I play CM 01/02 and am starting my third year managing Pavia in Serie C2/A. My season tickets' sales, which were around 250,000 pounds my first two years have skyrocketed to 650,000 pounds. Am grateful, but curious as to why this should be. I have made the playoffs my first two years but have lost in the first round each time. Have made no major additions to the team (in fact sold my top goalkeeper to get out of debt) and the board only expects me to stay clear of relegation. Is this just something that happens as the seasons increase or is there another explanation?

The fans probably expect a successful season...

Maybe you could use the money to buy a new keeper?

Or use the money to clean the new debts, and get a fat goalie for free

Maybe they've whacked the prices up...

Aye, at the grand old age of 43 he's still pulling on an XXXXL shirt for Radcliffe Borough.

LLM Hero, of xure :cool:

I'm quite disappointed that I'll likely not make it over to England before Fat Goalie retires. Ever since the legend began, I've placed watching him play on my to-do list...Alas, if he's 43, chances are I'll never have the privilege.

Thing is, Guinness, he's a good goalie. He was capped by Wales, once I think, and was described by Kevin Keegan as the best goalie outside the Football League.

When we saw him playing for Leigh against Telford he had several very good stops, and really couldn't be faulted for the three they lost.

He was 40 at that time.

...and I wouldn't be surprised if he was still available to buy as a Player/Coach in 03/04 :cool:
