I won Serie A in my first season as Juventus, then took the Brazil job in the summer. Looking to sign a defender or two this summer and maybe another midfielder with the likes of Cannavaro, Poulsen and Zebina leaving the club.

1st season on 10.3 patch with Liverpool

2nd in the league, 1 point behind City. Won League Cup, won FA Cup. Last 16 of CL.

2nd Season budget - £40mil. Bought Hazard for £15mil and a few kids for the reserves/back up.

Team:

Renia

Johnson
Carragher
Agger
Aurelio

Rodriguiez
Gerrard
Lucas (was impressive all last season)
Hazard

Torres
Babel (Best position for him)

Bench
D. Martin
Stoor (versatile defender from Fulham (£2mil)
Skirtel
Mascherano
Benayoun
N'gog
Nemeth (from reserves)

Looking to sign a midfielder with my remaining budget. Signed Rafinha and Criscito from the co-ownership with Genoa to beef up my defence. I'm keeping my eye on Nasri, Defour and Di Maria to solve my midfield dilemma. Any other suggestions ?

Currently in my 4th season, on 1st January. I'm amazingly sitting in 3rd position and 3 points behind leaders Chelsea, it would be some achievement to get in the Champions League, never mind win the league.

1st Season - Promotion to Championship (as Champions)
2nd Season - Promotion to Premiership (finished 2nd)
3rd Season - A respectable 10th placed finish
4th Season - Currently sitting in 3rd place on 1st January, so who knows?

I'm actually really enjoying the game too, this is the longest game i've ever played. I'm going to look to do another few seasons at Southampton, and then maybe look to either take the United job, or go abroad.

My copy of fm 2010 (steam) keeps crashing when I start a match, any had this problem or have a solution.

Best advice i can give is go on the Si forums and ask there, they are bound to have a reason/solution.

I finished fourth with Southampton, which obviously means Champions League football. They once again gave me plenty to spend, and i have signed some world class players as well some youngsters with great potential to try and keep Southampton going in the right direction.

I sold quite a few players as they were getting in there 30's, and they were more stop gap signings that were able to make a good fist of the Premiership, and they probably exceeded expectations and got me to 4th, which was a great achievements. I brought in Augero, Sneijder and Balotelli amongst others, and the board want me to challenge for the title this season, which i am confident of doing. I wasn't far off last season being in a reasonable position to challenge with about 10 games to go, however, i then lost a few, got a few injuries etc., and obviously dropped away and Chelsea won the league very easily in the end. There was 5 or 6 of us, on about 64 points, fighting it out for the final 3 champions league places, thankfully, i got one. I'll list my squad tomorrow when i have time, but its a top quality squad that is also the youngest in the league.

Managed to get it to work in the end. Seems like it is a temporary fix though.

My current Southampton squad is:

Hart
Murphy

Kolarov
N'Koulou
Papastathopoulous
Evans
Rodwell
Mathias (Regen)
Xavier (Regen)
Fabio

Zucilini
Mackay (Regen)
Vukojevic
Sandro
Fletcher (Darren)
Guardado
Sneijder
Blanco
Sanchez
Albin
Aspiazu (Regen)
Balotetelli

Augero
Pacheco
Chamakah
Fletcher (Steven)
Kadlec

The 2013/2014 season is looking like the first time Liverpool will win the Premiership on my game, 10 games left and the top 3 are the only real challengers, here's the table:



I'm into the 6th round of the FA cup where I'm away at Manchester City, into the last 16 of the Champions league against Athletico Madrid and beat Manchester United for the first time in the game (2-1). I have the easiest run in of the three, only troublesome games should be Tottenham, Manchester United, Everton. Hopefully I can make the season more successful by taking Brazil to World Cup glory, as for the 30 games in charge my record is 23-6-1 (only losing to Argentina in a friendly).

My first season at Spurs (the 4th in the game) went pretty well.

Finished 5th by 2 points, and got to the semi of the FA Cup where I lost to Arsenal who walked the league by about 15 points.

In the CL I managed to come qualify unbeaten in 2nd from a group that included Barca, Juve and Leverkusen. In the last 16 I drew holders (and eventual winners Madrid) and beat them 3-0 at the lane. Half time in Madrid and it's 0-0. Easy peasy you would think. I ended up finishing the game with 9 men and losing 4-0



Started the new season well though with 3 wins from 3 and have qualified for the group stage of the Europa League where I have St Mirren, Metalist Khirkov and some team I never heard of.

Currently sitting in 3rd place, 6 points behind 1st placed City, with a game in hand, 3 Points behind Man United on the same games. 9 games to go, genuinely have a chance to win the league, i have also won the league cup, beating City in the final. Knocked out in the 4th round of the FA Cup to Arsenal and knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League to Roma, despite beating them 3-1 at home in the first leg (They won 2-0 at there place), which was a little disappointing.

