Enjoy that kid while you can. He's gonna get poached by a Premier League side in two years time for sure.

France and Argentina get groups they'll just stroll through and the US gets the group of death. Fantastic.Arquebus posted:As an Australian, it was already going to be unlikely we'd see a draw that didn't leave us doomed from the start... though I'd probably trade a finger to see us beat Spain, or at least to seriously injure Fernando Torres.

I mean all I'm saying is that an injury to Torres, especially during international duty, is worth no more than maybe a sprained ankle on your part. He does it so often that he's devalued it.

You were fired because you asked for a lower points total at the end of that meeting. I guess the game took that as a "demand". Just reload and don't do that. B.

Wrexham seems like the best choice here, both in terms of actually being the best choice in the game and in terms of plot.

(Assertively) While I agree that the team needs to improve its scouting knowledge, we have our finances to consider. I authorize the hiring of two additional scouts. (B)

I hope both Wrexham and Tackleford get promoted, if that's even possible. We get the league lead and they win the playoffs? I want to milk this rivalry for all it's worth.

1. (Firmly) C. In light of the recent promotion, additional spending on coaching is necessary to compete at the next level. 2. (Passionately) B. Our pitch must be better than that of Tackleford's! 3. (Firmly) B. See my answer to #1, but increase "coaching" with "youth". 4. (Idlely) B. Sure, doesn't cost that much. 5. (Firmly) C. Additional spending will be needed at the next level but let's keep it reasonable.

The pitch will be in terrible condition by April 10th. It will probably change from bad to terrible condition well before that date, but that's the condition it'll be on that day.

Yeah, I think the 4-5-1 might not jive with your squad's level of talent. You should look into returning to the 4-4-2 or maybe playing an anchor man. 4-3-3?

(Calmly) Ok. 6-nil at home against Tackleford of all teams. That's not good, not good at all. But the injuries are mounting up and they're spending four times we are. I'll give you a pass this time. (Firmly) But ship up, stay out of the drop zone and don't let that happen again. Or you're shipping out. Dias posted:...so, this is the one they bring up every time the rivalry is mentioned, right?

(Calmly) I'll offer you a contract of £900 a week for one year. I request you focus on bringing in youth talent--- why else did we invest in the new youth development center? Focusing on scoring from set pieces, however, is not of major significance to me.

If I actually win the pitch condition guess contest, I believe I have the right to become team president. Hell, my guess was a joke because I assumed it would have gotten to terrible months ago. Of course, if I had a dragon, I'd use it to periodically burn the Tackleford pitch, maintaining it at a worse condition than Wrexham's. Even when Wrexham's pitch condition is Terrible, I'd keep Tackleford's pitch at the mythical "Dogshite" level.

habeasdorkus posted:eta: Also also, when I say that Al-Beloushi's been a different player for Kuwait, I ain't joking. Over 15 recent games with his national team he's got an average rating of 7.35, which is very high for any player and ludicrously high for a goalie, he's making on average two spectacular saves a game with that average. He hasn't had a game where his rating was below 7 in literally a year. He's been decent for us, but nowhere near the stud level he's played for Kuwait. And it's not like he's only playing scrub teams, he earned an 8.9(!) against Chile last year. For us he's been perfectly average, a 6.68 rating with only two games above a 7. I'm thinking I should shift his play style so he's not trying as many long balls, that might be one of the key differences.

1. B. We need to increase the budget a little to keep up with the new league, but our income just isn't sufficient to justify a large increase at this point. 2. Again, B. We need to keep an eye on our finances. 3. I feel like this might end up being a straight B vote. The club needs to start making more from TV money before you can get all of the transfer money for team purposes. 4. B again. Mujkic is brilliant, but don't blow everyhting on it. 5. Four years, 1000 a week, yearly salary increase of 10% and promotion salary increase of 25%.

I was in attendance for the game that this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06LdqVfMBho Now you might be thinking, "JT Jag, are you saying that the most embarrassing thing you've seen in sports is that the Jaguars defense allowed that to happen to them? Three laterals, and Aaron Brooks of all quarterbacks was responsible for the pass! This wasn't even the Drew Brees Saints!" No! The most embarrassing thing is that the kicker, John Carney, missed the extra point. The Saints lost despite all this.

1. B. Increase the wage structure gradually to be more competitive with the rest of the Championship, but be careful not to drive us into debt. 2. B. 5.5M and above is a lot of cash at our level. You could buy a lot of new youth players with that sort of dosh. I'd take that. 3. B. Don't blow everything up for Mujkic. I want to keep him but if you give him too much money it'll risk ruining our finances. 4. B. Our scouting and youth development is the club's strongest point. Any measure to strengthen it is warrented.

Zeroisanumber posted:Yeah, seriously. The last time I remember an NFL game failing to sell out was sometime in the early-90's. NFL games fail to completely sell out all the time, if your definition of "sell out" is "fill the stadium to capacity". And some teams struggle to even fill 70% of the stadium reliably. The San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been particularly bad offenders recently.
