We've had Ru$hden, we've had Hull, is it time for another?
As mentioned elsewhere, I am currently managing Weston-super-Mare in the Conference South. 22 games in we are competing well in the playoff spots, only a few points off second place.
However, Weymouth are entirely in a league of their own; unbeaten so far. Looking at some of the posts on CMC, this appears to be replicated across numerous save games. Looks like a new black sheep in the LLM family.
I'm at the end of season two now. They've done great here too. Won promotion with ten points. Now in Conf N with one match to go they've secured playoff with 2nd, five points off the lead.
How are their economy to start with? They've brought in about 15 players, but most on free in my game.
No self-respecting LLaMa would go a team with such an obvious inbuilt advantage, whether it be financial or superior players.
Put it this way, if you started a Weymouth update and got promoted in the first season and again at least once in the next two, no-one would be interested - they are obviously so superior to the other teams that there's no achievement.
Once you've been here a bit longer you'll stop this disagreeing with everything that's said, once you realise there's logic behind what's said by the regulars.
LLaMas don't want to take over teams when it's virtually guaranteed they'll be promoted, we prefer to do it using our own mettle.
If Weymouth are as "good" as they say, then no self-respecting LLaMa will look at them.
My theory is if one does not do updates or tell other LLaMa what team one is managing, it matters not whether the team is rich, or has the best team etc.
I do not check to see whether the team is sitting on a goldmine when I start. However I tend to avoid the obviously wealthy LL teams.
The team I started with gave me no transfer budget and expected me to improve the squad. Had that been the requirements at Weymouth, I would not have rejected them just because they are doing well in a few savegames, I can lose just as easily with "good" teams as bad.
Another club for the LLM blacklist?
