Eastleigh it is then! Scannell!! ;)

Ok, one more thing, before we start.

Whats the limit of loans you can have in game? As I'm not sure for non-league, but I think it should be 4 otherwise everyone will rely on loanees.

Sound ok?

Oh and yeah, Eastleigh it is. May the FM...begin!

EDIT: One more thing (again)..how long are we going to set for this to be completed? 1 month..6 weeks? Let me know what people want and we'll take a fair average.

EDIT2: Oh and another thing, everyone should be on the latest patch to make it fair, please. Thats 8.0.1, available here

EDIT4: Manager Exp = Auto please

Fred has a summary of the rules etc. up the page or maybe a page back...at end of each season we put up some screen shots to stop cheating going on, but in other instances we just have to trust one another - that is the only way :angel:


As for a time limit - lets go a week first and then we'll have a better idea of how long it may take. Also with loans - i think just keep it to whatever the game lets you have per season...

A week!! Ha ha you must be joking I am on drop down this week so won't even be able to do it on my nights :( :thump:

 

[fredheim_holm]

I think having 4 loans max seems more realistic though, and to be honest I cant see myself making 1 signing this window anyway the way it's going...

My tactical skills better be top notch!

 

[Ricey]

My tactical ability is shocking. I am just going to hope I can blag Frazier Campbell on loan he rules. LOL!

I meant lets all play at our own pace for a week or so and see how far into the season we get - then we have a better idea how many months this challenge may take...didnt mean lets get 4 seasons done this week...im not that fast :D

 

[Ricey]

Sorry he doesnt come mate ;)

Not to you but he will to me when I keep praising him and tell him I love him. :P :guns: :flamer:

4 seasons duration

Only load English down to BSP, nothing else.
Don't load any other 'all players from' leagues.
You can only sign a player if he's british or Irish, but if he is foreign you can sign him if you can scout him, so you must have a scout report for all your foreign signings.
Maximum of 4 loans at one time.
Automatic experience.
Get sacked, you fail the challenge, you cannot start as another manager.

Sorry he doesnt come mate ;)

Seconded :fury:

I've given up for tonight, gonna pop on my oxford in the prem save ;)

45k to spend then. gooooooood!
lets hope u can make achallenge 4 the title tho :S

 

[Ricey]

I beat Bromley 6-1 but other than that am doing ****e!

Signed Rocky Baptiste :D

 

[rich]

i love it wen my computer blue screens on me after drawing wiv wrexham 2-2

even more so wen im on the verge of signing hoops :D

take 2.

 

[rich]

after a poor start (1 wins and 4 draws), where i should/could have won them all, i won the next 3 to put me top :D 8 unbeaten.

however a bad performance against welling in which the team let a goal advantage turn into a loss didnt go down well with the fans!

a 2-0 win (sales finally scoring after over 13hrs of football and a 20% shot on target ratio) in the next against bognar restored confidence and put the blues into 2nd position after 10 games(very close atm as to be expected).

9 of my 12 goals have come from brown which is slightly worrying. i need another goalscorer, im hoping my new signing will be gd but he fracktured his arm or wrist in 1st 10mins of his debut :S signed 1 other player, goalie on loan.

meanwhile in league 1 southend united are top after 7 games- this isnt surprising but matt harrold scoring 3 goals, now that is!

anywho i'd best be goin 2 bed now as its gone 5 :S

 

[Ricey]

I tried signing Matt Harrold on loan but had no joy :(
