To be honest, I'm quite happy with my winning ways at the moment so I've not bothered updating mine.

That's what annoys me about FM2006 in general - the effect of team moral. You win a couple of game and you are going on a long streak, but as soon as you lose 3-4 games in a row, I find it nearly impossible to turn the fortunes...
