Are you the Stoke manager though? Look at all the things Pulis gets blamed for, it wouldn't be that surprising then.

Stoke fans are incredibly realistic. 4 Premier League titles, 1 Europa League Cup, 1 Champions League title, 3 FA cups and 4 League cups and they still moan about some of my transfers*. *Admittedly I've signed a lot of players but most of them have been youths on frees or for at most £1m and they've nearly all sold on for a profit. |

Dumped out of the Champions League at the Group Stage even though I racked up 10 points, ah well. Thankfully, that meant I came 3rd in the group so I'll drop down into the Europa League
Stadium expansion completed so my ground now holds 25687. Even though the board said we're in a healthy financial position and gave me an extra £7mill transfer budget, they still reject my requests for the training ground and youth facilities to be improved. Actually, they're refusing anything and everything, can't even get a Feeder club as they don't think it makes sense
Never had such a useless set of bastards for a board
Oh and I'm top of the league too. It's the middle of December

Fucking John Snow and his policies he brought down from the wall, it might have worked signing youngsters on a free up there but its just not good enough. And his tactics are archaic, does he not realise we're not against ancient, long-dead enemies here. |

2016/17 season done and I finished 2nd in the Premier League and won the League Cup
Pretty gutted to be honest, if we'd held on against Bristol City then we would've won the title on goal difference but I can't grumble. Another season of Champions League football awaits
Went out in the 2nd Knockout Round in the Europa League to Dortmund. Gotze tore me apart, 4-2 on aggregate
Changing the system for next season. Going from 4-2-1-3 back to my successful 4-1-2-2-1 with two proper wingers and a big bastard upfront. It's doing my head in slightly seeing my middle ST's score at least 85% of the goals over the course of the season. Just isn't realistic (says the lad who's got AFC Wimbledon into the Champions League in 2016..)
Resigned from the Australia job as well, they were whinging that they didn't qualify for the World Cup when it was the previous manager's fault, not mine so they can fuck themselves
Clearout imminent

Had a few injuries and knackered players after all the league games and Europa. Got Bristol in the cup, so thought I'd stick Mama and Riccy up front together. Explosive as ever, I'm having a heart wrenching moment seeing them reunited.  |

SO far had Riccy land a few defenders on their arses to slot it in, and Shawcross from a Corner score. TAKE ME BACK TO 2008 |

Ryan Shawcross is my joint top goal scorer with 11 goals in 19 games. Same as Crouch, but Shawcross has 2 assists, Crouch has 1.
Mainly due to having 2 cracking corner takers.

I'm trying to fix Begovic, made a few small changes to him behind the scenes. I get to play FM13 soon so I can start seeing how he plays mostly research bollocks though, with problems like Cameron coming to the club apparently able to play every position in the game I need to find out what knock on effect it has. He really is fucking shit. So pissed off that the majority of goals come from either his bad kicks or just cocking up. |

Having a weird season. Doing fairly good, 7th with a game to go. Had an almighty battle with bloody Wolves all season. They knocked me out of the league cup in quarters, and beat me at home. Both times I was the better team. Then they got to the FA cup final, which they lost to Bristol, meaning I won't get Europa in 7th place  The big game was playing them away as I was 1 point behind but they also had a game in hand by them. Smashed them 6-1 and they've now lost 4 games in a row ;D Also beat At. Madrid home and away in Europa then lost to Rubin in the semis |

No idea, some fuck up with the database would be my best guess.
I've not been on here very much because I haven't touched FM in the last week. Either been working or fixing as many of my external hdd's as I can or having severe migraines. Can't wait to get back on my Stoke save and hammer the shit out of Wolves though.

I'm not giving up the save because it's probably just Fergie making ultimatums like he's God and losing.
New whipping boys? I'll do a scout on them tomorrow.

What the shit's happened there? The database has made one hell of a fuck up, not a small one, a colossal one of Donk proportions
Obviously haven't played any FM since Sunday but I did manage to finish my Summer Transfers off before leaving. I think I've ballsed it a bit, bought too many average youngsters a la Wenger. We'll see though, can only improve I guess

They are on over -40 goal difference 5 games in with no goals scored.
Their players are all greyed out and amateur.
I hope it doesn't happen to each prem champion. I think it's to do with me adding all the extra leagues to the game in English football.

Well, this is embarassing. I had a poor start to the season, 10 points from 11 games. In all but 2 I've missed sitters and hit the woodwork, more shots and possession but just couldn't finish. I was still confident of a top 8 finish though I always hit a bad patch. I GOT SACKED!!! After losing to Man City away. No warning, No 'LOsing faith with Cross' etc. Just sacked me Oh well, it offers me something a bit different, applied for 5 jobs, see what I get. |

ALso might be because I refused to extend my contract too, only had 8 months left. Onloy because the cunts gave mke £2.5m yo spend. I'll be lucky if I get anything close to that now |

I went to Forest. Could have gone to a Brum who were lingering in the play-offs or Leicester, but Forest is more of a challenge. Nice took an interest and the Brugge job is just about to come up, might just resign if it does ;D
