Boo - he sometimes puts unofficial nicknames in quotes, so Markus "Butt" Münch was an opportunity missed, I feel. I was going for alliteration and Markus "Monster" Munch, but I suppose Butt would do too. Perhaps I can encourage SAF to sell Nicky to me. Then I can have a team of Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Butt, Munch. And that post was the funniest thing ever, which is why it had to be destroyed. I may re-write it, but it won't be anywhere near as good.

Pre-Season 2001 Istanbul then. Or Constantinople. Or, if you go far enough back, Byzantion. The board at Besiktas told me before I signed that they wanted me to get into Europe and, as Oksana weaves through traffic across the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge we do just that, crossing from the 97% of Turkey that's in Asia to the 3% that's in Europe. I cross "get into Europe" off the list of objectives. I presume I'll get a bonus. A few days later I'm standing on the sidelines watching the squad again and it's rapidly becoming clear why Nevio Scala was fired. His squad is awful. There's nothing wrong with the players, in particular; in fact there are some decently talented players, but the collection of players themselves are just... wrong. For a start, he had only two central midfielders, one of whom is also the only left sided midfielder in the team too. This is better than the situation on the other side, where he has zero right sided midfielders. Markus Münch is the best left back on the team, but he's the only one, which means he's also the worst left back on the team. What Mr Scala had put together is five Defensive Midfielders, including a terribly useful Alaçayir Murat who is a DMR - one of the most useless positions possible - and six Attacking Midfielders, although amusingly none of those six can play on the right. He's also loaded up the team with the maximum number of foreigners, leaving no room for a quick fix paid for with some of that lovely money. I send the scouts out, all seven of them, across Turkey. After I've been there a week, the press want to know what I am aiming for this year and I give them the stock answer of challenging at the top and making Europe. I neglect to mention that having looked at the squad I'm secretly convinced that I've only been brought in because I'm going to be easy to sack when someone with a higher profile becomes available. Thoughts about sackings don't improve when I start to play the friendly games. We start off against my old lot Gaziantep Büyük§ehir Belediyespor and struggle past them 1-0 despite out-shooting them 15/12 to 1/0. The story is the same a week later as we beat non-league side Erdinespor 2-0, the shots going 20/13 to 0/0 this time. Converting 25 shots on target into three goals when playing one division two side and one non-league team full of grays isn't going to win me any friends. Things don't get any better when we go to Holland to play in a tournament and lose 1-0 to Chelsea and then 2-0 to Feyenoord. I move things around for a friendly against Division 2 Antalyaspor and muster a 2-0 win on just 6/4 shots which is a little more promising, but any idea that we've cracked things don't stand up to scrutiny as we go into the official season opner - Turkey's Writer's Association Cup. We start off at home to last year's champions Galatasary and don't acheive much outside of injuring Markus Mülch's foot as we lose 1-0. In the second Writer's Cup match we play Fernabahçe and get torn to shreds, 5-1. Seven non-competitive games into my Beskitas career and the board are already grumbling.

August 2001 I hate Nevio Scala. I presume that in a past life I reversed over his cat or something, because he clearly had a grand plan to make Besiktas crap, then get fired and then arrange for me to take over from him. My enmity toward Mr Scala builds during our first game which is a WAFER Qualifying Round 1 game against the Cypriots Omonia Nicosia, as the two central midfielders Nevio did deign to leave me both rate a 5/10. Fortunately, the home team are worse and we win 2-1 with two goals in the first 20 minutes as Sead Halilagic heads home a corner and Turkish Under-21 star Kahveci Nihat wins the ball in our half, dribbles around all of the Nicosia team, most of their subs and some members of the crowd and then slots home. With the midfield being so crap I end up pushing DL Markus Münch into the middle of the park where he manages a 7/10 despite being out of position. Ahead of the second game I mess around with the formation to try to find one that plays without anyone in the middle of the park and the DM-heavy system struggles, predictably, limping to a 1-0 win over Altay - a side that was promoted from Division 2 after last season. Old Man River Özdilek Mehmet scores our goal five minutes into the second half - he's an AMC playing at MR, as I don't have any of those. When we fall behind 1-0 at the defensively minded Kocaelispor things aren't exactly looking great, but then something crazy happens, as Akman Ayan, (AMC playing at MR... surprise!), equalises and then Mirsolav Karhan and Kahveci Nihat score in the space of two minutes to put us ahead 3-1 at the break. Annoyingly, Haspolatli Cihan closes the gap to 3-2, but then Nihat seals the game, firstly by scoring the second to put us ahead 4-2 and then by getting headbutted, of all things. Ak Korhan is sent off for trying to rearrange Nihat's face. We get the ball in the net twice against the ten men, but both are disallowed. I wish I knew what happened to turn us into a goal scoring machine, but I'd probably just break whatever it was, so really I'm happy to remain ignorant. Especially as that ignorance gives me a 2-0 win in the WAFER second leg thanks to goals from Defensive Midfielder Havutçu Tayfur and... Defensive Midfielder Miroslav Karhan. This is backed up with another 2-0 win at home to Denizlispor in the league. Ahmet Dorsun gets the first, before the impressive Nihat cracks in his third league goal in three games. I've no idea how it's happening, but my board don't know that. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Besiktas 1-0 Altay Kocaelispor 2-4 Besiktas Besiktas 2-0 Denizlispor Omonia Nicosia 1-2 Besiktas [WAFER] Besiktas 2-0 Omonia Nicosia [WAFER] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pos Team Pld Won Drn Lst For Ag Won Drn Lst For Ag Pts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Galatasaray 3 2 0 0 6 0 1 0 0 5 0 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Fenerbahçe 3 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 8 1 9 3rd Besiktas 3 2 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 4 2 9 4th Trabzonspor 3 1 0 0 4 1 1 1 0 3 2 7 5th Adanaspor 3 2 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 2 3 6 6th Samsunspor 3 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 1 2 2 6 7th Denizlispor 3 1 0 0 3 2 1 0 1 2 2 6 8th Ankaragücü 3 1 1 0 6 4 0 1 0 1 1 5 9th G.

