Shame mate. Cheers for being part anyway. You're more than welcome to coming back whenever you feel

Where you off to?

I'm heading to China for a year so I'm unsure totally of what I'll be doing work wise as of yet as well as free time.

Shame your leaving but best of luck in China.

I visited Bejing Last month, wasn't what I expected to be honest but worth a visit. Rather you than me spending a whole year there though.

I won't be in Beijing but I'll visit, I'm going to be an English teacher over there for a year. Thanks lads, really wish I could hang on but unsure what's happening till I land.

Sorry Lawmo and everyone else I've had to quit the game, I'm moving abroad soon and won't have much time to play the game.

It's been an honour, I've neglected this side moreso than my Hamburg side

Think about it mate , I spend half me days on the road but still manage to pop in here for the sake of it.

Yeah, im self employed so its particulary hard to get the banks to deal with me. Have to have a nice chunk of dough to put down to get any sort of decent place, so everything evolves around saving. Would love to go in the future though. A week or two is the best i could hope for :D

Natwest are really good, I have sent quite a few people their way who have had trouble with other banks and they have said yes and offered to lend even more in some cases.

Cheers man,  but im in Ireland, we dont have Natwest. Theres only 3 banks i think that will give mortgages now. The main bank Bank of Ireland will give mortgages, but you have to have a nice deposit to sway them

Wouldn't it be more fun if we had wage caps? It would force the bigger clubs to have to choose between players, similar squad sizes - it should be a 25 man 1st team squad with 20 youth team (players under 21)

Would make it far more interesting if there was more movement of players between clubs like in real life.

Hmmm....dont know about a wage cap. Might be hard to enforce. The soccermanager game just randomly assigns new contracts now, you used to be able to handle contracts yourself. 25 man senior squad and 20 youth sounds alright though

It forces people to stop hoarding players, you have to have balance like a real team - I'd much rather a balanced game world where you didn't have such huge disparities between the top clubs, there is zero chance to get any player over 90 rating as they all are unavailable.

I understand that , my point is I have only a few kids and to get 20 maybe hard. I have kids in me first team but over the age of 21. To bin them seems unfair.

15 shots on target to their 7.

I need supporting lads as on the verge of quitting.

Pick a formation and stick with it,over the course of the season your results will even themselves out.

Sell a few of your duds also and raise some cash to make signings in the right areas.
