Subpage under development, new version coming soon!
Subject: ultimate manager
Thanks mate, I was getting my information from a reply in the Q/A thread which does not mention that it's only for scoring moves. The news announcement does mention this.
Cup semis, and all hardest teams are out already...
All right...this thread has intrigued me about this other game. I'm on the waiting list. What's the turn around time to get a new team?
I never had to wait for my team once I got past the slightly crappy registration process.
Iirc there was some issue logging in at first. It might have been because the system turns all characters in the username and password into lower case.
What happened when you registered? They told you specifically there was a waiting list or did they tell you to wait for an email before logging in?
The email they sent me went directly to my spam folder and I never saw it until weeks after I had already logged in once I figured out that lower case thing.

yep. sure did. got approved after i went to bed. maybe assigned a team is the better way to put it.
@Uriah...was told an email would arrive once I got assigned a team. Mine didn't go to SPAM. I did, on the other hand, have to remember what email account I signed up with.
Looks like I landed in International F08. There was some pop-up window with some alerts. But, after I clicked on one the window disappeared. How do i get that back? All I think I know is I missed training set up for the day. There is a lot in this interface. It'll take some time to get used to. Looking forward to re-reading all the posts in here. By the way, thanks for the friend request, Slammy.

Sell all your oldest / worst players to the federation (NOT the TL) for instant cash down to ur 11 player min total. Open up a youthsquad. Hire a coach (you get more money weekly from sponsor when ur wages are higher so don't worry so much bout coach wage). Set your player training. Judge how far off ur stadium attendance is from ur stadium capacity by looking at teams with similar numbers of supporters and league position.
After those first things it'll be all about putting effort into getting 11 young and talented players to train, and also old cheap players to fill out the rest of your roster. Look in transfer ads for players to start bid on at 3ish game time so you have fewer managers bidding against you

There is an assistant that provides direct links to things you might find useful like the manager license (that is more or less a tutorial) and upcoming things that need attention.
Click on the outline of the girl to the left of your team name to access that.

hmm...I notice there is no "English" or American" Forum. It would be nice to have a place where I could understand what everyone was saying. (lol)
On the other hand, there is a lot to learn. Thanks everyone for all the posts over the last year or so about how this works. It's helped a lot!
Progress update: Got rid of my elderly players...mostly. I had too many to dump them all and field a team. Got about half the stadium upgrades going. Being frugal at the moment, cause i don't understand the financials of this game, yet. Got the YS open...waiting for players (two scouts or three?). Got training set. Went ahead and hired two trainers that were available. (which reminds me...how come I have two trainers and it says one of them has no salary?) Looking around for some young "hot" players. And, the first game is tomorrow. I'll worry about tactics after that.

Yeah we need about 70 users to get our own league, and forum to go with it I guess. Right now we have about 25 haha.
But if you scroll down some you will see the international forum and that is in English. There is a long Q&A thread that you might find useful although some of the stuff from the beginning is out of date. Lots of changes in the last year.
I would get 3 scouts right away, the salaries are nothing compared to what you get from sponsorship. The internationals provide better talent players but eventually (we hope) there will be a nt feature so some of us are considering going with national, or have already like Slammmy.
It's not totally clear but you do need to buy out the entire contract if you want to get rid of a coach, so maybe it would not be wise to contract with a long-term "middle" level coach (one with 17 or 18 in his 3 high skills). Eventually you will want to have at least 1 with 19-20 in 3 different skills that can fit some sort of training scheme. Hopefully the two you signed are good...or cheap, or not too long term.

You can access the friendly ad page from the "competitions" tab at the top. The next date is Friday so you have some time to get one scheduled. I would offer but I booked already. :(

Yeah. I read about the buy-out thing. I took the two best trainers I had on the page before I realized what I did. The goofy part is on the trainer page it shows one (the crappy one) has a salary of 0. The other guy (one 15 rating, two 14's) has a salary of 9312. It's that salary of 0 I don't get. Not that I mind...he's really bad and I intend to get rid of him soon as I can find a better one. So 0 buyout cost sounds really good. :)
I got one international to go with my automatic national when I started the YS. Thanks for the clarity on whether to go ahead on the second. I think for now I'll go international...and change over after I get some initial talent in the YS.
Has anyone worked out the skill rating ratios for the various positions? I'm wondering where balance is so I don't over train a given skill for any position.
And, I am already hunting around for Friendly game partners. Won my first regular match, too.

With 70 ACTIVE users during the last season you get your league, but you don't get your forum. Right now forums are based on language since the number of users is low. I asked to admins and they want to keep it that way until the user base increases

Maybe they changed the starting coach to 0 salary in order to avoid giving new managers a potential headache. It's sounds like one of the small but common sense changes they are making all the time.
9312 is a pretty low salary, but that's not a great coach, ok till you can get a better one though.
One thing, you only get offered two new coaches each week if you have 1 contracted. With 2 contracted you only get to look at one per week. So I'd get rid of the lesser one as soon as you can.
