Euro Division Homepage LXI

Right. So why did Russ and Marky get £1.5m for tactics and voting when neither of them did tactics? One of them had a fixture with me and didn't do their tactics, so whichever one it was should also be denied their bonus.

Because it wasn't mine or Russell's fault we didn't have a game. Technically you'll get full bonuses when voting on the match between me and Russell, but for the two games you've forfeited you wont.

Because you withdrew cancelling that fixture. Your fault not theirs

All I'm seeing is double standards. Either there was a fixture, and my opponent didn't fulfil his side either, or there wasn't a fixture, in which case we both fulfilled our obligations. You can't say that I quit the cup then let the opponent off, I stated at the time that I'd happily send in tactics with 8 men but to save my opponents time let's not bother. So my generous offer, to save my opponent time and effort, has resulted in me getting £0 and them getting £1.5m. Hardly fair imo.

Yawns

Assuming that they didn't actually submit tactics anyway

Tbh, even if they didn't it was because Cherries tried to rearrange Russ vs Marky for this week to get more games on.

You could almost anticipate Azzy opting out the cup and then kicking up a fuss when he doesn't get the £1.5m for not submitting tactics through his own choice.

I didn't see him thinking that he should be rewarded (or others punished) because his own choice meant others didn't have to submit tactics.

We know they didn't Afro, because we agreed they didn't need to beforehand. I should have just submitted tactics with 8 men, which the Cherries Cup would surely have benefitted from

Every time something happens in this league where I've been hard done by, you lot refuse to listen. I honestly don't know why I bother

I hereby resign as manager of RYE. This means Zebs can have a go for a few months

I did anticipate it

Not the 2nd part granted. Though as I say, that would've been down to Cherries trying to get a game on last minute.

Azzy what goes on in your mind moments before you quit? Don't you think a man of your age should calm down it's only a game? What would your wife or son say if they found out that you have tantrums and mood swings on a pretend manager game? I know I'm no example but I don't go far as you. Blatantly your own fault but you still have to blame others. Would Adrian childes be happy if he found out you're a quitter?

I can imagine Azzy in his office, seething, red in the face, breathing very hard. Gripping onto his bic pen tightly, pale knuckles, furious at the world feeling like everyone owes him something a bit like a 20 year old Mike tyson aka kid dynamite.

Who remembers the apprentice task from the old 606 when he had to get Liverpool back on track. Azzy was my team leader and me and nick fury (rip) slaughtered him on that task. We were supposed to find out preferences of the football (football related) but me and nick fury (rip) went to the extreme asking questions such as xbox or ps3 pepsi or coke. Azzy had a breakdown and wasn't the same after that.

Viva you make me laugh man

Adrian would love it, the wife would nod as if that's to be expected, and my lad would laugh and punch me in the nuts most likely

I'm actually very calm, I have no anger in me whatsoever, I'm not mad about quitting or miserable in any way.

What goes through my mind is that from time to time, the rules around here are bent according to who's in favour. The last time it happened Nick was the one who benefitted from illogical rulings, when he was to blame for his own mistake, this time it's Marky/Russ (not sure which) benefitting from me saving them time and effort, being nice off my own back. I just don't like it when rules are picked and chosen, so when it happens, I'd rather not be a part of it and let others do as they wish.

As before, I'll still post here. Because I ain't mad bro

That task did have me flustered, I'll admit that

You'd both have gotten a Glasgow kiss each had you walked within 50 miles of me that week

I'm glad you're still going to post here   

Me and Nick did deserve a punch or two, I apologise for our behaviour it was wrong of us.

How many years have I waited for that apology?

I forgive you

Well since you've got spare time run Azzrentice season 2/3 you lazy ****

Haha thank you.

Ok if we had to make our top 10 super league of your favourite managers ever on apl formats of 606 who would you have. This is not about the best managers but the ones you'd like to be in a league with.

Not sure I can stretch to 10....

Andy and Ronny would definately be in there. Ronny was like the pre runner to cherries

Andy was cool as ice never got into arguments and didn't let things bother him, andy and sodhat were similar

Smarts, Ronny, Viva, Afro, Soddy, me, Cherries, Fan, el Dios plus a guest spot for all those other managers to be rotated from week to week

Azzy you'd always make my top ten lists x

El Dios was a fraud and always have me losses with my blackburn team he was just a poor mans Fan.

Loved that team my favourite team ever

Looking back, that team never amounted to much did it

That's rubbish. We all know you didn't sign U21's or participate in the Cup to disrespect the Cherry Cup. At least admit to your disrespect. (After all it's not like you're the only one!)

But the rules weren't bent, you aren't fulfilling your matches for your own benefit, not for mine or Russell's.

In real life and fantasy. I had high hopes for Marcellis.

Posting 8-man tactics would have been disrespecting the Cup. What should have happened is that 3 weeks ago, when I said I didn't want to be a part of it, that request should have been heeded so that this issue never came about.

I was happy to submit 8-man tactics, but offered you and Russ the chance to avoid the effort of writing tactics for our games. That was a purely selfless offer, as had I known I was going to be norked out of my bonus I'd have done tactics.

Anyway, all done now, move on

Anyone fancy playing Lashings at cricket?

lol azzy the lashings boys are class!

I reckon I can get a game arranged, probably not until next year now though.

who's up for a deal?

Yes cf!

id be open to offers tbh

I'll play Lashings Azzy.
I'm an all rounder. Equally bad at batting and bowling.

Bassender always open for business.

I listen to all offers

After careful consideration, I will be selling Jordi Alba after this week's tactics are in. Either for £26.5m to Lawyers, or to another club if they beat that amount of cash. I would consider PX bids but it's unlikely seeing as I have plans in place.

Let the bidding begin!

I bit a Snickers, Bag of Walkers Salt & Vinegar & pack of Skittles.

Morning btw

Why selling Alba Marky? Not because he got done by Maggio?

Can you really argue about most of those names?

GSC wrote:Can you really argue about most of those names?

What names? The teams above England? No argument, just a bit shameful. We have a great league but a poor national team.

Aye. For all Scudamore's hollow stats, the PL has neglected English youth.

Belgium above England for the first time in about 15 years

How on earth are Colombia 3rd though?

England are Poopie so yes that is correct.

That one on the BBC article saying the five teams was it who hadn't fielded a English Under 21 is pretty bad. 38 games & not a single English youth.

Dont play the PL for poor English players, why should a manager be forced to play a young English player over a more talented young foreign player. The problem lies in grassroots where a player is educated on the game.

Whats the point of this academy they're building when the players that join are already at an age where they have been instructed to play hoof ball. It wontbe natural to them and they'll have to learn this new style while the the foreign lads who have been taught since they were 5 years old will pull away from the English guys.

Grassroot grassroots grassroots grassroots. People are looking for a quick fix was it hoddle that said England should look to Euro 2016 sorry but we won't even compete in that. The state our football is in it'll probably take 20 years to start competing for international honours.

Why sign an English youth player at a premium when you can get a youth from Spain for a fraction of the cost with twice the technical ability?
