has been scoring nearly all my goals. He only costs 10k but can rise to 200k in a maximum of 1 season! This should continue to grow i hope!

Yay - new season.

I have brought in:

Tom Winters (Free - East Fife)
Fraser Stewart (Aberdeen)
Markus Paateleian (Free - Cowdenbeath)
Tam McManus (Falkirk. Swap deal with Craig Bryson plus I got £4k
Teddy Bjarnson (Free - Celtic)
Paul Shields (Free - Livingston)
Alex Walker (Free - Morton)
Dean Keenan (£2k - Morton)
Gramae Churchill (Free after he was released by Falkirk)
Paul McManus (Free - Raith Rovers)

Offloaded a few players aswell.

edit: Stewart was bought on a free
Mushroom
A combination of terrible luck, injuries/suspensions and having to much faith in my squad. I got relegated from the SPL at the first time of asking again.

I think I have done something very clever though. All the players I wanted to keep are signed up until next season, and I have tied up some players my scouts found for next year that are easily SPL level.

I did notice I overrated my own players though and didn't want to drop/replace some guys. I have decided to be a hard ass with the team over the summer and Grant Smith, Craig Bryson (the only guy I've kept from the beginning) Scott Agnew, Andy Wright, Dayne Robertson and Andrew Shinnie all transfer listed or not getting their contracts renewed. Craig Sives, Scott Arfield, John Kane, Williams Stanger and Mark Reynolds will have to buck up their ideas though if they want to play at SPL level. Kenny Walker and Malcolm Macari are probably going to get farmed out on loan somewhere.

Grr.

Raff - If you go up to the SPL, keep an eye on Paatalianen's ratings, I get the feeling that the first division is very much his level in the game(much like my list with Sives and Stanger) Fraser Stewart is quite good though, hes providing some great backup to Sean Murdoch in my game.

He is pish for me for the First Divison!

I'm going to play Stewart instead of Greg Fleming now. I also got a lad on loan from Aston Villa (feeder club) Stephen Henderson I think it was, going to play him aswell.

If you want money go for Queens Park, if you want more of a challenge, go Berwick (1k transfer, improves next season.) Bad wages too mind!

Massive clearout after (just) staying up.

12 players freed, Marvin Andrews (34 now) and Livvy offered £110K, but Marvin wont go mad.gif

In are the best players from Relegated Clyde and play off losers Hamilton, still can't attract player from the Premier League, must be this damned part time status.

I spent 3 years managing Oxford and then quit after the fans were being arsewipes because i applie for a better job.

Spent about 5 months unemployed only to see managerless Berqwick at the bottom of the table. Brought in McAnespie, A spaniard and two Serbians and the team rocketed to 4th. Won the playoffs and the board loved me. spent Half a year in the bottom 4 of Division 2 and then brought in a few players who the put me up into 2nd. Won the playoffs again and cleared out the squad. Brought in a team of loanees, freebies and a few transfers and got them in 4th in the league when the managerless jambos (no surprise) offered me the job. Brought Hearts up to 2nd in the league with the league all but over.

Go Glentoran, solid challenge as they are in the UEFA Cup, the domestic competitions are easy but UEFA is almost impossible to even get past the first qualifying round

although, with my managering expertees im sure i cud win the UEFA Cup with them cool.gif

Sacked from Hibernian for asking for transfer funds.

Finished 2nd in the league as CIS Cup Winners and Scottish Cup runners up and was given 40K to sustain a title challenge for the Second season. Then sold Scott Brown for £4.5M expecting to get a cut for transfers.

No, got an extra 2K to spend. So requested some funds and despite the club being in a healthy financial position was refused and sacked for interfering in boardroom matters. Applied for the vacant Scotland job only to be pipped to the job by Craig Levein.

Still unemployed and the jobs at Rotheram or Aldershot don't tickle my fancy, so to speak.

Dalziel is Dunfermline manager in my game (Feb 2011, or season 5) blink.gif Alex McLeish has just been sacked from bottom of the 1st division Kilmarnock, and Levein and O'Neill are back at Hearts and Celtic respectively.

I'm cruising towards the SPL with Albion Rovers, 10 points clear of Motherwell with 12 games to go, only slight problem is I've sold 2 of my best players for £1.2m combined during the window, but even though I have money, no-one wants to sign for Albion Rovers because of our low reputation.

Just started season 4, side looks solid with my usual quota of Hibs loanees.

Super signing so far Fraser MacLaren from Gretna, 3 goals in 3 games, and midfielder Grant Smith ex Dundee Utd was top signing for the season just passed.

Nope no cheating what so ever. I was England as well, got knocked out in the quarter finals and sacked staight after. laugh.gif

My line up in the final was:

Gordon
Wilson - Kennedy - Webster - Naysmith
Burke - Ferguson - Brown - McCulloch
Miller - McFadden

I started the tournament with Maloney on the left but he got injured early on. Fletcher played the full tournament as well untill getting injured in the semi's so missed out on the final, think i could have won it if he had been playing. I'm sitting 7th in the Fifa rankings as well. Had England sitting 1st but totally flopped at the tournament an got knocked out by Holland.

taken the mighty raith rovers from 2nd division to premier league, bought devine and obrien from albion and micheal moore from stranraer, jamie mcdonald on loan from hearts, keigan ayres from hibs, alan rattray from Forfar as well. signed some more unknowns in the first division along with a couple of the the younger dundee players notably ross forbes, who is quality, holding my own in the premier after signing zaliukas from the jts who are 15 points clear.

A very strange thing happened to me.

I'm currently boss of Dundee Utd, I drew my bogey team Dunfermline in the Scottish cup and after slaughtering them for 90mins they somehow managed to hang on for a draw, in the replay I was baying for blood and we were 3-0 up in ten minutes.

Needless to say the scores went from 3-0 to 3-1, 4-1 and 4-2, then in the last minute bang bang and it's 4-4!

Extra time saw us take the lead straight away and have 2 more flagged offside, the Pars c***s typically scored another last minute equiliser!

On came the penalties and we missed our first three, we were out, a total sickner made worse by the fact that we had either Berwick or Hamilton in the quarters.

Then a few days later I got a news message telling me that we will play Berwick in the next round after they beat Hamilton 2-1, I checked our Pars result and the pens had changed, we had won 3-1!

Now, just before the Berwick game I see i'm due to play Hamilton, after their result has changed to 3-2!

WTF laugh.gif

Just had my best result in my first season of any game.....

St Mirren 5-1 Celtic biggrin.gif laugh.gif

Apparently Celtic didn't deserve to lose!

Oh, and Celtic fan John Potter didn't like me gloating in the media afterwards..........Rangers fans Kirk Broadfoot and Stewart Kean loved it! laugh.gif
