  I do!

• 3. radu  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 2:43 pm

  ok good luck with that…but i think this is just a way to make the managers take smaller clubs…unfortunatelly the mentality is the same at all of them so they all want barca real manchester etc this won t change…i like the middle european teams like sporting tottenham lazio lyon e.g.

• 4. radu  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 2:47 pm

  and if you haven t notice you can really find good players all over the world this guy probably only knows the best players from england spain germany etc but i ll tell you what i found very good players in secunda division swedish division or the maxican championship …matt jewiss i m afraid you haven t convinced anyone with this article …because u didn t say any advantages ….but…whatever

• 6. Romanian MIR  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm

  terek have 2 players who played for national team(petre and pancu) and one who is still playing (margaritescu) but I think that the manager is not going to call him any more

  You Idiot ..

  Another Club Hopper, Did You Lose 1 Game @: Juve & Decided to Pack It In….

  & You Over Hype This 2 Million to Spend You Get Alot More Than That…

  This Is Attention Seeking Noting More, Plenty of Bigger Challanges Out There.. Like Gazza Who Won The Scots League With Drogheda..

• 10. Martin  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm

  c’mon get off his back a little he is only simply tring something different and if it works who knows other people may get inspriaton not likely but it might change a few people’s opinions about smaller clubs

• 11. lil_kick_kid  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 3:40 pm

  Lol, it’s ok to quit if you’ve got a reason to switch teams, but you don’t need to tell the world.

• 12. Matt  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 pm

  Shels being narrow again by sticking with something in the Scottosh league, if youd have read the article youd have seen it was 11 games not 1, pay attention

• 13. Johan Cruyff  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 4:26 pm

  Maybe u quit cos juve stadium decreased to 25000. Now u cant buy 2 many good players and low gate reipets

• 14. Johan Cruyff  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 4:36 pm

  But it gr8 2 manage smal clubs. U hav 2 hunt for young talent and hope they ratings increase

• 15. Johan Cruyff  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 4:48 pm

  Gazza winning scot league wit drogheda? Scotland hav lots of weak teams. Cant see how that so a big accomplisment. There must hav been very bad managers in that setup

• 16. Luke Sefton (forum)  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:18 pm

  Good luck Matt.

• 17. Darren  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:21 pm

  You guys who are bashing him are a bunch of assholes. (Sorry if i cant swear but its true). It takes a lot more skill to manage a smaller club then it does to manage a larger one. Not only dont you have $20+ mil to buy players, you also dont have players that are ranked at least a 90 maybe even an 80 in some cases. The point of this game is to be a good manager and make your club exceed expectations and go further then anyone expects. Not to all look for the best club and then change nothing with them. Thats being a cheat. You arent a good manager. You are lucky someone quit a good club and you got control.

  Matt, I look foward to seeing how you progress with your club. And i commend you for switching from a higher ranked club to a less in the hopes to become a good manager. Now for all you others who are bashing him, how many of you control one of the top 15 clubs? I bet every single one of you.

  Good luck with them….its a great challenge

• 19. Romanian MIR  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:42 pm

  I agree with Darren , I’m managing Milan and Inter on my main account this is true but I have a smaller team , if I can call so my Ajax team and I have some extraordinary achievements after one year of SM but in the same time I tooked a CFR Cluj team , it’s a pretty unknown team here , but they are the champs from Romania and after 3 months I got some great players like Vucinic , Montolivo , Borriello , Aurelio , Nani and now I’m leading the 4th div by far

  This is why I created a new account only for this reason , I’m not a GM so I can’t manage more than 3 clubs but I wanna prove that I’m a good manager , so I’ll try with this team where I have a very small stadium and after every turn I have less money than before
  As I said I try to win cups and the division and I sell some talents for milions although I bough them for 10-100k

  Respect to those who try to make something important with a big club but I hate when they lie about the teams

• 20. simon Bower  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:45 pm

  I agree and like you i have many top teams but decided on celta vigo in the spanish second in GC8. i’m second in the league have no players over the age of 21. will be interesting next season in the 1st but hey if i can stay up that will be a challenge well and truly accomplished.

  It does make it alot of fun and when you beat a so called big boy it means all the much more.

