FM 15 story. Instead of poll

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 09:29 PM PDT

Dear blog readers, I am really excited by your activity and comments written to the last post! I got impression there's one absolute leader among all three ideas of FM 2015 story. So there's merely no sense in the poll this year. Just take look at the stats of votes given by you in the comments: Dream job story got 16 votes. It's about starting as unemployed manager and try to become Arsenal head

Ideas for my FM 2015 story

Posted: 25 Sep 2014 10:19 PM PDT

Hello guys, Thank you for joining me again. This blog post no. 841 is totally dedicated to future year with new game. Unluckily, we have no news about it. It's quite strange because normally first news appear in August and there are  lots of interesting things and new features to discuss in September… Nevertheless, I am sure SI Games will produce another amazing game with improved Match Engine

First transfer campaign in AZ

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 10:06 PM PDT

Hello dear readers, I had two options before January: Leave squad as it is and gain a middle league position reliably Make transfers taking some risks You know me :) The the latter option was more tempting, that's for sure. Moreover, I thought it's won't be difficult to keep my club away from relegation zone even having squad blending process of new players. Players out   All sold

Bye Belgium… Hello Holland!

Dear blog readers, My Euro 2020 story has a sudden end. I merely didn't manage to beat Greece in the first knockout round. That turned into an absolute surprise for me. But, to be fair, Greece wondered me with keen counter-attacking moves and very good tactical approach…   Euro 2004 history repeating It was a consolation for me that Greece managed to win all further matches and repeat their

Seeking for a new job

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 09:30 PM PDT

Hello dear blog readers, It's weird to be unemployed after all. Though it's fair as for me. Even after having read some of your comments to the last blog update, I think I did right resigning from Dresden. It was realistic behaviour based on bad results caused by weak transfer policy. I was too careless during every next transfer window… Dynamo Dresden save First and foremost I am glad to share
