Just trying to liven up the forum a bit. Talk here about the good moments of your CM career and the moments were you thought to yourself "damn, i screwed up". My best moments are winning the double with Millwall (EPL and UEFA Cup), treble with HSV (Bundesliga, German Cup and UEFA Cup), and winning the WC with Brazil (2 times, one beating Germany in the final, and the other one beating France). And the unbeaten run with Brazil (2 entire seasons without losing a game, including WC qualifiers, friendlies, Gold Cup, Confed. Cup and WC).

The ugly stuff, well, getting to the CL final to just to get my ass kicked (when i was Milan, 6 finals, 2 titles, with Man Utd, 1 final, and a defeat). The last one the game was nil-nil and i decided to change tactics (i was using 4-2-2-2, changed to a 4-1-3-2) and we conceded 7 minutes from FT in ET. I decided to attack more because i didnt want to decide it on penalties, i have some tough luck in it. And being sacked as the manager of Brazil for losing the stupid Confed. Cup.

Oh, i forgot mentioning i never lost a Serie A title with Milan (7 seasons or so). Some few bad moments i forgot to say is losing the EPL in the last day with Leeds (that's back in 01/02 though). Arsenal were 2nd and the last game of the season was between us (Leeds and Arse), i was winning 3-1 but then Jeffers came on as a sub and equalised the game, they had a better record against me and they won the league.

Both teams finished on 90 points and i had a miles better goal difference. Also, being on the top with Liverpool then losing 4 games in a row near the end of the season, and then losing the title on the last day (i had to win and i won, Man Utd had to draw/lose and they won) was a pain in the ass too.

My highlight is taking Fulham from division 1 in 2008 into the premiership, without any of the quality players.
My low point was season 2009 where we were 18th and i lost all the players i had been working with who had performed well cos they wanted to stay in the premiership:(

Winning the CL with Strasbourg in 2008 was definitely my best (Y)(Y), losing 8-2 to Rennes has to be the worst defeat on CM ever for me. :$ :o

My Newcastle game on CM4 was nice, after a couple seasons it was one of those games where you very simply could not be beaten anymore. With many young prospects in addition to this. And then it crashed.

My Rennes game, still on CM4, was interesting, with a runner up place, followed by the title and a quarter finals in UEFA.

on CM0304, i have only one game running, with Sampdoria. It's not very satisfactory because as it is my first and only game i tried out all the cheat players to make things easier. I line up Toledo, De la Cuesta, Todorov, Kakalov, Cerci, Braathen etc. Not cool, i know. Furthermore, although my team is explosive and wins, they keep taking in dumb goals whatever happens.

I would consider all of my CM games to have been successful, except Strasburg. I played half a season and simply could not get them to win.

My best achievement is a fantastic file i had for 03/04 but had to stop playing it as the computer i was playin it on blew up (lol).

I started off as aston villa and steadily we got better till we won the European Cup 3 times in a row. I then went to liverpool, but I only stayed for six months as is wasnt working out so I dropped a divsion to go to Sheffield United.

I got them promoted no problem as they were in a strong position when I took over. Then we won the premiership the next season.

I didnt get to have a crack at Europe.......
