CM 01/02.... Hows it goin?

[DuffFutureofIreland]

Is your squad starting to get unhappy & your board ridiculous?

I won EPL 5 years straight and Champion's League the past 2 years, but I just had to quit. 15 games into the season, I was in 2nd place, 2 points back with a game in hand, and 12 players on the team "lost confidence" in the manager. Note that at the time of this occurring, my team had already advanced into 2nd Round of CL (after winning all 6 games in the first round!), had won its first 2 games in League Cup, and had won Supercup.

I then won 5 straight games, including the Intercontinental Cup and another Champion's League match, to move into first place in EPL. However, those 12 players were still unhappy, plus about 7 more players joined them because they were worried about "team harmony."

With 19 unhappy players, my squad no longer could perform well and I drew two straight matches. At which time another 6 players got unhappy.

I quit. The whole thing was too absurd. Let's face it, if Sir Alex Ferguson were held to my standards, he would have had his butt wheeled out of town years ago.


No i only have a couple unhappy players cause they can't adjust to Italian lifestyle. With about 10 games left i was 3 points behind AC and Raul and a couple other guys were unhappy with the harmony but when i got back on top it was ok. Though i had to sell Toldo and Frey because they were unhappy, I have Franco Costanzo in goals so it doesn't really matter....

Found a couple new players I had never seen before.

Emil Debski(dalum) FRC, Charlton bought him at 16 for around €400,000, 3 seasons later Man U spent €18,000,000 on him and scores the whole time.

Lee Sefton(Chester City) AMLC, Man U bought him off Chelsea for €16,500,000 and and 9 MoM in 16 games, 11 goals and 9 assists. BUT in my other games he is crap and is not always in the same position.

Justin Georcelin(Northampton Town) Ipswich bought him for about €2,000,000 off Northampton and after 1 season I spent €20,000,000 to take him to the San Siro, I have to switch Adriano and Raul so that this guy can play. I have edited Adriano to be better than he normally is in the game because he was useless.

Debski & Georcelin were both excellent in my last game. Never heard of Sefton before. Those are spectacular stats.

FYI, for the first time in my CM history I had a truly world class striker before quitting last game, a 27 year old Italian regen named "Carlo Grossi." Last year, he was Forward of the Year in Europe; this year, he had 16 goals in 17 games with an 8.11 average (!).

Never had one like that before and almost certainly would not have been able to keep him, since the Board wouldn't let me spend more than 40,000 pounds weekly on wages and that guy is worth the maximum. But a moot point anyway, since the whole team went Unhappy on me.

2014 World Cup Final -

Brazil 1, U.S. 0

Very strange. The U.S. has always been crap in 01/02, only a handful of players who would be of interest to a good Euro squad. I've never seen them even advance to second round of World Cup before.

Project 2014?
