    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    What's even more heartbreaking is that you hating me will probably make the BBC Wales news. Not like anything from up here in the North ever gets reported, yet minor events down South are always on it.

    Nobody in the South has any idea what happens up in the North, nor do we really want to know

    That's twelve players and I know Danielle is going to sign up later on. Not bad The name I'll probably use is Eyeson F.C. (unless anyone has a better suggestion). I want us to start in a lower league, and from my recollection it goes all the way down to Conference North. Would you guys be interested in starting there, or would you prefer to start in Conference National or League Two?

    If you start that low you're eventually going to have to sell everyone because I don't think anyone will be good enough to compete in the higher leagues. Which would be dumb.

    Knowing FM2008, I'm probably going to have to sell players regularly anyway. But I've got a few ideas of how to get around that.

    1. We could have it so that players are consistently renamed - when they leave, we revert their name back to whatever it was before we 'took over' the club, and the person who 'owned' that player can pick a new player to put their name onto.

    2. We have Dan Rai1, Dan Rai2, Dan Rai3, etc.

    3. We rig it so they never want to leave and so that their potential is insanely high. Not sure if this will work, mind you.

    EDIT: Rocket Edge: Which part of Ireland? Also, Psy already got #7 for a squad number so let me know if you want something else.

    EDIT: We are currently a group of, on average, Loyal, Determined players who show strong Professionalism. Sportsmanship and Adaptability aren't too bad either. The ability to handle Pressure will need working on, and we tend to lack Ambition and Temperament.

    Hey, blim, you're originally from Stockton as well.

    Excellent. Keep 'em coming. With Burtsplurt, we're a slightly more well rounded side, with a slight trend towards being determined at the expense of being ambitious.

    I figured that an ambitious player would want to leave EoFFC, so that's why I don't want to be ambitious!

    Is that a subtle way of trying to say that I'm old?
