On an Ebbsfleet message board, on of the club's new owners, Jarrad, attempts to calm fans wary of impending meltdown.
"I have played Championship Manager 2003/04 for the last four years and I took Barnet to the Championship by the 2009/10 season, so I am experienced in what is required to run a football club at this level.
"So the current players will be given time before we dabble in the transfer market and sign a new team in order to make it up to the Premiership in the next 7-8 years.
"With regard to signings, Roberto Carlos is out of reach but I did sign Tony Yeboah in Championship Manager before firing my physio due to wage problems."
What strikes me the most about this is that there is not even a hint of sarcasm or self deprecating ridicule. I think the bloke is actually 100% serious. I can just see him presenting a 40 page document of wwfan's 'How to Play FM' tactic set or rashidi1's posts on how the D-Line works. Or maybe ringing Liam Daish "hey Gaffer, why not set Eribenne's creative freedom to 11 and reduce the team tempo slider to 8. Maybe then he might score a few more one on ones"
Anyone reading this want to confess to making this post?

Has anyone got a link to the CV someone submitted to a profressional club applying for a job as manager based on his FM experience??
That one was sarcastic though. The guy did it as a joke, just to see what happened. The chairman liked the joke and sent him an autographed middlesborough shirt + some money for his anti-cancer foundation.
What surprises me is that this guy seems serious xD Would be fun seeing him try to pull off some of the old cm04 tricks. Or better yet, use the game to acctaully find what players to buy xD
"sirs, this player hasn't played all season"
"My sources tell me he's a big talenet, and he has performed amazingly"
"but sirs, that's a game?"
"Silence! We paid £35 pounds each to be co-owners of this club! We do as we please."
Reporter: "In a drastic move Ebsfleet united has bought an unknown serbian. The serbian does not speak english, but myfootballclub.com has announced that they believe he will learn shortly. The 40 year old has been on the bench for the past 3 years and is relishing to play."
Ah that would be so fun..

I did this when George Graham left Spurs. I sent a letter of application to White Hart Lane with all my CM/FM experience on it. They wrote back with a polite form letter, saying they would consider my application. Their leeter is framed on my wall, next to my wedding pictures.
