Hi, after going through the Older Cm forum I discovered a brilliand idea founded by Nimeretz. In Cm03/04 he took Real Madrid to the 2nd division, distroying the club's profile. I am about to do the same but in FM07 and my target is one of the world's most despised team, a team that used dubious money to become one of the greatest clubs in just a few years... Chelsea. Nimeretz used great story, I'll try to provide a good one but I'll be looking to experiment more and post more pictures.

I begin my journey. :mrpimp:

I have 134 million in transfer funds and a balance of 264 mil.

My current squad is full of dip sh!ts, I don't like any of them. I'll be looking to dispose of most of them.

If any of the worthless players I have in my youth squad make it through this regime they deserve to move up in the ranks.

My first team squad need to be in top shape to outmuscle the rest of the league, everything else is secondary.

I sent my scouts to all of Africa and Asia to find me the best raw talent.

To celebrate I'm going on a 9 day tour with my squad to play against some fine opposition in Iraq and Zambia.

p.s. note the search field

I signed Terry to a new 300k/ week contract because he is going to be my number one goalkeeper.

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/862/terrylb9.th.jpg (http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=terrylb9.jpg)

Shaun Wright Phillips will forever pay coming to Chelsea and will spend the rest of his time here (June 2011) playing in the reserves.

First signing of 1 million is good old Jimmy Hasselbaink, I had to bring back a club legend to help take the team down.

Next was Freddy "Pele" Adu. I got him for a total of 10 mil, he's going to be quite a star.

I signed the best right back to ever play the game, Cosmin Contra, for a cool 30 million. His romanian experience was much needed.

Brilliant tactic, it would be particularly useful in this case (Y)

brilliant idea! simply brilliant.

you should sign as many old boys as you can.

maldini, rui costa, serginho, etc etc

another idea you could sign your whole starting eleven from one EU nation... like ****ty polish players, or whoever else has funny names :(

lmao. I think I may have a go at this. So far I've got rid of all my staff and brought in some lower league scrubs to replace them.

Brining in Hossam Hassan, Lucas Neill, El-Hadji Diouf, Duncan Ferguson, Robbie Savage, Danny Tiatto and Pierre van Hooijdonk.

Gonna sell Robben, Essien and Makelele and use the cash to fund my Ronaldinho and Beckham deals. ;) (H)

btw: I've just sent my team on a pre-season tour of the axis of evil. lol. Nice trip to Baghdad with a stop off in Pyongyang.

Diouf got sent off on his debut. lmao

Roberto Carlos was traded for Ashley Cole. I think we know who got the better left back from that deal. Beckham was swapped for Ballack and Obi Mikel. I just needed his amazing stats on my team.

The Chairman is very pleased with the world class signings.

I have been made favorite (6-4) to win the Premiership this year. I will try my best.

I had to aquire the services of Inter's Recoba (the greatest player of all time) so I traded Shevchenko for him, he really wanted back in Milan. I also needed to get my new star player Materazzi, they accepted a swap for Drogba. I don't know what Inter's gonna do with 4 of the best strikers in the game.

My first real game was the community shield versus Liverpool. I had this in the bag. The official best player in the world was going to handle everything. I've given him a free role on the whole left side of the pitch where he can dribble past the whole team and score goal after goal.

the overall look:

the strategy:
http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/4057/tacticzat3.th.jpg (http://img352.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tacticzat3.jpg)
I tell them that I expect the trophy of course.

sigh...

http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/4812/gamevm6.th.jpg (http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamevm6.jpg)
I sympathized with the team, we deserved to win.

Results from the friendlies.

http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/7233/doaq1.th.jpg (http://img475.imageshack.us/my.php?image=doaq1.jpg)

I signed Mutu for 40 mil, he was a legend at Chelsea and they are very happy to have him back.

first game of the league is coming up... against Reding

now I tried to create the most boring tactic possible, all the players do not run forward or run with the ball, and take a look at the tactic screen:

http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/2967/tajx3.th.jpg (http://img377.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tajx3.jpg)

I told the players to relax and the result will come. The result will come all right.

We lose 0-2

hahaha, awesome (H) I already did this, made an Uzbek manager and brought in a bunch of random players, and sold everyone except Sheva and SWP (biased, yes). Mondragon was my captain, and after fielding an 0-5-5 formation against Tottenham and losing 14-0, I got sacked :(

After visiting asia i found a gem, Indian Simran Singh. I bought him.

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/3497/singhhf1.th.jpg (http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=singhhf1.jpg)

I got the best striker of all time to come to Chelsea, SG's turkish favorite Hakan Sukur. He is going to rip appart all defenses.

Ok, now the next game (away to Man City) I will try to win just to test my self and see if I can.

http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/9945/cityzd5.th.jpg (http://img380.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cityzd5.jpg)

Adu pulled an exact Nicolita (here is the LINK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGpezqWQNQE) if you haven't seen it ) and he backheeled it to terry which wasn't in the right position. What kind of player is he if he can't even manage the role of a defender.

We lost 4-0, an emberassing result considering I actually fielded a decent tactic.

