    Amusing player name.

    I have a player named "Diego Morón" and my staff think he "has a fairly low intelligence on the pitch"

    Stupidest board ever - can you top this?

    Well, yeah, I paid a lot more than he was worth - but that's what it took to get one of the best players in the world away from a wealthy club. Given that he's only 22 and looks like a future captain I was more than happy to spend the cash I had nothing else to do with. Fortunately I've been...

    Stupidest board ever - can you top this?

    Realistic for a board to sell a player for a 32 million LOSS?

    Stupidest board ever - can you top this?

    So in my game at the moment it's the year 2043 and Forest Green Rovers have won the EPL something like six times in a row now. Last year a new board took over and gave me a 120 million transfer budget. Obviously my team was very strong already, but AC Milan had a 22 year old central midfielder...

    Are you ALWAYS fired for not meeting minimum expectations?

    Thanks guys. I hope you're right. I'm clear on top of the ladder after about 10 games right now, so looks like I might win the thing anyway, I just know that they are going to expect it every year now, which could be a problem.

    Do youngsters stats go up when you send them out on loan?

    I haven't had much luck sending youngsters out on loan. I sent a 17 year old out to Inter and his "potential" ability actually went DOWN during his stay there. That's pretty much how it goes across the board for me. The only way they go up when out on loan is the natural stat increases that come...

    Are you ALWAYS fired for not meeting minimum expectations?

    Hey all - I just finished the 2038 season in which my Forest Green Rovers won the league and the Champion's league in the same season. Unfortunately now my board (after years of just expecting me to challenge - during which I won the league every year or three) have decided that their minimum...

    What's the appeal of starting with a powerful team?

    I've read a number of threads on these forums discussing which team people should choose and usually there follows a list of many of the biggest and richest clubs in the world. I was wondering who else is like me and sort of feels like their game is over once they guide a team to a safe...

    11.3 Feedback/Bug Reporting Thread

    I think there's an issue where the game can treat a player who you have recently resigned as a player/coach as an entirely new player to the team. One of my centre-backs has been playing for me for 10 seasons and late last season I changed his contract to player/coach and suddenly he's "having...

    Have any superstitions or OCD while playing FM?

    I can't stand it when I have to pause and make a substitution because of that "magic goal" the opposition always seems to get that you never saw happen.

    Existing contract youngster fails work permit - can I get him back off "loan"

    I just hope I get him back before his contract expires. I don't actually remember sending him out.

    Existing contract youngster fails work permit - can I get him back off "loan"

    Existing contract youngster fails work permit - can I get him back off "loan" So I have this 18 year old Brazilian and he failed his work permit and is now out on loan to some Brazilian team. The thing is, I'd just linked up with a European side that supposedly allows my player to go off and...

    Advice on staying up after rapidfire promotions - getting flogged every game.

    Thanks for the help so far. Since I posted I had already switched to "counter" with some success. I'm about 10 games in and I am sitting 19th, about 5 points clear of the zone, but it's still pretty ugly. I have about 500,000 to play with in my transfer budget - down from about 1.4 million at...

    Advice on staying up after rapidfire promotions - getting flogged every game.

    Hi all, I've just returned to Football Manager after skipping a few new versions of the game. There's sure been some nice changes/additions, although I want to strangle the "agents" and some of their ridiculous demands for their clients! Anyway, in the game I'm currently playing I'm in my...
