[Archived] Football Manager 2008

Cool - cheers le chuck. Time to start a new game with the updated info.

In another title winning year (our 22nd), we really have to worry about how much the gap is closing...

[Billy Castell]

Is that with or without the data editor?

and 125 years into the future according to the date in the bottom corner (Year 2133)

Surely that makes you nearly as old as Bobby Robson.

While I should be 165, the game wraps the age around incorrectly and I am perpetually 14 years old now.

Of course this was without the help of the data editor. Burnley hardly need my help to find the bottom in the course of 125 years.

Some other interesting tidbits:

Chelsea got relegated pretty early on and became a regular Championship side, only to fall further at the turn of the last century, hanging around League 2 for a couple seasons.

Everton was the fastest starting Premier League team to fall to League 1, and have stayed in and around that level ever since.

After staying in a decent place for a while, Wigan and then Sunderland fell all the way to the Blue Square North, although they are now battling it out in the conference.

West Ham play in the 100,000 seat West Ham Stadium and had a longstanding rivalry with Sheffield United in the middle of the 21st century.

[Mc Love]

Awhom111....did you use the editor, to adjust your age? I would have thought you would have started as a new manager to keep that game going...have you no life

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Whats Blackburn up to these days on your game?

Take a screenshot of the Premier League as well. Would be interesting to see who's there.

Where's Chelsea gone after all these years? Or is it just me being blind?

[American]

You being blind - they are in the Championship.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I'm loving the fact that Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd will be travelling to Grays.

That is Grays Athletic and not a team full of Aliens. I suppose with that league being 100+ years in the future, I expect us to have made contact by then.

Wigan in the blue square south lol!

[bluebruce]

So have you managed the club at all? Is this all on the back of the foundations you laid, or did you start doing it auto from the start?

No, I never manage Blackburn. It tends to cause me to cheat.

That's true but Rovers will still be trying to decide on new manager

[awhom111]

Let me know how it works out if you decide to download and play this.

Here is a good screenie (the Premier League with none of the Big Four):

[American]

Downloaded it, but can't find my CD!

Holiday Game

I've downloaded this and going to give it a try. Can't see it running very smoothily on my computer though.

[grizfoot]

Tried that Holiday Game download but it got 3/4s the way to loading after about 5 minutes and then said it couldn't load.

I came across the 1991/92 season database someone complied, it's meant for Serie A really but some of the English teams from that period have been updated too. Although there's still some 2007/08 players in and all the teams are in the divisions they were at 2007/08.

Like Rovers have still got Derbyshire, Brown, ect. in their squad, but you could always relegate them to the reserves and not play them.

Rovers screenshot:

Also Leeds will start with a fifteen point deduction ala 07/08 in League One with a squad like this:

Should be interesting.
