In 1st Season (v8.0.0)

Walter Smith got sacked
Signed Felipe from Udinese and Omar Bravo from Chivas, both quality signings.

Into the UCL 1/4 Finals
Knocked Rangers out of the SC and LC
Lead the league by 12 pts with 9 to play

I have all my coaching categories at 6-7 stars, hard to keep at all 7's some coaches stats drop and I have a few top scouts brought in to find me talent!

Just finished my 2nd season as boss as both Celtic and Queen of the South.

Celtic won the league and Scottish cup and my young boys got papped out the league cup in the Quarters in my first season. Got to last 16 of CL. Queens got promoted on the last day of the season and made the League cup Semi. Dobbie finished with 50 goals from about 42 appearances.

2nd season I won the domestic treble and got papped out the CL in the last 16...AGAIN. Queens got papped out in the 3rd and 4th round in domestic cups but came 7th in the league (with more points than 6th place).

3rd season is looking bright for Celtic but less so for Queens, hope 2nd season syndrome in the SPL doesn't rub off on my team.

6 games to go in the SPL and Walter Smiths replacement, Adrian Boothroyd was sacked after a 3-2 defeat to me in Ibrox, HAHA.

My pc must be slow as hell , takes me ages to get through one season let alone 2 or 3

also do you guys ever choose the 'go on holiday' option ? sometimes theres like a gap of 12 days due to international games and i just go on holiday ,dont see the point of sitting continually clicking/or hitting the space bar

**Dempsey** · 01-05-2008, 03:49 PM

Mine is much quicker with FM2008 than FM2007, must be making better use of my CPU (X6800

). I run 30 playable leagues on mine too.

Never go on holiday in case i miss a potential signing or loosing a staff member

**Dempsey** · 01-05-2008, 04:02 PM

I've just won the SPL (1st season) with a 3-2 victory over Rangers in Ibrox

Omar Bravo with the winner in the 92 minute, haha

Im 10 years into my Celti career (addicted)
9/10 leagues
7/10 Scottish Cups
7/10 League Cups
Knocked out in CL qualifiers once, knocked out in groups three times, last 16 four times, and quarters -finals twice.

Basically dominated domestically and done okay in europe. I used to play high tempo attacking stuff and it worked ok. But i play short passes and patient style now (still attacking) and its loads better defensively.

One season i only lost once (to Inter in last 16 2-0 away, 0-0 at home). Won both cups and was unbeaten in the league. I am currently on a 76 match unbeaten league run.

My success came from hiring scouts from other countries and sending them to scout there (eg hiring an italian to scout in italy). And i will sogn a ton of youngsters. Just keep giving them long-term deals and i make a profit at least. All the big clubs are after some of my guys. Bought a 17 year-old italian striker (£1.9m) and sold him 2 years and 66 goals later for £19m plus 40% sell on clause.

Celtic At H3art · 03-05-2008, 03:41 PM

I'm into my 4th season now, nearing the end of actually and i am top of the league by a country mile again.
