I know we all have our own pet annoyances in the game but how about a thread about what makes us keep coming back? The little things that put a smile on our face while playing.

I'll go first. I love it when my $SenileScout finally unearth a gem in the middle of all the @#$! he comes up with. Some young player that develop well, helps you achieve something (midtable? ) for a couple of years then you get to sell him and have financial security for another couple of years.

p.s. I noticed that English proficency is considered paramount here so please accept my apologies beforehand for my poor spelling, grammar and style.

The fact that when I was at Lanzarote, the only teams whiched loaned any of my players were Tenerife and Las Palmas.

Canary Islands Mafia!

Winning a match. Finally winning a match. That makes me happy, happy, happy. So I keep coming back for a repetition of that.

But it rarely happens, that I win a match.

In fact, it almost never happens

Because this game cheats, which is really REALLY getting my... oh, hang on :o

Signing an aging and forgotton star whose career can be followed down through the leagues to where they've ended up: with you. I've always rather enjoyed this a sign that a player is playing because he loves the game and not the money.

Signing a 17year-old on a free transfer and selling him 2 years later for £1.1million plus a 50% sell-on clause while still in the Serie C2

Ah, there are 5 replies to the thread and 2 of them mention something annoying in the game.
We have to add 'being able to whinge about the game' as one of the enjoyable parts in it

Having never ending dreams of taking Limerick into the Champions League group stages.

Telling the chairman where to stick his offer of a new contract if he's not giving me a 100% increase in transfer budget, wages and my salary. And then the joys of finding a new job.

I've just done that ... or at least I thought I had.

Playing in the Conference and signed a 32 year old ex-international striker on a free, and paying him £2,000 grand a week (we needed some experience up front, most of our other strikers still being in nappies).

After 9 goals in his first eleven games, the bugger's been recalled to the Jockland international team (after two years in the wilderness) and now he wants a new and improved contract

TOTALPACKAGE

Selling a player for a realistic, yet high value for a higher league club, then signing the player back one season later, for bullocks.

And receiving 25% of what you paid for him.
