So we sold one of our best attackers and bought no one.

I genuinely don't get how we're so successful with this transfer policy.

We have reached that strange time in a CM01/02 run, where, almost a decade after the game started, most of the big stars have started to retire and the new marquee signings are players who were 16 years old in 2001 and who Eidos thought might make it big, or the RNG was kind to.

Sold 2 bought 1, my club is so underwhelming
You beat me - sold one bought a cheaper one. But at least I bought someone this window last summer I just sold.

Was there not a way of editing it so that more than 1 team is promoted from the Conference every year?

Dennis Rommedahl sneaking in there I’ve just noticed. Must be knocking on a bit there by now though.

Most of my signings sound like proper awesome foreigners.

FA Manager of the Year

In real life, SAF announced he'd be retiring at the end of 01/02 - he then changed his mind, but the game was already out by then. So in CM0102, Sir Alex retires after one season.

He is almost always replaced by David O'Leary, who in reality went on to do feck all at Aston Villa.

This annoys me so much I've started editing the game files to remove SAF's retirement flag.

The editor I use doesn't doesn't have that option. I tried replacing the teams manually but it fecked up the save file for some reason.

You've suffered enoug, so I can tell you by christmas you're doing very well. But a feck up is always possible I guess.

Sometimes when I pick Arsenal United just gets Wenger instead of O'Leary.

Not a single transfer. This is a piss-take!! :lol:
Worst thing is I got excited over new transfers then I realized these were18months worth so I already knew we’d signed the players listed as new:D

Will my fellow board members not realize they need to spend money now and not when we’re bottom

Again promising, but I was In automatic promotion spots once with 7 or 8 games to go and missed the play offs so there’s no chickens being counted here.

You got 19 new players, but they were all 5M or under, so they probably didn't make it to the list.
Great. 19 Conference level players.

I swear, my team is only there to make other caf teams less depressed.
