After months of anticipation FMELC is back and ready to venture into the world of FM06.

12 guys are put against each other to compete in the best league in the world of course the english but will they suceed or fail miserably? well that is what this thread is for to follow the progress of our game.

If you havent came across us before then our website can be found Here where you can follow our game progress even further and find our rules, times and much more.

Listed below are all the guys that are participating in the clan game (No spaces available at moment however apply via our website)

Lee Owens - Plymouth Argyle
Joey Briggs - Aston Villa
Jimmy Cale - Blackburn
Brendan Lacey - Birmingham
Sean Bell - Charlton
Simon White - Crystal Palace
Nick Sousounis - Leeds United
Stevey Toner - Portsmouth
Mike Law - Reading
Ant Banach - Tottenham
Aidan Connolly - West Brom
Simon Murphy - Wigan

So there you have it those are the guys so i'd like to time out and wish them the best of luck

With teams in europe not being able to be taken over this time in the 1st season it is going to make the game much more even this time round and judging by what teams some members have picked it could well be a struggle for them (most probably me ) in the first season but who knows as after all anything can happen in the beautiful game.

Our official game resume date aint until Monday 28th November and we will be playing with the latest patch come that date.

All that is left now is for all managers to introduce themselves im hoping for a long and sucessful career with plymouth and hopefully i can actually do something useful with them

P.S. the links to all your report banners are in our old thread and my intro to be posted tommorow

Plymouth Argyle Appoint Lee Owens as manager

Thousands of Plymouth Argyle fans were today stood outside Home Park waiting to see what new manager would be taking over from Tony Pulis after his contract was terminated after failing to impress the plymouth board with a sucession of shitty results.

To much disappointment an unknown rookie manager formally known as "The Unstoppable" Lee had his name put forward as the favourite for the Plymouth spot.

Days later I recieved a call from the Plymouth chairman and arranged to meet him and moments later i was appointed as the new managaer as Plymouth Argyle the city and football club which i had grown to love.

All i could hear were boo's coming from the crowd but I just brushed them aside as one of my main aims will be to win them over but it will take time.

With Plymouth only just managing to stay up the previous season I have a very big task of trying to keep them up again this season and build on the squad to hopefully make it much stronger in nearly every area as too be honest their squad is pretty awful. But with limited finances I am going to have to discover some special club which deals in cheap imports to bring in at least a couple newbies.

But we all know a manager with my managerial abilities shouldnt find it a challenge at all and should easily conquer anything that confronts him.

To determine how well I do though it falls down to the players i buy and the tactics I use so i bid you all farewell until the season begins and hopefully it will be a first season to remember.

1st season predictions brought to you by Lee Owens

Lee Owens - Plymouth

I never like to predict myself as im usually biased towards me but here goes .

Will be battling at the foot of the table for the most of the season and will have to do a good job to stay up.

Squad will need strengthening in every position if any sucess at all is going to happen.

Joey Briggs - Aston Villa

Will do well not to get sacked in the first season as the last game didnt bring much joy for him until the end.

However a late burst from Joey should see him become familiar with the game and start winning some.

Jimmy Cale - Blackburn

The welsh blood inside this guy drives him to sucess. Was probably the most sucessful managers in both the last game and the one before.

But will little time to play the new game he may struggle more than expected.

Sean Bell - Charlton

A much better team to manage this time round than last so I can see it working out for him. Will take him a while to whip his side into shape though.

Simon White - Crystal Palace

Crystal palace have a good squad for championship football and if he can hold onto Andy Johnson then he should be favourites to go back into the premiership.

To determine how well he will do in the premiership though will depend on what razor aims to spend his money on.

Nick Sousounis - Leeds United

Nick is one of those guys that can just bring an unknown player in and turn him into a wonderkid so expect him to be on his way to greece to pick up some very cheap yet exciting players for the future to improve his side in everyway.

Stevey Toner - Portsmouth

Similar to the club stevey managed in the last game Portsmouths finances wont be great so he will have to rely on the bosman market to bring some players in.

Can see it again taking a couple of seasons to get a good squad together again and then stevey's side will be in full swing to go for more.

Mike Law - Reading

Reading should welcome a manager of mikes ability as he should turn them into a quality side and with leeroy lita ripping through others defences in the championship I cant see why mikes team wont get promoted.

Ant Banach - Tottenham

Got the pick of the crop here when choosing teams Ant did as he's probably starting off with the best team possible. Great finances, not a bad squad what more could you want?

If ant is fully aware of whats going on in the game this time then his team should perish but if the assistant is left to do his dirty work then he could well find himself on the edge come the end of the season.

Aidan Connolly - WBA

Aida again takes charge of a WBA side that starts off terrible but Aida somehow manages to change them into a europe competing team.

Should do well this time round again and may win a few cups under management of aida.

Simon Murphy - Wigan

Last but not least one of the few managers that hasn't been sacked in his whole history of cmelc/fmelc and with his scouting abilities thats why.

I'd expect a wild shopping spree from si as usual or will he this time go a change and not buy half as many? you just never know but i very much doubt it .

So to sum it up im going to get sacked first season followed by joey and Simon Murphys Wigan stadium is going to need to be expanded to fit all the new players in he signs

Knowing me a load of rubbish, plus the chairman will get rid of players as and when he feels like it

Start of a new era
after the highs and lows of life at Boro, Arsenal. and City it is time for a new challenge

dave whelan realising that paul jewell is only good the first seaosn úp decides to act first and worry later. the appointment of FMELC legend simon murphy (legend is some eyes whinging twat in others ) has led to raised expectations at wigan.

when asked by the wigan reader as to his hopes murphyhad this to say'obviously i expect to do well with boro sorry wigan for the year that i will be with them or longer if the town stop playing rugby league and start playing the 15 a side game'

in a drunken stupor, murphy went on to add 'the thing is even though wigan is a dump i like wigan pier and the beer is cheap, the old fart whelan will give me lots to spend and you know how i like spending, vodka gin guiness all will be in great demand and just think how drunk i can get on 15m'

with that murphy was bundled back into spearmint rhinos something about refused credit cards
