I want Norwich and if you need any help with the draw I will help thumbsup

by Trebs Fri 22 Jun 2012, 9:52 pm

Monday

Depends, if nobody else asks for United you can have them.

by Marky Fri 22 Jun 2012, 10:18 pm

I want Manchester United too Whistle

by Marky Fri 22 Jun 2012, 10:19 pm

Ok, I mean Stoke City. Easy mistake to make Wink

by Fernando Fri 22 Jun 2012, 10:29 pm

If we're allowed to choose sides ill take Newcastle Realistic Premier League - Page 2 3559488474

by Trebs Fri 22 Jun 2012, 10:36 pm

Fernando, it's only if no other manager wants that side, so if someone comes along tomorrow wanting Newcastle it's random

And will add all preferences

by sodhat Fri 22 Jun 2012, 10:52 pm

West Ham please Trebs

I'll assume there aren't any masochists in here so it should be fine...

by David James Number One Fri 22 Jun 2012, 11:56 pm

Chelsea or Man City please!

by Gregers Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:05 am

A nice mid table side please mate

Everton ideally

by Bull Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:08 am

not chelski gregers?

by Gregers Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:11 am

Nah want a challenge, taking Everton to glory would be awesome. Plus I'm Chelsea in the fel so it'd be great to have a different team

by Russell_Elmo Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:46 am

I'll have reading if not then fulham

by Russell_Elmo Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:48 am

Screw it just fulham :P

by cherriesfna Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:48 am

soton plz

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 10:13 am

Cheers guys.

What do you all think about budgets?

Can do it so the very top teams start with £0m, and it increases to say, £30m for the smallest teams?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 23 Jun 2012, 10:15 am

It depends how 'realistic' you want it to be really Trebs thumbsup

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 10:25 am

Well, I don't want all the top players rushing into the league, it needs to be a slow process to ensure the league runs for a long time, and giving the big teams no money to spend means that the have to sell players to the smaller teams in order to build up a transfer budget and sign foreigns.

Or, we could do the flip side, and be realistic, give the big teams more money, and have the lower teams buying on a budget and making it a real challenge. Either way, I don't mind.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 23 Jun 2012, 10:27 am

Gain the consensus on it. I don't mind. I can see the challenge of being a small team on a big budget, but that does mean when they play a big team they aren't going to have a chance really. And that might turn people off after a little while.

See what everyone says

by Gregers Sat 23 Jun 2012, 10:59 am

Give the big sides a negative budget so they have to sell their fringe players. I think that the transfers need to be a bit more realistic though, maybe reasons why a player would join a side. If the reasons given aren't then provided to the player he gets unhappy and wants to leave

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:34 am

Yeah, reasons I think would be good. Thing is that it's subjective. I'd fancy doing the results side, so if someone wants the task of foreigns then

I don't think it should be a negative budget, I think 0 is enough though.

by Gregers Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:36 am

Maybe if foreigns were run by a team? Therefore each would need a 2 out of 3 votes majority to be accepted

by CFCNick Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:17 pm

I'd like West Brom if no one else does please.

by The_Enigma Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:18 pm

Seeing as TSC has dropped out, is there anybody who's wanting to run a team as a Co-Owner with me? Would suit somebody who hasn't really got the time but would like to be involved where we can share the work-load

If we're picking teams, I'd want a challenge and start at the team around the lower end of the league, if not a promoted side. Ideally I'd like to have Reading or Southampton. But wouldn't mind Aston Villa or West Brom.

If your going to chuck a team, please let it be QPR!

by David James Number One Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:24 pm

would like chelsea or man city please:)

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 12:43 pm

Alright that's fine Jay, Enigma, James.

And Enigma, it'll come down to which teams are unwanted, for example I won't chuck QPR if there's a manager that wants them.

If you could all go and try to recruit managers that'd be great

by The_Enigma Sat 23 Jun 2012, 5:31 pm

Will the budgets for each team be based off what and where teams finished last season..?

I'd quite like to manage Aston Villa as my first choice, but if anybody picks them, I'll have Reading as my second choice. Now I'll have to see if anybody wants to Co-Run a team with me.

