Hello friends, before i update my next post of Thurrock story, i would like to do a special post. The title of the post is “Credit to Johnny Karp”.

I have been playing football manager for years including the times when they were championship manager. I just concentrating playing and never think of anyone will write a blog regarding his football manager story. Somewhere in June/July 2009, i came across “truefootballmanager” written by Vitaliy Mokosiy by some FM forum(i think so) and i was ‘wow’ somebody has written a blog about football manager.

But i am hungry for more, so i search around using some keywords and one day i saw Johnny ‘s “footballmanagerstory”. I was hooked to it immediately and will always came up to look for his new updates. At that time, Johnny’s website has been around for several months and because of his Chester game unable to load up, he started a new story which he chosen “Blyth Spartans”. I was even more interested to find out as i always started playing from the lowest league. Neverthless i still follow his Chester story and started reading from the beginning. It was well written and very interesting and in fact i [...]Read More

Leading transfers in my Thurrock game

November 3, 2009 - By Lye Kuek Hin

Even though i am managing a blue square south club, i think you must be wondering what is going on in the premier league and the rest of the football world. In this post, i am going to post the leading transfer in my Thurrock game.








The top transfer is dominated by premier league clubs. The most notable is Manchester city pay 21million to At.Madrid for Maxi Rodriguez. Out of the 7 top transfer dealings, Manchester city took up 3 places. And they even fork out 11.75million for Lucas from Liverpoool. Not a bad deal for Rafa Benitez consider he is always being targeted for criticism. I would also sell him if i were him and make use of this money to buy better players. Not much transfer activity for premier league clubs. Manchester city is the club buying the most [...]Read More

Hello friends, I have chosen the club which I played in FM09 Vauxhall motors to test out the new features of FM10. So how does FM10 fares comparing to FM09. I must say I am quite impress by the new user interface. The horizontal tab is very easy to use and it is convenient to access to the informations which you need. For example under the team name, you will be able to see players, tactics, fixtures ,backroom advice, training and coaches. Your assistant manager will now be able to provide you with a lot of advice on and off whenever he has something to tell you. The categories can cover like which player require can improve his game after going through some training on the PPM. Ideal person to take the set piece or even recommend some players who can help to improve the team. There are still a lot of things to explore on. This actually makes your job easier especially when you are taking [...]Read More

One more week to go………..

October 9, 2009 - By Lye Kuek Hin

Hello friends, one more week to go before the demo version of football manager 2010 reach our hands. I am so excited about it. Can’t wait to try out all the new features….Like to try out on the new tactics, touchline shouts (any influence on the players ??) and experience the new user interface. The time of addiction spend on the game is going to be one more year again.. Hope my wife doesn’t complain a lot if i spend too much time playing my favorite game….I will update this blog again when i decide which club to manage. See you…..

Get started

October 6, 2009 - By Lye Kuek Hin

Hello friends, this is my first time writing a blog…. The whole blog will be about my favorite game, football manager. I would like to dedicate this blog to all the football manager lovers out there and the guys from sports interactive. You guys made such a wonderful game. As you know, football manager 2010 will be out soon, i will be choosing a new club to manage. Currently in my football manager 2009, i am managing Vauxhall motor, a blue square north club. Manage to bring them to the premier league in my 14th seasons. I am a fan of low league management. I like the ultimate challenge of bringing a very small club to summit of the premier league even though it will take seasons after seasons to achieve that. So i will probably choose either a blue square north / south club to start with when i get my hands on the football manager 2010. That’s all for now. See you soon…
