Baz, why sell Jovetic so soon?

[Mike]

He was never turning down £50million for anyone.

Rather pleased with my start to the season. Hopefully I don't do my usual on this save and stink up the joint for the middle part of the seaosn.

Quite tight at the moment and Baz would be up there as well if Spurs won their games in hand.

[One_Keaneo]

Season 4 is what being a Spurs fan is all about unfortunately.

[Mike]

Had a a perfect night on FM last night really, won every game, knocked Baz out of the cup and my new super rich owners pumped another £130 million into my transfer funds. My teams pretty much good enough not to need to sign anyone though. Plus I want to bring my regens through.

[Spav]

Too easy, Mike. Set yourself a target of 100+ goals in the league and see if you can do that instead.

[Mike]

My only target is to win my first league title.

Don't you dare bottle this, Mike

[Mike]

I know!
Last night was awful, managed to finish on a high beating Liverpool, but seeing my once huge league go down to just 6 points is scary.
I did manage to beat Bayern 4-1 (6-3 over 2 legs) to reach the CL quarter finals and win the first leg of that 1-0 which is good.
I'm sure I can hang onto the league, can't I?

[Guido]

You better Being a Mike-supporter has not been easy over the years, so dammit, I demand some silverware

The final run in!!

FA Cup Final


Team of the Season


Champions League

[Mike]

Took my sweet time eh. Still, my team, full of my players won the league. Wonderful
Clearing up everything in domestic football as I went too. I'd make big claims about getting a CL medal next season, but I doubt it, I plan on selling a few older players and bringing my youth through even more now.
The Reid winning back to back CL's has kind of taken a little of the shine off it though.

Going to be like two weeks till we play again I think.

[Guido]

Well done Mike

[superawesomewbafan]

I'm surprised no-one commented about Baz signing his son from Staines. Looks slightly suspect that signing...

KUTGW Guys, and hopefully Baz can make it past the group stage in Europe, or am I being too optimistic?

It's the first time someone with out sirname has arrived in the game, he is utter turd.

Spain vs. England


Euro 2012

[Mike]

Not sure if I should stick with Spain and the youths I've been bringing though or jump ship to Italy or France to learn another language.
It's also a summer of selling at arsenal, now I've got a league title under my belt it's time to really push the regens.

...But then Holland came a-knocking. (Screenshot confirmation will be posted on Friday.)

Anyway, this save is awesome. My Spurs squad is bigger than I'd like it to be, and some of the regens simply will not get chance to fulfil any potential they may have, but things are still looking good.

The acquisition of Wayne Rooney is probably the biggest news of my summer, although the somewhat meagre pricetag of £19m (same as Cavani, who went the other way in January) makes it seem not quite so big.

My goalkeeper, Ter Stegen, is finally settled so should be good between the sticks this year. His only competition is a Brazilian regen called Richard, who won't feature unless the #1 gets injured. I only have three goalkeepers, and the last spot is filled by a terrible Ukrainian that came through my youth system who only got a contract because of his name.

I have more options in defence than I did at the start of last year, when I literally had six defenders to choose between. Man Utd regen Matty Evans is back for another season on loan, although isn't expected to feature quite as much as last season. I've another regen, Banegas, who can play on either side but he's injury prone so we'll see how that goes. Bought myself a young Dutch leftback too who will get the "Peter Matthews treatment" (every international game, including set pieces to boost his stats) to help out. In the middle, I can sod off the Mexican regen I was boosting, and Bassong's back from his season loan to help out if Bocchetti or Chygrynskiy need a day off.

My midfield is far too busy. I play five midfielders, but the AM position is going to be solely occupied by Rooney, while about 20 players battle it out for the other four spots. Gaitan's pretty much got left mid nailed on, and Schurrle is first choice for right mid (although he doesn't play as well as he did when he was right wing), while Kwadwo Asamoah and M'Vila occupy the central roles. Lots of other players want games though, and some of the regens need games if they're to improve. I've loan listed about 8 of them but nobody's biting.

Up front is pretty bare, when you take Rooney out of the equation. Thankfully I only play one striker, and first option is Jordan Ayew cos he's quick as lightning. I've got Leandro Damiao waiting to play too, along with Herings who's been nothing short of excellent in his commitment to me, since I brought him along from my days at Leyton Orient. No doubt he misses playing every week, but he'll get his chance to stretch his legs in the cups.

So yeah, things are looking good, albeit a little too spoiled for choice. Hopefully I can secure a Champions League spot this year. Must do better in the Europa League this year, too! Didn't even make it out the group last season.

[Mike]

Bringing through regens is a pain.

[tenthreeleader]

Having finally read through the thread from the beginning, this is a fun read.

[Mike]

Having gotten up to date, you'll have a bit of a wait for the next update, we're not playing this week or next I don't think.

[Mike]

Haven't won in the league for about 5 games.

[The Reid]

And here he is, everyone's favourite. Updates are slow these days and i have to take responsibility for that, I went and got a new job (shifts aswell) so it looks like we'll only get to play it 1/3 weeks!

Never mind that though this saves been good up to now, 3 league wins and back to back champions leagues so i can't grumble. Gone for regens now which is a pain because they don't go good over night Peter Matthews is a legend already though, he's around 15 million these days and he's still turd, He's played every international since he was 8 though Jay brackenbridge is in for the same treatment!

[Mike]

First proper post in 4 years right there!

[Baz]

Was trying to go for an unbeaten season, while it's the last one, but West Ham battered me 3-0.

Still top though, and my team's awesome.

[Mike]

My team are useless. The older players who I've kept are losing faith in me due to the young regens not being up to it and us losing more than we win Bad times.

I think it's time for a Scotland save myself

From being fired by Liverpool to being top of the table with Spurs...It's Baz's time to shine!
I have to say lads really enjoyed following this and I can't wait to see FM13's version (hopefully there'll be one!), I assume you'll all be starting with the same teams?

[Mike]

We'll be playing again yeah, same teams. We should be doing a save, though Baz has been banned from td, so he won't be able to post.

I felt sure I was getting the sack after the spurs game. Thankfully I held on and after a win in Europe another followed in the league, that got my moral back to green for my squad, and as we all know that's all that matter in FM, won a few more and look safe, for now.

I'll probably be sacked next time we're on it after saying that.

Because Baz can't post we figured we'd just play the game and not stop to post updates. Here's the end of season six and the end of Intergalactic Deathmatch Football:

And just as a special treat, you can also download the saved game file if you fancy a look at it. Here: http://depositfiles.com/files/u8989vc9o

We hope you've enjoyed reading our story: following Baz's woe of getting sacked by Liverpool, building Leyton Orient into a decent side and then battling it out with the big boys as Spurs; Mike Reid's Champions League domination; and Mike's Arsenal team building up to one amazing season before falling apart the next year. Roll on FM13.