Also, i've sold Steven Fletcher to Barcelona for £20million, he was quality last season for Newcastle and when i signed him in January was quality for me also, but this season he's just not done the buisness so i wanted to cash in on him. I'm also looking to let the following players go Chamakah, Blanco, Sneijder and Guardado providing i can get better replacements. I've already signed Fernando Torres (28 on my game), Verratti and Sanogo for next season, with Jovetic close to signing providing i get a work permit (which he usually does). I've got the best attack in the league by some distance but my defence is pretty shaky so i will be looking to stengthen that area, but i don't think there's many top defender available.

Managed to win the league with 2 games to go, with results going my way and me winning every game in April. Great achievement.

I'm hoping that somebody can help me here. When I try to open FM2010 on the laptop, Steam loads but then the game won't start and it comes up with the following error message:

XML Parsing Error!
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 of default.xml

Anybody have an idea of what I can do?

Never mind, I have sorted it now



With 1 game left I have won the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Goodison Park, made it even sweeter...

Was knocked out of the CL in the semi final by Valencia (3-1 agg), but I'm in the FA cup final against Middlesborough (Who I just beat 5-2 in the league). So hopefully I'll do the double, then do well in the World Cup with Brazil

Im currently Southampton in 2010, got promoted through playoffs in first season, currently top of the Championship by about 8 points with 12 to go, and in the Semis of the FA Cup, having KOd Man City and Liverpool on the way!

I'm in seasons 2014/1015 with Southampton, really enjoying it. Won the premiership last season, read my previous posts for updates. Now a top team, never lasted so long on a game!

I bought this game last month and after a failed attempt at keeping Hull in the Premier League and being sacked as a result I decided to start a new game. After debating what to do I have decided to try to restore Ajax to their former European glories.

Sit 2nd in the table 4 pts behind Liverpool after losing just one game from 14 (actually beat Liverpool). Qualified as group winners from my Europa League group conceding just 1 goal in the 5 games played. Lost in extra time to West Ham in the cup after Ledley King was sent off.

Also now manager of Brazil who host the World Cup at the end of the season. Sat 16th in the World Rankings and my first 2 games in charge were a win over 5th placed Holland 2-1 and a 1-1 draw with 15th placed Ghana. Go to 2nd placed Spain for a friendly prior to the World Cup were I have drawn France, Mexico and Iran.

It shouldn't be too hard for you to dominate in Holland, but dominating the top tier of Europe could be a challenge. I'd say your best bet is finding the highest PA youngsters on the game, getting them in early and building a strong core to the team. I'd probably sacrifice stop-gap players for younger players, even if they aren't as good, because they should be better eventually.

What are the rules with regards to foreign players in Holland? Dinamo Zagreb have some top players who'd do really well at Ajax, especially Badelj. Have you managed to keep hold of Suarez?

Amazingly won the treble with Southampton, as well as losing in the league cup final. Beat Man City in the Champions League final and beat West Ham in the FA cup final, i also won the Premiership on the last day of the season, due to Chelsea losing 1-0 away to derby, and i won at home. Another pre-season to come, but i have a very young side now, that are all coming into there prime, so a few older players will be allowed to leave the club, and i will look to bring in one or two top quality players.

Sometimes when jobs become available, it won't allow me to 'apply for job', anyone know why? (Usually happens with international jobs, and occasionally with clubs).

Quality achievement



Trying to do something similiar with Notts Forest, in 12/13 season, 1st in the Premiership, having won the League Cup the previous year. Got a few wonderkids, the defence is shakey however having Mark Beevers and Joe Mattock in the defence! For a potential title winning team! :O

Just qualified for the 2nd stage of the Europa League too, and have Coventry at home in the F.A Cup.

It's just a shame my finances are always dire, currently 5 Million in debt (Largely due to monthly installments) and the previous year I had no choice but to sell Leo for 34.5 Million to Aston Villa!

Notice Newcastle and Fulham have been tookover by random wealthy backers, has anyone playing as a human game obviously been tookover by a sugar daddy?

I didn't get took over at Southampton, but they give me a lot of money to spend each season, and as soon as i get into any debt, they come along and just give me what ever to make sure i'm always £30million in the black. I didn't have money starting off though, only since i've been in the premiership, although i've sold a lot of players and generated money myself, but the board have been giving me about £60-70million a year to spend, and then after winning everything but the league cup last season, they gave me £100million to spend. I haven't been took over though, nor did i know that i would be getting this money when i started off as Southampton, like i say, it was only really in my premiership season they started to boost my transfer, just rewards i suppose.

09/10 season - Promotion (Champions of League 1 - despite starting on -10 points)
10/11 season - Promotion (Runners up to West Brom)
11/12 season - Finished 10th in the Premiership
12/13 season - Finished 4th
13/14 season - Premiership champions and League Cup winners
14/15 season - Premiership champions, FA cup winners and Champions winners (and league cup finalists)

Just started next season now, having won the Charity shield, beating Man City.

I've been taken over as Liverpool, I'm in pre-season and they've given me £65m to spend to challenge for the title once more



In the World Cup I qualified through the group stage (with Greece, Oman and Costa Rica) and then beat Chile in the next round. I've conceded just 1 goal in my loss to Greece, because Marcelo was sent off after 11 minutes

I have Croatia in the QF's and then should play the winners of England and France...
