Guest Noddy1989 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Haven't played it yet, I'm purposely putting it off until I finish a book I'm reading as I know nothing will be done when I start playing. Not sure I'll start as Boro though, rather tempted to go straight into Darlington or York. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroDownSouth 60 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I just use choose club for me, and use whichever comes up first. Much more exciting. I am Stoke, not doing too badly, start of december and I'm 9th with a game in hand on 18 points Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm flying through this, Im already in October 2012. Won the championship, so its been fairly easy. I'm just using a tactic from last year. But the premiership is a difficult step up... I've lost 5 and won 2, been destroyed by Utd, Liverpool and ***nal, but beat chelsea away 1-0 somehow. Also beat west ham, lost to wolves and bolton. So it'll be a tough fight for survival. Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not sure I'll start as Boro though, rather tempted to go straight into Darlington or York. Its all about Blyth Spartans mate. :cool: Or Whitby Town. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Stayed up to 5am last night tinkering with my boro side! In October now, sitting in 4th, so not far off real life! here are my transfers (and theres a lot of them!!): Out: Kink (3.5mil!!!!!!!) Bailey (1.2mil) Grounds (775k) Zemmama (1mil) Robson (725k) Hoyte (1.7mil) In: Pernia (free) Gibbs (loan) Rose (loan) Bannan (loan) Jutkiewicz (3mil) Cha Du-Ri (475) Jakubko (400k) Loovens (375k) Matt Phillips (4mil) James Dayton (150k) Marco Verratti (2.5mil) I too sold Kink for 3.7 million and Hoyte at 1.6 million. Totally unrealistic, but nevertheless some good deals. Haven't really bought or loaned any players. Only one signing in Cedric. A young, spanish u20 winger with great potential. Cost me 1.9 million. I'm not one who usually makes a lot of signings at once. Linup is: ----------Steele----------- McMahon-McManus-Bates-Bennet ---Thomson-R.Williams-Robson--- Emnes-----------------------Cedric -------------McDonald------------- Only in start october but I'm up there and have lost only once (away at Leicester). Good game, but Gibson is being cheap and restricting me to only 4 coaches for senior players. I want more to develop my players and tactics. And NB4, how can you spend that much money? Your bank account must be bleeding? I'm bleeding somthing like 700.000 a month, so can't really spend money if I want to be in the plus over the season. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I was about 6mil in the red by the end of the 1st season, but promoted, so totally worth it. Luckily, although I spent quite a lot in terms of fees (net 3mil, mainly cause I spread costs over 4 years), the guys I brought in were on lower wages than those that went out, so I did a Mowbray and reduced the wage bill even more, which increasing the quality in the team. The players we have just weren't good enough. I'm now a top half premiership team 4 years in, and the only players that remain are Rhys Williams and Jason Steele. I don't have any room for sentiment in my managing style, and if I can sign a player who is better than what I have, I'll sign him and sell the other. This is my team now: Enyeama/Steele Walker/Danze Dann Wilson Jack Robinson Williams/Verratti Delph/Bressian Hoilett Sinclair Macheda/Kadlec/Roux/Babacar Link to post Share on other sites
