Ultimate Championship Manager Game

Can I just ask, what's your club balance? Some players who, like you can go to 2100, have found that if their balance reached eaither 1.2billion or 2.1billion the game automatically reverses it so their 2.1billion in debt (and we thought Weeds were in trouble, eh?) If you've hit something similar, I'd just get a in game modifier (be hard to find them for your version though) and change it myself, seeing as it's something you couldn't help.

My balance is £17m in the red, which has come about due to my policy of signing megastars on free transfers towards the twilight of their careers. I am making a profit on transfer activity, but my wage bill is crippling me. Looks like I've got the title wrapped up, and hopefully we'll get the Champions League. Two big sales and £12m in TV rights should pull us through.
 
Best start thinking about offloading some of the too-far-gone ones then.

Absolutely, the average age of my squad is over 30, and I can see it all falling apart in the near future. We haven't had a decent player come through the Academy since Nick Heath (sold to Lazio for £25m in 2042). As I type this, I realise that I am a complete CM anorak.
 
Strangely I feel the same. I just can't leave this game alone. I started it in 2003 and didn't touch it for about 18 months, but it's always been there lurking. I've started numerous games on this and more recent CM/FM versions, but this epic odyssey just sits there on my hard drive, saying, 'go on, you know you want to'.

I only say so because when my 2025 game file corrupted, I felt annoyed but quite relieved to be off the Champo leash.

On the cash side, I seem to remember my record transfer fee being £107m for someone who seemed to be roughly on a par with a Maradona-Pele combo but I could afford it with 900m in the bank.
 
Got to 2031 in a two player game with my old lodger, helped along by getting a network installed.

Currently on 2021 in my FM 2006 game.
 
This is all very impressive, but I just cant play one save at a club for that long, on '08 as has been reported I have won the lot with Southend, and started the next season, but can I be arsed to win it all again?

I still get child-like satisfaction from winning the Premiership and the Champions' League with the Blues. I understand your point to a degree, and have mixed it up by winning the World Cup with four different nations (England, Holland, Germany and the US), but I have never managed another club team, just doesn't interest me. You see, I'm a Shrimper to the core.

Haha I see what you have done there, and cant help but feel that this calls for a Sparticus moment...

...No, I am Shrimper2thecore!!

I see what you mean, I just like to challenge myself to win other things, but never on the same save, on my Southend save I only ever manage southend!!
