As usual of me I've been playing in the South Seas (havent posted on here in a bout a year, and didn't do my yearly Cook Islands Story, but ****) I've spent about 6-7 seasons trying to recreate/tweak tactics that I have been using in European top divisions and none of them seem to translate at...

This ***** is by far my best player, playing in Evo-Stik Northern N1D. Scoring goals all season, on more money than everyone else... So far so good, the little ***** wont score goals anymore because he wants a new contract, fair enough... What does he want £2k a week! my budget is only a...

I'm nearing the end of my 7th season in my current save, I've scraped enough money together to buy my current stadium and am now expanding it. During the expansion I'm playing in the countries national stadium. After a few bevies last night I went to boardroom screen and was looking at what I...

After reading the Haye v Klischko thread I started to wonder who was my favourite boxer. So then was interested in what everyone else thought. I have a couple of favourites that span 200 years of boxing, one I've only read about, one I've watched old footage of and the other I've seen live...

How long does it generally take for Coaches attributes to improve, It used to have something to do with the work load, but lets say they are all light, any ideas? I presume there is also a difference depending on contract type too, 4 years on Amt contracts and nothing is happening for me, I've...

I have gathered the data of all World Cups together after the ruling went against us the other day in England's World Cup bid to see if I could make sense of the decision. It makes some sense to me when I've correlated the data however I do not agree with a team never having qualified in their...

NOT SO LONG AGO IN A COUNTRY FAR FAR AWAY... Or the story so far... 2010-11 Nikao Sokattack were in raptures to give me, Daft C**nt the managerial post at Nikao Field, Rarotonga. After a short but illustrious career of 11 games in the centre of the park for Cook Island injury forced me to hang...

For a many FM's now I've tried to get the Cook Islands into the World Cup its been long and arduous and never successful, I have however managed to win a couple of Oceania Nations Cups along the way though. With D-Rep now I have a chance so starting with a Cook Islands Cup team (Nikao...

When opening new nation rule in Oceania ie Cooks Islands, Fiji and the sort when you manage in the league at around the 3/4 stage your board confidence in Competitions entered drops to 0% regardless of results. It does not drop however in the Competitions tab itself. It happens season after...

In my current game I did really well in my last season winning the league and a cup. Now it seems im a victim of my own success... the board wish me to finish in the top half of a higher league and to get to the later stages of four cups. Although I have a team capable of it, the fixture list...

As a long term fan of the Cm/Fm games (I've played since the original on the Amiga) I've never been a top flight manager since Cm 01/02 (sad I know) However much it has been done before, i wish to give my spin on being a good LLM (as many would agree with me its a little of a lifestyle choice)...

and the FA have chosen... ... Adrian Boothroyd !?!?! what? its my 3rd season and he hasnt managed anyone for 2 years!

Ive found a maltese DB that im using the info from to create a maltese league on FM09, im currently playing it to see if there are any huge flaws or errors that appear in the general running of the game, and i cant find any. the only problem i can see with it is that Valletta have 25 million in...

3 old Football fans go to a spiritualist to find out the future of their respective clubs. When God has been contacted, the first one asks, "When will Newcastle win the FA Cup?" "Within 10 years," replies God. "Oh *******, I'll probably be dead by then." So the second old man asks God, "When...
