Premier League Manager

I'm still shocked by the irony of it!

It's fine Bathite, it's not like, life-threatening or anything.

Im not worried about this mate, its just if you knew gloucesterbear like me and pull and others did, you would have found that comment very very amusing! He just set up a whole league and then bailed after 1 round of fixtures, so for him to give a manager some stick for leaving really early before damaging a team is a little bit rich!

Oh I see.

At least gloucesterbear lasted one game?

This game is quiet.

Do half the people playing this game exist.

Ok OTW mate.

Gloucester patience, foreigns are tomorrow, that is when it will all kick off.

May have to delay foreigns though. We have two vacancies in the league and not happy about that before foreigns to be honest.

If you're really desperate, I can try to sign foreigns tomorrow?

weren't there loads of people on the waiting list?

There were a couple but Posh withdrew and I don't know about the others. Will try to get hold of them before tonight otherwise foreigns may be delayed.

I can make foreigns tomorrow

Ive put all the times im online and what days im on holiday on my page. Like next week for example, i wont be online

Hodgey, do you want me to do foreigns tomorrow?

Yes please OTW.

okay, i'll try. No guarantees, if you find a new manager for Newcastle, let them do it.

Two vacancies

When will a football game I decide to play actually kick off

Gloucester you are actually really annoying mate. Who said this one isn't gonna kick off because 2 guys haven't got the time? There was plenty of interest before. HAVE SOME PATIENCE.

gloucester, take over my roles in the furious and european leagues

Well all the football games I have entered get scrapped after a week because of no people.

Full set then two quit

Gloucester, should join our realistic league then (The Furious League) as well as this.

We're into our 3rd season and always have abit of banter. Proves that the league has never been scrapped. We have Bolton free if your interested.

Just have patience with this league as either people get on on the night or there just waiting on foreigns.

yeah this league will be over in a week gloucester

Not exactly a very optimistic view. Give this a chance. PL leagues are slow to get going since most of the teams don't have any players that will ultimately be a part of the league and so cannot do many domestic transfers before foreigns open.

A key to the success of the league is successful foreigns with all teams involved and getting good players. Once a few teams get considerably weaker than the others very often those teams become managerless and are difficult to get new managers in.

So we all need to get to foreigns tomorrow (or whenever) if we want this league to have a chance.

How long do foreigns take? If they start at 2, how long will i need to concentrate for?

It depends on how many signings you can make but even with the 10 minute rule in place they don't normally take longer than 30-40 minutes. Of course if there are lots of counter bids for the top, top players it could take longer.

ive just taken a look at the furious league and it looks very complicated compared to this.

I'd suggest you talk to the owners of the league over there, it's a different style of league to this, they're just desperate for a couple of managers.

Gents - it's not as complicated as it looks.

Come and give it a try

ive offered to take on newcastle already just waiting for hodgey to get back to me incase someone else has taken the spots open.

just for general enquiry , how does foreign transfers work?

I think foreigns work but you posting a comment like:

Lionel Messi 50m

Then 3 people afterwards have to back you. If you get 3 backs you need to wait 10 minutes and if no-one outbids you by then he is yours.

If you only have 2 backs then your outbid, you can either choose to outbid that person and get 3 backers again or switch targets. You cant bid for more than 1 play at a time and if you look at the rules each team has a limit to how many foreign players they are allowed a day.

And check out the Furious League while your at it, not really that complicated.

so basically name a price for a player and get 3 people to agree to it?

Yep.

And theres no realism to it so you can go for anyone you want, its just the price that will be realistic or there abouts

Can I be Newcaste?

Or Sunderland

Hi guys Hodgey said I could be sunderland so my like is up

im gonna start making offers while im on, when are foreigns?

I can fill in a gap Hodgey.

Posh cheers for taking Sunderland. Pav if you could take Newcastle that'd be great because you agreed to take them the other day I believe just didn't get a link in?

Foreigns tomorrow at 2pm, all happy?

cant make foreigns guys.

If OTW is still around and can do them, that would be good, dont mind who you buy

Im around for foreigns if anyone needs any doing

What are time are foreigns

I can be on till about 2 i think

Bloody laptop!

Link for the Euro League?

foregins today or tomorrow?

I'll take Newcastle then....

Bring on the foreigns at 2pm

200m will be invested wisely

Foreigns will open at 2pm today.

I'll be on my phone for foreigns so won't be able to back much or help anyone out.. hope that's OK.

Yes mate that's fine.

Everyone else fine for foreigns?

yep, but havn't got a clue who i want to sign!

Newcomer in peace,

I've been looking through this and the other leagues and was wondering if someone could explain how the leagues actually work?

I get that you start with a team and have to do transfers, but am struggling to 'get it'. Just that it seams my kind of thing if its like FM but still dont get how the fixtures, tactics and transfers work in the league.

Basically could someone explain how everything works to me?

PM me if you need any advice.
