Wow, thought I'd done well in getting Wrexham into the prem in 11 seasons or whatever it was, slightly more realistic tho! How do you go about wages etc? Surely with tiny stadium you can't generate revenue to pay Rooney-style wages? Also just tried your tactics, beat West Ham 3-1 away, but lack...

think i'm in my 22nd season as wrexham manager now. Fergie's got nowt on me!!!

what a difference a few seasons make! Got promoted back into Prem 2nd time of asking, am now in 4th straight season in the prem. Last season finished 5th, and won the FA Cup. Not bad for a team starting out in the BSP! Am now halfway thru 2029-30 season, currently 9th in Prem, in semis of league...

What a surprise!!! Finished bottom of prem (only 5 wins) and am now back in Championship. Board expect auto promotion (which is asking a bit much!) but am languishing in mid-table and its Dec already. Job goes from Stable to Insecure depending if I win, but have no harmony in my players. This...

UPDATE!!! Un-frigging-believable - have managed to get Wrexham into the Prem after 13 seasons!!! Came 2nd in Championship and can't believe I've been promoted!!! :D BUT!!! Board refuse to expand stadium (currently 17500), only got 26K to spare on wages, although have £10m transfer funds. Board...

Yeah cheers, now excuse me while i waste more of my life playong with my 'ants' (as the missus calls 'em!!)

Well, 6 months or so later, still at it - reckon I can now beat my mum at this!! Finally got promoted out of the BSP after 5 seasons (and a conference cup), promoted from L2 in 3 seasons, then won L1 in 2!!! Currently 10th in my 2nd season in Championship, even tho I'm favourite for relegation...

OK, so I finally got Wrexham into the league after 4 seasons, now half way thru ist season in L2, am a fairly respectable 18th and in 3rd round of FA after 2 giant killings. However, my squad aren't happy! I have quite a few players who are good enough for the first team so I use a squad...

Right, I've been a bit naughty and reloaded my game, tweaked things round a bit and find myself with a last 8 game record of WWWWWWDX - now up to 8th! Job now stable!! As someone once said, its a funny old game

Cheers man - wierd thing is, I use my own amended version of Zebedee's tactics so do this anyway. But sometimes I've got decent results using an attacking tactic while away and playing a better club - ironically if I go defensive I ALWAYS let at least 3 in, even if I'm holding onto a lead from a...

Oh I stand corrected - think I had FM04, got very bored of that as I lost all 12 of my first games, 3-0 or more. Also being an old LMA fan couldn't get to grips with the fact you couldn't really tell how well your players were playing. ---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post...

Yeah it is - wanted to play as the team I support. Now in 4th season - last season finished 6th, would've made playoffs if other results had gone my way. New season, managed to sign players I had previously on loan and scored all the time, now they're poo!! I'm 18th, but always get beat by the...

Well didn't get sacked - but job in jeopardy in 2nd season - only 14th after 16 games. Doin ok at home, but get battered away. Only time i play decent is when i go 3-4-3, using attacking tactics. Always concede 3-4 goals. Got some decent players, but they never seem to want to shoot, they just...

Can't help you mate, sorry! 15m?? That's a fair whack!! Got 3 games to go in my 1st season back, and I'm only 11th - had a good run of 11 unbeaten, now can't do anything - My keeper kept 4 clean sheets on the trot and now he's gone bobbins, lettin in 2 or 3 a game. Not changed much, think I...

I'm just far too lazy really, I know its not very realistic but then again I'm not actually a football manager in real life that watches loads of video. Then again, can't imagine Rooney saying 'hey, my pace is 17, gimme the ball 'or whatever!
