I know there is already a champ man thread but i thought a new one should be made for the new champ man!!

Heh, anyone ever won a cup game by a golden goal in extra time? its well cool, all of your players (even your subs!!!!!) run on the pitch and celebrate! Just beat 2nd division peterborough like that in the vans trophy.
heh, Stevenage board gave me 80K to spend for the season. I aint spending a penney. Sold a few super crap players to boost my transfer fund for next season.
The odds for me to win the conference were 25-1 but i am currently sitting 2nd after 10 games :)

Got 500k to take the almost team Wolverhampton Wanderers to the premiership finally. Nice board seeing as they gave that ruddy Dave Jones before me 13 Million to waste. I could have done with some of that. Anyway i've only managed to bring in:
Paul Gascoigne - 100k
George Weah - 100k
Matt Mullini - Free
Daniel Nardiello - 250k
Seems to be doing alright though. 2nd in first Division and just beat what seemed to be Man United's u12 team 3-1 in the FA Cup 4th round

Right, i'm gonna start with one with my local team Stevenage. Who are currently sitting 17th in the conference. Now thats a challenge!
I have 2 games going, 1 with Liverpool and 1 with Norwich. As soon as I get the hang of the whole game I will start a game with a 3rd division team.
Pffft. Why dont you lot actually take on a challange with the game, rather than go for all the high flyers...unless you support the teams you pick...
Ahem.
Anyway, in my second season with my team, Sheffield Wednesday. What can i say. £18 million in debt, no money for transfers. The first season was a real struggle, still managed a half decent 15th position come end of the season with a nice cup run getting to the Worthless semi's. Yet it wasnt worthless, brought in some much needed cash.
Pre-season, did a bit of wheeling and dealing, and brought some good players on season loans and frees. Half way through the second season now, high in the playoffs around 4th. So doing rather well.

I had a penalty shoot out go 30-29 on 99/00. It messed the screen up bad. I can't find the time to go on CM4. It's really annoying me.

Have you downloaded the patch? It sounds like you haven't, even Everton can't be that poor.

Right click on each training option e.g. Weight Training, it will tell you how this improves you players, then set up 4 separate training schedules, 1 for attackers, 1 for attacking midfielders, 1 for normal midfielders and defensive midfielders, and one for defenders.
Having seen how to improve your players set up the different schedules so that your training works on these aspects:
Your attackers need good finishing, pace, acceleration, anticipation, agility, heading and strength. Crossing, passing and dribbling are also handy.
Your attacking midfielders need good dribbling, creativity, passing, finishing, crossing good technique so they are generally comfortable on the ball.
Defensive midfielders need to be strong good at passing, long shots and tackling, there must be more but that’s all I can think of at the moment.
Defenders have to be strong good tackling, pace, acceleration, heading, jumping and marking.
Make sure you have things like Pig In The Middle for all your people otherwise they get depressed.

Try shaking the 4-4-2 up a little if it’s not working, move an attacking midfielder just in behind the strikers and move your other central midfielder smack bang into the middle. I have found this works well against someone else that is playing 4-4-2 as they never pick him up, but, you will need your other central midfielder to be very strong and have a lot of stamina to win the midfield battle.
What kind of individual instructions have you given your players?

Finally got my copy today after some mix up with the post office.
Been real busy with uni work though and probably will be up until Summer which is annoying.
Anyway I started it and it is quite impressive.
Hopefully will get time over the weekend to start it properly and get a good team built up...

Ruud van Nistelrooy missed a penalty as well.
My best win ever in Champ Manager was 14-0 against Moldova when Italy in a qualifyer for the 1998 World Cup in CM97/98.
My biggest result in CM4 so far is 6-0 over FC Kovenhavn as Juventus in the Champions League.
I've also beaten Real Madrid 3-0 four different times using two different teams (Juve and Bayern). They're crap in it.
