Hi, I've successfully installed the game, installed the 4.08 patch, and began to play : so happy. I prepared a good team, a good training program, put a lot of player on transfert list... it took a long time, I played two or three game in my french championship and I saved the game. The next day, I load the saved game and.... I can see my team, with the players I bought, me training program, everything is all right but.... i don't have any game to play in my championship, my calendar is empty. It contains only the national cup games, but no championship games. No interest to play anymore. Did somebody face the same problem? Thank you!

If you're doing a lower team save with a small budget raid the lower Scandinavian leagues. There are some premier league level players in there for like 50k and below. Eg. Stig Krohn Haaland, Espen Naess, Tobias Hysen, Eirik Hoseth, Brevik Larsen, Moldskred. Also every January look through all the premier league teams reserves and sort by contract expiry, easy way to get good youngsters for free.

After I download and extract files, mount using IZarc, when I select SETUP.EXE I keep getting "Error Reading Setup Initialization File", have tried downloading on different browsers. Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.

In response to Sam - I've been having the same fixture problem (nightmare). Can you clarify the steps you took to get it to work with fixtures please? It sounds like DL and install this game, DL 4.0.7 patch and run, then run in compatability mode as Windows XP Service Pack 3, run as admin?

I just figured out right now, in response to my previous comment, that the issues with these files was due to authorization and compatibility, so I ran the damn thing on WinXpSP3 and "Run as Administrator", same thing with all the patches, incredibly annoying, but finally running smoothing, hopefully no more damn surprises, but I do like to have that original Eidos 400mb patch

This version is so fkn broken: the installation was a hassle error messages kept interrupting the process, so I reinstalled it like 5 times to figure out what´s the problem. Secondly when I got it installed with only one error message but got through it by clicking retry. Also I couldn´t install it with Daemon tools, it nearly broke my computer, wtf! So I burnt the damn thing on a dvd and ran it from there. When all that was done it said "wrong disc" ok, so I cracked it, it finally got working, started a new save, spent hours on training schedules etc, so when I loaded it up a second time ALL FIXTURES and PLAYER HISTORY was ERASED, then I used this sites patch, the crap refused to fully patch the game, AGAIN error fkn bullshit, so I went and got the 4.0.7 No Data Patch, worked fine no issues, but that still didn´t solve the issue of fixtures, history etc disappearing again when loading up the save file. First I thought it was something to do with location, since the save file can´t be accessed outside the game, it´s simply NOT THERE, can´t find it, so I created a folder on my temp folders, but that didn´t solve the problem, so I tried running this fkn mess as "Administrator" and it worked, WTF, doesn´t anyone have the Eidos official 400mb patch file, I have yet to play through a season yet, then to this bullshit killing valuable time, why isn´t the patch listed here working, anyone else with similar problems?

This version was so full of bugs that Eidos ended up releasing a 400Mb patch to its 250mb game.
Matches which was counted wrong, the Danish league only played every second season, the moral was always poor or very poor, after one year most clubs were bankrupt and still bought players to 200 mio. When I played Manchester United and there was CL finale after the players were drafted to World Cup, well, then you don't have your players to the finales. If your club and nationteam has fixture on the same day, your team play the national teams match. It was a good season for Luxemburg when Giggs, Ronaldo and Van Nielstelry played on the national team of Luxemburg :-D

First, thanks for making this available! Whenever I installed this one and try to start it, it always gives me the error message "Wrong disc inserted". Still trying to find a way around this, no luck so far.
