All of nothing is nothing, tbh.

I think in the game they should be, I've seen them lose to San Marino. Granted, it was a freak occurence, but still...

I've also seen France draw Israel. Granted, it was a freak occurrence, but still...

Oh right, that happened in real life. Shock results have nothing to do with Scotland's AI hiring practices.

Yes, because Israel drawing with France is totally comparable to a bunch of semi-pro no-hopers getting what would be their first ever international wing.

Besides, I was trying to be funny (and obviously failed miserably), lighten up people.

Yep. Absolutely unrealistic. As unrealistic as the Faroe Islands beating a team that has been 3rd and 4th at World Cups. Oh wait. That did happen IRL too.

Sheesh-lighten up. I play by the LLM rules but please people--ITS A GAME!

Made by SI. Its the best Management game out there. And if that game thinks I deserve to manage a relegation threatened Socttish DIv 1 side, then just like it thinks my stellar tactics work, I'm going to take the offer.

If FM 2007 fixes the job offer module, then next time, I won't get the offer.

With apologies to Nobby for taking the job offer........
Season 4 2008-2009 Scottish Div 1
DunFermline W 13 D8 L15 GD +6 7th Place

- players IN (0)
- player OUT (0)

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 waay 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. Not bad for my 95/week 20000 transfer budget. 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. I am able to stave off the drop, but the finances are still ka-ka (What my 2 year old calls poop). Best player is my inheirited Italian ST although my other starting Scottish ST is POTY. As I go into the off season, getting a handle on the finances seems to be a huge challenge.

2009 World Cup Qualifying-Kilts

Finished 2d in Group behind England but ahead of Finland, Estonia, Israel, and Faroe Islands.

Drew Russia for the playoff for a berth in the Finals.

First leg away: Russia 3:0 Scotland. Ugly, ugly, ugly is the only way to describe the game.

Return leg first half was very sluggish. (Jet Lag?) I changed formations replacing a midfielder with an extra attacker. Results? 5 GOALS!!!!!! Scotland win 5:3 agg to qualify for the Finals!!!!!!!!

Again the fans sign my name in praise
