The Official Football Manager Thread

All talk related to the Football Manager franchise goes here.

My Bradford City save is going well, 1st in the Championship and getting some good players in the team. Omar Koroma = <3

Macc Town = Prem + Europa League <3

Bradistan in the muddafocking Prem!

Signed Antonio Adan, Arsenio Valpoort and Raul (THE Raul ) so far, got heaps to spend still.

That's right, no one else play the game so I'm lonesome.

Games in Prem so far:

1-2 V Liverpool
1-1 V Birmingham
0-1 V Manure (Rooney got sent off XD)
0-3 V Tottenham

Beat Stockport in the League Cup 2-1. Can't remember who I have in the Prem next. :/

Got Rooney sent off XD

It was his fault for doing a two-footed tackle from behind on Chris James.

LOL Macclesfield Town are 1-1 with Liverpool in the FA Cup Final :O

Currently playing West Brom. Very entertaining from both sides currently, I have a slight advantage I believe...

Goals:

24 minutes: Chris James plays Benjani into space, he's bearing down on goal, takes a shot from the edge of the area but is saved! Raul pounces on the rebound, but opts against the shot, he takes it to the by-line and has a pop! Knocked away! Orwubiko storms in and thunders in a rebound, and it's a GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! Bradford 1-0

27 minutes: The ball is played to di Santo, he's on the edge of the box, puts in a ball which nearly crosses the line, but Scanell scores! Some woeful defending by Appiah and terrible positioning by Adan was the cause for the goal... 1-1

33 minutes: This looks like a promising attack for West Brom, it's played around the edge of the box and Luke O'Brien makes a fantastic sliding tackle! Osei Sankofa collects the scraps on the right wing and fires a 60-yard through ball to Omar Koroma, he's got the pace, can he apply the finish? Yes he does, GGGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Bradford 2-1.

43 minutes: James runs down the wing and passes to Benjani, he goes back but looks like he is tackled. He regains the ball and plays a pinpoint pass to a running Raul, who hammers one into the back of the net! GGGGOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!! Bradford in control, 3-1 is the score.

55 minutes: Luke O'Brien gets the ball from the goalkick, he passes it to James who takes it up the line, he puts through a ball to Benjani who fires in a low ball to the box! It's deflected off course but it's gone straight into the path of Koroma! He nails home a finish from the six-yard box and Bradford look very much in control. 4-1.

It's all over! Bradford win 4-1.

Great win, very chuffed.

We now sit in 13th position.

And then I beat Newcastle 4-0. Beat Southend 3-1 in the League Cup, then followed that game with an enthralling 3-3 draw with Cardiff.

Sitting in 13th still, went as high as 9th after the Newcastle match.

Doing the Under 20's World Cup now with Australia, we drew 0-0 with Egypt but they drew with Bahrain as well so a win over the highly-fancied Italy means that we can afford to draw with Bahrain.

Sitting in 10th. Chris James has been out for ages with the New Zealand squad for no apparent reason and has just been told he's not getting picked for the Oceania Nations Cup squad. Awkies...

Come at the right time, I need a few wins to consolidate my survival.

Why do people have it but no one talks about it?

Finished in 12th last season. Yay.

Took over Nigeria manager. Yay.

Signed a leading PL Brazilian regen striker who's 16 atm, then got a 17yo leading PL Hungarian regen from Sunderland, then got a regen in my U18's who's going to be either a good or leading PL defensive midfielder. Yay.

Drew 1-1 with Citeh. Yay.

Freaking awesome.

FM10 doing well with Australia at the moment put drew tough draw for 2010 World Cup. France, Italy and USA. Replaced my last Australia game were I got upto 2014 world cup were Kofi Danning got in Dream Team for World Cup, beat England 3-2 in a friendly.

I need this game so much, and I might be getting it within a week or a bit longer.

Having to watch games with Nigerian international players bores the **** out of me.

Hehehehe....

After 4 games of the PL I'm 1st with 10 points. I beat Zimbabwe in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers 2-0 and then beat Australia 3-2 in a thriller.

:O Should've beat Zimbabwe by more.

Haven't started the season just yet. And I can only play the game on a Weekend. Managing Liverpool.

Just got the game. Any tips, players to buy, etc.?

FM11?

Yes, the editor is your friend

I can give you tips on players, just depends what team you're playing as.

Well Gerrad seems to be doing well. Buy him and Raul Meireles. You should be doing well with them.

I'm Arsenal and I have the worst transfer budget... $28M.

Eden Hazard, Javier Pastore and Romelu Lukaku.

I have a better budget then that (no offence).
But then again 75M is not good.
