Redrup closing the "Where is everyone from" Thread

Was enjoying it...
 
I'm having a terrible time at Torino at the moment, losing half my games and the players just seem to detest me because I'm a new manager and this is my first club. Gone as far as letting my assistant take over team talks since anything I seem to say is wrong. I also tried to get a central midfield in before the deadline and I was so desperate to get one I didn't do proper scouting and I ended up paying 500k for a ****** dud. God, i miss the days when the football was actually a decapitated head of your enemies.
 
well after 2 promotions in a row with southport and making them into a club with a future i didn't get a contract offer so i resigned
even tho i asked the board for a new contract and my status was untouchable
 
After a few seasons in charge of Elgin City, I got promoted to the SPL. Guidelines for that division is that each ground must have at least 6000 seats, no fans are allowed to stand in terracing and that you need undersoil heating. My ground had fewer than 500 seats and no heating, so my board spent £2.4m to bring that up to scratch (I had £400k in the bank, so it put me considerably in the red). Rather than groundsharing with ICT or Aberdeen whose grounds met the regulations, I went to Highland League Forres who have 500 seats and no undersoil heating. I have no idea why that's allowed, but it means I can only have crowds of 500 (despite selling more than 1000 season tickets -- poor fans!) which stops me getting much income to pay off my debts.

Come March, my stadium is ready and I'm mostly getting crowds of about 3000. I finish the season in 4th and with prize money (and a huge loan to pay off the debts) I convince my board to upgrade the training and youth facilities.

Then in the off season they tell me that we need to build more seats -- despite knowing we needed 6000, and playing at my stadium for a couple of months, it turns out that they only bought around 4000 last year! To fund this work, they've cancelled the other upgrades and my stadium is a construction site again, and I'm back at Mosset Park with its 500 seats!
 
Players who play for there hometown club and end up being homesick. Knobs.

West Brom....they seem to be ridiculously good at home & whenever I play them (unrealisitic).

No matter who I manage; Tottenham, Newcastle, even AC Milan in Europe it's James 'ruddy' Morrison with his 1st goal of the season in Feb or Marc Antoine Fortune playing like Leo Messi - wtf? :(

Totally unrealistic & has made me rage quit a few times

What does the game of FM have to do with where you're from?

Power? I wish being a Moderator on an Football Manager fan site gave me power, that'd be nice.

For anyone who though i exagurated about Hennessay, here is a treat for you:

Playing vs Liverpool, who is top of the league, They shoot 2 shots and they score 2 goals. Last goal is just silly from Downing.

Note the time of it too 90+1...fml
 
My team promoted to La Liga with only a 2,400 seat stadium, so I won't be able capitalize on the promotion through ticket sales. Can't expand the arena either because the board says I lack the necessary funds. What a waste.

Was also hoping to stay up once I made the show, but the rosters I'm facing are insanely more talented than the ones I came across in LIGA adelante. I'm really surprised at the gap in talent levels and most of the free agents I come across desperately want to upset my salary structure and run me back into the red. Throwing big money at players seems unadvisable at the moment considering the limited revenue I'll be receiving on match days. Looks like it's gonna be a long season.

I Agree.
 
I'm playing Napoli, just won Serie A, the italian Cup and the Champions League in 2014/2015 season.
Just tried to sign Mascherano on a free transfer 2015 pre-season.
Agreed to his demands of 90k a week but he turned me down to sign for River Plate.
I looked at how much wage he agreed to off them and it was 15k a week.
Why?

Is your real name Buzz Killington?
 
Started a game as Southampton, led them to the Champions League semi-final in 2017, then resigned. They replace me with Steve McClaren, and three years later, they're 16th in the league, and when I declare interest, they laugh off my interest in managing them again. Ungrateful c*nts. To make matters worse, Liverpool were in the relegation zone and sacked Remi Garde, I applied for the job, but they go with FRICKING Steve McClaren. Have to settle for Stuttgart, a club that just narrowly avoided relegation in my last season
