Default Success - Hard to come by?

Depending on who you are of course.

People say this game is 'too hard'. I thought if people post how they are doing and what they have/have not won we could see whether the game really is too hard, or whether it is just the odd person making a fuss.

What team are you?

What year is it?

What has happened - ie. Wins/Relegations/Sackings etc.

I tend to lose patience when I lose even one game, and get angry. I just thought it'd be interesting to see whats happening

- I am currently Newcastle
- Mid-Way through 2008/2009
- I havent had much success, though UEFA Cup Qualification and FA Cup Semi-Final was enough to keep Owen and Martins content.

Thanks !

No long term games really but here goes:

1/ Rangers for 2 seasons 2007-2009
Won only 1 legue cup, contract wasn't renewed.
Moved to Portsmouth 2009/2010, got them to 6th and a Euro place. Just started 2010/11 season. Not too bad over-all.

2/ Kettering, 5 games into 2008/09
Won Blue Square North, did ok in cups in 2007/08
3 wins 2 losses so far in Blue Square Premier. I hope this is my career game.

3/ Spurs.
zero success, sacked in Feb. 2008 in 17th place
Went to Atletico in Spain, got them from 13th to 5th in 13 matches and a Euro place. Losing interest and probably won't go back to it.

4/ Spurs. Online Clan game, a chance to redeem myself.
In Feb. 2008, I'm 7th and won the League Cup. Hopefully I can get to 6th and a Euro Place through the league(the board only asked for top half, but in the confidence screen it says Europe )

Very up and down for me, no over-whelming success yet, but I haven't played as a European Superpower yet or played any 1 game for a long period of time.

Game isn't too hard imo, just the right balance.

I find success very difficult to come by. On my long term games, I like to start lower-league, but with one of the richer clubs, which gives me a good start.

But yes, I don't tend to find success very often.

Im in 2011 with Tranmere, keep getting to the play-off final and choking. I'nm always odds on to win the league and always have a bad patch around April; the month i'm in now, meaning I slip down the table.
My parent club Man United means I always get good wingers and defenders each year though. My new chairman/consortium has invested in the training and youth facilites meaning my players' stats are going up abit more and i'm 1st.

On previous versions I could never get Tranmere to do well (i am pretty crap :p) so this has been a decent one for me considering.