  Have fun

• 21. Romanian MIR  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:46 pm

  In the last sentence I wanted to say with a small club not with a big one cos with a big one , everybody can win trophies

• 22. TJ  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 5:56 pm

  Darren, what you said was basically a load of old garbage. How are you not a good manager if you manage to be a success with a “big team”? I did a treble in a World Championship with Barcelona, winning the Div 1 title, Cup and Shield. Sure, I had Barcelona, but noone else was able to win those things and I’ve also seen plenty of Barcelonas at the bottom of the table due to poor tactics and so on. So don’t mouth off saying that if you manage a “big” team you can’t be a good manager or can’t prove yourself because you can. Just because you have a good squad to start with doesn’t mean you will win all your games or find it easy, you still have to prove you’ve got good tactical knowledge.

  Matt, if you want to take over Terek Grozny then that’s up to you, but you didn’t need to announce it to the world.

• 23. Darren  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 6:05 pm

  I nerver said that didn’t make you a good manager. I just said it takes a little more managering skill to manage a small club. Obviously if you win you are doing something right. And i congradulate you on winning. I just think it takes more skill to have to buy players and have them make a difference then to start with the players who make a difference.

• 24. Matt  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 6:08 pm

  I would just like to say, i didnt announce it to the world, i announced it to the people who are interested in my success or failure, if your not interested then dont write anything.
  I did this because i wanted to share successes, and because Toggs is no longer doing his one with Ericress (spelling) so i am filling the gap.
  Finally Ste chose to submit it on the blog not me, i just sent it to him, he thought it was good enough so thats good enought for me

• 25. Rodpot  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 6:08 pm

  Matt, I SALUTE YOU SIR as well as PITY you. Maybe you and DARREN should take up all the lower teams in the Gold championships and we can loan you all our future potentials and has beens. EVERYONE’S A WINNER!!!

• 26. Matthew  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 6:25 pm

  I’ve got a sneaky feeling the next blog is going to be . . . . .I changed from Andrex to Bounty.

• 27. Adam  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 6:31 pm

  good luck m8

• 28. Steven Parker  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm

  Matt well done everyone is complaining that your not good and saying its hard to manage big clubs i disagree with them although i too manage a Chelsea Barcelona and Real etc they should shut it the amount of times ive been Coventry City and turned them into Premier league teams then getting offered by a failing Reading and help them get near top (of prem) the FEELING IS GREAT FAIR PLAY you hav guts my boy

• 29. Joe Charley  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 7:34 pm

  I have done this many times before :)… why put it on the blog?

• 30. dave  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 7:39 pm

  @26. mathew lolololol

• 31. Matt ? ? ?  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm

  HI MATT JEWISS HERE! (In style of Barry Scott on Cillit Bang advert).

  I’ve been having problems at Juventus and instead of facing up to my problems I’ve decided to run away to the safe refuge of Terek Grozny, a team that only 3 people in the whole world have heard of.
  I had too much money at Juventus! So I decided to take over Terek so I can do my famous Cillit Bang 1p coin test! That’s right! Terek only have 1p in the bank but using my tactical nous and superior man management skills I will soon turn them into the next Real Madrid. My autobiography entitled “Jewiss: Terek and me, the long hard struggle” will be out in all good bookstores very soon.

• 32. Richard Wallace  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 pm

  Nice one mate, seems there are a few more managers trying this. Im trying a similar thing with Stevenage, in the bottom English league of GC16. Much more of a challenge.

  Ive kept my Ajax and Milan teams in 2 older GC’s, but ive dumped all my other Barca, Madrid’s etc in various other SM set ups as I found it wasn’t challenging enough. You know how easy it is to buy the players you want when your a bigger club. Now with Stevenage I can focus on all aspects of the team knowing every decision I make will have a real impact.

  Good luck!

• 33. Sinny  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  Congrats Matty,

  Glad to see your doing a good challenge.

  For all the people doing negative comments can just all back off, he wrote it to Ste, like he said, he thought he was good enough so why not?

  It’s obvious that some people are jealous because they have lived up to the challenge they wanted to start instead of quitting in like 2 games.. so Shels, if you think it’s attention seeking, why not just go ask someone to remove it if you’re so bothered? It seems like your wanting attention creating a reply like that.

  Just ignore em Matty, you’ve done well, keep it up!

• 34. Nathan  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  Quote 30 = the truth?

  Amused me anyway.

