Anyone else playing on this? Any records? Been playing with Waterford after resigning from Mansfield quite good but its bloody hard to sign players of any quality for more than a few months, my board keeps going over my head when a bid of more than £50k comes in! How can I stop this?

im playin in the Northern Irish league (i think) going ok just now. playin as Queens University Belfast. Won division 2 and am just starting life in division 1.

i can usually keep my players for a year or 2 with no difficulty.

did anyone say it was going to be easy playing LLM-style?

No tips. sorry. just go with the flow...

But I share the frustrations, the new version is tougher than ever.

If the players are any good this wouldn't happen IRL. I also feel Irish players in this game are vastly under rated (in terms of value). MickR im also managing QUB :thup:

Mansfield doesn't seem to be a LLM starting point...

I'd like to give Ireland a go but from what I hear/read there is a problem with relegation from and promotion to the first division in 2009.

But this isn't a tip so I doubt the OP is interested.

Snap, good old QUB!!!

Sick of getting hummered by "greys athletic" in the cups though, and we've got five of them to contend with! (suck-ar5e cups)

I started with Leigh, got them to league 2 then didnt have my contract renewed, went back down a division to Droylsden, got them to League 2 aswell and the same thing happened so I took Mansfield from the conference or whatever its called now to League 1 and then on to Waterford.

I've lost my three best players in the last year for less than £100k each. One of em has just joined palace for £1.5m its just so irritating! Just beat Cork City 5-0 in the cup, nowt better than hammering your rivals in their back yard!
