Heading Northbound

Man, I wish I had a manager of the yard award.

Or a yard to manage, come to that. All we've got is a dusty corridor. Yard? Luxury!

Is the title tautological? Surely you would be "Heading North" or just "Northbound"?

retired_pmetzger1 · 11-30-2007, 03:45 PM

WTF would you use it as a noun, freak?

Am I the only one to think this save sounds a tad suspicious.

Fair play if it's all geniune but instant promotions with only 1 defeat and an incredible amount of money made (St Albans making £250,000 a year was it from £100k down to £400k up and it wasn't even the team that got Spurs in the cup).

Despite this he's also been sacked twice. I may be wrong but it seems to be a save riddled with coincidences if all LLM values except the feeder club are being adhered to.

Your not the only one Jenninga. I have no grudge with anyone being successful but from reading the OP it's just smells... fishy.

Either way, good-luck chreurope in your future career as an LLM and remember to DROP THOSE PARENT CLUBS!!

-Will I win the Blue Square South for the 3rd time?

wouldn't be surprised.

-Will i get released again after 2 years when my contract expired, or will they renew it?

*shrugs*

-Was i too successful at Sutton and St.Albans?

Of xure.

Sorry, but I cannot believe you went through a season twice only losing 1 game, and making so much money in the process.

I've been lucky enough to find a copy of the next update! It was on a disc I found on the train as well as data for 25 million people.

It reads:

I started off with Bedford and the first thing the chairman allowed me to do was invest my £150,000 tranfer kitty in Northern Rock. The following day they were bought out by a consortium of Flying Pigs, who'd earnt a fortune in novelty short distance flights and I found myself £8 million up.

I found myself in lengthy negotiations with Arsen and Chelsea for 4 magic beans up for sale at a Danish second division side.

I managed to outbid them using all my transfer kitty to secure them. At the start of July two brazilian international strikers, a spanish playmaker and an italian centre half emerged from the ground match fit.

However, the new additions were unable to find a place in the team after I had promoted the Under 11 girls side that had cleaned up locally the year before.

All of them made the grade playing in all 62 of my matches as I won the league, FA Trophy and FA Cup beating the Old Trafford Devils 42-28 in a pulsating clash with my goalkeeper scoring two touchdowns.

I was offered the England job but turned it down which was a shame as the next day I was sacked by Bedford, whose Chairman was disgusted with my failure to win the Champions League dispite not entering the competition.

LOL!! Hey, look for my name on there and go ahead and give me my update as well would you? Being that I'm from the U.S., your reference to American Football was classic, thanks for the laughs at work!

What's your thread called? I'd be happy to amuse myself in such a manner.

I'm English but a Bills fan. We are not a laughing stock this year. Hooray. The Dolphins are. Hooray. Anyway before we go off topic ...

There's more than just me wondering about this save. I'm sure I've missed bits too but no doubt it'll all be confirmed as geniune and I'll feel totally stupid when I realise King Kong is in the game and he does have 18 and 19 respectively for dribbling and creativity.
