One of the best LLM updates I've read was entirely about TNS, so I'm not sure what you're getting at there. Granted, it would be hard to qualify for Europe from New York though, I suspect
What SSSJJJ is trying to say Charles, I think, is that TNS and Llanelli, being the only two full-time professional sides in the Welsh Premier have a distinct advantage over other teams in the league.

Only thing I'd say to be aware of in MLS as opposed to other leagues is the draft: not that I'm entirely sure of how it works myself...
Isn't that where you find you best players getting dragged off for a couple of years in the military?
Honestly, Charles? No, I don't. Just my personal opinion and I wouldn't criticise someone else for doing it, but I'd feel that the cards were stacked too heavily in my favour and it would get boring very quickly.
For me, currently playing as Airbus, I'd consider playing as one of the top two if I was offered the job due to my achievements with my current club, but personally I don't think it would be realistic for a first time manager to get a job with them, despite their relatively low reputation in comparison to other professional clubs, unless they were already a nationally known figure (which again, I'd never start the game off as).
I'd say that starting with Llanelli or TNS is kinda like starting with Fenercvaros or teams like Rushden in the old versions. They have a distinct advantage compared to other teams.
Actually New York is the best choice for a LLM playing MLS. Not counting the two teams that were created in 2005 (Chivas USA and Fake Salt Lake) they are the only MLS team to have never played in either the U.S. Open Cup final or the MLS Cup final or win the Supporters Shield (Given to the team that finishes with the most points). They are, by far, historically the worst MLS team.
Two other teams have never won any of the 3 pieces of hardware, but New England has lost 3 MLS Cup finals, and Colorado (my team *sigh*) has lost a MLS Cup final and a U.S. Open Cup final. Colorado has the "honor" of being the only MLS team to lose the U.S. Open Cup final to a lower-league side.
