Bit strange that, as Coates has good chairman stats, good ambition and has resources set at around 18 making him one of the richest chairman in the game. He is only set as an underwriter though, rather than a foreground/background sugar daddy.

Makes it worse really.
Added to the fact I've kept a right wage budget I should have more. Got a few more mil by adjusting but still not enough to get a couple of really class players though(and there's a few available because Man City didn't quality for CL)

Had the exact same problem Meow.
Champions League in the first season, given £11mill. I then proceed to spend it but then sell a few players, giving me around £200k free in the wage budget. The board then won't let me adjust the budget which has never happened before.
The logic and AI thought processes have gone miles backwards in nearly every aspect of the game. SI need some competition because they've gone off the ball for 18 months now and I'll never pre-order the game again.
Why pay £25-30 when I can wait a couple of months and get it for half the price and still get a game that's still riddled with issues?
And it's not as if I've done garbage because I get how the ME works on a base level. However, you never know if your tactics are working properly when there's things you can't control like awful keeping, heavy first touches giving the opposition a free effort on goal and corners being defended laughably for and against.

You'd never see a Stoke player take a heavy touch in real life.

After watching the game today, I have no complaints about FM.

So the game lost my save and I had to start again from before the first match. This time with a little more game experience under my belt I beat Man City, smashed Everton again and I've not lost a game yet. All I'm using is the 4-2-3-1 I was telling Jay about set to rigid and counter, no team instructions. Current line up is this. Assaidi was injured in the preseason so I've not even played him yet. Walters is doing great, although he misses a fair few chances.

For all it's failings, FM14 has captured Alan Pardew perfectly.

I think the Turkish League is a bit unbalanced. It's November, and we've pretty much bagged the title.

Manager of Brentford, first 10 games won 8 drew 2. The next 15 games won 2 drew 9 and lost 4.
For some reason my strikers will be shit hot and my defence turn into wankers or vice versa.

Admittedly it's a First Round German Cup game, but 80%-20% over 90 minutes. Verdammte Scheiße.

Had to win the last game of the season to guarantee a play off place and fucking lost 2-1 at home to Stevenage. They barely stayed up too! This cheered me up mind. £9.4M for a league 1 team! image hosting

£9mil for League One? That's absolutely ridiculous!
Has anyone ever signed Luke James from Hartlepool? He absolutely murdered in my Rotherham save.

I don't understand that tactics. But I'm 10 points clear in my first season. This is fucking shit, also the board won't increase the money for youth recruitment but will for junior coaching and facilities. So I have awesome facilities and coaches but no fucking decent players. Ridiculous.

I know you've all won the league in your first season with 5 games to go etc etc, but I'm about to finish my fourth season, and going to finish 3rd(with 2 4th place and one 6th place the two seasons before).
I'm only finishing about 4/5 pts off the top, but my problem seems to be beating the big teams. I can't seem to beat them fuckers. Oh, and Norwich, Norwich fucking City did the twatting double over me.

Norwich are fucking cunts. I've drawn two games against them and beaten them narrowly twice. Wankers.

I had a really shit run of games despite having a squad far too good for league 1 and in my last game I conceded 40 seconds into the match.
I ended up rage quitting and uninstalling it, kinda regret it now.
