mine has developed a large green square over the buttons at the bottom so i cant see them Technical help (preferably within the next 45 minutes): i left fm09 and my computer running while i was out. My computer's screensaver went up. For some reason this has lead to fm09 white screening.... any suggestions on how to get it running properly again without re-starting? .... i suspect wednesday must be pretty good to manage on fm09, as most of your defence is highly rated.

I've asked for a parent club a couple of times (still on 08 here). The board keeps telling me no-one is interested Stuck up 'Oooooooooo, we're to good for the likes of you!' bastards

you could join the sheffield united gang of feeder clubs ;D since i've not played a fm with feeder clubs before, i'm unsure of there value, OPINIONS? Sheffield United have: A Third Division Belgian club A Second Division Hungarian Club A Top Division Finnish Club A Top Division Aussie Club, and A Top Division Chinese Club. ... i can see the point in sending players to the Belgian Club for a quick EU passport, but i don't know about the rest ...

And a mid-table English non-league outfit would fit in where? *Skulks off to find a top division Chinese club to support instead*

Parent clubs are ery handy as a low league club when they send you players on loan.
Feeder clubs are good if they're quite a good side and you have a big, young team and you can send players out on loan.

My trials and tribulations, continued...After about my 30th game of the season, things began to click. Due to a mix of a stern defence and the ability to sneak a goal i managed to crawl into playoff contention from mid-table. With 6 games to go i was only 3 points of the playoffs, despite almost the entirity of the squad having lost faith in me, but the disaster! My form collasped for reasons unknown and with only to games left of the season the club went into recievership, even though i was £60,000 under my wage bill i saw out the season, only for a computering error (the old white screening mentioned before) striking ... meaning i'd need to restart from an earlier point in this game. i decided to turn this annoyance into and an opportunity. Realising the club would go bankrupt i got rid of the high wage earners Beattie and Speed (£60,000 a week) both of whom had done little throughout the season and changed by tactics to those which had prevously seen my team increase in form after 30 matches.... all seem to go well, i was competing for the Playoffs earlier and united's debt ceased to increase, but yet again, for little reason form abandoned me i was sacked with 3 games to after losing to wednesday (quite right) Previous to the game i had NEVER been sacked or failed to get SUFC promoted So obviously i question the realism and difficulty of the game..... i've come to the conclusion that the game is both difficult, in a challenging and geniune way (which i like), but in terms of sheffield united, at least, it is unrealistic. The former is because it is undoubtedly a fiddly game. To be successful within it you need to get you tactics right straight away, including such things as corners, throw-ins etc etc etc, the things which on previous football managers mattered little. The latter because the game fails to take into account uniteds financial position correctly, our relationship with our sister clubs or the level of financial acumen shown by our board in the last couple of years.... as such the idea that you could cut of wage bill (as i did) and yet some how go bankrupt is ridiculous. However i have started again with the above in mind and it has to be said i'm doing well I think when you get used to the fiddleness of the game, it becomes less difficult.
