Gaming Football Manager 2016

Meh, I'm gonna wait a while with the jobs in Europe if I can help it. I just feel like the path from a lower league European job is just a step away from managing the bigger teams :lol:

I embraced the shiteness of Pune FC though, and the fact that we're not able to sign anyone due to the club being bankrupt. I implemented a counter attacking style, and I'm now undefeated in 6 games! My star player is a 35 year old Korean-dude who is trying to retire, but I keep telling him otherwise :D

For some reason, the club is not producing any youngsters though, so my U18 team is literally empty. No wait, there is one guy there which my coaches keeps reporting on. I think they are handing me like 3 reports on the same dude every single day. Guess they need to something to do as well...

Looks like I should have ticked India and China in the nations column.

It's great fun so far, though I'm a bit sad that I'm not able to bring in any players and the board are total cuntnuggest (except when funding my coaching badges).

I was planning on leaving as soon as possible, but I guess my rep will become much greater if I stay and actually win the damn league.

Edit: First sign of trouble and I'm gone though....

Do keep posting updates, it's a fun read. I hope to start playing tonight.
 
Honestly, this league is so strange! I go 20 days + between games, and then it's suddenly 3 games in 5 days or some shit. In the long breaks between games, 11-14 of my players always picks up long term-ish (5 weeks+) injuries. Every time.

The rep you gain winning a league is based on the rep of the league you win though, so I doubt it'll be much :D
 
After losing literally all of my first XI + subs to injuries, suffering 3 losses in a row, I doubt that I'll win the league anyways. So hah!
 
Oh well, after the 5 month season in India, I find myself 2nd in the table with one game to go. I play the already relegated Aizawi FC, whilst my competition for the 2nd place is playing the crowned champions away from home. Piece of cake, right? Right.

I concede in the 94th minute to make it 2-1 to the relegation fodder whilst the other team secured a draw away to the champions. Pushing me down to 3rd.

Dont make any mistakes, I was tipped to be one of the relegated teams this season. However, in a shitty season, a 2nd place would've been a great thing for our squad to achieve. 3rd is not bad, but it's the manner of how it happens that really irks me. Now the board has cut all spending yet again, and refuse to accept me training for another coaching badge. Which means that I.am.out'ahere.

Lets see which club will have a semi-failed nobody from Norway who've only been employed by Canada U23, Zambia and the shittiest team in India, shall we...
 
I wonder if the board will create any drama when I use the office printer / fax to send out these 9 applications for random clubs...

Edit: Nope, they didnt notice. I think I even CC'ed my director in one of the mails I sent out when applying for the vacancy at FC Cape Town.. Hmm.

Could you help me identify the attribute regarding player's recovery match after match.Like some players take longer time to get fit after a match for next match. eg. Laporte- He even has good stamina

Natural fitness I believe mate

Haha love reading your updates.
 
Well, the board finally figured out that I was looking for a way out of India. Not until I was gone though, and the chairman found a pile of shite on his desk. That'll be the last time he'll ever refuse a coach to take his coaching badge.

Egypt, the national team, for some reason approached me even without me contacting them. Idiots. I accepted though, simply because I've been starved of working with decent players for the last 3 years. I wanted to save myself the hassle of travelling from India to Egypt all the time though, so I accepted the job as the manager of Cape Town All Stars (that name :drool:). I have no idea if South Africa is closer or further away from India though, so might not been the best option. Even worse, which I realised after accepting, is that they just got relegated into the South African Second Division, and every single player wants out.

Oh well, all a part of this adventure-based save I guess.
 
Ah South Africa, where the clubs are as diverse as Ellis Island in the 30s (I have no idea when they all arrived there either, so sue me). So far I've faced Ajax Cape Town, FC Cape Town and Cape Town Spurs.

I wonder if this club could afford to travel outside of Cape Town.

It has to do with how much stamina the player has compared to his workrate. If your player has high stamina, but an even higher workrate, he'll get more tired. Natural fitness is also very important when it comes to this.

Read about the attributes here.

How do you ask the board to spend for your training badges @Burrow? Board request?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I just go to "My profile" and chose the "Study for coaching badge" or something like that. Then you'll be taken to the board room-screen, and they'll grant / refuse your request.

Preseason done. 3 losses and 2 draws for WW Hamme in 5 games but I'm going to lay all the blame for that on the Asst as he was in charge. cnut, can't even win vs nobodies in Belgium.
 
Atleast one of the draws was vs Rupel Boom who had turned me down after the interview. Can't even beat my assman. Ha!
 
:D If I took it personally every time I lost against a team that rejected me, I would cry my self to sleep every night..
 
Got beat 3-0 away in the 4th round of the cup to go out. Min target was 5th round :nervous:

Won the next league game with an 88th manner winner which was excellent.

The best thing about the save is that I have a budget of 0 and a wage budget exactly equal to my current total wage meaning I can't even get loans in. Sold 2 players for free to clear wages to get 1 free agent in.

The board have told me that the club is skint and doesn't have the money for me to do any badges. They said this and left the room in a huff leaving no scope for any discussion :lol:
 
Weekend is here though so I should complete atleast half a season if I'm still at the job :D
 
Glad to see that the clubs are as much of a shambles in Europe as they are in India and South Africa at least :D

Startet my season in the South African 2nd division with a loss and a win, and I've been reminded how terrible the attitude and work ethics of the African players in this game was like. As soon as we get to HT, everyone is either complacement, disinterested or shitting themself, no matter the score.

