Hey everybody. This is my first signup, so please be patient, but I hope to make it work.

The Story

At the latest meeting of the G14 at their secret global domination headquarters, having released a pack of bloodthirsty pitbulls on an eavesdropping Michel Platini, the head honchos of Europe's (apparantly) top 18 clubs eventually get on the major item on the agenda. How to better exploit a growing Asian market?

Silvio Burlusconi, rises to address his fellow bigwigs:

"Friends, Romans, fellow millionaires, since I, err... found myself having a little more time on my hands than I envisaged since last May, I have devoted myself to this issue, and think I might have an ideal solution.

As you know, in previous years we have each launched out own summer tours throughout Asia, with varying degrees of success in attracting Asian consumers, er.. fans. However this has sometimes left the players tired for the start of the season and upset domestic fans. Therefore I propose a better solution.

Each of one us invests heavily in an Asian club, sending some players and staff there to improve the quality, and investing considerable funds. In exchange, the grateful clubs will promote and sell our clubs memorabilia, and adopt some elements of our clubs traditions."

(general murmurs of approval)

"Having conducted a quick survey, it would appear that the Indonesian League could easily accomodate all our teams, as well as leaving some indigenous teams, lest we be accused of swamping the league with foreign investment. Plus it's the 4th largest country in the world and a relatively untapped market."

(Universal applause from delegates. Silvio smiles and bows modestly.)

"All that remains, brethren, is to select a team each..."

The Rules

18 forum posters can sign up. Select an Indonesian team from the list below.

Once I have all 18 posters, a random draw will be held, to determine which member of the G14 will be a feeder club to each Indonesian club.

Once the clubs have been officially linked, all posters must submit the following information for their club:

Club Name: (must combine elements of Indonesian/G14 club - Persija Gunners, Arema Milan etc)
Kit Colours: (also combining the two clubs colours)
Created Assistant Manager: (Indonesian)
Created Goalkeeper: (Indonesian)
Created Outfielder (Indonesian)

In addition, each club must select:

Manager (from the non-playing staff of your G14 club, anyone except manager/ass manager)
34+ year old player from G14 club out for a final payday
20- year old player from G14 club (not a full international)
3 x 19 year old players from G14 club on season-long loan (no full internationals)

Finally, the Indonesian League is split into two groups, so 9 user teams will placed be placed in one group and nine in another. The top four from each group play off for the title.

Hope that doesn't sound too confusing. I'll put up a full submission form after everyone has signed up and I've drawn the G14 clubs.

Firstly please pick an Indonesian club. Remember I only need 18 clubs chosen, and your choice of Indonesian club does in no way affect your G14 club, since this is a random draw.

Indonesian clubs - Arema, Deltras, Persema, Persib, Persija, Persikota, Persipura, PKT, PSDS, PSIM, PSIS, PSM, PSMS, Semen Pagang, Persegi, Persekabpas, Persela, Persiba, Persibom, Persijap, Persik, Persita, Persitara, Persiter, Persiwa, Persimin, PSS, Sriwijaya FC.

(For the record, the current G14 members are Juventus, Ac Milan, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Man Utd, Marseille, PSG, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, PSV, Porto, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen and Valencia.)
