if the scandel sends the clubs down to seria c2.
what will be the LLm rulingt on managing them

The Header said it all (as usual):

Quote:

The playing of the game falls into two categories:
1) Choosing the Team.
2) Playing the game.

Choosing the Team’s easy enough. Look for any Nation with more than one Division. Look at the Clubs in the Lowest Division. Choose one of these Clubs.

By definition, Lower League management can only involve Teams with more than one Division, but it’s been a sort of unwritten rule in the LLM community that playing a Club from a Nation with only one Division will be tolerated in the LLM Forum.

Certain Teams are best stayed away from because of unusually high reputations or financial state. These included Peterborough in CM3, Rushden and Diamonds, Fiorentina Viola, and the like. They’re not generally played by regular LLaMas, but may be looked upon as a good introduction to the LLM way, given that they give a slightly easier ride than the real LLM Teams, like Leigh RMI.

A big no-no therefore.
I sure hope they get relegated to either Serie C1 or to Serie D to prevent all those newbies/windups about the big Italian teams in Serie C2

What did I say in IRC?

I also hope they get pumped to Serie C/1 or D. Because otherwise playing in Italy in FM2007 is going to be pointless for the first few seasons.

Phew. I thought it was because of my lack of English language skills, beign a non-native, that I couldn't get a clue out of it. Glad that isn't it.

I think it had to be something like this.

I think you'll get a lot of slagging. We as regulars won't accept Milan or Juve as a proper LLM team of which we would like to see updates.
Ofcourse a newbie could use it as a learning experiment to take control of those teams and play strictly to the LLM rules and guidelines to get your way into proper LLM, but it's just like Giziar said in the quote he posted, teams like Fiorentina, Rushden in previous versions, Gretna in 2005 and Weymouth in FM2006.. well, they do/did have massive amount of money for the leagues they play(ed) in.

Gretna, Weymouth, Rushden - yes! Juve, AC Milan - no! My 2p.
