I'm currently sat atop of the Hall of Fame, and am now 49 years old, having taken charge of 1,318 games, and won 869 of those. It's fair to say I've had a good career thus far, and there's no signs of it slowing down.

I will keep the opening post updated with my triumphs and maybe go in to a bit more detail in my update posts at a later date.

Where do I go next?

Well, I have one more season left on my contract at Manchester City, I am undecided whether to stick with them and dominate England for many of years, or move on. I didn't win the Portuguese Premier League, so I may want to go back there at some point, and I'm contemplating turning this into a pentagon challenge and claiming the other four I need to complete it. I also aim to go to France, Holland, and a few other places, before ending my career back where I start with Espanyol.

Thanks

Wow. That's pretty damn incredible Pringers, hopefully we can see you destroying england with the blue side of manchester this time

GL & KIU!

At the midway point of the 2035-2036 season, I have already claimed the Community Shield with a 1-0 win over Everton, the UEFA Super Cup with a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid, and the World Club Cup Championship following a 2-1 win in the final against Mexican side Monterrey.

We're currently top of the Premier League table, four points clear with two games in hand. We've conceded just four Premier League goals thus far. We're in the Carling Cup Semi Final against Aston Villa, and in the UEFA Champions League First Knockout Round against Fiorentina.

I've also started to notch up a few new tactics to use, with the latest being a 3-2-3-2 formation, which I used during the World Club Cup, and also in the FA Cup 6-0 victory against Exeter. With a bit more testing and arranging, I think I may release it if it's successful.

At the moment, I am actually considering renewing my contract with Manchester City because I've signed some very exciting players, who I want to see mature, and I believe even though we've dominated the last two seasons, we can go even further... that being said, if the right job becomes available in the Summer, I will go.

This is exactly how I love FM games to be played, moving along the big teams and totting up immense quantities of trophies. Ah, wish I could get into a game like it XD

Great job though mate, can't believe you're stockpiling good tactics, I haven't found one yet on FM that works for me :L

GL & KIU!

Off to Eastern Europe with you, they need you

good stuff pringu. keep us posted on more of this

So the end of the season has arrived, and I'm fairly satisified with my results, I still haven't quite decided what to do regarding my contractual situation, I'm sure I'll have a better update for you soon enough though

Following on from the last update, we went on to win the Carling Cup on penalties, after struggling to hold filthy-rich Birmingham City to a draw.

We cruised away with the Premier League title, which makes it six-in-a-row for Manchester City, and a hat-trick for myself, which means that I've already bettered what I did at the cross-city rivals, Manchester United. We ended the season with 92 points, having conceded just nine goals all season in the league. A remarkable feat, which has been coming.

We claimed the FA Cup with a very late winner against Southampton through Mauro Martinez to give us the cup with a 2-1 win.

Unfortunately, our Champions League run was ended in the Quarter Finals against Valencia. We were missing our first choice striker partnership due to injuries, and we couldn't have played Valencia at a worse time, and ultimately, we lost 3-1 in the second leg, ending our dream of winning the Champions League back-to-back.

Hmm, so that's the season done with. What do you guys think I should do? Do I sign a new contract with Manchester City? Or, do I leave and try and find another job in another country? You decide!

Think your time at city is over now

Find another club

Time to move on to a real challenge. I say Notts Forest

After assessing my options, I decided/was talked into signing a new one year deal with Manchester City, but I have decided I will definitely leave next season, and am going to try and get back to Italy and conquer that league again.

Man City !!! come on, you can do a tougher challenge than that

The game has changed dramatically, Everton and Birmingham City both have higher salaries than Man City, and Cardiff are richer than Chelsea. Both Roman Abramovich and the Sheikh at Manchester City have left, and both clubs are now run by Englishmen!

Real Madrid finally broke the Espanyol/Valencia dominance, and are the first team from the big two to win La Liga in seven years.

I have seen Brum getting some good financial input later on in years but never Everton.

Interesting to see that, thanks for sharing
