Oh, by the way, the Scottish FA was soo desperate for a NT Manager, they asked me to take the reins so on 1 July 2007, I accept. That means two things regarding the Season 3 update.

First, I get the kilted wonders INTO the Euro Championships by beating Azerbaijan, Poland and Lithuania, whilst losing to SPain and Belgium.

Second, I was the manager of Scotland when England hung the 4:0 beating on them.


Of course for the WC QUalifiers, I get England in my group again!!!!

Also Greece, Israel, Faroe Islands, and Estonia.

Nice start to a thread - liking it already.

Can I just check something though - you're in the Conference National and Scotland offered you the job?! They want you to lead them to the World Cup?!

Bloody hell - they really are beyond all hope aren't they?

Fair comment, conference national manager getting offered a naional job... a bit, say pushing the bounds of realism...

It is Scotland though

Yeah, but its a game. Its MY game. If the AI of FM is THAT Artificial I'm going to try it. Ive been playing this game since 01/02 came out. Its the first time Ive ever tried an International job. And I wanted to be sure that the job I got was for a country that was loaded into the game, and not, say, Thailand.

SI really need to fix the AI regarding the Scotchland job in the next iteration, they're not that desperate.

Midseason Report Season 4- Maidenhead currently 11th Place Conf Nqational

Only 3 points clear of the drop in the Conference National, Mansfield come calling right after Christmas. They offer me 550 per week--ALOT more than the 95 per week I'm making at the time. But with a wage bill way over the top and no money for transfers, I turn them down despite the fact they are professional and have much better facilities. But after the New Year, I get 2 very enticing offers: Mid-Table Seria B Cesena offer me 1100/wk and a transfer budget of 1.6 Million. But Dunfermline Athletic in the land of Kilts Division 1 offer me 2900/week and a transfer budget of 700,000. They're about 15000/month in the red on salaries, so that needs to come down. Despite that, I decide to take the offer and move North. (In all the years I'v played this game, its the first time I move out of England) I leave Maidenhead in 11th place and turning a profit of about 15,000/month.
Dunfermline are barely above the drop, so my work is cut out for me but I'll see what I can do for them.

Would never see a Conference manager managing the jocks. Not even they are that desperate. Three seasons managing Maidenhead would not get you the job.

I've now lost all interest in this thread.
