This is one thing about LLM as defined herethat seems barmy to me. We all know about famous players from reading newspapers, websites and so on - and we don't have jobs in football. In FM, to only look at players your scout mentions supposes that although you have a job (part-time or full-time) managing a football club you take no interest in the news of your industry!
If that's the way this forum enjoys playing the game, then fine, but if anything it's more UNrealistic than realistic.
NB: This "real world knowledge" is different to using knowledge of the game engine, eg that Cosmo Loonpants has a great PA and the first thing you should do is look at Royston Vasey's reserves and sign him

I play LLM, but I can't post here about my games since they don't follow these 'realistic' hard and fast rules about LL managers being completely ignorant (amongst several other things that differ about my games). Glad to see someone calling it as it is.
I like reading your (you here in the LLM forums) stories, but I find it odd that there's not another parallel forum for LLM's that want to play by their own rules that happens in tandem.
