Re: Football Manager 2012 - Official Thread - Demo Out Now!!!!

In my 3rd season as Anji manager in Russia. Finished 4th after taking them over mid table, mid season, then 3rd, now in 2nd place. Flunked out of Europa League in first two seasons in two groups of death. CSKA are the dominant force here.

Bought Adam Johnson, who I play LW and he is creating so many chances. Samuel Eto'o has just scored his 66th Anji goal to become the club's all-time leading scorer. Looking to overthrow CSKA's domination but it will take a couple of more seasons yet!

Surprisingly, you don't get a big budget which makes it more of a challenge and you have to have 6 Russian players on the field at all times in domestic competition.

Suprised you play Johnno ahead of Dzuskzkajahajaj or whatever his name is (hungarian lad).

Start of my 3rd season now hoping Milveskyi can be the solution to Eto'o's partner

I sold the Hungarian lad and Bousaffa to get my wage bill down. I use Johnno and bought Insigne as his back-up, who's a useful winger.

Johnno has 12 assists in 11 league matches in my 3rd season.

Just started my 3rd season with Bristol City after being knocked out in the semis of the playoffs in both of my first years (heartbreaking). Think my squad is much stronger this year though, signed a new Lithuanian keeper whose name I couldn't spell if I tried. Also re-signed Leigh Griffiths on loan who was excellent last year, got Denis Suarez on loan and also bolstered the defence with George Elokobi. Board want playoffs and I really need to get there, was on the verge of the sack at the end of last year, this is my first FM since 2007 so think its taking me some getting used to!

Got a story up about trying to get a Dutch second tier team to win the Europa League with only products from their youth academy. In essence, I can't sign anyone..

Story is here if anyone is interested: <a class="postlink" href="http://footballmanagerstory.com/forum/index.php?topic=824.0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://footballmanagerstory.com/forum/i ... opic=824.0</a>

Some bawbag keeper that i signed as back-up to Iraizoz has now requested a transfer after about a quarter of the season, for not getting first team football. Well why did you sign as a back-up keeper then? Twat.

Won my second title with Juve. When I took them over was on shit money but had 1 of the best number 2s in Baldini. After being comfirmed winning the first title I made sure I was on more money than he is. He is quaility. I would advise any team to try and sign him as your number 2. Great at team talks when you cant be bothered and all my players love him. He only has 2 months left on his contract and I have being trying to to get him to sign a new deal all through this season but so far he doesnt want to talk about a new deal. Matri is top scorer for me this season with 33 goals with 2 games to go. Think I will rest him. Always take him off late in the game too good a player to be without.

1 player that has been great for me is Ciaran Clarke from Villa a great young player who gets better all the time all of the coaches keep saying how good he is and is now a vital member of the team. Playing as a left back at the moment but quaility in the centre back.

managed to keep droylsden in the blue square premier by the skin of my teeth, really thought we was done for! couldn't buy a win for love nor money but then got a stuffy 1-0 win against a mid table side and went on a run of like 8 wins in 12 games, ended up finishing up 4 points clear of the team in the last relegation spot.
