Well. In first place with Sheffield United 5 points clear of 3rd and scoring a fair few. However slightly weirdly the 3 games I've lost have been thumping defeats. 5-1, 5-0 and 4-1.
 
Season 5 with Liverpool. First 3 seasons i played 4231, i now play 442 with two attacking wingers so i can play with 2 up front with Torres, Dzeko and Tevez on rotation. Play Sanchez, Adam Johnson, Ballotelli on right wing, Hazard, Muniain and Henrique on left (retrained Henrique) Centre mids are Hamsik, Ramsey, Mou Sissoko and Gerrard. Right backs are Johnson, Aurier and a regen wonderkid! Centre backs are Agger, Sakho, Jones, Wilson, Galeano out on load. Left backs are Kolarov and Coentrao and in goal i have Reina and Smithies.
I have won the Champs League 4th season, Prem 3rd and 4th season, FA Cup 2nd and 3rd season, League Cup 3rd season, Super Cup 4th season and the Community shield 3rd and 4th season. So far so good!!
 
Panathonaikos

Probably the first game ive been excited about in ages played 6 won 6 in the league

GK Dida (free)

DR Seitaridis
DC Boumsong
DC Fazio (500k)
DL Grimi (125k)

CM Gilberto Silva
CM Katsouranis

RW Govou
AMC Ninis
AML Leto

ST Cisse

also got Kleber(flamengo) aranged on a free to bolster my defense at LB and Ezequiel Gonzalez on a free as back up to Ninis.

Big offers for Ninis already but with a new 5yr contract agreed and a release contract of £20m a nice little profit may be on the cards.I think it may be a smart move to sell him in the summer, raise that £20m and sign in more young talent at smaller price tags and try and make the club quite wealthy. got my eyes on Douglas Costa, Kadlec, Ganso, Sidnei, Jaro and a couple more. Areola of PSG seems to be angling for a move to me and with Dida(36) would love him.

Drawn with Barca, Marseille and Cluj in the CL europa league is almost a certainty with 2 games played 0-0 to Marseille and 3-0 over cluj, an attack at 2nd isn't impossible.

Thought id treat the fans to a superstar.....of the late 90s early 00s that is Denilson (free) lol fair as to say he's injured but in all honesty you dont expect him to be fit lol. but at £1200 a week i just had to.
 
Managing Sheffield United forth season in,

managed to get adam johnson, asenjo, lukaku, munatri and granero for free over the past two season...doing well in the premier league, finished 7th in the league after getting promoted from the championship, then finished 6th in the second season! managed to get past the group stages in the euro cup but didn't get far after that!

currently 2nd in league after 7 games (6 wins and 1 draw) lukaku has got 12 goals in 7 appearances so far.

Hi there. Started game with a created local team (Newbiggin), and started in the Northern English Premier League Premier Division, every single player computer generated, basic training and youth facilities, and £0 transfer budget, all players/staff part time,and took 5 year F/T contract of £1 (to free up club money)

1st season won the above division, won manager of the month twice (not bad).

2nd season, won the Blue Square Bet North on last game of season, 0 manager awards. But more importantly, stuck with the same players who developed extremely well, and didn't buy any new player, too concentrate on youth.

3rd season, runners up in Blue Square Premier after winning playoff against AFC Wimbledon 1-0, won manager of the year award (yay lol), have money rolling in, reached 2nd round of F.A Cup, and won F.A trophy (just).

Now about to start the season in Npower League 2, but having problems negotiating contracts, having problems with state of pitch, and more importantly, players wanting to go to bigger clubs. Ah, the joys of being a manager. But loving it :)
 
End of 4th season with Peterbourgh United.

Competitions

6th in Prem - pretty close to champions league football 4 points between 8th and 4th.
Europa League group stages - Palermo and Celtic qualified
League cup 4th round - Knocked out by Blackburn
FA cup 3rd round - lost to liverpool
 
I am currently playing with my local and favourite side Oxford United. I have had successive promotion from league 2, to league 1, and then into the championship. Then in my second season in the championship i managed to get promoted to the premier league even though i was tipped to get relegated. I don't know wether i have got lucky or not but i have found managing oxford very easy so far. Especially considering i was only tipped for mid table at best when starting in league two.
 
In relation to my last post, looks like I'm going to have long, hard slog of a season. 8 games in, rooted to bottom of division with 1 draw and 7 losses, but got a good cup run in League Cup and JPT. Fans are pretty dam fickle aswell lol. Looks like it's back to the drawing board
 
Decided to manage a big club as my first proper FM11 save.

Real Madrid . 2010/11

In
Romulu Lukaku- £5M
MatsHummels - £11M
Dennis Appiah - £3.2M

Out
None( looking to offload Gago and M.Diarra)

Generally happy will my team
