April 08. Kilmarnock have sacked 3 managers. The last one (Billy Brown) only lasted a week!

Tangoman has taken over. He was available after all...


Dec 08. Tango has gone as well now. 20 games without a win...

So in 18 months, Killie are on their 5th manager...

Championees Championees!!! biggrin.gif

I'd like to say it was all down to incredible tactics but it was mainly due to getting David Templeton on loan from Hearts and Steven Doris on loan from St. Johnstone.

I've only played 30 league games and Doris has scored 34!!! ohmy.gif biggrin.gif

Recieved the game today and started a game with Brechin.

Signed Scott McLean and Gary Smith on free's and I've started the season quite well.

Three games gone in the league and I've beaten Queens Park 2-1, Ross County 1-0 (90th minute winner) and drew 2-2 with Berwick.

Also beat Albion Rovers in the CIS before getting knocked out by Gretna. Beat Morton away in the Challenge Cup but face Ross County away in the 2nd round. sad.gif

I am sitting in 6th place in Decemeber of the second season with Wednesday. Finsihed 11th last year. My chairman sold my two Finnish guys, gutted. They were class.

Pompey, Sunderland and Wigan are running away with the title. Pompey and Sunderland were both 17 games unbeaten for a bit. Pompey have Collochinni at the back, dominant!

Mo Kallon loves me, he is class!

How did you get him to sign for you? The first game I played before the patch, I offered him his requested wage, and he snubbed me and went to the juniors. Fair enough. After I started new patched game, I offered 4 times his wage demands, and he still signed for Bathgate, and bear in mind, we're in the 1st Division. huh.gif

Promoted in first season, sitting nicely in the 2nd division after 10 games.....then suddenly dont score for 7 games.

I've never been so pissed off in my life! What the f**k do I have to do?!?!?!?

Don't sign anybody and slag them all off. I made the mistake of signing, pretty much, a new eleven simply of attacking midfielders and strikers in the second quarter of the season. They all came in on the 1st of January and couldn't even get into my first eleven. They swallowed up a huge part of my budget too and I started making a loss. So I then just pushed for promotion into the English Premier League, which I did as Champions. Starting the next season in a few weeks after a few pre-season friendlies. Mind you, on the plus side, I did manage to win about 12 games on the trot and carried onto the end of the season with 19 games undefeated in a row.

Oh, England won the European Cup and Arsene Wenger is now the manager of France.

I've just started my third season as Gers boss. Won the league in the previous two seasons, firstly on the last day of the season from Hibs and the second at a canter. Unfortunately my record in the cups is shocking (which the board keep reminding me about) and although I've been in the Group stages of the Champs League twice I've been pretty rank.

My name was linked with the Real Madrid job during the summer, although I was never offered it.

This season will probably be my last as the Gers gaffer one way or the other. If I win the league again, I'm going to actively look for another job in England or Spain. I may get the sack though, as I've sold off a few players and have decided to play the young players that I've been building up for the last two seasons, along with a couple of stalwarts.

My first eleven this season is:

GK: Oler Olazabal (19)

WBR: Thiago (18)

CB: Carlos Cuellar (28)

CB: Kirk Broadfoot (25)

CB: Nicholas Gallacher (19)

WBL: Razvan Rat (28)

MC: Barry Ferguson (31)

MC: Paul Emslie (21) / Hossam Ghaly (27) (Emslie can't play three games on the bounce!!!)

AMC: Jelle Vossen (20)

FC: Kris Boyd (26)

FC: Steven Naismith (23)

So it's one last tilt at the title and Europe with the Gers before moving onto pastures new!

Apolgies, my friend said there was a link for a patch to make the game better? Can anyone give me the link, and before anyone says theres 155 pages!

I just offered him a contract and he came to me. He's only on £15 a week as well! He knocked back Bathgate Thistle to come to Brechin.
KnightswoodBear
Seriously folks, if you can get a hold of him Jelle Vossen is well worth a punt. I picked him up for 180k from Genk. I stuck him in the reserves for most of his first season and gave him a few first team games towards the end of last season.

Now I've stuck him in the first team and either play him up front or in behind the front two. The guy is a goals and assist machine with 10 goals and 5 assists from 12 games. He's now worth £3 mil.

I reckon any team in the SPL would be able to get him as he only asked for £1,500 a week and Genk didn't put up any kind of fight for him.
Mushroom
I think I've finally got the league swap to get Scotland into the German league structure cracked, with only a couple of moderate glitches that I cant fix.

Crashed first time round, but I think that had nothing to do with the structure.

How has he done for you anyway? I only wanted to sign him for nostalgia reasons.

Totally agree signed him for villa but he's languishing in the reserves, good prospect.
Genk also have a great keeper who I also signed
And standard have a world class attacking mid only 19

I don't get to play it too much and I am still in the first season in La Liga B, with Malaga. Top of the league and only 7 games left. However, only 1 point between the top five teams. The bookies made us favourite for the drop before a ball was kicked, so whatever happens it will have been a good season. I think Friday will be the next time I get a game of it. League glory beckons! smile.gif

Signed Vossen for my Watford side, he better be good!
Shawfield Stallion
Well, 14 games into my first SPL season with Clyde I'm 6th, 13 points behind Hibs who are top.

Very happy with my team so far, which is

David Hutton

Mikey McGowan Neil McGregor, Sean Dillon, Eddie Malone

Sean Mackle, Bruno Aguiar, Stevie Masterton, Nastja Ceh

Colin Nish, Keigan Parker

Nish is a goal machine, 11 in 14 so far, and Parker has 5

If you're a first (maybe even second) division team the I recommend Sean Mackle from Falkirk - I signed him for 12k and, after one and a half season he's worth £190k and I just turned down Rangers who offered me £300k + bonusus for him.

Registering players? What's all this then? All I have to do is submit their squad numbers

Haven given up on the new FM, I put my old CM01/02 back in last night, with the challenge of starting off as an English Conference team to Champions League winners within 10 seasons (not all at the one club).

Started off as Farnborough and from my first twelve games, I lost 1, drew 3 and won 8, putting me two points off of Morecambe at the top of the Conference.

I then applied for, and was offered, the post at Dunfermline, so within three months I have risen from Conference manager to SPL manager. My target's to keep them up, which should be pretty easy given they were in 9th when I took over and Partick are dreadful at the bottom.
