This thread has been linked to the game 'Football Manager 2005'.
Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.
It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.
I love Football Manager '05

Nevermind.
Should click "Save", and choose With Data, as without Data is only for those who already have 5.0.3.
Hehe AJ is a wise man :P
If you really want to test your FM skills though, try starting with a division 2 team AJ :)

When downloading the Patch (5.0.5) it has two options - With Data and Without Data, what does this mean and which one should I download? Should I click on Run or Save when the file download window comes up?
Bloody hell - my dad wanted to play the game as he is into football blah blah blah so I let him start a new game and I came back upstairs to kick him off I found out that he has overwritten my PSV data. I went mad and asked him what he did and he just said "Dunno" and walked off!!!
I've just done HALF A SEASON with PSV and now I have to start all over again cause of my stupid dad.
ARGHISDHSHHD!!!!!

Yeah.
Still 2005. He was 23 at the time.
The other guy, Bovo, was 21 when I signed him.
Must be something to do with the patch that I'm being able to get these guys free when I should be paying for them.

If you can get money for him, then you've got to go for it, sadly.
PSV have Cocu, Vogel, and quite a few others as well, though, so you should be all right. Also, Freddy Guarin is a fine replacement. :-)

I know it doesn't. I was aware that Bosmans were when players were allowed to leave on a free. But seeing as you are signing players who are currently set to leave under the Bosman ruling, then technically you are signing Bosman players. Ok, so they haven't confirmed whether or not they are leaving or not under the rule, but at the time you sign them that is the direction they are heading in. I've been following football long enough to know these things. :-)

Bovo and Santana are both under 24, and I signed them when their contracts were running out.

Van Bommel's contract is expiring soon and he's currently getting paid £21k, but now he's asking for £33k and I cant afford that, should I try selling himbefore he rejects? He's worth about £5M and he's definately not going to accpet my offer so I may as well sell him....or shouldn't I?
