The Noel Lopez paradox. Noel Lopez has been with me from the beggining, hes been a talisman for my success and is in the clubs favoured personnel now and rightly so, he deserves a statue he helped deliver a title. But he wants to leave, hes been unse...
Our Season with our new signings was a season like no other. We start with another positive yet again, we retained our Copa Del Rey, we used it this season to give our youth prospects games often playing the full team filled with our youth play...
The big players we let go meant that we had money to spend for the first time in my career at Coruna and had the chance to freshen up the squad! First off was the Yeboah replacement - Roko Simicic Roko was a player id never seen before in my Foo...
The summer of Change!!! This Summer was huge for the club. We had one Champions League campaign under our belt, a Copa Del Rey and a 3rd Place finish to boot. We now needed to take the next huge leap in terms of bolstering our squad however some play...
Our new signings were able to meld in with our existing core group of players and they combined for an exciting campaign that ended up with some silverware, an improved league position but also some humble humiliation at the hands of the big boys. &n...
We then moved into our next season in dire need of improvement and to bolster our squad so once again we dipped into the free transfer market and specifically to Liverpool's released players. Neco Williams was one i was shocked to see on...
What a season this would be, this was one of the most memorable seasons ive ever had. We were good throughout the season and had played great in parts and poorly in other parts. However it all came down to the last day of the season. We were 6t...
After a succesful first campaign in the spanish first division we needed to then take our next step forward however yet again we werent offered the financial muscle we pined after. Our transfer budget ultimately remained the same therefore we got creative...
The last point i want to make on the current season is about Noel Lopez. Noel Lopez has been with us from the very beggining, hes a young 18 year old with very average looking stats but with game time, training and quality coaching he can truly develop in...
Our first season back in the big time was a mixed bag. We finished 13th overall on 46 points which is a great points haul for our first season back in the big time but there were times through the season when we were close to european football. This was u...
So with promotion came the need for major reinforcements. However we never really got the transfer budget i thought that we deserved. I have to admit ive spent most of my recent years playing Premier league or Bundesliga saves were funds arent exactly har...
Lets get tactical tactical, i wanna get tactical, lets get down to tactics babe. Anyway apart from my Office reference (lets get ethical) Lets look at the tactical change that really propelled us through the spanish second division. We ha...
Our second season with the team and our first season in the Spanish Second Division was tough!! We were inconsistant at best and average for the majority of the time, that was until we decided to change formation toward the end of the season which will be...
We then move onto our second season which was a real big jump up in difficulty, the spanish second division is full again with the top teams B teams which is often stacked with their best youth players. The league is dominated by Barcelona B team and for...
So for context, i used to be really active on this site in my FM prime maybe 10 years ago or more and i havent listed or written an FM career or story in a long time but i was playing through my save and really enjoying it so thought it could be worth sha...
Reviving Deportivo La Coruna from the 3rd tier of spanish football. back to spanish champions.
Pre Season And Transfer Window.
Financial Issues:
So unbeknown to me, Fernerbache are in huge financial trouble, which actually makes this career a little more enjoyable if im honest, i wondered why theyd finished 6th the season before and hadnt won a...

When i first got into FM, it was on holiday in Turkey, and in between the hours of the pool closing and going out for family me and the other 13 year olds would gather around the P.C room and play this strange game the hotel workers had installed on the c...
The Transfer Revolution
So this has been the busiest transfer window any one team in the premier league has ever seen, with 12 people in and 8 people leaving. We didnt start the transfer window with any particular plan of action however a few weeks in i...
Like any football manager addict ive seemingly rushed through my first season and let my story fall to the side so what ive decided to do is just post the end of season results then start a fresh next season do more in depth and often results.
Results...
What a difference a month makes!!! So after seven games we were in shooting distance of a place in Europe, fast forward too January and we have had an absolutely disastrous run of form. I dont know if the all out attack tactic will continue to work and wi...
So with us reaching October its about time i did another update before i get too far ahead of myself. So lets be honest its been an absolutely fantastic start too the season and i mean fantastic. Our formation has achieved what we wanted which was a lot o...
So with one of the biggest failures in recent years being transfers and buying poorly i was determined to make sure that this did not happen under my reign once more. Now this is where things for me have been really really really challenging this year. Ea...
So to truly understand my undying love for Sunderland you need to understand the rocky start our relationship had.
