      The fans bought Newcastle in mine. I would believe that if I didn't know how poorly run NUST is.

        Did not mean to groan that BH, a downside of using my phone to browse VSD

          lol, Kenwright took over as chairman of Newcastle.

          Also, for U.S. soccer fans, Landon Donovan has passed Cobi Jones as the USA's most-capped international.

            KENWRIGHT OUT! I wish someone would buy Everton in my saves but they never do.

              I hate bitching about injuries in FM... its kinda like bitching about the ref costing your favorite side a match in the real game... just an excuse... but goddamn it, you just can't avoid it sometimes.

              It would be really fucking super awesome if I could get through more than two matches in a row where I don't have to make at least one sub due to injury. What the hell is the point of having the "leave on or quick sub" pop up if it never ever not even once works? Its like a taunt from the game at this point.

              I realize injuries are part of the game. Fully accept it. But to have it in pretty much every match? Fuck that. Especially frustrating when you do everything possible to avoid injuries - spend the money on great physios, make sure not to make the training too heavy, and even avoiding buying injury-prone players. Make zero fucking difference.

                Injuries are frequent so I train heavy during the season. It seems to not matter so I might as well get the most out of it.

                  I've left Blackpool for Bilbao. (I've saved prior to taking the job so I can go back to Blackpool if I want to).

                  I love the challenge of being only able to work with Basque players.

                  My first match in charge is a huge one for the club, as it's pretty much a must-win in group play of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. We're tied with Kyiv on 8 points in 2nd place behind Bayern's 11.

                  In La Liga, we're 12th in the table with 19 points from 15 matches.

                  Most of the squad is intact from 2011. Llorente, Martinez, Iraola, Ander, Muniain, etc. are all still here.

                    Is that enforced by the game? I've never played there

                      More or less, IIRC. Players of non-Basque nationality pretty much all refuse contract negotiations, and if you have your ass man filtering out unrealistic transfers, then non-Basque players don't show up at all when you do a player search.

                      So, yes, basically.

                      Even if it didn't, I'd of course follow it.

                        Also worth noting, is that I have a £44m transfer budget. Of course, with the limited pool of players to choose from, that could prove to be not that big a deal.

                          At least you can turn that to wage money and try and hold the great players you have already

                            Schweinsteiger put the dagger in on this one. Was drawing 1-1 @ Bayern with 2 minutes to go when he scored a piledriver from 20 yards out to give them the 2-1 win.

                            Kyiv won so we're out.

                                got some good young talent here at New England, tried to get an old Iniesta but something happened when i signed him on free transfer and he never showed up lol
