The Specky Forum Organiser 64,689 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just won promotion to The Championship with Oxford with 2 games to go, won the checkatrade trophy as well. Initial budget is about £3m and that's going to be tough to stay in the Championship with but looking forward to the challenge. 4 of my regular starters are loans and I'm trying to get them all back for next season as all have done well, think the limit on loans is 4 which will mean everyone I bring in will need to be permenant.

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,689 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Managed to get a bit more money and pretty happy with what I've done Brought in Jack Whatmough, Luke Garbutt on loan again Josh Scowen, Ricky Holmes on a permenant deal, Matty Taylor on a permenant deal, Billy Sharp and Jack Marriott The strikers took up most of my budget but was needed, Taylor scored about 20 between January and May last season when I brought him in but didn't have much more. Think only 2 other players got into double figures and one was Jamie Mackie and he was injured from about January onwards. Went with a 4-3-3 last season but think I'm going to switch to a 3-5-2 this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 71,482 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Got to quarters of the CL, need a goal in the last 20 mins to put Arsenal out, go down to 9 men, one of them is the same prick that fucked me against Juve the season before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just got 2nd promotion in 2 years with Queen's Park. Next season will be Championship football 😂 Near enough my entire team are wanted and with them all being amateur, I'll no doubt lose all of them! I've enjoyed the save but it's so frustrating losing talent, especially youth. For the first time ever I received the youth intake with the message that these players are a golden generation for the club. Gave five 16 year olds their debuts from that intake and lost them all within 10 games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready1873 3,885 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I started a Queens Park save too. Billy Mortimer is a legend first season. Got beat in the play offs by Clyde after an end of season collapse and started the 2nd season badly so took the Doncaster job but no touched it since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangeclement 570 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I used the create a club option and built my own Rangers team using promising u21 players the only problem is every 6 months all of Europe's big clubs come and cherry pick my players ..... but with some perseverance and three rebuilds layer I finally won the UCL in the 4th season bearing Liverpool 3-1.

Pretty much every youngster has been taken by the likes of Hamilton and Dunfermline. Got interest in about 8 of my players and the league hasn't even started. Then again I was shocked that the likes of Ness, Hodson, Rossiter (new signing this season), Ridgers, Welsh etc would come and play for nothing. I've just turned down the Dundee job who are in the same league, looked interesting but fancied a crack at the Championship with this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hard coded that Queen's Park can't change from amateur status. Although it would be interesting if we somehow got to the Prem if it would change anything, though I doubt it. We've also just moved to Lesser Hampden, so no more big money Scottish Cup ties at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Must be hard losing players like that. Been tempted with queen's park before but I'd end up losing interest because of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 64,689 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 19th after 12 games. Going to be a long season but would be delighted with 21st and above though. Defensively been brilliant but seriously struggling to score goals. Just came from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 away to Newcastle so hoping that will be a boost to my strikers.

wully 47,343 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Loaded up my Everton save for the first time in a fortnight and ive loaned the cunt from Dortmund that the tarriers signed. Loan deal terminated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 64,689 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 End of January with Oxford. 20th but with a 6 point cushion between me and 22nd. Home form is really good and is what will keep me up if I stay up, haven't won away yet in the league but just beat Boro away in an FA cup replay on penalties.

wully 47,343 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Cant find the terminate loan option What to get rid of Zouma aswell, he's injured for 7 months so I could be doing without his 46k on the wage bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the loan conditions, most AI teams add the 'Loan cannot be terminated' option. I took Queen's Park to the promise land with star striker Joe Dodoo 😂 Unfortunately, even though I had no plans of leaving, Rangers came calling. I just can't turn them down even in the AI world! Just completed a first season quadruple. League, both cups and Europa League. Which brings up two firsts for me; 1 - Never won a quad before and been playing since the CM2 days. 2 - With Hearts reaching the quarters (no idea how) and the scum getting to 2nd Knockout Stage, our co-efficient boost was huge. As of season after next, we will have 2 clubs in the UCL Groups and 1 in the qualifiers! Never had 3 Scottish teams in the Champs League before in my saves. The only tough thing for me now is that I'm debating quitting the save. As successful as it has been, taking QP to the Prem so quick and Rangers to a first season quadruple just seemed so unrealistic to me. I never have these games with instant success at every club. EDIT - Graeme Murty was my successor at Queen's Park 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
