Goodbye FM 2008! Unrealistic, and a waste of time... Ruined a perfect series!
Having spent hours upon hours of playing FM 2008, I have decided to stop playing.
I managed to take Notts County from League 2, to the Premier League within 7 years.
Unfortunately, my team was not good enough, and we got relegated in our first season in the Premier League.
Having managed to increase the balance from 0k in the first season to £30 million by season 8, I managed to get fired for getting relegated from the Premiership!
I had the same chairman from day 1, the fans loved me, the financial status of the club was secure, and I managed to win the clubs first trophy in the League Cup!
This has to be a bug, and now I have lost all interest.
I have started playing Championship Manager (and I hope this is more realistic).
In addition I have had to use in FM the most unrealistic tactics I have ever seen (I am a qualified UEFA B coach) and I assure you that the more ridiculous the formation is, the more success you get, even though they have major flawes in reality.
Cheers Sega for screwing up a perfectly good game!

Silly Notts County fans!!!! they don't know what they are talking about!!!
Maybe if they started talking some sense they would not be fighting a relegation battle in LGE2!!
They are jealous of us FOREST fans on the good side of the river trent. UEFA coaching B badge, mayB you should manage county, but the again you wud not do that well with no money, crap players (especially the strikers) and a simply laughable fan base!!!!!!!!
YOU REDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! :thup:

Whereas Forest are so successful at the moment. Leading the third division is like arguing on the internet, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose because nobody actually cares.
Fwiw, the original poster does have a bit of a point, but its been made several times in other threads, and I don't really see CM being any better.

I can see his point (about getting sacked not playing CM). He has taken his club to heights.
One bad season and he's out of a job. This may be the case at some clubs that are used to success (eg. Real Madrid or other high rep clubs) but as a manager of Notts Cty he would still be treated like a god after all that he's achieved.
He clearly deserves another season to win promotion back. This needs sorted.
