ten years so far and i've taken emley from D3 to D2!

i don't stay in one division for more than 2 or 3 seasons, promotion or relegation always follows. mid-table mediocrity eludes me.

europe... i've never made it into europe with a LL side. i always seem to hit a wall in D1, when player wage demands start to massively exceed income because of the very small crowds.

dunno how other people get round this. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


You have to self impose a salary/wage cap. If you manage to keep within these limits then some players won't ask for silly amounts and you will be able to sign them. It worked for me at Barnet anywho, but that was CM2. The lowest team I've got in Europe in CM3 was Stoke (started in Division 2) and that was only because I won the FA Cup. Again with Stoke, I had a limit for my wage (higher though with bigger gates) until I signed a free transfer Donald Duck once in the Premier League.

Does starting in Division 2 count as LLM?

Is it the day for naming high profile poofs?

No player naming of any kind please, even if he is a well known player. One becomes two, becomes four players named and so on.

Ditto that, Taips.

Upping 4 month old threads is one way of pushing all the update threads down...

My longest (and still going is only 6 years, but I'm two good seasons away from Europe, so no chance there...)

I've made it a whole one time, with Wevelgem from Belgium. Won the league in my 5th season in charge, actually qualified for the second group stage, where I was thumped by a combined score of 22-1 vs PSV, Barcelona and Arsenal. I guess I made the qualifying stage the next season, but was dumped in the 2nd stage, and no more European glory followed.

My God! My early LLM days..! player naming... tipping... asking if Division 2 is LLM... somebody shoot me!
Now I get commended for my Billericay thread. What a difference 5 months makes.

I wonder if anyone will have the stamina to get to Europe with an llm side in CM4?

Stamina? Surely I meant life expectancy.
