6 months into a Newcastle save and I'm able to buy Ozil for £30m. Very tempted.

Just got a new owner on my newcastle game

said he has no plans to invest currently

Still better than Ashley

[beatski]

going to sign a head of youth development, should i get the one with the higher scouting ratings, or the one with the higher everything else ratings? (top guy or 2nd bottom guy:)



top guy has passing/attacking style/mentality (prefers 442) and is fairly determined
2nd bottom guy has mixed/balanced style/mentality (prefers 442) and is a model professional

also, when's it a good idea to move my youth prospects from u-18>reserves>senior squad?

[TheLittleGeordie]

I'd go for the top one or Patrick Rampillion because that's a brilliant name

2 points from 5 games in my first season promoted to League 1 I'm gona get fired and there's nothing I can do

[Yacob]

I got my head of youth development from Saints as they kept producing great regens

[Mifune]

I've got that Bernhard Peters as mine .

Good to see that you convinced Olivier to come out of retirement.

How the hell do you find good u-18s coaches, the search thingy's s**** for it

Trying 3 at the back in games away against the bigger sides, so far have got a 0-0 draw at both Anfield and Old Trafford. Think I might have to continue using it

I confidently predict (based on pattern recognition) that you will now lose 4-0 to a League One side at home.

I almost always find it better to take the game to bigger teams. If you try to play defensively they tend to destroy you.

I lost to Colchester away on penalties earlier in the season

My team agrees with you, even if I don't. Played 5-3-2 against 3rd in the league (I was 14th) away, put on defensive. Drew 4-4

Every time I try that I lose by a huge margin
