Looking at my squad, only Nacer Barazite, Jakob Poulsen and Jonathan Mensah speak both languages, plus a couple of others with a basic knowlege of english, added to the fact that I'm English maybe this goes some way to explaining it. As i said it doesn't seem to be having a detrimental effect on...
The French league has been comical in this save!
12/13 winners were Bastia who finished 16th in 13/14 and then got relegated in 14/15!
13/14 winners were Lorient who then finshed bottom the next season.
14/15 winners were Sochaux who finished 12th the next season.
I've won the league in...
I signed Jack Butland for Monaco two seasons ago and he still doesn't have even a basic knowlege of French which i thought was odd, however, all the players i've signed since have been French speaking so i have nobody to compare it to. Digging a little deeper i looked at PSG and in the same...
PSG are on their fourth in three and a half, some guy called Elie Baup and to be fair he's done ok, they moved above me into 2nd in early december, although, since they have won one in seven and are eighth now!
In my Monaco game I've noticed PSG are underachieving massively, In my first season they finished second in ligue 1 after outlaying 100m, which i thought was a shock. However, second season the came seventh, just a point above my Monaco side after spending another 48.5m to my fairly lavish...
I've not had a situation where a player has chosen another team over me, although I'm not in the market for real top class players just yet, and i dont tend to negotiate wages down as the chairman just ploughs more money in when the bank is getting low.
My first save on FM2013 is as Monaco and as it is technically not a part of France my players are taxed considerably less than the rest of the league. For example my top earner is on 58k per week before tax and takes home 51K, but Lucas Moura at PSG is on 89K before tax but also takes home 51...
WOW!!! These are the most amazing stats I've ever seen!
I've signed him a couple of times although he has never really reached his potential, perhaps i should have played him more :/
December 2009 review
The month started at Bath City in a top of the table encounter in which Woking raced ahead with goals from Moses Ademola, and two from in-form striker Giuseppe Sole which saw the Cards win 3-1 to put ther clear at the top of the table. A trip to Bishops Stortford was next...
