The Career thread

[run4783]

I think that the league may have become all professional as there are no teams that semi-pro anymore. I'm not going to complain though, since I am dominating the league, just got Mexes on a free transfer. Basically, my focus is Europe since the league and the Cup seem to be automatic. I'm in 2004 and we are now professional so maybe you are right about it changing in a couple of years.

*You can add Batistuta and Hierro on free transfers as Player/Coaches

 

[Shindig]

Haha. In 2007, Luke Chadwick was called a creative flop. Trying to get Ugo Ehiogu on a free transfer. He's getting on in years but we need someone to show Luke Young the ropes.

Final Lincoln City Results: As you all know I've decided to throw the towel in on my Lincoln City game at the beginning of the 2017/18 season. My final manager stats look like this:

EPL- 5 Titles, 1 Second, 2 Third Place finishes
1st Division- 2nd
2nd Division- Champions
3rd Division- Champions

I only spent 3 years to get to the EPL.

Cups:
League Cup: 6 Time Holders, Once runner ups
FA Cup: 4 Time Holders, Once Runner Up
Charity Shield: 2 Time Winners, 4 Times Runner Up
Champions League: 1 Time Holder, 1 Time Runner Up
UEFA Cup: 1 Time Holder
Intercontinental Cup: 1 Time Holder
Super Cup: 1 Time Holder, 1 time runnerup
World Championship: Runner Up

Personal Stats:
7 League Titles
16 Cups
44 Manager Awards (6 Time EPL Manager of the Year)

Played 960
W 565
D 184
L 211

GF 1786
GA 1060

Players Bought: 141 for 439 Million Dollars American
Players Sold: 103 for 714 Million Dollars American (Includes Georcelin for 150 million dollars)

I was getting tired of the game, not because it wasn't challenging, but rather because it took forever to play. It isn't the longest I've played but close. The Union Berlin challenge I played for a couple of more years I believe. I'm onto Sweden with my IFK Goteborg game now. England will not be a stop for me for a long time.

I sold Figo, Ronaldo and Morientes to Dortmunt and I lost the final of the CL against Dortmunt in 2007.

I clearly remember that:

Real Madrid 0-3 Dortmunt
(0-1) Ronaldo
(0-2) Figo
(0-3) Morientes

I didn't really like that

 

[run4783]

Talk about players getting some means of revenge against a former team. That has never happened to me, but I usually don't sell my top players to the same team, especially if they of that calibar.

 

[Shindig]

Andy Cole retired....

So I replaced him with Cherno Samba

Swansea up!

Congrats and one heck of goal haul for Samba, even if it is division 1.

 

[Tom]

good old Cherno, i still reckon hes better on this CM than the new ones

TROD.

 

[Shindig]

He's starting to get England caps, at long last. Beat Man Utd for our first Premiership points.

Oh, and as I speak, Sam Parkin's netted a hat-trick in the UEFA Cup. Nice back-up for Samba. Make that four.

 

[rony31]

well guys, my illustrious CM 01/02 career has come to an end since my computer had to be reformatted, I lost both my Stuttgart and Barnsley games, as well as CM itself

 

[Shindig]

Well, in your hour of need hopefully this can bring some comfort to you.....

Unlucky mate, that is one post i wouldnt edit (even if i could)

A sad day for our community. Very sad. Poor Rony. Poor Stuttgart and Barnsley.

One word of advice.

Partitians.

[The Kop Kid]

I can't believe that you let minnows like Arsenal take the Premiership over the mighty swansea. Sh*t, You'll be losing to Roma next!

 

[Shindig]

It's not fair. They've won 8 straight titles. I'm going to see what financial state we're in before I start snapping up free transfers again. Viana went to Newcastle for £1.3m. A few people are retiring at the end of the season so that'll help.

 

[The Kop Kid]

There's plenty of cheap players out there, as you know. What kind of positions are you looking to fill?
