Football Manager Society II

See I know this should be the case for me but it just isn't. I look at the screen that lists every trophy, often including the Community Shield/Super Cup/World Club Cup and the other ones i've won absolutely everything, and I just think 'meh'. It's always the point in the game when I lose motivation, when I can't be bothered to do anymore because it has all been done.

I think my favourite ever achievement was winning the Prem with Preston about 4 seasons in, I loved that side

Well I've been thinking of quitting and taking the Man Utd job [Steve Bruce took them to a glorious 7th ] but idk, I wouldn't be guaranteed. Also thinking of the youngsters I've got coming through I get excited by them and want to see how they do.

City to Utd? U mad?

Actually watching my youngsters, especially regens, develop can keep an otherwise mundane game going for a while I suppose.

yeah i know. according to the game i was one of the touted names, but they'd never ask me while i'm there. i'd have to quit first. Think I'd leave if Munich wanted me too tbh

on a other note is it possibly to prove a scout wrong
say he says a player is a 2.5 potential im not saying can he break the records but can he get to say 3/3.5 star if at a good enough club

why have you got to quit first

im pretty sure ive applied to jobs while currently managing

If you really develop him well, he will get an extra half a star or so on his potential.



I have too, but I'm managing Man City and would be applying for the Man Utd job.

oh that's cool got a couple two and a half 18 year olds like jake fowler who im hoping to improve slightly

so you cant apply for your rivals thats interesting didn't know that although saying that i dont usually play as liverpools rivals XD so dont have to worry aba it

I need some transfer advice.

As Aston Villa in FM 2010, first season, I have bought Badelj, Lukaku, Neymar and Otamendi, while loaning Heskey and selling Carew. I need some form of experienced striker and central midfielder (preferably defensive) to make an immediate impact and as cover for the wonderkids while they train or if they're injured. Due to the expensive signings (had to pay in installments), I have around 3mil left.

Cheers.

i love watching my youth come through i feel dead proud when a regen has come through my youth system all the way and then watching him score that winner in the champions league final....

well i ssigned van persie
and i was just curious at what people think his best role is im leaning towards tresquista or deep lying forward?

Advanced Forward - I hope you have a replacement or back-up for him though, as much like real life he's amazing but gets injured way to often. I'm pretty sure he picked up two-three month long injuries and then many more knocks that kept him out for a few weeks.



I'd go for trying to loan some old but good players - maybe someone like Raul/Owen/Nistlerooy? then for CM maybe Rivaldo or someone.
