Football Manager 2012

[Dingle]

Should have picked Millwall.

I hope to never see or hear those words ever again.

Why is there no option to rage about a team in the Blue Square Premier playing two games in three days? Losing 4-0 to Mansfield because we played two days before and the first-choice team were tired, it's not like we've got Champion's League games to plan for is it?

[Timmoru Suzuki]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

My computer crashed as my Bayern game was saving and I can't load it again 25 plus hours and an hithero unbeaten season down the drain. Mega frustrating, but I suppose that if this doesn't teach me to back-up my video game saves then nothing else will.

That and I might find the time to start a game with a lower-league team now.

[Gazz]

Why do none of you plebs using the 3 file rolling autosave feature? Set it to a weekly save and if it corrupts, you at most lose a week.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Every coach and every scout is demanding £475/week from me. This includes guys who were originally on £90/week from their previous teams or not even on a contract at all. Fuck OFF, you greedy cunts!

Also, I'm randomly on some agent's list of disliked people. I say on, I'm the only person on it. I don't know what I did to Glynn Field but I hope it hurt.

This is a system I shall be taking advantge of from now onwards.

[Hobo]

I may lose Jay DeMerrit because his agent is a prick... And also I realized I was kinda stiffing said agent on fees when I checked DeMerrit's previous contract. But that's no excuse for pulling out of talks straight away! Jerk!

It's not like the guy hasn't been plagued with injuries all season or anything anyway.

Baky Koné is a beast and my new second DP, he has something like seven goals already in six appearances. However, I did praise him after a match and it caused him to lose focus. This might be tied in to how a lot of these players don't seem to have much respect for me yet and my assistant keeps telling me they're struggling to motivate themselves to play for me. I assume because they might have bigger reputations than me. If I don't win them over then some of them will be cut/sold/traded. 'Cause I'm not above being a cunt to players if they need getting rid of.

Has anyone signed Oscar Cardozo with any luck? I'm going into my second season as Spurs Manager after a third place finish in 11/12. Passed on signing Adebayor and his monster wage permanently and am instead going with Oscar, who I bought for six mill, up to 10 based on games and goals.

[Shona B]

Quick question if talks break down between you and a player then later you take him on trial (after he is released) how long till he will discuss contracts with you?

[Noah]

I love that Real Madrid offered Arsenal a large sum for Arshavin, in my current game.

I bought Cardozo for Spurs on FM 10! He won me the league!

[Plubby]

I reinforced the signing with Goran Pandev for 3.7 million. He started well with a first-half hattrick from a friendly.

...

[Sam]

14 games in and I have picked up just 13 points with Coventry we're sitting a place above the relegation zone, haven't got anything away from home yet, if I can scrape a few draws away then I think I may be okay. Club loses 1/2 million each month though, so I think more sales will be needed in the January transfer window. My main signings have all been frees, somewhat stupid ones too.... Stern John and Marco Matterazzi... and a big loanee could Papadopalos who apparently never scores... oops.

[Plubby]

I just locked up Modric for another four years, and fell into the earlier mentioned Highest Match Fee earner with Van Der Vaart. Now they're both on 100K, and my wage budget is blown out ever so slightly.

...Mind you, in the two games since being on 100K, VDV has hit four goals, from an average range of about 22 yards.

It's like 100K per week unlocks Piledriver mode for Rafa.

[Dingle]

Is it just on the contracts screen for each players profile? Having managed lower teams I haven't come across it yet I don't think, but I always sell all my high earners anyway.

[Thrilla]

Just had four injuries in one game and one guy with a knock. Dirty Villa bastards.

[The Lusophone]

I always sell all my high earners anyway.

Why sell when you can, in most cases, negotiate down?

Cut Argyle's wage bill in half with about 6 renegotiations.

[Thrilla]

Also, whenever I read 'X hasn't scored in 838 minutes of football', he becomes a goddamn lock to score against me. Fuck you, Robbie Keane.

Well, in the case of Dynamo's, all my high earners were absolutely shit.

[Sam]

Just seen my name is insecure in the job centre.... somebody hug me

20 points from 26 games tells it's own story though, we're sat 21st and I can't figure out how to turn it around
