Cash pot wise I'd say Arsenal should be less than Spurs, I'd perhaps give the lesser clubs a touch more too (50m), but your call.

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:29 am

yh 50 mil will be fine .

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:33 am

Hero, I thought the Spurs side is better on paper than Arsenal, but if people disagree happy to change it. And I didn't want to make the budgets too high was all, again, happy to change it if others think they should be increased.

Need to find CF and GraemeSwann so they can select teams and we can get the show on the road. Bit busy during the day, but tonight I'll have loads of time.

If you've signed up to do a page, can you make it, even if it's blank so I can sort out the homepage tonight please, cheers.

by Marky Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:35 am

The only exception to this is the players which have been released, who are no longer part of the squad

That would leave me with a problem - Rob Green was released and I'd have no replacement keeper in. I'm not playing Ruud Boffin. His name is ridiculous.

by Bull Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:38 am

indeed marky think you will win Wink

Then sign someone in TP's or domestically.

Carlo Nash is available from Stoke

Bull, with your squad, you would be the very strong favourite. But if I have a decent budget and the chance to sign some players before the first fixture then I could give you a good game.

To elaborate, I move for whatever the squad is on the last day of the season be the squad you have, and maybe you can choose who is released?

Krill, Collocini, Cabaye and Cisse Smile

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:43 am

LAMBERT TIME!!!!!

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:44 am

do villa have heskey or is he a free agent

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:44 am

Transfers have to be realistic, it's in the name Bull.

And you'd just have to sign someone from foreigns, yeah, sodhat. It's what West Ham will presumably do this summer anyway.

by Gregers Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:44 am

Sod Tim Howard may be available from Everton. Id say youd have plenty of options

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:44 am

Sodhat, not a bad idea actually.

Ok Trebs, can I get my squad page up at some stage then?

by sodhat Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:46 am

Ah ok, well if you like the idea then I'm happy to go with that!

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:48 am

Yeah, start working on squad pages now.

A revision to the rule, squads are whatever the were on the last day of the Premier League (or Championship) season.

by Gregers Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:54 am

Budget wise I think Everton and Newcastle should have more than Liverpool. Maybe drop Pool's to £10million?

by Marky Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:56 am

I'd anticipate Stoke's budget to be £30m-£35m.

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:59 am

Tried to accomodate what everyone said:

Any better?

Liverpool - £15m
Norwich - £35m
Stoke - £30m
West Ham - £40m
Arsenal - £10m
West Brom - £30m
Southampton - £40m
Everton - £20m
Fulham - £25m
Aston Villa - £25m
Chelsea - £0m
Man United - £0m
Newcastle - £20m
Tottenham - £10m

by **Hero** Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:03 am

Trebs, how come you chose Liverpool to manage?

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:03 am

I wanted a team that could get somewhere with the right deals but weren't quite there. I didn't want a United or Chelsea as I wouldn't be achieving much if I won the league, but for Liverpool, with the right potential could get somewhere.

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:12 am

Right, I'm out for a while, If CF or Graeme show up ask them to select a team, if I can get all the pages for tonight I can jazz up the homepage.

Hero, would you be able to make a sub-section within this league for the clubs please?

by sodhat Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:17 am

When you get a moment Trebs, can you confirm squad limit?

I have a bit of bloat to remove from my side...

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

God my squads terrible

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

Yeah, it's 25

Noticed a few other teams have more than 25 too, they'll have to be trimmed down before the league starts.

by Gregers Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:19 am

Think i'm at 23, went on transfermarkts squad for Everton

by Marky Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:21 am

Mine's at 28, like Gregers I also used TM, but if we've got until the start of the season to get down to 25 then that's alright.

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:21 am

No, you have to start with 25 Marky

It's to prevent the releases page from getting crazy.

by Gregers Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:22 am

I'm still going to release a lot of my squad trebs

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:23 am

Right, now I really am off Laugh

by Marky Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:24 am

I've cut mine down to 25.

Gregers, is Darren Gibson available?

by Gregers Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:37 am

Yes he will be marky, is shawcross available?

by Bull Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:38 am

Does kyut still count ?? He was confirmed to have left

by sodhat Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:39 am

TheBrahmaBull wrote:Does kyut still count ?? He was confirmed to have left

By the rules, yes. The squad is as of the last day of last season.

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:39 am

right lalana and lambert are untouchable

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:40 am

Right so I get £35 million to spend. Solid.

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:43 am

bull what for owen

by Bull Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:45 am

He might not be in my squad you never know. Cash if he is

by The Special Juan Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:46 am

Surely it's just foreigns that are realistic and domestics can be whatever?

by puntingred Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:50 am

Of course TSC

Bull, surely he's yours as he belonged to Utd on last day of season, unless you cut him to make 25 man squad

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:51 am

then he becomes free as he has no clubs
this is realistic after all Smile

by Bull Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:51 am

I think domestics have to as well

by sodhat Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:52 am

TSC wrote:Surely it's just foreigns that are realistic and domestics can be whatever?

Yeah domestics are whatever you want, so long as one side isn't getting monumentally bummed.

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 10:55 am
