You got a screenie of his stats? </BLOCKQUOTE>

Sure thing.

There you go
Really nothing special at all, I think it might just be my Assman being feckless, but we'll see.
Also picked up '07 favourite Paul Conlon who again doesn't look that great but my Assman thinks he's good enough for the Premier Division too.

Stats-wise, neither looks great but then again, it is only Northern Ireland.

Only time will tell.

Conlon does look like quite a decent lower league target man though. :thup:

This year I've decided to take part in this excellent challenge, which will serve as my LLM-save too :thup:

I took over a tiny team from Istambul, Anadolu Üsküdar 1908 Spor (short A. Üsküdar). Stadium capacity is 4000, financial status OK, no staff, board wants to attempt to avoid relegation. We have two affiliations, it looks like the standard setup for Turkish clubs: a parent and a feeder.

The Turkish Second League is surely the most complicated championship in Europe. I had to draw a graph to understand what is going on Looks like a hellish place, too

Meet me:

We are celebrating the 100th anniversary for the club. Which has a nice void space under the Honours page :p

Chairman wants the club "to move gracefully into their second sentury" :eek:

retired_clement

good luck emgergo :thup: I remember that in CM 01/02 it was possible for the board's confidence to drop from delighted to angry after one loss in a derby match in Turkey, wonder if it still works that way

Magni, Icelandic First Division 2009

After just barely surviving the previous year, the board decided that the going hasn't been tough enough and slashed my wage budget by half, also lowering the maximum wage I could offer to 20 pounds per week. It was rather unsurprising that we had a terrible start, failing to score in the first 8 games, and this time there was no Tindastoll to book the last place far in advance. We managed to turn things a bit in the second half of the season, and it again it all came down to the last match, only this time a draw wouldn't be enough. After a nail-biting 90 minutes we just barely managed to overcome Völsungur by 2 goals to 1 and stay up.

League table - same position and points total as last year, defence a bit tighter :thup: but up front we were awful :thdn:

Best players:
Þorbjörn Atli Sveinsson - after Ásgeirsson picked up a serious injury, Þorbjörn stepped up and scored the crucial goals that kept us up.
Björgvin Freyr Vilhjálmsson - decent season from the defensive midfielder.

Thanks :thup: I've just looked at the rivals list. We apparantly hate half the teams in Istambul

Emm

Can you show us a pic so we can see what you mean please :thup:.

Just referred to the fact that the team has won **** all this far. Not even a third tier podium on the Honours part of the history screen.

Sazchu!

Didn't you have any problems with players registration for the Turkish second division? I've had a news item coming on 1st July to register players. No chance to register the new signings since then, although the rules say, registration is continous from 1st July to 1st September, coinciding with the summer transfer window. All the other teams have this problem too. This might be a bug, but I'm not sure.

At the current stage about 40% of the league's players are ineligible.

Any ideas from anyone who has managed in the Turkish 2nd Division?
