FM12 CS Challenge

No, its fine. They will crumble quickly. A club that is finacially stable is a happy club. I'm not in this for the short term.
Knows it..
You can't build a house without foundations or eventually it will all come crumbling down
f**k sake.
I managed to get rid of a load of s**t, brought in a couple of cheap decent players (one of whom my assistant thought was utter toilet, so bollocked me for signing him - he then scored 4 in 3, as a DM. I laughed.). Then found my best 11 and formation, players started to gel, everything was looking ok - defence was crap still - but I ended up going on a 5 match unbeaten run. Confidence was high.
Just lost 3-0 to Rotherham in the League Cup. Assistant has torn them a new arsehole, confidence and morale is low and my team want to kill themselves.
Amazing.

I've been away all this week so haven't been able to get much game time in, just firing it up now though for the evening. Would be nice to finish off the season tonight!
Think I have f**ked up. I have just tried steam didn't work so I thought I would unistall it now I can find a download for it. f**king stupid thing why can't I just play of the disc what is the f**king point in having a disc if you cant even use it.
Would I lose my saves if I uninstall Fm12 then reinstall it see if that helps.

My Season
As with others I started with clearing out the staff and players I saw as deadwood in order to reduce expenditure and raise the transfer budget. I forgot to take a screenshot before the start of the season, but there weren’t too many new signings. As this challenge is in some ways a race to the top, I scrapped the youth policy and went for experience…this turned out to my downfall. The most notable signings were Marco Matterazi at 37 years old on a free transfer and Jamie Mackie from QPR for a fee of £1.3 million. So with a basic 4-4-2 and adjustments to team and player tactics Hull City were on their quest to the top.
Fast forward to December and the season could not have gone much worse, in and out the bottom 3 all season. On the plus side Jamie Mackie was banging in the goals, but the team just couldn’t win. Having managed to keep tight control of finances by sending back loanees, selling a lot of the young players from the first team and cutting right back on staffing the board surprised me twice by raising the transfer budget. This message was just before the January window.
However, as you will know yourselves it’s a proper nightmare trying to attract players to Hull let alone when they are having a shocking season. Having turned my back on the youth approach in the pursuit of old heads, in came Rivaldo, Robert Pires, Dudek as well as Simon Cox, Danny Guthrie and Jamie Ness. Surely these signings could turn the season around. Having realised that wins were needed, years of playing football manager cautiously were turned on its head as I went for the CS Challenge. Hull ended up with the following formation and playing style from January onwards.
And sure enough January and February managed to haul Hull out of the bottom 3 and start to put together a half decent run of wins and draws. However, the damage inflicted in the months before the January transfer window were too much and along with a run of bad results towards the end of the season Hull managed to get themselves into 17[SUP]th[/SUP] with 58 points. Having fallen way short of the season expectations of a top half finish, as the playoffs were taking place I asked the board for more time which they said they would grant. However, in the dog eat dog world of Football Manager 2 days later the board give me the sack. So, I leave Hull up sh!t creek with an ageing team of has beens and a club in need of youth investment. My approach of going for experience in order to race up the table in pursuit of the CS Challenge failed.
Its been a good laugh and will look out for another challenge sometime soon hopefully, cheers.

I have tried everything I uninstalled both steam and FM.
Then reinstalled them both with all the updates etc. Then it used came back with the same error "game unavailable" then after trying some more it said I need to check that FM has installed correctly.
I then deleted it from steam and uninstalled it, installed it again and now it's currently updating through steam so fingers crossed I might of somehow got it working. I may have lost my Hull game but I did back up my files through steam so I might be able to get them back.
