League One (2. Div)
Hey Phi, you can do whatever you want in this game, and I can bearly understand your frustration, but maybe it’s time for a new mission with a different team that you can build up or get back to new glory?
After all you managed the same team for nearly a decade now and with the incredibly high expectations you have (which are certainly justified given such a strong team) you can ultimately only end up disappointed from FMO. The only possible outcomes are performing exactly as your strength suggests or falling short of expectations. There is no such thing as performing "better than my strength allows" for you, because you were already at the very top. I think the idea of taking on a new challenge with starting from scratch in a new country and/or with a weak team and pushing your way back up—might just reignite your drive.

One final thing...

but I wrote at 21.08.2026 22:24, over an hour later:
"the implications for other teams and for England"
You then said that you just repeated that I wrote and 'let's leave it that.'
But you didn't repeat it because I hadn't written it yet.
No wonder I was confused!
Not a direct quote. Still the original point was about peer pressure, you repeating it for emphasis is still peer pressure.
More importantly, you are redirecting the responsibly relating to my quote away from FMO and back onto me (that's why I didn't understand your reference). I repeat the implications of this falls 100% at FMO's feet.
also, FMO has forfeited the games already. I know the pattern
If unhappy, write to them about it.
"the implications for other teams and for England"
Let's leave it at that.

Is a quote from your message.
What is the date and time of my message where you took that quote from?
I just repeated what you wrote...
@Ata

That is peer pressure.
OK.
To be fair, I don't think anybody has applied any pressure.
@Ata
Yes it was 3-1, I mentally switched off at 3-0.
FMO loves peer pressure from manager's like you because it forces idiots like me to field my strongest team season after season, making the CL appear credible when its anything but.
Technically I'm not forfeiting the games as
FMO has already forfeited the games for me. That is the cold hard truth.
I tell you what, going 3-0 down after 52 minutes when you're the stronger team definitely falls into the 'unfair result' category.
Remember the context behind tonight's result. I've been the stronger team in 14 of my last 15 CL Matches (the other game being equal) and I've only won twice. Other teams have similar experiences.
To be clear, the implications for other teams and for England falls 100% at FMO's feet, not mine. We've already felt the implications for many season's now, but everybody accepts it because I keep playing my strongest team.
I'm definitely not going to fall into the trap of trying to qualify for the next round when FMO has already determined that I won't. I am determined to have some fun in my remaining CL matches, if I can't have that by having a fair match calculation then I'll have it in my own way whether FMO likes it or not.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it 3-1?
Of course, it's your decison to forfeit the remaining CL games. You are disappointe but you are also fully aware of the implications for other teams and for England's LW position, so you have all the aguments in front of you.
Out of interest, could you explain what defines an unfair result for you?
