With the way things are going you'll get that promotion despite the lack of high-profile signings. It doesn't matter if you can't get Beckham when you are winning the FIFA cup anyway.

I'm fairly sure someone who made the draw doesn't want USA to win. It's Ghana, who sent the US packing two times in a row, and Portugal and Germany, two of Europe's best, and on top of that, having to travel a grand total of 9000 miles in the process. Also I found this pretty hilarious: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/12/world-cup-group-draw-united-states/

^^^^A Then let's make it less narrow. These guys are obviously a group of impatient penny-pinching pricks that want to be super dominant right now, without giving you a realistic chance (how can a team be successful with such a lovely pitch?). Screw taking the firing gracefully. Throw these rear end bags under the bus (if you can), and get another job. Besides the odds of this happening again if we choose B is still kinda high.

It's time to Enter the Red Dragon. All signs point to Wrexham. Second highest transfer budget next to Torquay, except Wrexham's Wage budget is bigger, and isn't in debt. Also the nickname's awesome

The Turkeys are a stupid name, but at least it isn't the Lilywhites. Would you want lead a team to the Premier championship with a team named the Lilywhites? Also if Torquay does avoid Requlation it won't be because they go bankrupt before they do.

Sad I was too late on putting my name in for director. I'd like to be one when there are openings there. I have no qualifications, but I promise to bitch about how the pitch is so lovely, and that our stadium isn't like Wembley Stadium or Azteca. But as long as we aren't the worst in the league, I'm good. I trust your judgement so choose which Parent club you think is best.

I built a goddamned lower league juggernaut. Actually meant Tackleford, but I forgot the new manager has your talent to work with. I'm sure you'll make the Red Dragons a powerhouse as well eventually. It's okay if you aren't the best as long as you're getting better if at least a little.

(Realistically) Getting shut out was painful to watch, especially at home, especially by six goals, especially by loving Tackleford! But...they are the best team in the league by points, and we are an injured club. At full strength this would have been much closer. A painful loss, but even more painful that we really didn't have much of a chance here, with Tackleford cos-playing as the New York Yankees. (Angry) But you do realize you must make them pay for this!!!

Q1. 900 is enough of a raise. Q2. While three is reasonable, you should be happy with a two year extension Q3. I care little on how you score goals, just score them! Q4. You wanted some young brats to begin with, well what's stopping you from bringing them in?

Holt's shots at you were un called for. I have no idea why he was acting like an rear end after you were positive towards him. And he really shouldn't have: if you notice not only he had lost 4 of his last five games, Acrington was outscored, 9 to 1. All of his losses were shut-outs. However I guess Acrington's lovely performance is why he's acting like that. Is any of his players injured? Also I would like to put my name in for Team President. I kinda know a bit about Soccer(or Football as it's called i other parts of the world), which says alot more about most owners. What I'd do with a pet dragon is make him happy: by letting him destroy everything that pisses him off.

Undefeated in 7 games...that draw against Bury was totally lovely, but you did turn around and out scored them 5 to 1! (you sure did Bury them! ) And even without Harrison it looks like you are in good shape for the long run. But let's focus on promotion. I mean it be awesome if you won the league, but let's get the gently caress out of League Two(we're in League Two right?) and go kick Tackleford's rear end! Of course this is depending on they aren't nose diving right now and get regulated...

Dias posted:Within reach of the Johnstone's Trophy AND the League 2 championship, and it looks like we might get promoted? I'd be optimistic if years of following soccer didn't teach me that I should always expect the worst. Still, hell of a good run so far. We're two points out of first! With any luck we could win League 2! Scott Brown for Manager of the Year! Personally I could care less about Tackleford. They are struggling without Brown, and we are on the rise. Regardless of their success (or lack thereof) we'll mow them over on our way to World Conquest! Also I think it's a good decision to let Walsh go. With 13 injuries over the past 40 months (granted two were the flu and one was food poisoning), he appears to be injury prone. And injury prone players never become as good as they could be. I believe however that you already know this. And the Harrison injury is a major hindrance. KDavisJr fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Feb 6, 2014 |
