Thanks for the positive feedback. The story became a bit of a struggle to write towards the end. Lets hope England can replicate the victory in the real world one day (soon)! I have an idea for another story, to be titled "Sliding Tackles", based on the concept of the movie of a similar name, following parrallel paths seperated by an initial twist of fate (the twist being the Managers resignation). I'm not sure how i'll build in the twists and turns yet, but I'm sure something will come to be, eventually!

Bah! Damn it! I tried to start my 'Sliding Tackles' story using my existing game with Liverpool/England, resigning from both posts (not a word about it in the media or from the fans - very disappointing - at least a protest outside the ground would have been nice) then for some reason the next day I was offered the Liverpool job again, but was unable to either reject or accept it! End result, I'm stuck in a never ending time vortex on 21 July 2010!! Where is the good Doctor when you need him? Luckily, part of the plan was to save the game under a different name before resigning, but it looks like I'm stuck at Liverpool for eternity (or at least until I get sacked) as the game refuses to let me go elsewhere!!

Just caught up with this, must say, very well written :thup:

As mentioned, hope you get another one going before long

And you wonder why Pete Best was so worried about a penalty shoot out?!

The Managers Mobile rang at 11 a.m., and it was an interesting call. The Manager had been summoned to a meeting with the chief of the Brazilian Football Federation, and he was pretty sure he knew what was coming. He wasn’t really interested, but he had nothing else to do, and you never passed on the chance for a free lunch (and yes, there is such a thing).

The meeting was long and interesting, and closed with the words “so Pete, we have pleasure in offering you the position as the Manager of the Brazilian National Team. We do hope you will join us”. So now the Manager had a decision to make. He had promised he would sleep on it.

In the morning, after along and restless night, the decision was made. The Manager picked up the phone and ….


The Managers days were long and painful. He really wasn’t cut out for a life away from football. Even the press interest had died down in the days following his shock resignations, and now he was left with no sense of purpose, or even of what he was going to do next, aside from have another drink.

[Well, that’s it folks, my game is now totally stuffed, I cant even make a decision now in the game, so I am trapped forever on July 25th 2010. I’ll never know what became of Pete Best, or his beloved Liverpool team after that. We will instead travel back in time to 2003 and start the adventure all over again – in some other league, with some other team. Until then …. Adios!]
