Had a quick check on the forum but can't find the answer to my question - How do you get your team full time? I am playing as Raith Rovers, I'm in my fourth season, my entire first team and reserve squads are on full-time contracts, yet I am still referred to as 'Part-time Raith Rovers' etc. Not a major complaint right enough, just curiosity really.

Cant you not just go to the board room and request it?

No, there's no option to request to go full-time.

Thanks anyway.

Same happens with me at Shire. My first team & reserves have been full-time for 4 seasons now, and still we're still classed as a part time team.

Released Markus Paateleinan, brought in Dave MacKay on a free, to add to my transfers in previous post.

Had INverness in first game of season, took the lead on 4 seperate occasions, and they pulled me back 4 times. Scored their 4th equaliser in 94th minute! mad.gif

Well finished my first season with the Diamonds in 4th place in Division 1, had a really bad spell before Christmas in which the teams above me pulled away a bit and then inconsistency meant I just couldn't catch up!

Just started the 07/08 season today and only signed a couple of new players to beef up the squad as there wasn't a good transfer budget put forward for the second year running.

Won 2 of my pre-season friendlies, 2-0 over Alloa and 4-0 in what could be described as a controversial fixture...
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q310/th...ebankresult.jpg

Also lost 2-1 to Rangers who were last seasons SPL winners and drew 1-1 with Aberdeen who won the Scottish Cup. So onto the season iself, lost 1-0 in the opening game away to newly promoted Morton. Then beat Brechin 2-0 in the League cup first round and defeated Ross County 3-1 in my second leage game. Next up is Falkirk in the Challenge Cup!

Here is the squad I've got for this season...

Currently Dumbarton in season 09/10, took over half way through 07/08 when they were 9th and managed to finish 4th that season and beat Stenny on penalties in the play-off final. Then last season in the second finished 2nd and beat Morton on away goals.

Now in the first at the table is like this

Tightest league I've ever seen with only 3 points separating 8 teams so everyone still has a good chance of promotion but still not safe from the relegation play-off.

If any ones up for no challenge whatsoever, go shakhtar donetsk, the chairman is the richest guy in ukraine so you get a HUGE budget and the rest of the teams in the league don't really pose much of a threat, make the right signings its pretty easy to win the champions league as well.

it probably is, but it made a change from getting humped every week in the first division when i was the albion, its always nice to have a bit of money to throw around to be able to build a fantastic team, I don't always have the patience to do it from scratch rolleyes.gif

I jacked in my most recent game, resigned around November where I was on a run of 9 or 10 league defeats in a row. What is really frustrating is that I din't lose any of the side that finished 4th the previous season and added to the squad with some decent players.

No matter what I did however we still got beat, tried changing players around, different team talks etc but it just wasn't working! Majorly frustrating!

Think next time I start I'll either edit the leagues so they are set up the way next seasons will be or wait for a patch that does that, then maybe I can get us out of Division 2!

I have just started a new game with Ross County but this is just really frustrating me because i have beat Hibernian and then i beat Dundee United in the cup easily. Then when i came up to easier teams in the league i get hammered.

Into my second season with Queens Park. Won the 3rd division on the last day of the season. I was 2 points ahead of East Fife with one game left.

I was due to play 9th placed East Stirling at home and East Fife were away to Albion. Albion scored a last minute equaliser to finish the East Fife game 2-2. Thank God they equalised because I lost 2-1! laugh.gif

Finished 6th with the Shire in my second season in the First, an improvement on the previous year but should have finished higher but had a poor run at the end.

Had a bit of a clear out, with Ray Jellama, Rom Bouadji ( sad.gif ), Richard Walker, Steven Anderson & Paul Emslie all leaving. Stevie Nicholson and Markus Paatelainen are on month to month contracts till I decide on them. Adam Ward and Kevin Ross' loans ended

In come Craig Conway from St Johnstone, and Steven Donnelly, a right back from Hibs. Both on frees. Also promoted my youth keeper, Andy Cooper, to the first team.

Chris Millar has never played at centre half, it's a mistake in the game, he's an attacking midfielder. wink.gif

I've just started a game with FK Vozdovac Beograd, who play in the Serbian Superleague. They have a pretty good young squad and finish 3rd in the league last year. I'm expected by the board and supporters to finish mid-table, which should be easily achieved.

So far, I've signed 30-year-old experienced Albanian International central defender Geri Cipi on a free transfer - he's pretty solid, well our best centre back anyway. I've also signed 36-year-old Bosnian International attacking midfielder Edin Mujcin on a free transfer as well.

We have the smallest stadium in the league, it's a 3150 all-seater stadium.

I've played 2 friendlies so far, the first one I beat Heroj 5-0 and the second one I drew 1-1 with Fc Arges. The next and last friendly is against Ceske Budejovice then it's on to the proper stuff, starting with Partizan at home.

I hade a game with Vozdovac. Although it is to late i sugest you load all players from all the former yugoslav states as there are some good players on the cheap. Loans from Red Star and Partizan are recomended, and yes they have a very good youth system!

Speaking of which, my first Friendly ended: SV 07 Elvesborg 0-1 Lierse.

Just finished my first season as QP boss there as Champions of the Third Division biggrin.gif

Had my 13 point Christmas lead cut by on form East Stirling to two points ahead of a last day encounter against, you guessed it East Stirling at Hampden. Had been on a disappointing run of form in the run up to the game but it didn't matter and I won 3-0, all goals being scored in the opening 20 minutes of the match, bring on Division Two!

Have you checked each individual scout's "scouted players" screen? It doesn't come back to you any more the players that they've scouted, so you have to look at this screen. I didn't realise for a while either.

Bolstered my Queen's squad well in preparation for my first season in the Second Division, David White was signed for Brechin while young Defensive Midfielder Andy Dick was bought for 4K from East Fife. Sold Tommy Sinclair to Ayr for 2K and Stevie Ferguson to Alloa for 5K also.

Had a very good pre-season in which 1st Division sides Falkirk and Morton were both beaten by two clear goals, I did get beat 7-1 by Celtic Reserves at Airdrie however. Started the league season with a fantastic 4-0 win away at Cowdenbeath and followed it up with a League Cup 1st Round win against Alloa Athletic. Suffered a 2-1 loss to Clyde, managed a Challenge Cup win over The Shire and drew 1-1 with Stirling Albion before losing at Pittodrie in the League Cup 2nd Round by 2-1 thanks to a 92nd minute goal by Darren Mackie sad.gif

Next up is Partick Thistle at Hampden in the next round of the Challenge Cup, bring them on!

2015-2016 season now, next summer I get my new stadium biggrin.gif

Currently losing 350k a month though, just because of the interest payments on my new stadium!

Worked it out, that when I get the new ground, I should be in around 3.5 million of debt, but the bigger crowds etc will hopefully make it so I break even, and in 4/5 years time I should be back in the black again.

Trying to avoid relagation this season.
