The Reality Check

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:33:00 +0000

A good measure to how your team should be faring (bar Liverpool), if you've not a clue and media prediction tells you little, is to see what's going on in the real world of football yourself. Sure, some teams do worse than what's expected of them, but it's mostly evened out and you can tell how the table should be formed.

But, there's the overachievers that make a name for themselves out of nothing, bursting into an immediate contention for the title and proving that even the most ludicrous of happenings on Football Manager can be emulated on the footballing realm too. And this is how we challenge you to do it

The Reality Check.

You are Ian Holloway, it is your first season in charge of Blackpool after a year out of football, and according to the media you goal will be to avoid relegation.

After being predicted to finish 20th in a league consisting of 24 teams, Blackpool did what no one would have believed beforehand, and finished 6th in the championship, their highest finish since the 1970-71 season. The 6th place earned them a play-off spot, and after beating Nottingham Forest in the semi-final, they landed Cardiff in the final. A 3-2 win saw them promoted to the premier league.

Can you emulate Ian Holloway’s success and lead Blackpool into the premier league.

Objective

To manage Blackpool, and get promoted to the premier league

This is how the league ended

Rules

Patch 10.3

Do not buy or loan a single player during the transfer windows
(you may sell and loan out players as you wish)

Let's Get Started, Shall We? Give the game a Reality Check!

To whoever can name a Brazilian (striker I think) who was at Arsenal in the early 2000's as it's sending me mad as I can't remember his name!

btw, it's not Juan.

Bad game!

Anyone got awful performances to share?

Sulley Muntari gave the penalty away, and was at fault for both of Denilson's goals!

Best Signings of Summer '10

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:27:42 +0000

Now the transfer window is over, who would you say are the best five signings?

In no order, I'd go for:

Cole - Proven top class player, no transfer fee
Van der Vaart - In my opinion a quality player, and a bargain as well
Hernandez - Proved at the World Cup that he can get goals, young player as well
Mascherano - The best defensive midfielder in the world, again not an over the top fee
Özil - An exciting prospect who had a great World Cup, another player bought cheaply

I just came across this and it's pretty cool.

You put the street you live(d) on and hit play and it bases the music video around that.

You need Chrome for it to work properly I think.

Alright lads, probably been asked before, but as we are all big football fans, which of us actually plays football ? And I dont mean amateur football, I'm talking about proper professional youth teams. For instance, I play for Celtic pro youth So...who plays for professional teams here ?

Mario Balotelli

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:11:46 +0000

I have him as an advanced or complete forward most games and his scoring record is fairly good. Just wondering how you guys play him and if you could, post pictures of his development.

A Memorable Career

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:33:40 +0000

Hey guys my name in LW is Barney Stinsson but you can call me Barney.I play this game like 1 year and I thought I would make a story for it and I thought LW is a great place for my story.I am managing Sampdoria a club that I thought has a great senior and youth squad.

.I got 5 new faces in the club and I sold 1 player.

He is a good player but he lacks in determination.It doesnt matter till he is a good player.

He is a player that is born in Himara Albania.I am from Albania.I think he will be great.He has a Greece passport.

I bought him so he could replace Caztellazi.To be honest he is good.

I bought him from AC Milan and he is amazing.He will be my new leader to victory.

Another prospect future.So I finished the plan:Building The Future.Gianmarco zigoni is a striker,Gueye(the senegalese) is a striker,Mario Cassano is a goalkeeper,Sotiris Ninis(greece) is a attacking midfielder right or center, and nicola pozzi(the italian)is a striker too.Sorry for not uploading the names but the other time I will upload them.Now here are the friendlies and my 3rd cup qualification match:

I did very well and I qualified for the 4th round.I will post the 10 matches every time so till then,See ya.

Sorry guys I made a mess.I will sort out the things and next time you will see the formation and the new players.SORRY:|

Man City announce link with Strømsgodset

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:22:04 +0000

Norwegian Premier Division side Strømsgodset have today announced a link between the two sides.

Strømsgodset will operate as City's feeder club meaning City will be able to send players on loan to Norway and Strømsgodset will have first option to buy academy/reserve players City believe aren't good enough for the club. I don't know if this is for players that already are onloan at Strømsgodset or not. If a player that has been on loan at Strømsgodset from City signs for another club, Strømsgodset will get a percentage of the transfer fee. Another part of the deal is that Strømsgodset may send their best players to Manchester City for practices with the club.

And the first player to go on loan to Strømsgodset is 18-year-old Mohammed Abu. Notable former players of Strømsgodset includes Øyvind Leonhardsen (ex Premiership player), Jostein Flo (ex Sheffield United - now sporting director of the club), Erland Johnsen (former Chelsea) and Marcus Pedersen who signed for Vitesse Arnhem yesterday.

Gokhan Tore

I've noticed a few times in press conferences, that the journalists always ask me if I'm interested in buying Gokhan Tore. Question is, is he worth it?

From relegation to European Glory

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:04:48 +0000

Chairman Gheorghe Nichita decided that he wants to keep Petre Grigoras as Manager, but the relationship between the two of them is not in best terms.

After a couple of days of discussions, Petre Grigoras resigned and wants to get a job at a club where the chairman doesn't hate him.

Speculation are that the replacement will be a Romanian manager who can save Politehnica from the relegation or at least attempt to avoid relegation. Gazeta Sporturilor, Moldova regional edition posted some odds:

Constantin Gache 3.50

Marius Sumudica 6.00

Gabi Balint 9.00

Basarab Panduru 9.00

The chairman Gheorghe Nichita is likely to make an announcement in the next few hours.
