The Why Bother Trying Pic

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/zkqu5EzAhxFxdC1QT2US5EsMvwz5keJYmI2hbV4n.png

As mentioned in the description back in 2008 i had what is probably my best ever save with Hearts, think i lasted 8 seasons and made them a real top team not just in Scotland, but we were pretty strong in Europe too. I went back there again in 2012 but buggered up the save and could never be bothered to again (2013 i rarely even played the game).

So here i am again trying to at least make them some sort of force in Scotland. Obviously this time around its gonna be very difficult, we have no money and even if did being in administration means we can't sign anybody, which is a bit of a problem seeing as the squad looks absolute shite. And no, there isn't any great youngsters in the youth teams either like in the past to bale me out. So its just me and them against the world, well Scotland anyway...

I'll post updates as and when really, any big news will be shared but it'll mostly just be monthly results and me moaning about the team/game and blaming everything else apart from my crapness at the clubs failure. I really am that bad at this game we'll probably end the season on -16pts ffs.

No

I've also found out i can't reject any offers for my players, even loans. So cannot wait for the window to close to see what i've got left, luckily there isn't much quality in the team to attract clubs to them.

Thanks all for looking in

Just reached the end of August but will post up the results tomorrow as the screenshot buggered up and didn't realise until i closed the game just now. Still not allowed to sign anyone, though i can reject offers now. Had my best center back sold, i play 3 at the back and only had 3 in the first place ffs, so not great when you can't even replace him with anyone

We have no reserve players and just a few U19's, there one center back in there but he's not very good. Managed to sign someone on a free (was the best of players interested) just to make the numbers. Still can't buy or loan anyone though.

Have to say its been a better than expected start, shame about the home games but away we've stupidly lucky, sorry good. Will be nice to get those -15pts out of the way. All players leaving were out of my hands, though i did manage to cancel the Dale Carrick loan after just 5 games and get him back with us to boost the numbers as only have 2 out and out strikers. Celtic up next...

In fairness, in 2008 you did have Duffy supporting you right? Anyway, that's a great start, will feel better once you're not in minus points and start clawing back the deficit.

Promising start to the campaign chum and it's good to get a few wins on the board early.

Think he is still a member on here but i don't think he visits anymore, certainly doesn't post. Iirc he started working or going Uni and was really on MSN anymore so we never really spoke anymore. Do have him on Facebook though once again he never seems to use it and after just looking it appears it was his birthday yesterday

Well that couldn't have gone any worse, totally outplayed in every match, even the cup win was lucky. We are now 13pts adrift of safety and i'm not too confident of things getting any better.

A mixed month but we're now just 2pts away from our season start! A change of formation has seen us play superbly and both defeats were very unlucky, the cup game was decided by a 122nd minute penalty ffs.

You'll probably need a season or two to sort that mess out.

Once you've done that I've faith you'll do well at Hearts.

Yeah i've had that since the start just didn't know what difference the age makes.

Things are slowly starting to turn around (mainly due to me playing Paterson up front) and we are now so close to clawing ourselves of the bottom.

My most satisfying win so far, though it was in the cup.

Well we done it, despite starting with a -15pt deduction we still avoided relegation, add to that our great run in the cup it turned into a very good season. We're also in the Europa League next season too \o/ Board expectations have increased dramatically though, we're now expected to qualify for Europe in the league (top 3) which i think is maybe a little too soon. I have a £1m budget but have only been looking at free transfers and using that budget towards player salaries instead of actual fees.
