Career Cockers attempts It's A Long Way To The Top 2019


 Share

Recommended Posts

Great stuff mate! Almost as good as my Macclesfield Town team! :P 

Convincing win in the league. Next up: Champions League. Make those Imps cry in dispair as they watch you progress!

As for the goalie colours, I reported in the bug thread. Can you tell me which blue 24 is my striker and which is the opponent's keeper? 😂

INT is really tough as you just gotta do with the quality of players you've got. But then you shocked the world with a Watford title 😲 if this doesn't get you a statue.. Hehe! Massive congrats.

Fantastic performance there mate. Winning the premier league. Wow!!!

Thanks @Kanegan, I thought it was never going to come, I still believe FMM19 is the hardest yet

Congrats on the league win, next stop European glory :)

Looks like your hard work at Lincoln hasn't been ruined at Lincoln yet as they manged 10th.

Thanks @Foxy, I've kind of ignored them now, taking Lanza from them was my last stab at them, they still have a good team and ethos I left behind

My Rep hasn't changed yet, but I'm on the right track now, if I can get a few more key wins, FA Cup, Europe etc, then I might actually complete this challenge, whether it ill put me anywhere near the likes of @Scratch I don't know, only time will tell

Update Season 12

It had to happen, why, well because I believe he is simply brilliant and deserves the high lip, which Lincoln failed to do once I was booted out!!!

I introduce Daniele Lanza (Again)

Still got a few Greens in the right areas, at least 2 more season from the Legend, i'm sure

895098083_Photo19-11-2018195610.png.58b4337447fd06de5f06db4fcd2564de.png

I mean, 50 goals for me, then it's an absolute insult, only 36 goals in 3 season, they should be disgraced treating a legend like that!!

Team Report - Summary

Still to many REDS, but at least the GREENS highlight some good traits for our side, Technically Gifted and Physically Strong to name a couple suites me

We have a bit of money to spare, £189 Million to be exact, which is nothing to frown at

Transfers

In

A couple of big buys to bolster the side that was so successful last season, a big strong CD and BBM was brought in to help with the extra games this season. Obviously my hero as well, Daniele Lanza not to forget

Nice to see at least a No 1 in the Premier league after so many season trying with both Lincoln and Watford, hopefully I can tie this Challenge up in the next couple of seasons, otherwise my eventual Date will be crap compared to the likes of @Scratch and those who else try it.

World Best XI 2029

Mattias Hamren made the Team, I was surprised as there was better players than him last season, but eh its still all good

Here is the surprise of the Challenge, and one that will get @Scratch's back up I guess

ITALY INT MANAGER

Oh yes, Italy it is, I was shocked to be offered this after my Ireland exploits, but I'll take it everyday (again I will keep the INT updates separate)

First proper game of the Season saw us take on the Community Shield for the first time vs Arsenal, not an easy game

An excellent 3-0 win starts us off nicely for the season

 

Carabao Cup vs Chelsea

The Forth Round was a good Victory, beating Chelsea 2-1 at Vicarage Road

Only to lose the Quarter Final on Penalties, I mean come on, 19 shots, 8 on target yet one goal, they have 1 on target, and score it!!!! there is a definite theme going on here!!

Our exploits Earned me my first Manager of the Month award for December

Champions Cup First Knockout Round vs Barcelona

A hard fought 2 legs against Barcelona saw us come unstuck, after winning away 2-0 it was all set to finish them off at Vicarage Road, but it wasn't to be...

Sixth Round vs Man Utd

A 2-0 win highlights another Giant Killing in a cup game for us

The FA Cup FINAL vs Manchester City

What can I say, brilliant, a 3-2 win against Man City allows us to lift the FA Cup

1012588666_Photo22-11-2018221032.png.c3db3b799ad03b24711fadef2cf857b5.png

We was brilliant in the first half clinching 2 early goals, but then the scare was on when they brought it back to 2-2 just before half time. Luckily we cliched it just after the half time kick off, and then shut up shop until the final whistle.

Memorable Games

Home wins against:

Man Utd 2-1

A strange 3-3 draw with Brighton, 26 shots on goal they have 4 shots, 3 on target and score on each occasion!!!

Arsenal 4-0 

Middlesborough 4-2

Away Games:

An excellent win 5-2 against Liverpool

Aston Villa 2-0

A sad sad loss against Lincoln 3-1 (can't let it go)

A little annoyed a lost a couple at the end of the season to allow Man Utd to clinch the League, it was a 2 horse race for most of it between us and Tottenham, then the dirty stinking Reds surpassed us both to clinch the Title, but second is a good finish.

What can I say, I knew he had 2 more good seasons in him, not only scoring the goals, but helping assist a few as well, getting the most with 20 assists.

Thanks as always...

Good stuff mate, shame about the league, but still doing really well. I'm backing you for the quintuple next year!

The Champions League is the main target though - that will get you to Superstar Manager quicker than the others. It's tough that you went out to Barcelona on away goals - so close and pretty good effort. You'll get them next year! 

Italy though? LOL, that's great for you! I eventually got an ITN job, not nearly as glamorous as that. You'll have a decent chance of winning stuff with Italy and that should really help.

Man, what a rollercoaster of a season this was. Not sure what to think of this, think it was pretty good, no? lol but shame losing on a couple ocassons by very very little. If only fortune was a little more your buddy at times.. The Italy gig is exciting news tho. Make the most of it!

Next year, mate I'm just getting over this one, can't believe I didn't win it again, leading for so long, just to let it slip away. The Italy job is massive bonus, this could make me are break me

Hi guys, this is my last and only Update to finish off this Challenge

With @Scratch realising that to get this you have to at least stick with the Club for 5 years+

So without being bitter and twisted, and believe me I was devastated to lose the Lincoln Job, otherwise this could of been a different update, (if I was nay good), So apart from my Congratulations to @Scratch which he well deserves, I will finish this here, and without continuing with the same Season by Season update, I will simply show you the results.

So the final touches to my Watford Team - Highlight

I won the League again, but this I guess is the Golden Nugget

Eventually, winning the Champions League was the icing on the Cake.

The last Achievement after winning the FA Cup before I sacked it

Ok so it was won on penalties eventually, but what a game, 5-5 at the end of extra time, I was proper sat on edge waiting for each penalty to be taken

And Then

I went on to win the International League, this time beating Portugal 2-0 in another hard fought game

So that's it cut short, it was a brilliant challenge and highly recommended, and the final Update is

1022236969_Photo25-11-2018141437.png.da43db68eecd4786c2fde26d887237ed.png

Sad to see the date, but that's why this game is so good, anything can happen, but I did eventually achieve it, so that's a bonus.

Final Date: 1st Jan 2031

To end up at Watford and bringing them to the top is something else. And all that after the FMM curveball that hit you right in the face. Some piece of resilience, mate, big congrats!!

Some great achievements in there (a World Cup! The Champions League with Watford!), but just one bad piece of luck that messed this up... And also me not knowing how it works! Anyway great persistence and you are now number 2 on the leaderboard.
