Hope that result rubs off on my team

Henchoz - did you see/meet up with Ian?

I see the crowd was about 200; in my game I'm continuing to fill every home game with 1500 which is complete nonsense.

I'm making slighty slow progress and I'm a tad bored with utter mediocrity but I will persist and update at the end of the season.

Just now I'll add the detail that I have maintained a strict policy which I have made absolutely no exceptions for - every contract is part-time.

I'm not sure if it makes a material difference - the vast majority of players I approach are not interested in signing for me on those terms but I'm assuming they wouldn't have anyway.

Admittedly my training schedules don't look part-time but the neighbourhood is delighted that the postmen combine sprints and cross-county with their postal rounds

Anyone else ever gone with a 100% part-time policy?

I have tried to stick to part time when nessescary but I don't think that the game really implements part time awfully well. Most lower Scottish clubs in the game have all full time contracts which are in reality part time (how is a guy meant to live off £80 a week?!?) and when part time contracts do exist in the game, it appears still assumed that part timers do the same training as full timers!

I think that Part Timer's condition should improve less quickly and that there should be a seperate screen to set up their training, as it is usually only a couple of nights a week - indeed your coaches should have to be scheduled to match this. And there should be a new news item about players that you are trying to sign part time - "player x refused to sign because the club's training night's would interfere with his pub darts and quiz nights".

I didn't make it, Andy. We started watching the Arsenal/Bolton game and remembered the Rugby was on so we stayed at home.

Don't mention the rugby :o Boy it was hard being a Scot in Thailand during that first half


You're right about part-time in FM Kevo00 but I'm sticking to it regardless. The minimum I can offer for most contracts is £35 per week and I'm sticking to that where I can. My maximum wage is £50 per week. The board allows more but it's self-regulation see - LLaMa purity (altho' as I said above it doesn't extend to training).

I'll let you know how badly I'm doing at the end of the season

/welshman trying hard not to mention the rugby...

Just hoping us English fools can beat the Jocks. It was hell when your lot beat us.

retired_jsammut

Given the choice i'd rather England lost to Wales than to the Jocks.

retired_losty

The Jocks could beat us 110-0.

They still wouldn't be the World Cup holders :cool:



(Before you start, living on past World Cup victories is what we English do best, OK?! )
