Fantastic job here mate, cant believe how well you are doing with the blue brazil! Keep it up!

A really solid few months here at Dundee have quickly dispelled my worries after taking the job, the cup runs are a particular area of hope as i believe Celtic are already out of the league cup and so my hope for silverware at Dens Park has increased!




Its been a good month since ive played this so please excuse me if the first couple of posts back are short and disjointed, im just getting through my backlog of screenshots and progress and will add more detail when im back to present time!

Also, just a note about this career. As quite a few of you have began to realise its exetremly difficult to maintain motivation here in scotland (Ricks adventure to Latvia being evidence!) so although i plan for this to maintain SAF challenge rules, i may run off to different places if i get bored. Because i do genuinely love this save and so would like to stick with it! anyway, no one has come close to an SPL yet, perhaps its my time

id take it but ive left Morton before and regretted it...so its upto you

aww unlucky for your time at Rangers but good luck at Skonto! I love the latvian league from past Fms and i think you will be pleasently surprised by it

congrats dude, awesome season!!

Good luck dude! Last time i did a Shakktar game they had crazy amounts of sponser money every year that makes them rather interesting. if they are the same on this i expect you to do well and really enjoy it!

youve done really well here dude, good luck in the SPL!

great start dude, Morton were a good little side on mine but if you keep those pre season results up you will storm the league!

Love portugal so will be following for sure, good luck

i'm presuming that i am the inspiration for choosing Morton then dude?

Doing well dude, its nice to see a career in the big time every now n then! KIU!

Surely you cant blow it again this year in the league

good luck man!

Thanks mate, yeah i know but i like a challenge!

Also a little note, i will be coming back to this shortly,im working on a game myself for a small indie company and its had to find FM time atm

Fantastic season mate, good luck for next year!

a friend of mine starting a liverpool one and the best success he has had is as follows:

Play a 4-5-1 (This allows you use the natural strengths of Lucas in DM, Coutinho as LW, Suarez or sturridge as Inside Forwards on RW and the other upfront. With gerard, shelvey, allen and Henderson in CM you are well covered and defensively you are also pretty solid! Hope this helps

good luck dude!

Good luck at Hamilton dude! Good club!

Cheers man, yeah im planning on making them my SPL conquering team. Long term i want to win the SPL, Scottish cup, League Cup and Europa before i move south!

So welcome to Dundee! First things first let me explain my decision to leave Morton. The main reason if i am honest was a blind panic at the truly awful team that i had constructed in haste with looming fixtures and failing finances. I could of stayed and kept them up but it would be a good 3 seasons before id have been even ready for a cup run.

Secondly i felt moving to a slightly more established club with a few fierce SPL rivals would aid me financially in my quest to build a strong scottish club. Yes, you heard me, im planning to WIN THE SPL with this side.

Lastly, i do have abit of a soft spot for them, i know thats strange but its one of the few SPL sides i actually like and i think that counts for alot!.

Right back to the game....

The squad itself isnt actually too bad, just missing a few key areas. Mainly GK and CB. Unfortunatly i had 2 days left of the transfer window so i had to add old.

I present to you the BEAST Brian Jensen and former Irish international Damien Delaney.





Even at there ages they are still good players.

Dundee are 14 games without a win too, so my first game being a Dundee Derby and a trip to Morton... so how did i do?


Solid, really solid. And something else thats interesting.... Celtic were knocked out of the League Cup by Hearts. Could i achieve safety and silverware? Watch this space...

Cheers mate, clearly Morton = greatness haha





Awful, Truly Awful. THis may be the worst start to a season i have ever had. The drubbings at the hands of St Mirren and Queen of the South have me seriously worried and then i received this...



The team below me but a bigger club, that ive always liked and a 3 year deal to build a foundation... but what did i do?

congrats on the takeover dude and an awesome first season!!

good luck dude

good luck dude

good luck dude!

A very frustrating pre season. Its proven nearly impossible for me to bring domestic players in with my budget of £0 and wage of only £16k. So ive had to go foreign. Struggled alot for a CB but eventually found enough cover. Below are my highlights:




I wont lie i am really fearing for this season. Barely had time for friendlies let alone for team bonding. My aim for the end of this season is to be at a much stronger SPL side. Well thats get this long hard season started....

Ta man, given the choice ill jump ship due to the finances here but we shall see what comes up. Really dont fancy that many teams tbh. i have my eye on Dundee tbh but i guess there not a huge step up haha

A truly unbelievable season. To have achieved a promotion on the budget and injury issues that ive had is a big big achievement and i am genuinely proud to have done it! Of course its my players that got us promoted and here is my end of year squad.





I won the First division Manager Of the Year Award to add a massive 75 points to my SAF challenge.



David O'Brien won player of the year to add another 25 points.


SO overall it was good season.

BUT

ive already had a hammer blow to my first season in the SPL...


Thats a lot of money for a team like mine. *sigh* i better get used to this i guess!

Ill be doing a pre season report too but during the summer i have the following things to think about:

• New job - i wont lie the under soil heating is the last straw, if a decent SPL job comes up, ill probably take it.
• Buy Buy Buy! - i need to somehow find the funds for 2x CB, RB, DM, CM, AMR and a ST. Not to mention a sub GK.
• Long Term Staff - i want to start thinking about staff that i want to take throughout my career to add to the character of it. At the moment i have Winston Bogarde on my team and id like to take him wherever i go. Mainly due to his knowledge of world football really helping me in the transfer market.

So thats season one completed, thank you to everyone who has been reading and commenting, i really appreciate it!

See you in the SPL

Awesome start mate. looks like youve built a really strong side!! KIU!

Thanks man, i wont lie fingers nails were bitten in this last month!



So i need 4 points from 2 games.... how did i do?



My end of season post will be up soon
