While playing FM08 today and setting up a couple of tutors for my youngsters, I had the idea that team bonding should play a much more important role in the game. I've set up a four or five tutors in the hope that the players will learn to love each other, my idea is that a close squad who work for each other is going to help results.

You see the likes of Roy Keane taking his players out to team bonding events and I feel this would be a good addition. Team spirit is a massive part of football, look at Chelsea or Arsenal - all the players work for each other and seem good friends. It can only breed success.

If we had more options for getting the team to be friends, I think it would be good. Things like taking the team paint balling etc. Obviously, some players would have a personality clash and perhaps it would not be so good for those players but if all goes well, the team have a higher determination to succeed for their friends.

Good Idea? Rubbish? Disscuss.

Sounds like a bit of a gimmick. Not sure there's a place for it in the FM series. As for the "learn to love each other" part, I'm saying nothing

I knew somneone would say something about that!

I think I kind of agree. When I had the idea I couldn't make up my mind whether it would be gimmicky or not. I think it could be but the again if it was done right it may avoid that description.

I think it'd be a good little addition, I had a similar idea myself.

even if it was just an option to pick to send your team on a team building exercise, and then the assistant reports back to your inbox at how it went.

Like Leicester in La Manga.

Schedule a Christmas party for the team. What's the worst that could happen it's not anyone would be charged with rape or anything.

Let's change that to "alleged" rape

True. No charges yet just suspicion.
