    Say it ain't so? Maybe Bluebeard thinks time is up on his Primera Liga monopoly?

    Maybe we should check has Bluebeard ever been in close contact with John Gill's Dundalk..

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    I think it would be a shame if a team like that was left go to waste. I do think, however, that someone just joining that league should automatically get a team like. Ideally somebody already in the league would apply for it (I'm sure somebody must want a team that good) and just give it to the highest ranked manager that applies. But if nobody applies I think just let a newcomer have them if they want.

    I'll take Mullaney Bros FC. Wouldn't be right to take Flynny's I feel.
    What do I have to do?
    My expert rating is now 85. I don't think its going to get to 95 any time soon.

    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.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    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?

    It is possible to have a two series First Division, with say three or four going up (play off between 2nd in both to go up). Prolly only time to have one cup though.

    I'm astonished that nobody at all wants Flynnys. It would be a pity to see the one of only two clubs never to have been relegated go out of business altogether. Them and the Provos top the all-time performance table. It would be a shame. I'd nearly be tempted to go back rather than see them go bust...

    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.

    Surprised none of the 1st Div managers want it. I've been with Pants too long to be dropping it, and I'd imagine thats the case for all the long serving managers in the league.

    Damn right, same with myself. I fancied my chances of taking on Alberts next season (after the next season update). Won't be the same if The Bearded One isn't in charge of them...

    I've grown fond of Holidaysong FC and I couldn't abandon them, even for the bright lights of the premier division..

    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.

    I've been sorely tempted, but will be staying put..

    Maybe another VIP can step in and break the team up if necessary to keep the likes of Tengvall, Konda, Shannon, Killorglin and Carrick in the league at least, but also could someone go back there and stay with them until the new season is created, then there's another season to find someone/someone to be tempted..

    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

    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.

    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.
