I think their may be a few managers named "First Name Last Name" on the manager history screens

At least I admit to doing it, if only to learn from my mistakes and also the simple fact - I hate losing

Been stuck on one match for 3 hours. I keep reloading it but I just can't win it. Fuck sake, gonna have to go on the editor and put Ronaldo on a free transfer so I can win this game.

Almost like an emergancy loan?

Not cheating by me, totally fine. Crack on, as long as you're learning.

Some cracking players on the transfer list in my Dover 2017 game. Chelsea have A.Valencia listed at £1.5million aged 31, still absolutely quality.

Shame none would consider talking to me, not surprised mind - I do play at the (extended) Crabble Athletic Ground, now holding 12,000 SEATED spectators.

A few class players I have had in the past who were sold on for a few million when I was further down the leagues have legend status, hopefully the club don't decide to name a new ground after them as they are mostly Romanian regens! Happened on 2010 when I was managing Spurs, with an illustrious move to the 'Glen Hoddle Stadium'.

But aye, the amount of quality regens available is insane. The Brazilian U20s are unbelievably good - I'll chuck up a few print screens later.

Just finished my first season last night as Gateshead manager on the new update and won the league with record points total.

Top players were Femi Orenuga, a loan winger from Everton, and Phil Airey, who was already there on loan from the mags. He got 45 goals in 35 games, outstanding season for him.

Now I've got to completely overhaul my squad on a small budget for the new season.

My keeper should be alright (Alex Cairns, young keeper from Leeds who cost just 1k) as should my centre backs, Ben Clark and Carl Magnay. They are at least league two standard. Kris Gate in central midfield is also good enough, as is Pablo Counago up front but after that I need to strengthen.

Can't wait to get in from work to play!

Fergus Bell is a canny striker anarl alongside Pablo Counago,
got Ahmet Brkovic as a right winger and he is canny too, both available on free transfers at the start

Has it improved much with the patches? I was loving it, but was annoying how many 3-2 games you'd have. Also had several games where id go 3 down and win 4-3.

Might get back into it as I've just finished one of me commissions
