So season 4 has started,i finally get to play my 1st games of the season 3 hours after the 8pm season start. Uffa silver cup games couple of decent results against a side of similar rank (1win 1 draw) & i think this season could be the one where i press on & maybe mount a title challenge. But after only 2 sfa premier league games i only manage 1 win & a loss, Now i know its still only early but i would say my form is patchy at best & i never seam to go more than a few games winning before a loss. Tried all sorts altering settings on my tactic rotating players, but still no Joy. Beginning to wonder if its through my squad being a little on the young side & the inexperience is playing a part. Hopefully though if that's the case in a season or 2 this will change & maybe i will get to see my side really flying :)

Not Good Enough

So a season that at the half way stage looked very promising petered out to nothing, SFA Premiership alsorans. no where in either cup, Gold Cup knocked out on auto resolve. OK i did win 2 youth comps (u21 League & u19 cup), but i feel this isn't enough for the quality of players at my disposal.

My stadium is coming along nicely & should be finished mid week, Well stage 1 any way stage 2 wont start until i have enough money in the bank but i have the plans in place which when they come to fruition will mean i make more money under this new system than i ever would of done under the existing 1. As my stadium stands now its estimating 142k per day add the 25% media money (roughly 50k) & I'm 20k down from this season.but stage 2 i can turn the 142k into 193k & still have room to expand (SI money sinc or money maker) , OK it is going to cost me nearly 9million to do this but i made nearly 7 million in 1st 2 seasons before spending 7 million on my stadium phase 1.

Football Manager Half Live

So i had qualified for the uffa gold cup last season through finishing 2nd in the sfa premiership,
Group stages drawn, decent enough opposition & thought i had no chance of progressing especially after my 1st game when i only managed a home draw with the weakest side in my group.But going into my final 2 group games i still was in with a shout of qualification, Just need 2 wins against a side ranked 30 places above me in the rankings & with a very impressive side.
2 hard fought wins later & I'm into the knockout stages.

Play my games in the knockout stages and get through to the quart finals. & was waiting for my opposition to win there last 16 tie & then play against me. NOW this is where it falls down, I played my game on Wednesday & Saturday comes still no further games played, I go to bed in the early hours of Sunday & sign back in just before 1pm to find out that all the unplayed gold cup matches had been auto resolved & i had gone out on away goals !!!!!!!!!!!!

Now i find this unfair as i had played my games & given myself plenty of time to play the quarter final matches.Yet through no fault of my own ( i hadn't even been given ai rights) i had gone out of the BIGGEST comp the gameworld currently runs. Now i do understand the reason the auto resolve is used BUT would it not make more sense for it a few games at a time & give us chance of actually playing games (this is the object of the game).
