You can make it so that your assistant controls pep talks and game preparation as well as press conferences.. I always do that personally.
I would suggest starting out with an MLS team or something that's a little less intense in terms of competition and difficulty. Maybe play as a lower level team in Brazil so you can loan some talented guys for cheap and go for the achievement while you're at it.
I started with FM11 and really was able to jump in right away since the career mode is always my favorite in any sports game. You may want to search the net for recommendations on young guys (wonderkids is the terminology) that you can buy for cheap. Some of them don't pan out in every game (there's at least some level of randomness for most all players) but it gives you a good idea and it teaches you about upcoming talent from around the world which is nice.

Quoting for the next page.. let me know if you guys have any other FM questions. I'm kind of obsessed.
I posted this last month in the FM thread.. the ultimate FM 2012 player, Vaclav Kadlec. I ended up loaning him out for the remainder of the 2020-2021 season to Real Madrid and then outright selling him to Man U during summer 2021. Sorry Vaclav.. you had a good run.
Have a 4* striker from my youth academy and 4* Brazilian that I've had for 6-7 years (worth $56 million now after buying for $4m) so Kadlec was squeezed out since he was getting older and down to a 3*. My 4* Brazilian, Robertinho, scored 56 for me last season to set a new record for Porto.
2013-2014: 13 goals, 15 assists in 32(1)
2014-2015: 37 goals, 18 assists in 41(2) - World Team of the Year
2015-2016: 42 goals, 11 assists in 41(2) - World Team of the Year, Golden Boot Runner-Up
2016-2017: 53 goals, 12 assists in 52 - World Team of the Year substitute, Golden Boot
2017-2018: 37 goals, 14 assists in 49 - Golden Boot Runner-Up
2018-2019: 45 goals, 12 assists in 41 - World Team of the Year, Golden Boot
2019-2020: 20 goals, 19 assists in 26
247 goals, 101 assists in 282(5). Beastly is an understatement.

Really? Good for him, he deserves a chance!
Shame Roman will get bored of him in a year and not renew his contract (I assume it's a 1 year)

Sky (116 games) and BT (38 games) have got the rights to the Premier League.
£3.01bn deal.
£3.01bn deal.
Yeah Marcotti has Tweeted it. Before that it was Collymore and Matterface. And now Chelsea themselves.

That's surprisingly cheap comparitively speaking. Check out much ESPN is paying the NFL to get 1 game a week...
They get a few billion annually from Fox, NBC and CBS as well.
It had been expected he'd be retained on a 1 year deal. Looks like he got 2 though so good for him. I think he and everyone knows that he's just there until Pep wants to coach again.
The point deduction is for the 2016 qualifying campaign.
Nothing for ESPN!
Also PL Tv income is up 80% on this time 3 years ago. PL is recession proof.
Ahh ok. So any trouble between now and 2016 and they're fucked for the next championship? Pretty stern punishment, good to see rather than just fines
Won't last 2 years
Who would?
John Terry.
I think you can only get BT sport via BT. So this is fucking terrible...

Sounds like BT will be launching a dedicated Premier League channel across multiple platforms.

Just saw the 6 point deduction for Russia. We'll be back with a vengeance for 2020!
Fuck that shit.

Nope. Scudamore said in the press conference BT's channel will be multi-platform.

Glad we kept Di Matteo. Hopefully he does well. I hope the BT channel is cheaper than ESPN as I only really watch Premier League.

Thanks Meier. I really want to get into it, I just need to ease into it.
I assume they're going to charge for it though, and I can't cancel ESPN because they have the UFC events. Ugh.
They say competition is good for the customer, but I really wish everything was on Sky Sports.

On everything except Wii U then...
Wonder what the big teams are getting then.

Only until August 2012, I expect UFC to go to Sky Sports or FX.
You'd be looking at £100m surely...
However this will just mean higher wages for players. Ticket prices will continue to rise as well as Sky Sports prices already being confirmed to rise in September.
It's great following football...
edit: shit BT got the saturday dinner time kick offs. Always enjoy watching the first half when getting ready

Does the length of the deal ever really matter with Abramovich?
Some silly people in there. Learn the rules before you fucking cry
Not at all but I think it shows some level of confidence in him as he didn't get a one year deal. I think he was opposed to a one year deal though.
Gareth Bale

I think this is probably the key point. I doubt he's earning that much anyway.
Well on the plus side, at least this means we won't have to listen to Chris Waddle or Craig Burley.
Not a clue but it's usually a extra £750,000 per place! But seriously now, if the team which finishes bottom gets £65m are people still doubting the likes of City and Chelsea passing FFP.

The "big" clubs will just spend their extra £20m-£30m paying massive wages or buying expensive players.

It's interesting to watch, because Ronaldo is not the leader of that team. I think Nani should have the armband. Ronaldo isolates himself on an island. He doesn't even look very happy when his teammates score.
