Anyone have any issues installing this on a new machine? Worked ok on my old laptop but when i try it on my new one, it tells me there were errors and to check the error log??

2009 is a nightmare to install. i'm glad i've only had to do it once

Did it work OK for you first time around or did you need to do anything special?

So I'm offered the Under-21's manager role but I can't appoint any coaches, physios or assistant. How?

Not had an international job in 09, but aren't they basically appointed to the senior team by whoever is the England manager - in much the same way as with a club you appoint coaches and physios who also look after your youth and reserve teams?

Thats what I was thinking but I can't use them to get assitant advice, scout reports or physio reports which I could use because the majority of the squad is made of regens.

My almighty Dover Athletic side have stormed to 4th in the Blue Square Premier in late january in 2011-2012, looking good for next season with 2 cracking players coming in on frees from france, one, an argentinian striker could be an absolute beast.

Took Inverness to 4th in the SPL at Christmas 2009. Finished 10th in season 1 so a big improvement so far.

I've found on other versions of the game that its very important to get a good backroom staff. Can anyone reccomend any good coaches, scouts, assistant managers etc? Preferably ones that will come to a lower league club.

Got Cardiff to the Playoff final in 09/10 season but was defeated by Fulham and was then sacked.

How kind of them!

Tottenham offered me a job there and im 2nd with 8 games to go.

recently had my 1000th game as a manager. that may give you some idea of how long i've been playing for

Ended up finishing 5th and have won my first two ties in the UEFA Cup. Will more than likely lose to Sporting Lisbon though.

Well at least it's a bit of a glamour tie. Not like you'll be going out against some eastern european team you've never heard of before
