FM19 thread

So in my first season I ended up finishing second in the Premier League w/ Manchester City, seven points behind champions Arsenal but we did manage to win both the League Cup and FA Cup though but failed in the Champions League, losing in the first knockout round to Real Madrid.

Second season and I've spent a staggering £432m in attempting to win the Premier League crown - Hector Bellerin (£100m), Nabil Fekir (£70m), Benjamin Pavard (£31.5), Jordan Pickford (£60m), David Alaba (£80m), Timo Werner (£50m) and Santiago Ashacibar (£40m) all joined the club. Gavin Bazunu joined from Shamrock Rovers but that transfer was already pre-arranged. Out and it was time to say goodbye to Gabriel Jesus (£90m to Chelsea), Ederson (£67m to Arsenal), Danilo (£30m to PSG), Fernandino (£25m to Barcelona), Patrick Roberts (£15m to Crystal Palace) and Marlos Moreno (£11.5m to Gladbach) while a few others left for either peanuts or on loan deals.

At the beginning of November we find ourselves in fourth place and five points off the pace but still in the League Cup and doing inconsistent in the Champions League group stages.

In that case I might boot this up tonight and crack on with my first Blackpool save of the series!

If I don't beat Huddersfield at home then I'm being sacked as Manchester City manager.

EDIT: Ended up winning the game 3-0 so I've kept my job . . . for now.

I've noticed that Shouts seem to be more prevalent in this series, at least more so than I have noticed before.

Some good news as I get towards the end of pre-season with Blackpool, the Oystons are gone! No new money in but at least it's something.

For the second time this season I'm being threatened with the sack and deservedly so because we are 8th after 29 games and well out of the title race.

I need to pick up 11 points from the next 5 games and with fixtures against Chelsea (H), Tottenham (A), Stoke (H), Arsenal (H) and Newcastle (H) I think my time at the Etihad is coming to an end. This season has been absolute horrible. Out of the Champions League at the group stages, 8th in the Premier League, out of the League Cup at the QF stage, out of the FA Cup in the third round and possibly could be out of the Europa League in the second knockout round.

It's been brutal. I spent £432m on attempting to make the squad stronger and somehow they've become worse.

EDIT: Lasted 2 games and now I've been sacked. We drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea but then Tottenham beat me 1-0 and I'm unemployed.

Stupid game. I want to go back to FM18.
