Playing as Celtic, because I'm bored, and a scouting report came back for a guy named Calum Davenport. The guy is 26 and decently good and doesn't have a team. Then I notice that he is unavailable to play due to medical reasons until 1.1.2011. So I wiki'd him and it turns out the guy was stabbed repeatedly in the legs and lost 50% of his blood.

I am playing against Wolves right now and Davenport actually just got carded for an elbow

Started at Guingamp, won Ligue 2 in my first season by 7 points, decided to resign and move on since 2/3 of my goals came from loan Strikers (Yannis Tafer and Sebatsien Grax).

Got hired by a relegated Portsmouth for season 2. In ruin, I made some massive overhauls, signing Joe Hart (GK), Milan Stepanov (DL), Ever Banega (MC), Vlatislav Lokvenc (FC), and Rivaldo (FC) while bringing in Amine Linganzi on loan. Took a few games to mesh, but mixing in the veterans Lokvenc and Rivaldo on a rotation with speedster John Utaka is starting to provide some nice results.

Just finished my season at Portsmouth, going to resign in search of a better job, left their cupboard dry, but I got them back to the Prem, so they can eat a dick. Also, got them 111 points in the Championship with old farts like Rivaldo.

Edit-I'm seen as an ideal candidate to run Real Madrid, apparently, doubt I'll get an offer though.

Career stats:

61% wins
243 Goals
158 Conceded

Picked Bayer 04 Leverkusen after they finished 8th in the Bundesliga. They had a nice young core which I decided to build around, although this season's regulars are ridiuculous due to the 33.6 million I had for transfers, with another 33 million added on from the sale of Barnetta.

My starters as of right now are geared towards a fluid, Brazilian offensive tactic:

---------Helmes----Mouche--------------
----Renato Augusto---Kroos---Adu
------------------------------------------
--Kadlec-----Vidal--------Schwabb
------Reinhartz--------Sinkiewicz-----
---------------Adler--------------

Including the money I am going to paying off in transfer fees over the next 36-48 months, I'd say that lineup cost me around 60 million euros, but I don't think it has any chance of being stopped outside of Bayern.

<3 sniping Brazilian talent.

Got offered the AC Milan post in mid-season, but decided to stay at Bayer 04 because I want to see how I hold up in the UEFA next year.

Here's a summary of my first season at Leverkusen:

-Won the Bundesliga by four points over Wolfsburg, also won the German Cup, yet my co-efficient dropped and I fell nearly 20 spots in the world rankings to the mid-70s. Still qualified for UEFA Champion's League as a 4th seed.

-Due to a drop in co-efficient I decided to restructure the personnel yet again, moving in were Altidore, Buonanotte, and a few journeymen for rotational duty. Ended up spending 40 million roughly in the off-season. Also sold Patrick Helmes for 22.5 million euros.

New Starters are:

------Altidore----Mouche-------
--Augusto--Kroos--Buon--------
---------------------------------
Kadlec----Annan--Schwaab------
-----Sinkiewicz----Reinartz------
---------Adler---------------

Also got offered the Liverpool post, but they were looking pretty putrid.

-Just drew into my Champions' Stage: Arsenal, CSKA Moscow, Celtic, and us.

[Lanteri]

Got bored pretty quickly with Man U (unsurprisingly).

I started over with Blackpool.

Made two signings: Robert Snodgrass from Leeds for 4m, and Amr Zaki from Zamalek, also for 4m.
Brought in CM - Glenn Whelan on loan to cover for Southern while he recovers from his injury, due back anywhere from 7 weeks to 3 months.

I'm running a 4-4-2 this time around.

----------Zaki -----Taylor-Fletcher----------
Vaughan---Adam---Whelan-------Snodgrass
Crainey----Evatt---John-Baptiste---Eardley
----------------Rachubka--------------------

I'm a little bit undecided on who my #1 keeper is going to be. I'm leaning towards Rachubka, but it's close between him and Gilks.

Probably should look into transfer listing Dekel Keinan since Zaki hates Jews and all, but he'll have to suck it up.

[calgaryballer]

Whelan is a decent CM, surprised Stoke let him go. When I play as Stoke, I find he's a great rotation midfielder

[1ke]

whens the new one come out?

[calgaryballer]

1 month and 5 days according to Steam

[Pitty]

Qualified for the Champion's League Knockout round with a 3-0 win over Celtic.

[Fappin Raptor]

Just had this terribly one sided MLS game. I'm LA and this was in the US Cup.



FINAL SCORE:

 

I think it had more to do with me being away more than anything.

[Pitty]

Lol.