• 35. Matt  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 8:59 pm

  good luck matt mate

• 37. Nick Justice  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 pm

  mate good luck with this mate…if i were in GC17 id loan you players but i am not lol so i can’t lol but i wish you best of luck hope you bring success to Terek Grozny and win the league maybe and well tht it reallly lol :D Good Luck ..also one more thing you wont need luck lol your a great manager sure you’ll bring success over the next few seaosns

• 38. Devens  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 9:06 pm

  Good luck with this Matt, hope it comes off for you mate.

• 39. Matt P  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 9:11 pm

  Like Devens pointed out to me, its not the fact they are a small side, its the fact a big side were dropped for them

• 40. Louis Mattis (Birmingham City Forum)  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 9:21 pm

  Hey Matty.

  Top lad. Ashamed to see you leave Juventus, as i wanted them (:P), hope you do a great job with Terk Grozny.

  Should be a hard challenge for you, but im sure it’s a challenge you can conquer.

  Dont worry about the people hating Matt. They player haters.

• 41. ivan  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm

  a club from chechenya LOL

• 42. Ryan Riggs  |  July 22nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm

  You have inspired me to change my ways on this game :O

• 43. Shelbourne FC {Forum}  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 1:51 am

  lol I Agree He Only Left Juve Cause They Got a Stadium Decrease & Was No Longer a Big Hitter & Matt if Ya Read My Comment Again I Never Indicated That You Left After 1 Game More Insinuated That You Left After Losing 1 Game..

  As For All The Other Planks That Have Taken The Oppisate Stance To My Own & Those That Have Down Graded Gazza’s Acheivements With Drogheda YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.. & Someone Gets Some Acheivements In Ths Game & Its Put Down To Bad Managment On The Other Side..

  Discusted At People On Here :Turnsback:

• 44. Damí  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 5:21 am

  Good stuff, good 4 u

  And those of u who are rippin him, stfu

• 45. Johan Cruyff  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 5:42 am

  Shelly Bourne a challenge is wen u take team wit 10000 staduim or less in ENG FRA ITA GER SPA BRA ARG. Start at the bottom an go to the divion 1. If sum one did that then make a blog. Anyway good luck matt gona be hard work

• 46. miky  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 8:11 am

  I gave up most of my big teams, I had 3 chelsea teams 4 real madrid and a few other big teams and i gave most of them up for small GC teams i vary from english 4th division, French 2nd division etc etc. It is more fun when you pick a small team because when you eventually build up your squad and start getting promoted etc you get a sense of acheivment.

  I have a barcalona team and my lowest rated player is 93 i should dominate the league with them but im sitting mid table so i favour going smaller teams in the GC because it is more fun.

• 47. Matthew  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 8:24 am

  Scene from a famous film :

  Matt jewiss is having a drink , drowning his sorrows after yet another defeat.
  Foxy lady comes over and sits next to him.

  Foxy Lady : So what’s your name ?
  Matt Jewiss : The name’s Jewiss. . . Matt jewiss.
  Foxy lady : Now where have I heard that name before ?

  Matt Jewiss is so drunk he hasn’t noticed how foxy this lady is looking tonight. Normally he can’t get near foxy ladies . Never mind.

  Matt Jewiss : Another one , Jeeves. Shaken not stirred.
  Foxy Lady : It’s on the tip of my tongue.
  Matt jewiss : ( thinking to himself) I’ll put her out of her misery. Her squeaky voice is getting on my nerves. ( He starts talking to her ) I’m the not-so-amzing secret agent. And also the manager on Soccer Manager who manages a team for one game but then quits after I lose 1-0 to Real Madrid who score in the 93rd minute. I should really have some patience.
  Foxy lady : That’s it ! I forgot about your management skills . No-one could go with me if they couldn’t manage. Think about all the bills ! I’m pretty high - maintenance , you know . ( Storming out of the bar ) I NEVER LIKED YOU ANYWAY !!

  Good , eh ?

• 48. Tom Greenfield (Forum)  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 10:28 am

  Im zenit st petersburg and im doing probably worse than you atm matt

  Hope to see you next season

• 49. lloyd  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 10:31 am

  well to be honest ur all glory hunters ye having 1 big team might be fun but also the smaller teams are much better to play along with, i currently manage westham and i have completely reformed the clubs players and my next team will be northampton town which i will be making to the premier league within the next 5-8 seasons. i was looking at some of the best players in the world earlier and they were being sold for 96+ million for a normal club that is almost equivalant to a whole squad and this is being blown on 1 player.

  i personally like the achievment of getting a low ranked club into the top flight as i do on the championship manager games i will most probally be bringing in a new signing once or twice a year but with a big club you just end up with hundreds of millions in the bank and all you do is search for 95-99 and theres your list of players to choose from and thats boring i like going for young players who i think will progress.

