But if nobody applies I think just let a newcomer have them if they want.Quote:

Anyone looking for a friendly just challenge me.
Just taking the reins at Depor - name change in the next couple of days due - have to fathom one first. 16 players only and we're rubbish.
I notice Alberts managed to defeat Pants with the last team I selected. All change from now. First up, a hammering against UCD, then a walloping at the Empress - the novelty being that I'll be on the receiving end.
Decisions need to be made soon or else pre-season will keep dragging. The 1 league game and cups seems to have won the vote but if a 10 team league will take too long then what will we do? Three divisions? I wouldn't be too fond of that idea tbh. Also, does nobody actually want Flynnys?
Don't want them per se, but I'll take some of their players for dirt cheap though? Carrick for say 500,000? ;)Quote:

Assuming Flynny's goes unmanaged, you can do a 7 team top division and 2 first divisions with 6 teams each. The season would end towards the end of February with 1 game per week.Quote:

As long as this restructuring doesn't mess about with the chances of promotion.. I'm sure there is a virtual Maxi out there somewhere. ;)Quote:

Breaking the team at knock-down prices might be a bit of an unfair economy though. Also, as The Bearded One said, there's only us and them left all-time at the top.
I can see lofty, Cici and EAFC_rdfl disagreeing with that set up :DQuote:

So it looks like the only feasible option is to go with the 2 divisions, 2 games a week same as last season?
Also, I'd be against the idea of selling off Flynnys players, it wouldn't be fair.
In the same vote as everybody else with regards to Flynnys.
Would love to see cup games making a come back but agree with you sligoman tis thde only feasible option maybe next season
If the FD teams are aware that making it 1 game a week from next season may mean they finishing top might not mean promotion this season, then that's what we can go with. It's not fair springing it on the top three last season now.
Maybe make it 3 divisions from next season and throw in a cup. 8 team premier and 2 divisions of 6. Or if the interest is not there cut it to 3 divisions of 6. So this year only 1st in division 1 is certain of promotion with 3 going down.
I'm in favour of change next season. It wouldn't be fair on the teams promoted this year, and as I certainly won't be challenging this season coming, I don't mind missing out;)
I will start the season ASAP, just want to double check no one wants Flynnys and they will cease to exist yes?
3002 posts and nearly three years later, season 11 should indeed begin..
FAO Sligoman, the relegation tour is now over :D
It's good to be proven right though:pQuote:

Interesting - will that mean that the Burts get a reprieve, or that Patsys get promoted?
Why not two divisions of 9?
It'll mean we don't have one division finishing two weeks before the other and you won't have to choose between Patsys Fags and Burton Albion.
The manager of Arrow Harps hasn't actually turned up since he was appointed in September and the manager of Mullaney Bros hasn't been online since then either, surely one of them could be sacrificed for the good of the league..?
+1 :)Quote:

Will be playing catch up from the start as usual. Top and tail of the season our rest days. Sligo have a week off mid-season...
Got rid of Liljedahl too for a good price.
Question: I've just acquired a 20 yr old 8 skill (undervalued) for 8.5m econ in my Xpert League. He's that cheap because he's a card magnet. Would you go for developing that skill level (same as a 17yr 5*) or sell for 15m in a month's time and maybe buy a better model?
Keep him.Quote:

I'm divided into both of the above camps.
dfx, I'll take Maynooth off ya if it's accepted in time for tomorrow's match. 3million is it?
3015000 is the offer now yep. At least that + agent's fees and he's yours..
I've never done a VIP deal so not sure, what's agents fee's about?Quote:

I dunno until the bid.
It's a deduction on the direct transfer for the selling club.
i.e. you bid 3m and you pay 3m, we only get 2.75m at most. Sometimes less. That won't be happening :p
