In typical fashion, Caca starts the season doing what he does best - scoring goals in bunches. He hits Chelsea for 5 goals and assists on the other goal scored. Ridiculous.

great story!!!
but i've got 3 questions
1.what year does CACA come into the game?
2.what year does HASSELBAINK come into the game?
3.can you show me the Nottingham Forest squad plz
I haven't been offered too many jobs in my career, and at this point I don't think I'd leave Newport County for another Premier League team.

With Leroy Fer starting to show signs of age, I decided it was time to bring in his long term replacement. Fer now moves to a substitute role and Daniel Maglione moves on a transfer after never quite reaching his potential with us.


Wow, nice comment, never seen it before, I guess that my coaching skills never "had time" to develop as I was playing for 5 seasons most..usually after winning everything it was getting boring :). Good to see that you are still on it, how did you motivate yourself to get this far? :o

Newport County was the first English team that I picked to coach when I started playing FM09. That's made them my sentimental favorite every time a new FM game comes out. :) With FM11 I wanted to finally dedicate enough time to get them to the Premier League, and now that I have and had the success that comes with it, I just keep plugging away as the seasons go on.

Things are definitely getting boring because I don't have to do much during games to ensure a victory, and my current motivation is to get Newport's stadium expanded to at least 90k to rival Wembley. That, and I want to get all of my facilities to the top levels (corporate facilities are already there) and see if I can create a football factory that supplies a bunch of players to the English national team.

There haven't been too many teams that I'd consider a thorn in my side, but Man U is close. They were more torublesome when Ian Goodison was at the helm and he operated a 532 that gave me absolute fits.

Only needing 3 points, we had a chance to retain the Premier League crown outright with a win over Bolton. We could only muster a lazy draw against them, however, so it wasn't until almost 2 weeks later that we clinched the division after Chelsea lost vs Aston Villa.

Whats your reputation with fans? You hit legend status yet?
# Evo : Whats your reputation with fans? You hit legend status yet?

I'm currently an icon. I'm thinking that one or two more seasons should be enough to put me into legend status with the team. :) Caca is there already.
With only three games remaining, this is not the news I wanted to see. We're on the verge of going undefeated through Premier League play with only Tottenham left on the schedule. We also have two games versus Liverpool - one game for the FA Cup and one game for the Champions Cup.



We will get a look into the future at keeper with Nick Bartley set to step into an absolute pressure cooker of a situation. Bartley has exceeded Joe Lewis in terms of ability since last season, but Lewis has remained my keeper because he has been unflappable in front of the net. If Bartley can survive this run of games with so much on the line, it could very well be a passing of the torch.

Test one - passed
