A bit too predictable Craig

Amazing...the world is sooo big, and still there are two West Ham supporters in the same place. Who would have thought that?

Not really sure by what you mean by third party, but the only things I have ever downloaded for FM are:
- Patch 5.0.2
- Patch 5.0.5
- A West Ham skin thingy
- One other skin thingy

And I won't mention the tactics!

Cheers!

***Mid-Season UPDATE 2005/06***

Only 4 players and 2 members of staff (one being me) meant that over the preseason I had to basicly assemble a whole team. Both players and Staff. The first thing I did was brought in the first scout I could find and sent him out, then signed almost every player he came back with untill I had a large enough squad.

Unfortunately my Goalkeeper had the exact same name as my right midfielder, causing my MR to have 11 appearences in goal! :cool:

The season was a struggle right the way through. Again, the media had tipped me for relegation and I had the worst squad in the league as well as the least back-up.

One bright note was that I seemed to have discovered a true class right back who was attracting attention from the Championship. I decided to slap a £500K price tag on him and let him go if I get an offer.

A extreeme injury crisis in early to mid December gave my MR more Goalkeeping experience and left me well at the bottom of the table by Christmas.

***End of Season UPDATE 2005/06***

At the end of the last update all was looking extreemly glum for my season, but in the second half of the season my fortunes changed somewhat.

About one week into January a bidding war started for my young right back which was involving teams ranging from the League One to the Premiership. Eventually, Middlesborough came in with an offer of £450K plus £100K over 24 Months which I accepted in an instant. The transfer went through even though Arsenal came in with a late bid of £550K which was also accepted.

I used the money to offer almost all of my players new contracts with £100 scoring bonuses and clean sheet bonuses in a hope to secure my job for the next season. It worked. The players really turned on some top form which involved closing an at one point 12 point gap between us and the team above, and securing 17th place, as well as my job for another year.

By the end of the season we were still well into profits after we had started a few K in debt. I used the money to sack my current back-room staff and bring in some higher quality staff and fill in the gaps in my team.

And the Silverware:
Premiership Arsenal *YAY!*
FA Cup Arsenal
League Cup Middlesborough
Championship Middlesborough
Champions League Man Utd (Bea Arsenal in an All English Final)
UEFA Cup Parma
La Liga Barcelona

***World Cup*** Brazil