Coulibiliy's signing means I can get rid of Pascal Nouma - Nouma has all the skills of a Hartson Certainty forward, but hasn't shown any sign he knows what to do with his physical abilities. Nouma cries about being put on the list, but I don't care, he can fook right off. Plus he's French.

Awesome stuff. CM rolled the happy dice when you turned it on for this session :thumb:
According to the Bible of Fruits, midfielder labels work as so:
DM means they can definitely play DM, but might also be able to play M and AM AM means they can definitely play AM, definitely can't play DM, and might be able to play M M means they can definitely play M, and definitely can't play DM or AM.
So your lack of MR might be solved by the DMR you have in the wings (ha!).
In other news, the most useless position in the CM pantheon is SWC. Closely followed by FL or FR.
DC and Moo will beg to differ.
Anyway, I see you've got a 100% record and are still behind Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.

I like FCs. I usually have a deep forward in my tactics, even if I play a conventional front two and the Forwards seem to do better there than the Strikers.
I wish I could remember the name of that Hungarian forward I had at Chita alongside Striker "Seriously Stimulating", because he was mint.

Unless your talking tictacs. Then I actually had a Chelsea tactic that had both, and was so strange that it actually worked. I was shocked. Then again, coffee really shouldn't work but does. I wish I had this tactic now, as it looks like I need it after both DC and Moo have gone before me. The most useless position in CM is FC, everyone knows that.

DC and Moo will beg to differ. KUTGW Is all correct. Positional abilities are rated out of 20, with "15" being the trigger for it being displayed in the game. DM overrules AM. In theory a player could still have a marginal ability to play another position - but knowing how lazy SPING were I know for a fact they didn't program very many "marginals" in. You either do, or don't, or can't play RW. Unless you played there once for Man Utd in a friendly. In which case you're the real deal AMFRLC Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, natch. Nevermind the time when Roy Keane was a D/DMC, Bitter? Me? Why should I be bitter than Trevor Sinclair was a piss poor AMRC before magically becoming a FRC? Poofs. Theoretically a DL can be a DL/WB. A DMLC can be secret LWB, a FR can be a AMFR (because AM is activated by "Midfield 15+"). So a player who was solely an AMC would randomly sometimes appear as a FC (depending on if he had free role) or an AMC without Forward ability or free role. Whereas others would spawn as AM/FC if they had Midfield 15+. Of course Sping routinely changed the modifiers, and on FM I think they all show up. In comparison, on CM9798 someone such as Niclas Alexandersson (D/M/FRLC) could play DM and AM but it never showed up due to whatever weird logic that game had. PS - SWC was feasibly useful. FR/FL are secretly uber if you run any kind of AMFR system, providing they're not "true" FL/FR i.e. that bloke for Udinese, or (for some bizarre reason) Guiseppe Signori.

I always tried to get this Polish striker who was the generally the best player in the game. He was this after a few seasons, and generally had a high loyalty rating which made it hard to prize him away initially. Brozek I think. Though it could have been 01/02.

September 2001 At the end of September I'm standing in the regular scheduled meet the manager press conference nonsense, bored waiting for the translator to appear. I'm looking about the room yawning when I see Oksana at the back by the door, giving me the "cut" sign across her neck with her hand. I notice the sports reporters watching me and snap off the yawn and replace it with a weak smile. Sometimes it's good to have a Beauty Pageant Model around. They have more use than the obvious. Half an hour later all the writers are yawning and not hiding it as I conclude my exciting recount of a fairly serene month. The only quote they bother to write down is when I describe the team as the third birdge in Istanbul; filling the gap between the makeweights that fill most of the division and the big two, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. The performances from the month back me up as we club newly promoted Sakaryaspor 6-0 away from home in a game that features a hattrick in 26 second half minutes from new signing Sözkesen Murat and then hammer Adanaspor 4-1 at home thanks to a brace from defender Sead "Magic" Halilagic." Scoring our fourth in that game was the big man Fernand Coulibily and it's pleasing to see that unlike Pascal Nouma, Fernand does know how to throw himself around, as he wins virtually every header all game long and only the wood work denies him a hattrick. However, those two league crushings come either side of an 0-3 defeat In Istanbul away to Fenerbahçe. I don't even use Ahmet Dursun's red card as an excuse, as we were comprehensively outplayed. I'm not looking forward to playing Galatasaray at the end of October. Fortunately, any disappointment about the Fenerbahçe loss is salved by the 10 league goals in the other games and by mostly untroubled progress in the WAFER. In the second round we draw Grasshoppers Zurich and the Swiss never get out of neutral as we win 2-0 at their place and 2-1 at ours. Trailing 4-1 in the 90th minute of the second leg, the commentary says this : I'm no expert, but that may be too little, too late there. In the third round we face Scotland's Livingstone and I make lots of "I presume" puns in the post-draw interviews, which for some reason the Turks don't laugh at.

