FM 09 General chat

I'm getting rather good at grinding out the narrow wins.

Was 1-1 against Huddersfield until the very last minute when Tudgay won it for me.

 

thanks mate

 

i am officialy going up , i beat plymouth 4-1 at home and to add to it preston got beat 3-0 away from cardiff. got to get 1 point from my next 2 games to seal 1st place , steven flethcer backs me to get a new contract , the fans and board are delighted :icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

"We are going up , We are going up"
my greatest ever acheivment in fm

 

Well done, but thats you're greatest achievement?

 

yes , my best before that is gettin celtic in the last 16 of the cl.

 

mika aaritalo just scored a last minute goal to give me my opening day win vs leicester

 

Looks like I will be leaving Leeds then.

 

Why?

 

thats me top spot in the championhsip , 2-2 draw awy to qpr , now into my last game of the season , birmingham at home.

 

I said i'd leave if I don't take them up and I'm already having my doubts.

 

Keep the faith, how many fixtures do you have 'till the end?

 

Plenty, 31 in fact. I'm 4th.

But it's not even that. Things have just stagnated really.

 

Just keep going 'till the end. Maybe you get lucky now after few unsuccessful seasons. If you don't get promoted this time, then really consider giving up.

 

any one else not getting bored of this game?

 

Not bad for a season finale:


I finished 14th in the end, surprised at that, I was 17th before the last game, I've held to 17th since round 17, so for like 20 matches and then all of a sudden ended up 14th. Staying up was never really in doubt, finished 20 points ahead of the 18th team.

Now to consolidate my spot in Serie A, although I might leave the team if the opportunity comes.

 

i got manager of the year and kevin doyle got top goalscorer with 34 goals in the league 39 in all competitions.i got 4 players in players team of the year

I've just taken a job as manager of Belarus. Hopefully be a nice distraction.

I'm thinking about leaving Leeds if an interesting job comes up. Still sitting 4th.
