Some tough groups for the English teams there. City arguably the easiest group out of those.

Bayern or Porto probably have the easiest groups overall though.

Mixed emotions here, glad we are having a bit of a cup run and could progress further with the form QPR have started the season but annoyed because it all means more money for Oyston to try and retain his ownership.

Fuck sake, having to pay for the training pitch out of his own pocket? That's disgraceful! I know Peter Reid paid our heating bill and some players' mortgages once or twice but we were in administration and didn't have an owner; that's disgusting. I can't blame him for leaving. Who's favourite for the job?

Well, Owen Oyston is saying his account he uses to pay for things at Blackpool has been frozen due to the court case so he can't pay for anything. So what if he has other means to pay for stuff, it is a handy excuse not to put any more money into the club that he will hopefully lose soon. Favourite to come in? There has been an ever changing list. Mostly full of ex-players who know the shit state of the club, like Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Richie Wellens to the more desperate managers of the ilk of Owen Coyle. There is a general indifference from the fans, we don't really care who is manager until the family is out.

Our caretaker manager really messed up today though. We had four centre backs on the pitch, two were playing as full backs ala Tony Pulis and the two full backs we had on the pitch were playing other positions 0 like defensive midfield. We were lucky to escape with a point. For some reason our best striker was on the bench and we played Fonz up front even though he has shown he is better out wide over the past couple of seasons.

Bah.

I love how there is a team just called "Keith".

Sounds like the most mundane team to be a fan of ever.

You say your youth intake was standard, but if I had one with that many potential 4/5 stars I think I would collapse! I guess the perspective is that they are all half star current ability or so and 4/5 stars in comparatively average for your league, right?

Time for a player cull?

On the player you want to scout's page, is there the option to "Assign a scout" and does it give you the assistant manager's name there as an option?

Otherwise, not sure.

Celtic are out, first year under Rodgers that they've not made the group stage. Instead they head into the EL qualifying rounds now.

Think they stand a better chance there! They were poor against Athens.

For me, @mons does wonderful work fixing names with the real name fix found in the sticky thread in this forum section

Then there are @bolid74 's English league kits in the SS Kits section which are a work of art.

For badges, the metallic logos are still the most comprehensive for me.

The many contributors to the Cut-Out faces do a wonderful job and it is well worth downloading.

Surely you can already do this by starting the game with fake players?

Isn't that slightly different, doesn't that option just change the names of real players to made up ones? (Never used the option myself).