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 5:51 pm

That's cool mate

And the budgets will be based on the finishing positions, and strength of the squad on paper

by Gregers Sat 23 Jun 2012, 5:58 pm

Just so you can update it, Everton please mate

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 6:11 pm

by The Special Juan Sat 23 Jun 2012, 6:37 pm

If you want someone neutral to help you with Foreigns then I can do that. Just in too many leagues at the moment to take a team.

by The_Enigma Sat 23 Jun 2012, 7:25 pm

I'd like to manage Villa then. If somebody else comes along and also wants Villa, I might change to Reading then. Not 100% decided.

by Trebs Sat 23 Jun 2012, 9:46 pm

TSC, that'd be great

Was thinking of doing a system where people submit one bid per day, then at the end of each day all bids get answered? How would that sound, then it's easy and just have to do 10-15 minutes work each evening?

Also could do an advisory role for Enigma maybe? Then there's no responsibilties, just somewhere to turn for help?

by Trebs Sun 24 Jun 2012, 3:44 pm

Just need two more managers to sign up

by sodhat Sun 24 Jun 2012, 4:53 pm

Give it a shout in the euro league mate, might get a straggler

by puntingred Sun 24 Jun 2012, 4:53 pm

Hey OTW, hopefully you remember me! Smile

I'd be interested, would have asked for Newcastle/Man Utd probably but both gone so not fussed with what I get, outside Citeh.

by Trebs Sun 24 Jun 2012, 5:21 pm

Hey punting, course I do mate.

If you want Newcastle or United then you can go into a draw for the manager, with the other guy

by Fernando Sun 24 Jun 2012, 5:23 pm

If he wants newcastle ill take my beloved Arsenal thumbsup

by Trebs Sun 24 Jun 2012, 5:33 pm

Alright then.

Just thinking should I say nobody can have Man City, because on paper their squad is ridiculously strong compared to anyone else.

by puntingred Sun 24 Jun 2012, 6:19 pm

Cheers Fernando, yeah just got a feeling Newcastle is a good basis to start from, and a team I haven't been before Smile

Cheers Fernando!

by **Hero** Sun 24 Jun 2012, 7:07 pm

I might as well take the last spot and have Spurs

by Trebs Sun 24 Jun 2012, 7:09 pm

Wicked Hero

Off to the pub to watch the England game, but we can sort the admin stuff out now

Just need to find GraemeSwann and CF and get them to select their teams.

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 12:41 am

Initial thoughts on budgets

Liverpool - £15m
Norwich - £30m
Stoke - £25m
West Ham - £30m
Arsenal - £10m
West Brom - £25m
Southampton - £30m
Everton - £15m
Fulham - £20m
Aston Villa - £20m
Chelsea - £0m
Man United - £0m
Newcastle - £15m
Tottenham - £5m

by puntingred Mon 25 Jun 2012, 8:04 am

They look good, perhaps Stoke/West Brom
On same as Villa considering relative performance of each team last season

Also, a note on Foreigns - I know if a player has signed for a club in the summer he's not yours but say they've signed for a foreign club (I.e Drogba to Shenua) are they still available despite them having recently signed?

by cherriesfna Mon 25 Jun 2012, 8:52 am

id give arsenal no money cause the signing of podolski and giroud make them undoubtebly a top 4 side, on pa with united IMO

by **Hero** Mon 25 Jun 2012, 8:58 am

What's the ruling on who is and isn't part of the team at the present moment in time?
IE Kagawa, Hazard, Podolski I presume are in, but are the likes of Hulk going to be added to the Chelsea team if they get added over the coming days (or for me more worryingly if Modric goes).

by Bull Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:07 am

do the signing from TPs have to be realistic?

so a small team cant sign a player like Kaka for example??

and is that the same for Domestics?

by sodhat Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:08 am

£30m for West Ham sounds good to me Trebs

good point will i be able to move for big players or stay small,
or will it turn into the sytem of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer

by Trebs Mon 25 Jun 2012, 9:23 am

To make life easier, summer transfers do not count, at all. So Kagawa, Hazard, Marin are not in the league. The squads are whstever they were on the last day of the season.

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