I think your teams rep will rise with continuing success. Hang in there!!

Stadium's becoming bigger, with the latest exapnsion it's up to nearly 40,000 plus excited because I signed with Toronto as an affiliate so that'll bring more money in.

IMO the game loses a lot when you manage someone you have no passion for.

Also one of the big reasons I may stay at Wigan is I have my coaching staff at 5* in everything both senior and youth level and want to see how the youth team and the younger players I brought in develop.

I'm also thinking of doing one season were I manage the reserves and youth team and take those jobs out of the hands of my assistant and youth coach.

Yes
Almost anyone will play anyone
But to keep it realistic you need to find when teams in your continent are scheduling friendlies and try and do it at the same time
Otheriwise you could have an international match 2 months of the either side of another international match

Most of the time I just get a international job when im burnt out and want to sit back and view the world of football pass by while I check out players and teams and watch interesting matches

I only tried my hand at managing an international team back before the game went 2D. Was with France but I didn't have that nation selected when I started the game so barely had enough players to get a team together! I also had a great job at Coventry at the same time so I didn't get bored. I didn't stick with France for long though.

Can you not keep your club job when you take an international post these days?

Dont think so
Would not that be collusion anyways?
If I was say managing Germany and coaching Bayern I would play Klose until his legs fell off just to screw over Bremen

It's certainly the worst game I've ever read a summary for. I can't comprehend how Fulham can manage to not fashion a single shot on goal against Wigan (no offense) but take the game to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and Man Utd. at the Cottage recently. I suppose it's always easier to play hard against a local rival or a top team like Man Utd. but 0 shots on goal is pretty damn pathetic.

You can be both a club manager and int'l manager in FM2006 ... not sure about 2007. IRL an example of someone who did double time was Guus Hiddink, who was Australia manager while he headed a team in the Dutch Eredivisie ... PSV, I think.

If the English teams cut prices and payroll, won't that just result in a mass migration of the best players to Italy and Spain? Do you think Thierry Henry or Cristian Ronaldo would play in England if they weren't well paid?

rudel.dietrich · 03-22-2007, 08:41 AM

How did you get Toronto in FM 2007?
Did you do a database edit?

Their only cutting ticket prices not payroll, Premier league clubs next season get a massive boost in payments with the worst team in the Premiership being able to getting in the region of £40,000,000 thats why this season more than any it's more important to stay/get in the Premiership.
