Yes. If they offer you the job, you can take it and manage both teams.

I managed Greece to a 2012 Euro Champs. at the same time I managed Barcelona. icon_smile.gif

in the 2014 world cup, I won it with Mexico,and then resigned and won the quadruple with Man city.

Going to leave Man City in 2020 I've decided, will be bored of winning it all after another 4 seasons and I will probably be hailed the greatest manager of all time by then.

Will probably go to a team that's just come up to the premier league and hopefully take them to greatness.

You could always try a greater challenge and emulate me by gettin Leeds in to Prem in 4 years with a starting budget of 500k . icon_wink.gif

How much you spent at City?

I was offered it half-way through the qualifying stages. I resigned after the championships and applied for the France job but they got Laurent Blanc instead. icon_lol.gif icon_sad.gif

There some strange managerial appointments on mine. Like Gary Neville the Chelsea manager! icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Signed Kevin doyle on deadline day for Wigan but he got injured straight away on international duty. I'm going well in 13th and only a few points off Europe. Camara, Zaki and Doyle are all hitting top form. I'm trying to keep all my top players despite interest in Palacios, Valencia, Scharner, Boyce, Heskey and Edman. I've resigned to letting Heskey leave in the summer on a bosman as he keeps rejecting my contract offers. Also received a warning from the FA after having a go at the ref for wrongly sending off Bramble. Got a decent run of games coming up so hoping to move into top ten soon.

Well, taken the plunge into the murky world of FM2009, having patched it up first.

Started in the Conference South with AFC Wimbledon. Couple of pre-season friendlies gone, a defeat at home to Hereford and a win against Kidderminster.

Not convinced at the 3d match engine, it makes some of your players look even more useless than the 2d one as they run the ball out of play for no reason, or stand on the spot facing away from the ball as a forward runs through from 30 yards away to get in behind them.

icon_lol.gif How annoying is that??!!??

I had a fiddle at the Posh and Palace before starting my first "proper" game. I've decided to enter the murky world of the MLS and took on Columbus Crew. To my delight I saw they have Eddie Gaven, a favourite from one of my past games, and the legend that is Guillermo Barros Schelotto. I think I may be having a few run ins with Steve Nicol at New England Revolution!! icon_lol.gif

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



I tend not to use the 3D engine. Mebbe in a few years when they've worked the kinks out.

But anyway I've won my first piece of silverware by leading Newcastle to the League Cup. However, I'm having a transfer embargo (just at the time I was starting to look for new players to come in next year). Sold Steve Taylor and Micheal Owen to Chelsea in January for a combined sum of £22mil (including some add on's for Taylor, Owen was a quick sale as he'd made it clear he wanted out and refused to sign a new deal) But as the club is up for sale I can't now buy anyone else in. Hopefully this will all be sorted out before the end of the season otherwise I'm probably gonna have a poorer 2nd season and will most likley go the normal way Newcastle managers go

I decided to carry on with my Man City game that i started when i first bought the game a few months ago. I got a bit fed up originally and started a few new games but could never really get into one, went back on this game a few days back and back into it again, i hope anyway.

Currently in January 2011, just signed Mario Gomez as i was a striker light and brought in Alexis Sanchez to cover the wings and attacking midfield position. I won the premiership last season, and i am a contender this season but i'm a bit of the pace so at the minute looks unlikely, but never counting myself out. My teams a good un' too:

Joe Hart

Richards
Gonazlez
Luisao
Lescott/N'Zogbia

Bentley/Silva
Inler/Diarra
Alonso
Fernandez/Silva

Baptista/Robinho

Santa Cruz/Gomez

I then have the likes of Buonanotte and Alexis Sanchez (who i've only just signed) on the bench. Plenty of strength in depth and some young lads in the squad including John Fleck and Jack Wilshere. Happy with my squad at the minute, although Robinho is a bit of a flop and never seems to play well for me, but willing to keep him a bit longer, especially now i've sold Palacio. Sanchez will cover his loss quite easily.

Just sold Boulharouz (signed for £4million) for £10million, as well as Rodrigo Palacio for £7.5million. Both profits from what i paid for them, so both good little bits of business.

Looks very unlikely i'll win the league though, about 12 points behind Arsenal and about 6 behind United, looking at 3rd at the minute but you never know. Doing well in FA Cup and Champions League so far.

Anyone looked at FM Live yet? The pricing seems pretty much in line with your standard MMO. However it's a minimum 3 month subscription

I played the beta and it's good but IMO there isn't enough in the game to justify a subscription.
