Celtic
G: David Marshall/Kasper Schmiecal (This is my problem position after Hedman started to suck it up)
D: Piiroja (Flora Tallin)
D: Kinniburgh (Motherwell)
D: John Kennedy
(Mark Willson can drop back from Midfield if needed)
RM: Diego (had Kaka but sold him)
LM: Stephen Murray (from Killmarnock)
MC: Mark Willson (from Dundee United)
MC: Mark Kerr (from Falkirk)
AMC: James McFadden (from Motherwell)
(Mark Fortheringham M/C(youth system), James Foster M/RC(english youngster),Giggs (Man U) - near retirement )
FC: Lee Miller (from Falkirk for 1 million)
FC: Stephen Pearson
(Larsson, Sutton, Gardiner (youth player I nicked from Hearts))
Scottish Champions: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008
Scottish Cup: 2006, 2007
League Cup: 2003, 2005, 2007
Champions League: S/F - 2005, 2007,
Uefa Cup: S/F - 2004,
My european record has been quite good, with 3 semi finals appearances. Also managed Scotland to 2nd round of WC in 2006. Quite satisfying as I haven't got many guys outside Scotland, although it hasn't been through the lack of trying to attract the right players.

Talking about CM 3 here: First thing you do is buy Martin Palermo, Pablo Aimar and D`Alessandro and you make a 4:3:3 formation, making Palermo your main striker. After awhile you sell off all the dead wood (Owen, Gerrard, Hyypia etc) and you buy Ronaldinho. A player like John Welsh become good and you also add Walter Samuel to strengthen your defense. Of course you can make some smart signings and purchases in addition to those I`ve already mentioned, but if you do as I`ve told you you`ll have a very successful team on your hands in just a couple of years... Too easy..that game. Too easy...

Easy if you stick to a formula. Get much more game play out of it, by taking another side. Once I get Europe done with Celtic I normally move onto either taking Aberdeen on or Crewe Alexandria in England (I have a soft spot for Crewe).

I've always tried to take Bradford and such teams to Europe. I like playing in the lower divisions. It was alot easier in CM3 to attract bigger names to crappy clubs, in CM4 it becomes a much greater challenge.

I usually play with Torquay for some reason, guess I like the team. When I got CM4 I got the team promoted to and won the PL in four seasons and I won the CL in the fifth season. I agree with rangers, too easy.....
Can't really remeber my team since I haven't played for a while but both Farnerud and Källström are sure picks. I also remember buying Michael Dawson and he was really good for me.
