Players wanting to leave is awful too, plus I accidentally set the DoF to be in charge of selling players for the youth team and had to save scum to stop him selling a potential 5* player for a measly £6m because it apparently doesn't even let you make the final decision. Ridiculous.

I think you can set that you have the final decision on outgoing transfers and loans.

I have completed the Sextuple!!

• Super Liga Srbije (W-32 D-4 L-1)
• Kup Srbije (2-0 vs Javor)
• Super Kup Srbije (3-1 vs Partizan)
• UEFA Champions League (2-2 vs Real Madrid. Won on penalties)
• UEFA Super Cup (1-5 vs FC Bayern)
• FIFA Club World Cup (5-1 vs Seognam KOR)

On top of that I won Gold at the Olympics with Serbia. On track for World Cup Qualification.

I think I've now won everything I an with this club. I'm also the first club to win consecutive Champions League titles since Milan in the late 80's.
I don't know what to do here. I only ever load up Serbia when I do the Red Star game as I don't plan on leaving the club.
Do I try another Serbian club and bring them up from the bottom? Do I retire from club football all together and focus on International? Still need the Euro Championship and World Cup title.

I am at a loss.

EDIT**
I now have a target for my game. Less club, more personal. I'm going to knock Sir Alex Ferguson off the top of the Worldwide Ranking.
He's currently only a couple of cups and a few trophies ahead of me. Should get it done by season 20 (Currently season17)

Started up a Journeyman game to run along side my Red Star game. Thought the Wealdstone save was a it but I came to find out I only loaded up England.
So I loaded up every league in game (Playing FMT so there aren't as many) a total of 122K players. and holy crap the loading times day to day leave me with regret.

But I set up a vacation, only to be called back after I got offered a job on day 2. AFAIK I'm meant to accept the first job offer so I am heading to WALES!

League Expectation: Avoid relegation.
Other Expectations: Basically just turn up.
Sounded easy enough, until I saw the squad... Oh dear. Drastic measures have been taken.
 

Spoiler

Basically the new First XI

Season runs August - January followed by a split League (Conference/Playoff).

Time to get into it. I'll let you know by years end (if the game has finished loading) how I've gotten on.

I was just Googling stories about people having a weird newly found real-life affinity for clubs they've managed in FM (Telford and Fulham are my big ones), and came across this in one of the articles...

That door knob bit

Newport Country and the Queens Park from Scotland. Took Queens Park to the SPL and Newport to the Championship.

This is accurate.

Just wanted to spend some time with the koalas.

No kidding.

I've just hit the split, so I have 10 games remaining to do something. Both Airbus and Newtown have fired their managers due to performance already so i may be next.
on the plus side? I'm undefeated in 2017 with 1 win and two draws. Finally found a tactic that might work a bit better, 5-4-1 Wide.

Two games left in the season and we are sitting third with 26 points. Probably not going to catch first place (32 points), and likely won't jump second place (30 points) either, but I'll happily take third with this bunch. Excited to bring in the new roster that I've been piecing together myself since the new year.

I got relegated in 11th place. At some point in the season I hit on a 4-4-1-1 with a SS and a DF, I think, and it was pretty good until my players got snatched from me. When you get relegated try having a go in the Gibraltar division. You can qualify for Europe with a decent enough team.

My boss is the chairman at Newport. Small nugget of information for you.

I'm at a major crossroads in my career. I've just been offered the job of Northern Mariana Islands National Team.

No real surprises there. They had one request. Couldn't fulfill it. Was hoping to maybe finish out the season but it was not meant to be.

Stats so far:

I probably should've quit a long time ago.

Oh well. As they say. On to green pastures.

There are quite a few positions available to me right now, Clubs ranging from Valencia in the Spanish First Division to Maccabi Tel-Aviv in Israel to Perseman in Indonesia.
The world is my playground... Let's see where this adventure takes me...

It seems as if managing a university side was a step too high.
