[Official] Football Manager 2011


Recommended Posts

I feel that this is less of a Football Manager 2011 thread and more of an alternate-universe successful West Ham journey.

haha true but...if more people contributed it would be awesome! :p plus theres a few hammers on here so...:rofl:

I'm still playing the FM2010 - just finished the 2013/14 season, got England through to the World Cup Final, but lost 4-0 to Argentina (after beating Italy in the Quarters, and Brazil - the hosts, in the Semi-Final). Was soo gutted, that I resigned after. Spain have approached me, but I think I'm gonna stick with just managing Villa, as opposed to juggling a domestic team, and a national team.

yeah I did that and it got way to busy :laugh:

I just whooped Southampton 12-0 in the EPL

If my wage money can't accomodate it, he doesn't get it.

Just tried getting Phil Jones from Blackburn and he wants 220,000 a week for his wages. WTF?!?!??!

I have run into that a fair bit but I think its mostly the agents doing

Which means a patch is needed :shifty:

'Fixed: Outrageous demands for player wages from agents, especially the small name ones'

then that ruins the fun :p tbh smaller clubs the agents shouldn't be asking for crazy money but if you are in the EPL then they will because you are in a high earning league

when I signed Pato on a free he asked for ?130k a week at first and I got it down to ?79k

http://thedugout.tv/community/ << that's an awesome community giving tips on who's awesome and who's not and also if you need help with anything!

I signed Pato and Diego for free's in the summer of 2012 :D and they are beasts!

Careful with TD as they will steal any content you make if you have a disagrement with them. There is a load of FM sites on 'The Scene' currently and TD is a bit low scale compared to others.

Miles Jacobson one of the original makers of the game was awarded an MBE for the New Year Honours

How did you do that? Did you slowly bring it down and keep suggesting it?

yeah I had like 5 go's at it before he accepted...what I think sealed it was the fact I added the clause "Match Highest Earner" which means he has a good chance of earning more

I started a season with Everton. Boy do they have a striker problem. I signed Christian Benitez and am relying on him and Jermaine Beckford who have both provided a lot of good runs, assists, and goals!

Everton's squad reminds me of Arsenal's. James Vaughn gets injured every time he steps onto the field (or into the weight room). It's unreal. :laugh: I'll end up just selling him because he can't stay uninjured.

Allardyce took over once i left for At. Madrid. Needless to say, he's not doing as well as i did :)

My attacking line-up of Forlan. Suarez and Dzeko with Modric and Paulo Henrique (thanks for that Rappy!) playing behind them is doing really well right now.

my team who is leading the EPL by 17 points atm :D

might quit West Ham end of season though 3 league titles I think is enough, it's getting boring...maybe aim for Spain or France

LOL OMG Dzeko, Hernandez, Pjanic, Rafael, Bale and Vidic at West Ham - oh man thank god it's FM not reality :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
