Is the recurring problem with botching chances your guys should have capitalized on a hidden stat issue, a "the computer hates the human player" issue, or something that you're actually likely to see in real-life top-level soccer?

Kind of sorry I didn't make it to this thread in time to throw my hand into the voting, though; I probably wouldn't have won, but if I had then we'd have been looking at the Vatican getting a team next year. Or Arsenal getting an utterly terrible owner who would be impossible to unseat.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible as a league team to schedule friendlies against national teams? When next season rolls round, it might be amusing to go and humiliate entire countries on their home turf.

Does the game have a historical database as well?

It could be amusing to create an all-star team by picking the best players of all time and then having them roam the world demolishing lesser teams like a soccer equivalent of the memetic Harlem Globetrotters.

Just thought I'd mentioned that you missed a bet when naming a facility after Justin Bailey.

It should have been the Justin Bailey Swim Center and Aquatherapy Clinic.

How well does the game represent travel time to and from matches?

I ask because it might be interesting if, for next year's pre-season, you hit the USA to show us what English football looks like.

And then maybe visit some of the other erstwhile possessions. Call it the British Empire Memorial Tour.

How did you not sell out a Champion's League Quarterfinal game against Real Fuckin' Madrid? Are the tickets really so expensive that the good people of Wrexham and/or northern Wales not want to see you beat one of the most prestigious teams in the world in the biggest club competition in the world?

In-universe, there were probably seats reserved for RM supporters to purchase, and some of those didn't sell.

I vote Dreamsicle. We won't be playing this game forever, so we might as well break some megabastards while we're here.

The relevant question then becomes who's next on the hit list once AJ Impy's final promise is fulfilled. Obliterate Man U and Man City, or crush PSG and Real Madrid?

�120 million, because if I know one thing about budgets it's that whatever amount is requested is always a bit more than the amount they'd be perfectly happy with. Spend the rest on improving our facilities to world-class.

C. We need both, so we might as well go for it. China, India or Brazil would be our best bets for our profile-raising club, I think. Put our feeder club in the Balearics, they're practically English anyway.

Obviously whoever wins this year's boon should use it to turn the Son of Brown into a nightmare on the pitch.

Or the guy who won last year's boon should do it. I don�t think he�s cashed it in yet.

Alternatively, it could be used to magically accelerate the construction of our new stadium.

Brony Hunter has my vote, although I do think he should consider Serperoth's suggestion for the statues. Perhaps have them lining the approach to the new stadium, with the God-King's statue as the centerpiece of the plaza directly before the entrance?

EDIT: Also, an alternate name for the stadium, assuming Google translate hasn't failed me: Efail Dreigiau, the Dragons' Forge. Because as awesome as the Red Keep reference is, it's inevitable that everyone will end up pronouncing it as Castle Cock. And because I couldn't find any decent synonyms for either "(some shade of) red" or "furnace/crucible" that weren't obviously just English words with a few letters changed to make them Welsh.

So how much of the economy of this world's Wrexham do you think is related to football at this point?

Heck, you might even be justified in modding the in-game population of the region up by a smidge.

As for Thiago's chant...

"He's our ace in the hole,
Bearing down on their goal,
The man we call Thiago!

While the other teams curse,
He loads their dreams in the hearse
The striker named Thiago!

Thiago, Thiago, he's a wizard with the ball!
Thiago, Thiago, with his boot he'll crush them all!"

Sung to the tune of the Zorro theme song.

Gonna suggest something a tad different for our budget woes: somebody use their boon to alter the population figures for our region in FM. Obviously we still wouldn't have the same sort of numbers as the Manchester or London teams, but between the decade of football greatness and the millions of dollars being added to the local economy directly by the club (to say nothing of the secondary effects as the money and jobs ripple outwards), I'd say an extra ten or twenty thousand people in the region might be a possibility.

On a somewhat related note, when is the new stadium finally going to be done? The massive loan to build it can't be helping our debt situation.