I am on the lookout for jobs in Argentina or Brazil. Should be a lot of fun.
 
I might give this adventure save thing a go too. I'm currently two divisions below the Conference North/South in my save at the moment so I'm not going anywhere quickly in that.

What leagues do people recommend loading? Just the really obscure ones - if so, all the divisions available? Or have people added England, Spain etc too just to give them something to eventually aim for?

I picked the most obscure and fun leagues I could imagine, and the less reputable leagues the easier you'll get a job. I just added the Spanish and French leagues up until the lowest tier, and removed India and Canada since I've already managed there.

I did load England but shouldn't have as I won't take a job there anyways. You can leave them out for now and load them later once you have played few seasons.
 
Ah brilliant thanks @Varun @Burrow didnt realise you could load leagues from scratch into the save... Makes it much easier then! Thanks, I'll start one later today. Should be fun
 
Ok so my adventure save begins...

Boris Derp has entered the managerial fray. I'm not quite sure who on Earth would give him anything - money, a job, even the time of day for a chat - as he's truly an idiot of the biggest proportions. Terrible at everything football related, but nontheless he's determined to forge a career somewhere. Who knows where he'll end up?...

The Indonesian 3rd Division, apparently. PSBL Bandar Lampung are lamp-ing £250p/w on Boris to be their manager for the next season. Boris is overjoyed and jumps on a plane immediately... the journey begins.
 
Boris is determined. After his initial meeting with the chairman and his backroom team, he walks out of the door and walks straight back in. The Chairman, already having had enough of this bloke and his nonsensical answers in the meeting, raises an eyebrow.

'...Yes?'
'You need to pay money for me to get a National C Coaching Licence. I'll be very busy during this period so I can't train the team so well, and I'm definitely going to jump ship as soon as I get it'
'lolno, do I have dickhead written on my forehead? Get out of my office'
'Er... no, wait! I... want to use... this licence to, err... help this team improve?'
'Look. I hate you already and I've signed an idiot. If I pay for this course, will you get the feck out of my office and never bother me again? Are... are you picking your nose?'
'What? No!' *wipes his finger on the edge of the chairman's desk*
'...I've granted your request. Now feck off, idiot.'
'YAY!'

Boris Derp, on his first day of management and for the first job he applied for, is now on his way to becoming a licensed coach! He's overjoyed - United, he's on his way!
 
Burrow said:
Ok great, now my assistant figured he should schedule friendlies.

He arranges four (FOUR) friendlies against my U21-team, and noone else. What the god damn actual feck.

Your hilarious! Loved reading your posts
 
Boris Derp has noticed a problem - in his first team squad of 17 players, 4 are goalkeepers. He's really confused because he's sure that you only ever need one goalkeeper on the pitch at a time, there's only one goal?? He wonders whether football is played differently in Indonesia...
 
I've not been able to play much lately, but I've noticed that I got an amazing way of turning a profit at my clubs!

With Pune FC, they had a £600k deficit in the season I arrived which basically bankrupted such a small club. I turned the fecker around and managed to leave the club in a season where they turned a £100k profit!
I dont know if it's the case with every club outside of the big 5 leagues, but every club seems to be run terrible. Cape Town All Stars (that name tho :drool:) managed to end up £200k in the red last season. So far I've turned it around, and we're currently £600k in the black! (Granted, most things are black down here in SA. Makes you wonder how they ended up so deep in the red last season...)

Happy to say that the transfer window is now closed, and I managed to keep every single fecker who wanted to leave when I arrived. Granted, they are not extremely happy. But this is how things are done under my reign, and we all know that I'm not going to stick around if any sort of revolting happens. That's the beauty if being at rock bottom, managing a South African league 2 side; Nothing to lose. Except games. And honor. And reputation. And my job.

Anyways, I'll make sure that we'll get this promotion. Unless something better pops up. Not until I've secured my Continental B license though. All those badges :drool:
 
The mighty sphinxses (I just assume that's what the Egyptian national team is called) just qualified to the World Cup!! :D This is my moment to shine.

I have to be fair, the team had more or less qualified when I accepted the job. All I needed from the last two games was a single point, and with the guidance and guile of this journeyman manager, I ended up losing the last two games and qualified due to the ineptitude of the teams chasing me (is that the longest sentence or what?).

I imagine my reputation will blossom when I show the world that the trophy belongs to the oldest footballing nation of all times; Egypt.

Edit: Ah, my fame is starting already! They already referred to my successes as (and I quote) "He famously knocked Mexico U23 out of the Olympic Quals (NAM) with Canada U23, and can now add good work with Egypt to a growing list of positives in an impressive managerial career."
 
The world cup. Nicely done @Burrow.

I'm still at VW Hamme. The chairman acts as if I asked him for his kidney when I bring up coaching badges so I'm thinking of moving out now.

:lol: Were you able to atleast bag yourself one badge?

Nope. Half a season done and he simply says we're skint and can't allow you before leaving the room. Does not even let me discuss any further.

I would be out of there the second they refused! That's the only reason to join that heap of shit, and they should be kissing your feet just for accepting the damn job!

The entire club is worth 90k mate :lol:. They are bloody skint. I have applied for 2 jobs in South America now. Let's hope I land one.

That's no excuse for refusing your development as a professional!

I'm happy to announce that my motivation is now at an all time high, a whopping "11". I'm still stuck at half a star of reputation though (10% in the stat-bar thingy), so I need to step up my game! No wonder though, I dont know any managers currently managing in the South African 2nd division either..
