Arsenal lost to Villa, drew to Reading, West Ham and the mackems and ended up slipping into 5th!

That left me and Everton to fight out for 4th and 3rd. Everton had a harder run than me and ended up drawing to chelsea, and then losing to Villa to give us both the same points. Our superior goal differnce however settled it and my final position after the first season is:

3rd !!!!!!!

That is straight into the Champions League proper, automatic qualification


In other news I have managed to sign Riquelme on a free, but lost out to liverfool for masherano

I am however now preparing for my assault to next season. I am going to have to tweak the tactic some more (Thinking of playing with 2 DM instead of 2CM to see if that has an effect) in order to stop me conceding a shed load.

My bank balance is now £17 million, so its going to be another scrimping season - but if I can rid of 3-4 of my more over rated players (Owen, Cacapa, Rozey etc) I may be able to get some proper players for the future here

I also want to replace pearson... he has had a good season - but its more to do with the fact that he is a dick

First I might sleep though.

I've seen some of you guys with less than 650k/week wages total. How did you guys manage to cut down the wage bill so drastically?

I remember on FM 2007 I managed to get people on 65k/week down to 30k/week but I cant remember how I managed it. Do any of you guys know? I realise it's probably not THAT big of a deal, but I like to have as small a wage bill as possible. More funds and all that

Also, The last couple of times I've played a new game on FM2008 (with the beta patch if that makes a diff) I've been completely throwing away the friendly games. I'm losing 3-0, 1-0 to teams I didnt even know existed. Does anybody have an idea of what could be causing such a massive impact on my players that they lose in such games? I realise I'm not really giving any possibilities but I honestly have no idea what could be doing it. Whenever I start a game I immediately sack all of my coaches and replace them with 7star coaches (Obscure/regional/National) as low as I can get them. Is this doing it do you think? If it is, can anybody suggest any other ways I could get 7 star coaches which wouldnt have said impact?

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys

In my first season i finished 1st with Spurs coming second, However, my second season was an absolute disaster, i bought Robbie Keane and it transpired that Given, Keane, Aguero (who i purchased at the end of 1st season), geremi and ameobi all disliked Owen!!!

Then owen started to publicly state his desire to leave for a bigger club even though we had won the prem and were in the qtr finals of Champions League.

The chairman had accepted an offer at the end of the 1st season for Martins from Roma.

So i ended up losing in the semis to Roma in champions league, finishing a dissapointing 4th in second season and capitulating in the fa cup final 4-0 to chelsea.

The only weay out was to sack owen, as soon as i did that, we mounted a good run and finished 4th. but what a depressing season.
