Didn't mean to mention the homesick Brazilian. I do apologise. I also post in the stories section where naming is allowed and therefore it is sometimes a hard habit to get out of.

I am happy to take reminders with good grace but I do find people on here are very quick to jump on your back and not normally as polite as your goodself Mr Barside, hopefully a reference to the overachieving Col U?

Also I wouldn't say it's war and piece as it is no longer that most I have seen in here. I used slightly more text but didn't include league table etc as see no relevance. Who cares if I W21, D15, L10 right? It's all about finishing 2nd surely! lol

I will happily conform with the rules but I don't appreciate the 'sound suspicious' or 'not following the LLM guidlines' jibe.

I had no cash and being able to bring in is it 8 short terms and 4 long term loans or is it the other way round I managed to pick up youngsters from Preston, Stoke, Burnley, Macclesfield, Rochdale and Forest to name a few clubs all of whose youths excelled in the Conference North.

Tell me honestly; did your scouts find all those fantastic loanees and out of contract players? You didn't per chance use the player search screen, did you?

I find it hard to believe you get all those loanees without using player search.

I also know what criteria in FM decides if a Championship player will go on loan to a non league side and it should be very rare for them to do so.

Those things give rise to suspicions you aren't really abiding by LLM rules.

I'm always happy to be proved wrong of course

I'm a bit confused with this one, how can he loan Championship-pedigree youngsters to a team in the Conference North?

I couldn't when I was with Eastleigh.

But like Kriss said, i'll be happy to be proved wrong of course.

Exactly my point in the first reply.

I had a few youngsters from the Championship on my scouting list when I was Eastleigh, but none would even humour the thought of coming to play for me.

One 19 year old striker who had been on my scouting list was released by Southampton, and I offered him a contract (as he has only been on £150 per week at Saints, and my Scouts and AssMan were wetting themselves at the thought of signing him). He rejected my offer, then retired from Football!

fatcatbetsy2007

Did you filter out the players that didn't want to come to you?

In my own view there is no point in having players on my scouting list if they don't want to come to me.

I wasn't aware that I could.

I'll do that in future! Thanks for that

Kept that promise.

Must have felt the need for some primitive humour.
I'm sure Nobby will oblige

Jenninga could be a policitian, completely going against what he said before.