Checking down in division 2 I see that my old lot Gaziantep Büyük§ehir Belediyespor are bottom of Group 5 with five points from 8 games and most of the players I bought in "UNH."

October 2001 For October, see September. The two months were strikingly similar as we completed October with three wins over run of the mill top leaguers, lost to one of the big two, (Galatasaray this time) and cruised through in the WAFER. The loss to Galatasaray was a bit more heartbreaking than the Fenerbahçe effort though as we'd held our big neighbours scoreless through 90 minutes, only to crack two minutes into injury time. The WAFER progress was slightly different too, as we played at home first for the first time, taking a 1-0 advantage courtesy of Ahmet Dursun to Scotland, which we defended stoutly, sealing a 0-0 in Livingstone, without really being troubled. The league wins were over Samsunspor, Çaykur Rizespor and Gençlerbirligi with the board being especially pleased by the 2-0 victory over Samsunspor which came thanks to goals from Ahmet Dursun again and the big fella, Fernand Coulibaly. In the midst of these results we were top of the league for two days, before the Galatasaray defeat, which sent Fenerbahçe back above us. I was especially pleased by our league form as a run of injuries had left us shy of the guys we normally play out of position on the right and left. We called up FC Ulusal Fazli to play on the right and he finished the month with a 7.75 average from four games, a goal, an assist and the Man of the Match award in the win over Rizespor. With Coulibaly settled in now we were able to move on Pascal Nouma, who went back to France to Lille for €2,900,000. This freed up a foreign player spot and we pounced on Uruguayan DLC Federico Bergara for €2,100,000 to provide cover for Markus Münch and at Centre half - we've started the same pair at DC in every game this season and it can't be long before the AI notices and injures one or both.

After the way the pre-season went I'm both pleased and slightly baffled with what's going on here.
It'll be interesting to see if I can keep beating everyone bar Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe and then if that's enough to get ahead of that pair, relying on other teams to beat them.

November 2001 This management lark is easy I think to myself as I sit back in my comfy leather chair. I look at the last round of league games again, matching my 3-0 win over Yoghurt Spores, or something, with 1-0 defeats for both Galatasary and Fenerbahçe. All I need is to practise my maniacal laugh. And a cat. I don't have a cat. And Oksana gets kind of freaked out when I ask her sit on my lap while I stroke her chin. She also refuses to purr. I shuffle through the papers on my desk to the next note of interest and laugh again... Fortunately for Mr Pantelic I'm at my cap for foreign players so he's safe from my pressgangs for now. In fact being at the cap leads me to smash the club's transfer record in November, as I sign Turkish MRC Tayfun Korkut from Real Sociedad for €11,500,000. The fee is that high purely because of Tayfun's passport. The international midfielder starts to repay us immediately by scoring on his debut against Trabzonspor. Tayfun's goal helps us to a 3-2 win in Trabzonspor and that's the most exciting game of the month, as it's the only one where we allow a goal. The other four games end with four clean sheets; two of them 1-0, the other two 3-0 - results that push me seven points clear at the top, thanks to the slip ups from the big two. One place we are having problems is in the WAFER as new players like Tayfun, Fernand Coulibaly, Federico Bergara and Sözesken Murat joined after we announced the European match squad; their ineligibility leaving me short of cover for the injuries we're getting up front. This manifests in October's struggle past Livingstone and a feeling of trepidation as we draw Moncao in the next round. We can't even put out a full squad for the first leg which is in the principality, so I'm extremely pleased with forward Ahmet Dursun who scores a fantastic solo goal, his run with the ball taking up nine lines of commentary before he slotted home. Monaco come back at us in the second half and veteran Italian striker Marco Simone equalises, but taking an away goal home is a pleasing topper on a very nice month. I presume it'll all go wrong at Christmas. --------------------------------------------------------------- Besiktas 3-0 Yozgatspor Besiktas 1-0 ASASaspor Sirrt JETPAspor 0-1 Besiktas Trabzonspor 2-3 Besiktas Istanbulspor 0-3 Besiktas --------------------------------------------------------------- Pos Team Pld Won Drn Lst For Ag Won Drn Lst For Ag Pts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Besiktas 15 7 0 0 16 1 6 0 2 18 8 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Fenerbahçe 14 4 1 1 11 2 6 1 1 14 4 32 3rd Galatasaray 14 6 0 0 18 0 4 1 3 15 7 31 4th G.
