I suspect it will become another one of those cups do/don't suck ass things where two camps will exist.

For the record I don't think I'll use it either, but I wouldn't look down on anyone who used it realistically.

No LLaMa will, Julian. If they do, then they ain't. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Really?? Is that going to be put into the rules or guidelines??

Personally I would not really be bothered either way

marcus6363 · 10-13-2006, 03:09 PM

Who decides the rules and guidelines anyway? Is their a Super LLM who has decided rule or is there a group of select individuals who thrash it out in a smoke filled ghetto??

Damn, I was looking forward to sending my spotty youths to some crappy non league club to get experience.

Not so much, Michal? I haven't heard of any, which is where realism and LLM has to be observed in a UK game.

I'm still positive, btw, that FA and SFA Rules don't allow this, which is why the EPL and Belgian Club thing comes from.

I think the whole Belgian feeder thing comes about more as they have laxer (that word doesn't look right - more lax?? whatever) rules when it comes to players getting a work permit. Sure some English lads are sent there to gain experience, but I think it was originally to send someone out there for a season or two while they obtained an EU passport. I could be wrong though. One example I am sure of is Liverpool with a Speedy winger who just spent last season out in Spain specifically with that intent.

Although I'm sure they've got themselves covered from an FA rules POV, I was already aware of Liverpool - Wrexham situation and I'd be amazed if it were unique.

For example, Plymouth have loaned quite a few players to Tiverton Town in the last couple of months.

Arse have Barnet as a feeder club IRL. They are all supposed to have been researched for the game so all of the feeder clubs in place at the start of the game should be true to life

Football Manager 2008 has a database compromising of tens of thousands of players.
