papaguy51 941 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I always try to run at a profit. I play too many games as Rangers, so profit is always in the back of my mind Means I get more cash next year, because when you Man City some of the valuations of players are incredible.

chris_glasgow 2 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 My Man City side went unbeaten in the league last year, winning 33 games and drawing 5. Won by 17 points in the end I also win the League Cup and the FA Cup, but lost in the CL Quarters to Inter even though I humped them over two legs. Most importantly, I actually managed to run the club at a a profit of £5m for the season! I find in FM the least important thing is running the club at a profit. If the board throw money at you then so be it. In FM08 I spent £63m on Joao Moutinho made up of a huge lump sum then paying another huge sum over 18 months. The club were skint fo 18 months paying back the transfer. Ended up about £40m in debt and still kept the job. I love FM! Veloso is so much better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still playing 08 with Barcelona and run a tighter ship. Try to bring through the youngsters or buy youngsters on the cheap who will turn good. I enjoy it more when the players are computer generated. At the minute Messi is 32, Bojan is about 29 and Veloso is 33. Them and Matias Fernandez are the only recognised players I have left in my team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOLUWDC 1 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Last day of the season and St. Johnstone, Dunfermline and QOTS all have a chance of going up. For my team to gain promotion we have to win and hope St. Johnstone don't win away to Livingston and Dunfermline lose at home to Thistle. 3 minutes in I'm losing 1-0 but go in 2-1 ahead at the break, St. Johnstone are winning 1-0 at this point and Dunfermline are drawing 0-0. Last 20 minutes and I'm comfortably winning 4-1 but St. Johnstone are winning 2-1 and Dunfermline are drawing 1-1. Last 2 minutes and both Thistle and Livi score and I would win the league if things stayed the same. However, they didn't, St. J scored in the 93rd minute and finished top. :mecha-anguish: :mecha-anguish: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
