I'm in my 13th season and have just lifted the European Cup, Fa Cup and premier leauge in one season   . The county ground is now a 55,800 fortress with gates of 45,000 except when Manchester United are in town, even though there relgation battlers nowadays. For some reason now i'm great i'm bored

got oxford from div3 to prem in 4 seasons (2 seasons in div3), then left at the start of our first season in the prem for chelski. have just won the league in my first season, scoring over 100 goals and getting about 96 points. in the uefa cup final and the fa semi is my next match, 1st div spurs so that one's a dead cert victory for me.

oxford are about 11th in the prem in their 1st season.

Playing FM as Wycombe post patch. It's quite hard work, but I'm in my 2nd season and I'm pretty sure next year I'll go up. Starting a new game after the patch is apparently much harder because so many people complained that the original was far too easy.

I found it pretty tough actually, much harder than the earlier versions. Although it was a piece of piss with some tactics I downloaded, but I wanted to play a standard 4-4-2.

[strooood]

much harder than the demo. i was top at xmas by 5 points in the demo. but i spose they make it easier so tyou enjoy it more and buy it.

anyway, first season looked like i was going well but lost parkin and rhys.
the infamous first summer or free transfers i got some beautys but sort of over signed  

clayton ince
jeff whitley
frank sinclair
steffen freund
wade elliot
dani rodrigues
george ndah
mark burchill.

and a few more i cant remember. a few too many strikers and im selling quite a few at the moment. leaking goals for fun because i didnt have anyone who could header outside the 2 centre halfs. signed carl cort for 100k to counter that , and his partnership with dani rodrigues is blossoming. second season about 7th, just beaten oxford 3-0 away at the kasstad. i set my keeper to roll it out and pass it short but he still boots it in the air and the opponents win it and build an attack

Haven't played FM for ages...

I got promoted via PO's in first season, and I'm sat mid table half way through the next in the Championship, sold Fallon for a cool 3mill

[Piemonte]

Things are going well for me as Swindon Boss in my first game, I'm top after 13 games.

Playing 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 depending on opponents and personel and its all good

Played 3 and a bit seasons. Won the play offs as Wycombe in my third year and then took over at Crewe (also in League 1) as they had £7m to spend. I've spent about a mill which isn't a lot when you consider there weren't any DRs, DLs, AMRs and AMLs, and in mid table in Sept or Oct.
