Does anyone know where I can download facepacks and club/competition logos for free ?

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:39 pm  

After 28 games of my season I'm sitting in 2nd place, 10 points behind Chelsea but 5 points ahead of Everton in 3rd (with a game in hand over them). Just lost my 26 game unbeaten streak with a 2-0 loss at home to Man Utd, my only other loss was 1st game of the season at City.

Trying to sign Benayoun back on a free as i am getting quite a few injuries, but my 3 strikers are on hot form, Torres has 33 in 47, Boyd 26 in 47 and Edin Dzeko on 29 in 47. I usually start Boyd on the bench and bring him on as a sub as he usually plays well.

Semi final of the FA cup against City and if I win then I will have the winners of Everton vs Fulham/Stoke, so I think I if I can beat City then I have a good chance. Also in the last 16 of the Europa League against Getafe and won 2-1 in the away leg but Gerrard was sent off so he misses the second leg...

Also signed Jan Vertonghen (Sp?) in central defence who is quite strong after the board accepted a £14.75m bid for Daniel Agger from Barca for me, how kind ...

Started with Liverpool ended up getting the push after 18months.

Went to Leeds for 4years, got promoted and ended up struggling in the Champ. 2 seasons in there and got to 8th, then got offered the villa job. Yes please!

Did you have to register for them ? I tried to get them before from there, but it wouldn't let me.

Ended up with Stoke now in January 2016. Got sacked from Villa after about 6months in charge. Took them to 5th and ended up in 11th after 6 games without a win.

Stoke are pretty good tbf. Nice £16m transfer budget. Just dont know who to sign

Managed to string a run together to finish second in the BSP with Fleetwood (Oxford a distant first) and through to the play-offs.

Battled out 0-0 draw in the first leg at Accrington before sneaking a 1-0 lead in the second to book a trip to Wembley.

Went 1-0 in the second half before Grimsby had two sent off - one a straight red for a professional foul and the second a second yellow for protesting about it. That said, they managed to peg me back with a really scrappy goal from a corner with 10 mins to go. A long range screamer from Simon Heslop with three minutes left won it for me.

Off the field, the gate takings from the Wembley trip along wiped out the season-long trading deficit of £200k or so (not helped by early exits from both cups), so hopefully the money situation should be more secure for the time being.

Not sure what to do now. I've got offers from Tottenham and Portsmouth on the table (delayed decision till end of the season) but quite fancy a crack in L2 with this side.

I think that side of the game needs improving. I'm not sure a massive club like Spurs would offer the managerial job to a BSP manager, no matter how well he had done. Unless they've been relegated a time of two.

Managed to finish my season with 101 points in the Premier League. All of third in the league

Started the new season after a couple more good signings and have won 10 from 11. Still not top, City have won all 11.
