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!

Location: From Hull and now trying to spread the RL word in Liverpool, and failing dismally.
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.

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 :lol:

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.


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

I've also just took over the Brazil job. Was ranked 25th in the world, but then when i took over, they were half way through the Copa America (i don't know why there manager was sacked as they were unbeaten), so i took over his team really and won the copa America and then Brazil jumped to number 10 in the world. Also beat Wals in a friendly 4-0. I find the internationals a bit rubbish, might pack in soon, but we'll see.
