in fm 11 I was able to achieve two consecutive promotions from serie c1 to serie a with my lecco side winning the playoff just because the engine wanted me to!! I'm not on drugs guys, I clearly remember beating verona in the playoff semi-final just because hallfredsson decided to score a random...
i'm in EXACTLY the same situation as the OP right now. Those "death spiral" talks are definetly not paranoia, I believe the same. I'm just curious to know if you kept on with your Bristol City save or you just lost hope and started a new one!?
Leicester City in the championship would be a nice choice. They have a mid-table team but plenty of money to spend and very good stadium attendence. Southampton is probably in a similar situation, although I've never played with them... BTW avoid italian teams if you want lots of cash! ;)..
Ok guys I really appreciate your suggestions, TBH this is the second thread in which you help me so I'm pleased. BTW I need your help one more time, as I just discovered a rare and interesting thing: the new brazilian regen that I bought is the highest player in the whole game, being 2.06 metres...
I suggest you some balcanic club like maribor, hajduk, dinamo or partizan...you'd be surprised by how amazing their youth players can be and by how wealthy some of these clubs are ( compared to the rest of the league, of course.. )

Ok golem your suggestions were particularly precious, I was able to beat Porto away just by dragging my 2 midfielders in the DM position and using your team talk suggestions. I saw how this move has improved my performances against stronger teams.
Any suggestion on how I can get my lone striker...
Ok I tried both your suggestions, yet I failed again. They were both useful suggestions as my team played slightly better, but I still lost. The annoying thing is that the one of these few 4-4-2 teams is my arch-rival Mar?timo, that beats me everytime...maybe I keep making mistakes in the team...
TBH were your tactics made in an older version of FM? I downloaded them but for some reason they don't show you player roles and stuff, noobish question I know, but I take advantage now that I'm sure I got your attention :D
ps. I also tried for something like 10 matches Raikan's tactic for...
And to be honest I'm not sure what was actually the problem with the 4-4-2 ( whereas about the 4-2-4 you are probably right ) since sometimes I got hints from the assistant saying like "we're dominating, good passing and stuff, we just miss goal etc etc." but still I was'nt able to score but...
