Good point actually! For some reason I was thinking he was a coach for me. I've never had that message before, it was odd to me!

I got to 2029 on FM2005 with Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, and a few other teams. But it didn't feel very satisfying since I started at Liverpool. But that's the furthest I've ever got. I might reinstall it again and look at some of the players who are managers now - some big names if I...

I was thinking about starting a new game, but having thought about it, for the time being I'm happy here with Arsenal when I'm doing well, no matter how many bugs are in the game (I think there's a bug where I can't actually sign for another club now...) I might start one this summer...

Was Aliadiere on loan to Wolves? Here's one I just got today - a bit too young to think about retirement, I think...

D'oh! What a silly mistake!

I'm in 2015 but my contract ran out in 2013. Despite this Stuart Pearce-like inclination, the legality of which isn't really in question - me and the chairman could technically be put in jail for it probably -, it is also INCREDIBLY annoying! I don't want to leave, but I could have sworn there...

No I don't, but now I have.

I think my coach is setting his standards a *little* too high. I also include the little bug affecting my contract. Madness.

You would if you're 3-0 in the CL final at half time then lose on penalties...it's hard to say "Oh well there's always next year". I know, I know....that's a long shot of happening....oh no...wait, it did happen last year. Come on Liverpool! *cough* The good thing about my Arsenal game is that...

This is one aspect of FM which could do with a serious do-over. Here are my stats as of 2015, after spending 580 days at Liverpool, 825 at Man City and 2201 (and growing) days at Arsenal: Handling Pressure: 18 Ambition: 3 (whatever) Loyalty: 15 (well I have just declared my interest in the...

I've had this bug, so I sympathise with you if you really want to manage internationally. I've applied for Portgual about six years ago - still with no manager - and Brazil four years ago, then just last year they finally gave Mr Vanderley from Seinfield (aka Vanderley Luxembergo) the job...

Lucas is a superstar, he just came third in Player of the Year, behind my 24-goals-a-season striker, James Keene (currently at Pompy), who came first. He's a AM but I play him more as a holding midfielder, more of a DM really though the only players who do any defending in my team are my back...

Rooney alone is better value than Chelsea. Instead of going along with the crowd and watching the Arsenal -v- Juve game on Tuesday, I turned onto ITV4 and watched Benfica -v- Barca. What a game! Ronaldinho and Deco: amazing players, simply fantastic. I think I'm seriously falling in love with...

I got turned down by Sneijder too, as Arsenal manager, despite having won the Prem 3 times in a row and the CL twice in a row. First he wanted more than £130K a week (!!) then after I sold a few players to get some money (I was going to do this even if he accepted at first), he refused because...

Yep, that's what ah meant. A question about the 6.0.3 patch, rather than start a new thread: will my game still load up fine with the new patch installed? This game in question I started in version 6.0.2 so I want to be sure it'll still load.
