Football Manager 2012

[Sky Blue Gael]

Think i have done a fairly good job at Queens. Have signed a pile of 16 year olds who are now starting to dominate the under18 leagues. Only a matter of time until they come through and i can sell them for some transfer money

5 seasons in with liverpool. One premier league in 11/12, One carling cup 12/13, 3 Champions League 12/13, 13/14, 14/15.  Two World Clubs, haven't played the third yet Getting £80m a year to spend!

Rooney scored a 93rd minute winner to take the league from me in 13/14, couldn't get near them in 14/15.

Steven Gerrard was manager of Chelsea but got sacked, retired 12/13 after cruciate injury.

If only Kenny Daglish could take the option of not saving after every liverpool defeat!

Hasn't been done yet. Saving before each game would take too long!

Cavani and Leandro Damiao have been good signings for me.

f**k you lads would nearly make me go buy it! Bought it last year and ended up only playing it for about 2 weeks - it was such an impulse buy at the time. Don't know if I would get the time but used to spend some time on it. Remember my greatest achievement was winning the 2022 World Cup with Ireland 4-5 games ago!

Here's a question for yous all, if you're addicts like myself.. Have you ever signed anyone in the game, who was a virtual unknown, and then went on to become a class palyer for you. Then a few months or years later, in real life he is on every club's radar? I have had a few of these cases over the years. Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez are more recent discoveries, before they started making headlines in real life. No-one believes me but I scouted and signed Kaka from Sao Paulo in the 01/02 game, before he went to Milan in real life.

zlatan ibrahimovic!

[EagleLord]

I would beleive that Oak, but the wink suggests that you're taking the piss out of me...

[Oak Leafer]

I'm being deadly serious!

Championship Manager days!

[EagleLord]

Aye same with me Championship Manager 01/02!

In an old game of mine, Matthew Blinkhorn was tearing up the Championship (Division 1) with Blackpool. Inter Milan snatched him up for about a million quid. He went on to be the best English striker about. I was Chelsea and had a £20million bid laughed at.
In real life Matthew is currently playing for Sligo Rovers.

I remember buying Sanli Tuncay maybe 5 or 6 games ago (Might even have been back in the championship manager days) when no one had ever heard of him for United. He scored at least every game no exageration. Got world player of the year and golden boot and stuff.  Then somebody bought him in real life and it turned out he was shite!

Is the iphone app version out yet?

I seen it in the app store there today £6.99. I must get it for when I'm bored over the Christmas holidays!

In Championship Manager 4 I mind signing Vidic for 2.5 million from Red Star Belgrade. He was basically unheard of then.

I mind in that game Fabregas was a 15 year old with Arsenal and was dubbed the 'next Luis Enrique'.

In terms of the new game: The goalkeeper Courtois of Chelsea turns out to be one of the best in the world. Sebastien Coates of Liverpool turns out to be one of the best defenders in the game, Jordan Henderson, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze become top midfielders while Pato and Bojan become the best strikers.