3 shots on target
http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/4624/city2fa9.th.jpg (http://img360.imageshack.us/my.php?image=city2fa9.jpg)

Transfer season ended, its september 1st. Here is my final squad for the season, and their salaries (actually doing the impossible and going over the Chelsea salary cap). I purchased and traded alot of new players and got rid of basically all of Chelsea's squad except Wright Phillips and Bridge who will be enjoying the reserves.

and the finances

http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/5747/finpn0.th.jpg (http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=finpn0.jpg)

I still have 42 million left in balance, i wonder how long till that's gone.

transfers in
http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/9518/inbc2.th.jpg (http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=inbc2.jpg)

transfers out

http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/9451/outdv2.th.jpg (http://img366.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outdv2.jpg)

Now to talk about my signings.
I got Parlour, a premiership legend on the team. David Felgate, the oldest goalie in the game (46) ironically coming from the team "Bacup". I purchased Cristiano Ronaldo primarily to give sex to the gay members of the squad. Wes Brown because I find him funny. Edgar Davids as the dream defensive midfielder he is. Gattuso, to partner Materazzi in defensive duties. Maldini just so I could see his play for another team other than Milan. Tugay because his name is funny and he is old.

Last and least Jake Hyde, a striker I found while searching for players with "Chelsea" as their favorite clubs. Got this 17 year old for 4k from Swindon, I plan on making his dream come true to play for his favorite club, altough he dosen't deserve to. He is going to be a club icon, my new captain and penalty kick taker.

http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6749/hydezt6.th.jpg (http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hydezt6.jpg)

After the off season moves this is how the media is reacting. Everton clear favorites in the next encounter.

http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/6670/evertub9.th.jpg (http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=evertub9.jpg)

I decided to change my tactic, this is what it's mostly going to look like. there are going to be 5 players running into the oppononts box, Beckham is deep in the field as the play maker kicking long range passes in there. Once the ball reaches the opponont's box all chaos will break loose, the ball will eventually be kicked in the net. Davids is in there purely for defensive reasons, tracking down any opponent that makes it inside our territory. Passing is therefore focused through the middle.

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8317/tacra7.th.jpg (http://img62.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tacra7.jpg)

For corners I have 8 players standing or attacking the far post, with intent for the ball to go there and for free kicks I have 8 players marking the keeper.

Everton win 1-0
Recoba headbutts Tony Hibbert in the 80th minute. I tell him I'm delighted with him at the end of the game.
Still last in the league.

Ok the next game is versus Poland's Legia at home in Champions league, its my only chance of winning a game this year. I will field my best team.

We tied 2-2 but dominated the game, goals coming from 'dinho and Mutu.

I'm going on holiday for a month to see if i can trust the club doing bad while i'm gone i'll be telling my assistant to field the same tactic. Because of this I got my self a top assistant manager and fired the others. Meet Richard Webb:

http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/9637/wedm4.th.jpg (http://img453.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wedm4.jpg)

went on holiday for a while, everything is going great, still last in the league and not fired.

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1782/updru4.th.jpg (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=updru4.jpg)

haha (H)!

Horatio man, well played :D

Mind you, i think you'll have problems soon due to the fact you'll get the sack.

wtf the board is satisfied, maybe it had something to do with me going on holiday ? strange.. nvm the supporters have started a "support" group to pressure the chairman in dismissing me.

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2667/bomq0.th.jpg (http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bomq0.jpg)

the club is also 67 million in red

gallas (H)

haha! (H) gallas kept true to his threat!

So, how far have you gotten?

Haven't played that game much but I'll continue it sometime, my short term plan is taking them to the 2nd then 3rd divisions.

not play this game yet..but i'm wondering how did u buy an indian guy..from wht i know..that guy surely can have the chance to play in english league * workpermit blablablablala

Haven't played that game much but I'll continue it sometime, my short term plan is taking them to the 2nd then 3rd divisions.

will probably get sacked before that.

amazingly not sacked yet... :| i think its a bug due to me being on holiday most of the time

finances

lol @loan

http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/8993/ftp7.jpg

thats 37mil in the red

give us a screen shot of the board room and club confidence section.

while i was on holiday they let me sign a new contract till 2008, no idea how that happened

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5788/untitleden5.jpg

i was finally given the sack after discipling players to get them to agree to mutual terminations because the club owners were threataning to sell players and make money

so i put yoyo junior horatiu, son of yoyo horatiu in charge

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1093/untitledfj2.jpg

played for another month or so and was able to accomplish alot during the offseason

I got all my players on free transfers(including reserves and U18), so i naturally had to pay alot of fees for that, the free transfers my board blocked I was able to piss off and mutually terminate... only Terry, Gattuso and R. Carlos remained (they refused). So I sent Terry and Gattuso on loan with me paying the large majority of the contract and a 0 sell on fee if the club wants them. Roberto Carlos is joining Palmereias in january.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4065/traqf8.jpg

Now all I have is gray players. I'm curios to see what the board wants me to achieve in the championship this season.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4489/sqdd6.jpg

The finances are not looking good (97mil in the red)
