Got it, liking it. And you've found a good deal there, Nick!
I've started an online game with my friend, he is Blackburn and I am Wigan.
I also started a solo one with Torquay but I'm not really sure if I'll keep going on it. Really not sure who to start a 'proper' one with...

I played for a few hours over the weekend and I think it is excellent.
Always start Unemployed and load some European leagues. Got offered a job at Coruxo in Spain and looks like I will save them from relegation.
Will look to start a TUFC game soon though.
I love online games. Did one with 2 mates a few years back - I was Leicester, they were Derby and Forest. Was excellent. Playing against each other was quite stressful!!

Doing fairly poorly with my Wigan team. about 13th in the table and not looking like getting the promotion my board demanded of me. I could soon be sacked and join the likes of Curbishley and Dowie on the managerial scrapheap.
Torquay isn't going much better, but picking up Francis Jeffers on a free in the hope he can sort out my goal-shy attack.

What year did you manage that? 2085?! Is that the one where Sills starts there? I sincerely hope you kept him until the bitter end.

It is, and I did try, but he retires after a season. Went on until the 25/26 season, and resigned. Bad decision, only offer I got was Southampton.

Taken Torquay to league one after a second season play off victory. Signed Mario Yepes from AC Milan as well as Maldini (Christian). Unfortunately practically a whole new team as barely any of my promotion winning team wanted to stay on/I could afford to keep.
Starting an Arsenal save while I clear up my ideas on how to go about league one (having struggled a lot in league 2). Could go very low tempo possession based again in the hope that my defence keeps me solid enough to stay up, or could go full out high tempo counter attacking.