  […] reading through the comments left within this article I though I would ask the questoin of: What is more satisfying for you in a Gold Championship - […]

• 51. jakeA47  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 11:29 am

  i like to manage a wide range of teams like i have arsenal(a big club), man city(a middle club) and bradford(a smaller club) i find it much more fun to have a range.

• 52. chris stuart  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 12:19 pm

  gd luck dude

• 53. Niel Bassom  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 pm

  well i would agree i actually prefer building teams in the gold championships

  i manage 6 teams and none of them are really household names -

  Sivasspor GC18, Vitesse Arnham GC17, Kaiserslautern GC16, Jaguares De Chiapas GC15, Beitar Jerusalem GC14, Djurgardens IF GC13

  they are easier to manage and buy/sell players than the big teams

• 54. Ben Read (forum)  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pm

  I wnder how long you’ll kepp them

  Nah, seriously good luck and enjoy the challenge.

• 55. Alex Bambum  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm

  He is right.It is more fun managing smaller clubs.Look at my AEK Athens…I spend more time managing this team and learn more about football players.

  Sorry for the double post.I didn’t know I had to give a link…

• 57. Martin  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 2:45 pm

  it takes skill to win trophies with any team for example

  barcelona ( for them to win league they have to better teams like real madrid atletico valencia etc. results over 38 games

  for them to win a cup if they play a semmingly smaller club in the final then surely that smaller club cant be bad because the club have knocked out bigger names in earlier rounds

• 58. ian  |  July 24th, 2008 at 3:12 am

  i set up a 2nd account to mananage my home town club hartlepool utd i must agree its a challenge as u dont have the money to start 2 to 3 mill only and with a gate of 7800 cap you dont get the money commig in so you have to be carefull, i had to sell about 8 players to make 2transfers 80 and 83 rating but the challenge comes from some possible targets turning you down as they dont want to drop divs,, but on the other hand if you do a good job other teams come in and ofer you a job
  but before you say owt i have also got barca, everton [twice], and rangers, and i agree you do find ,i tend to go for the same players with these clubs because of the money and iv won trophys with these teams
  but hartlepool is prob more enjoyable playing wise

• 59. Shelbourne FC {Forum}  |  July 24th, 2008 at 6:47 am

  If Jewi Ever Wins The Champions League With This Team, I’l Pay For his Gold Membership For Life, .. Maybe I Should Take Over Terek In GC-19 ?? Who’d Like That….

• 60. Shelbourne FC {Forum}  |  July 24th, 2008 at 8:27 am

  Jewi Just Admitted To Me That He Got Bored of Juve

  It’s All Coming Out Now

• 61. matthew  |  July 24th, 2008 at 10:06 am

  Whats the point in having a GM if you get bored ?

• 62. Sujan  |  July 24th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

  good on you, i am also thinking about managing a small club.

• 63. Vinayan  |  July 25th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

  Hi Matt,
  I too agree with you..I started with Wigan. My second team was Boca in World Champ. There i built a team of good young players. But when an offer came from Div1 Team Lyon i quit Boca. This is the worst decision i’ve made in SM. I know how much satisfaction you get since i manage Luton Town in Div 4 (EnglishChamp3)…A 1-0 Win against Cardiff is much satisfying than Lyon beating Barca 4-0..

• 64. Rob  |  July 25th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

  Yes, I agree. Matt u are a hero

• 65. kit  |  July 25th, 2008 at 7:29 pm

  hey ur points r correct but its a stupid move i can bet all the comments received hav never heard of this club juventus is way better so i think the better the club the funner the game

  Hows Terek groznye Doin These Days Matti……

• 71. boat  |  October 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pm

  I don’t think it’s a wise move. If you wanted to manage a small club you could’ve taken one in another GC.

• 72. boat  |  October 29th, 2008 at 3:43 pm

  This article whas posted on one of my first days at SM. I remember reading: would you swap terek grozny for juventus?
  I thought terek grozny was a name of a person
