Football Manager 2014

Cm 97/98 will forever make me love Ibrahim Bakayoko

[JasonM]

Pfft. Original CM or nothing.

#cmhipster

You could say that you're a CM... Punk.

...

I'll just leave now.

[Ant]

CM4s saving grace was Serge Makofo.

[Rich]

Nothing was a saving grace about CM4, it was the worst CM/FM game ever.

I may be biased as my Grimsby Town side got relegated on the last day of the Premier League season when I was winning, made a sub, and then all of a sudden the buggy as shit piece of shit game chaned the score changed to me losing and going down by a single point

[Lineker]

Once on CM4 for me the full time whistle never went. The match literally kept on going until I forced FM to close. It was at like, 300 minutes.

[The Lusophone]

Man, I dunno whether it was because I played the sold-out/pc gamer/mastertronic rerelease version or something else, but I never had any problems.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Won the Europa League with Ipswich, on my birthday! 3-1 victory over free scoring Lyon, a brace from Knockaert and a goal for Lingard. Not bad for a shoestring budget, especially when we head in to the new "Ipswich Stadium" next year.

Australian Manager just got the sack... News article about it says, "Presumably once Australia have got rid of the usual 'Football Manager' applications, they can proceed with the view to appointing someone with real-life experience.'

[Summers]

Anyone suggest a particularly good transfer update?

[Liam]

pr0's on sigames is very good I believe.

[EddieG]

FM 2015.

You'd best have applied, just for ironic purposes.

Yep, lost out to Ange Postecoglou... Ironically he replaced Holger Osiek in real life too.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Finished 5th in the Prem, which was a great achievement seeing as we went all the way in the Europa League too.

Transfers (will probably edit this fully when the window shuts)

Out:

Michael Keane - Newcastle - £9m plus bonuses

Costel Pantilimon - Leicester - £2.8m. Funnily enough he is by far their highest earner now on nearly 100k a week!

Several contracts came to an end too, biggest of which was Dwight Tiendalli

In:

Eric Dier - £4.2m, direct replacement for Keane.

Moussa Sissoko - £4.4m, going to take the place of Hyam alongside JWP.

Luca Maniero - £1.1m from Padova - Direct replacement for Pantilimon to challenge Rene Adler

Thierry Ambrose - £950k from Man City - Depth up front with Knockaert and McGoldrick now Yakubu has retired.

Hoping to aim for more of the same, but a pop at the top four would be lovely.

[Gazz]

Playing CM96/97.

The amount of goals is ridiculous.

I've scored 103 and conceded 53 in 35 league games.

Leeds have scored 96 and conceded 87.

I've beaten Arsenal 5-0, 4-1, 6-1 and 6-2 this season.

Highest score I've seen was Oldham 6-7 Oxford in Division One.

[The Lusophone]

So... not sure if it's a glitch or not but in Nick Powell's loan contract there is nothing about being able to play against his parent club.

Not only has he played, but he's just scored the winning penalty in the Community Shield.

[Baddar]

It'll probably go down as a non competitive match, the Comm Shield, so maybe that's why.

[Gazz]

That clause only applies to the PL.
