You may have sympathy for the Canadian, if you've never been face-to-face with one. I was there. I was there in New Brunswick during the Canadian war. In the trenches. Rifle in my hand at all times. I'd heard about the horrible living conditions of the Canadians. I once felt sorry for them. Once. When they come charging over the hill, and you catch one in his beady black eye, all that sympathy goes out the window. You see him and you cannot fathom a human being to be this way. You cannot think that what is behind this person's stare is good for this earth. Maybe it was the war, maybe this is what the war does to you. Maybe there was a part of me that knew I had become the same as these Canadian creatures and they were looking at me the same way I looked at them. Maybe when I shot them I was shooting a little part of me; a projected part of my own inhumanity. Maybe I'm sick in the head. But I cannot imagine my 5 little daughters growing up in a world inhabited by the Canadian. If wanting to kill them all is my mental illness, then I don't need any psychological counseling. I already know the cure.

Come to Slovenia. My season ticket sales multiplied by 10 (as in "ten") when I finished second in the league after the previous manager barely escaped relegation. Then we doubled the stadium's capacity and since it still wasn't enough, we're also building a 10k seats stadium which capacity can be doubled. All while still paying the 2M€ debt off the previous' stadium's expansion. Thanks CL money.

I'm not sure I understand but yes, you'll have an easier time getting more important jobs, though you'll still be able to get shitty ones. And you can check on the club's page where it says "Finances", which can be Insecure, Good, Rich, etc.

"Both players were present in the database with good starting stats and a very high potential, and Maksim (spelled "Maxim Tsigalko" in the game) in particular was capable of becoming a world class player, to the degree that he is very well known amongst fans of the Football Manager series and considered one of the game's legends."

Dortmund head coach Dirk Knoop here, ready to field some questions from you budding club managers.
Let us make another discussion or two. #dontstooptheknoop
>>69047241
I love getting those comments from some conference team manager whenever I'm coaching in the PL.
>>69047270
I do not even recognise you.
But since you are here how do I become a good manager?

How is your relation with Ivica Strok?
>>69047265
no, it simply makes me uneasy when all the big moneyclubs are trying to steal my young lads, luckily I tied him down on a 5 year contract recently
Something is very wrong here.
worth 14.5m?
>>69047508
>9 games without a goal
wew
>>69047316
Hello pupil. There are, in my esteemed opinion, two routes to becoming a successful manager: the first is to be born with such skill - I will assume you were not - and the second is to strive to learn every day.
Any role in football has bumps along the way, but you must persevere. Over time, one can develop a philosophy that works for them. This approach helped me become the leading manager I am today. You may get there, but should you fail, you will surely not recognise me.
>>69047366
Hello, it warms my heart to see a Peruvian. I once lived in Peru, it's a fine land, it is really something.
To answer your question, Ivica is a top lad. I think of him as a son. I am godfather to his child.

This is not his account, but a cheap imitation. I implore you to report it.

Well he won't go until the end of the season and we're in late November. He was cheap at 200k tho', so it's not a big loss but still. It's kinda important for me to raise decent kids because of the """QUALITY""" of Slovenian youth that makes me poach left and right.

I dunno if my team is getting legit gud or if other top Euro teams are flopping.

He doesn't get called up because (apparently) the other players don't like him. Which is fine, apart from Boca fans, no one actually likes him, I don't even know where this "the People's Player" meme came from. Just because he was poor doesn't make him likable. His skills have also deteriorated since coming back.

And the player giveaway to other poor Slovenian clubs begins. This guy's contract was ending, so I just made sure he was going to another Slovenian club instead of going for oil money.

No, stick with 14.
Every fucking time I think I'm about to have the spare cash to buy FM16, something happens and I have to stick with FM14. On top of that, the issues with feeder clubs in my last save got to be too much and I had to start all fucking over. Life is the worst and I don't like it.

>American as in "North American"?
pretty sure he meant American as people from the only country actually named America
That's the second year in a row Zidane finishes third.

>"American """soccer""""
Usually we're talking about Sudaca cheese because they happen to actually be good.

south america is only america when talking about geography though, not actual politcally-defined entities. which is what was being implied in the context of the original post, it was pretty obvious if you read it.
>Has failed his medical
And he's not even injured. "Pottery."

Usually when someone says American, they mean American, and not an Argentine or Brazilian.
ACTIVATE IT

>>69052366
good luck to ya!
>>69052369
nicely done!
>seven consecutive draws
I'm still relatively new to the finer points of FM and I cannot figure out the tactical/training changes to make which would have an immediate impact in improving my perpetually sub-par possession percentage. Since I'm running basically an expansion team and my squad is very young and more loaded with potential than current talent, maybe there is no solution?
wowzers thank u mr jenkins

Oh fuck this, really? Bull fucking shit, a natural WB at that!
>>69052753
Well no, born in May but that's still shit.
Still new to this game, playing in England means it's difficult to sign players from south america but easier if they have an EU nationality, right? So what about after brexit becomes official?

See ya in FM 19 or something when it actually takes effect. At which point you could just go manage in Portugal or Spain: no limits for foreign players in Portugal IIRC, and they get the Spanish passport in two years.

>At which point you could just go manage in Portugal or Spain
That means being in Portugal or Spain among a bunch of Portuguese and Spaniards with Portuguese and Spanish names, though. England is maximum comfy even though it's hard to get people.

>>69053050
Wait actually no, I take it back.
Scotland is actually much comfier, their league system is the best I've ever seen.
>>69052270
Germany receives a higher number of regens with American nationality.
>>69053195
Is that documented anywhere? How significant is the gap between them and other european countries, anyways?
>>69053195
I've never had even an American second nationality come through in 2027 of fm15.

In addition to trying to get Atlanta off the ground, I'd like to start getting USMNT on its way with the younger dudes. Somehow they managed to get the living shit kicked out of them by Honduras in my first WCQ but now they edged Mexico at the last second. I'd still bet that I don't qualify.
