The new chairman wanted a 'change of direction'. I don't know whether it's a glitch, but it just doesn't make any sense!
That sucks.
I think the reason for playing FM is that it is a "game" so firing someone who has won things makes that stupid.
i think the producers of this game have some answering to do!

TBF it's a football management simulation, just ask 'Big Sam' if a new chairman ever comes in and decides to sack a manager that's doing a very good job. Realistic IMO

That's the risk you take when you click on the "Shag the secretary" option...

:lol:

At least he's got them in first... But he's dropped some of the decent young players I brought in/through the academy! :evil:

After (very) brief stints at Rushden and Diamonds and Barnsley I was offered MAN CITY. Which I jumped at obviously, given they have a transfer budget of £86 million... It's December as well, so think I might make some serious changes to the squad...

Check his transfer history meeta.
I think he pushes in to the top players in the game after time (I use fmscout but if you want to keep the mystery of the game then dont use it) The only thing that lets him down is his consistency and "big matches" hidden attribute though its not that low.

I started a new save a while back and i forgot about him for about 5 seasons or so and had to fork out close to 80 mill to get him. pissed me right of that. I used FM scout alot on fm 11 and a bit at the beginning of fm 12 but now i just stopped doing it. It becomes way to easy when every single youngster i buy ends up being Messi.

Haha Yeah, I liked using it to just get consistency and big game players down is all.
I never had enough money at leeds to buy any jewels - I had to train em up.
How hard is it to get 5 start training?

In 2010 I always used to sign Ebi Smolarek on a free. Paired him up with Beckford and they scored for fun, they were always the 2 top scorers in the league with 30-40 goals each. Don't know how good he is in 12.

I own FM09, but I have never played it for long periods of time.

I originally started playing without a job and was handed the Burscough job. Promoted first season, promoted second season. Then Uni started and I haven't played since haha.

I mainly poached the Leeds reserve team on loans and they obviously dominated. Cheap tactics, but it worked.

I have never actually played as the manager of Leeds yet.

You must have cheated to get players of that quality within 4 years, either that or you were lucky and got taken over by a billionaire who just throws money at you.

Had to tweak a bit to get Ronaldo ill admit that :wink: , and i use genie scout to find me talents which i then sell for quite a bit of money, and to get the other players fast you have to get instant success in PL to boost the clubs reputation.

And the year should of been 2016 and not 2015...my bad
