The Inevitable European Domination of Mediocre Football Clubs


Recommended Posts

First of all, the inspiration brilliance of the thread title comes from Rancer, and not myself :D

A lot of you will remember WW's (aka Walcott's Wonderkids) Oceania dominance sign up, which involved becoming a CEO and assigning budgets to a Nation that would then hopefully become a dominant force in Oceania and potentially World football. This sign up is partially like it, but different too.

20 Users from the forum will become CEO's or Head of 'Mediorcre' European Footballing Nations, in the hope that their investments will launch 4 of their brightest domestic prospects into European domination. Forget a semi final of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, we're talking about a semi final of Linfield, TNS, Elfsborg and FC Thun!

The head FA position was seen as an important role, which will require a regular to regularly post (I'm not talking about having to post every single day, but once every 4/5 days etc). I've pm'ed around 20 users, and pretty much all of them agreed to be a CEO. There will be 20 places for people that didn't get to be CEO's, originally it was going to be as players, but I didn't really see how I could incorporate it into the sign up. In-fact the other 20 users will sign up to be managers, each one will be randomly assigned a Nation, and then one of the 4 clubs. However it wont be OOTP style, you will create an in-game manager and then see how well he does.

The CEO's are -

  1. PaulHartman
  2. Robert_296
  3. Ridleys
  4. NepentheZ
  5. mikeytwigge
  6. canvey!!
  7. DodgeeD
  8. minisav
  9. spartans5
  10. BermyBhoy
  11. rancer890
  12. corinthiano
  13. Pluckaduck
  14. dafuge
  15. weeeman27bob
  16. pnefc22
  17. tomsmith1989
  18. Whoopy D
  19. Tomaldinho
  20. Lower Leagues Rule

Apologies to anyone that didn't get 'selected', I did try to include as many people as possible. Also, not sure if a few pm's didn't go through? I sent about 25, and 3 or 4 didn't respond, no problem if they didn't want to be in it though.

I take it you didn't get my PM? I was having trouble with my connection that night and kept having to reload. Anyway, good luck, should be a good read.

Also isn't robertlangman pnefc22 now?

No I didn't, presumed you weren't interested, waited a few days and then just offered your place to someone else. Sorry, can put you as an 'emergency CEO replacement' if you like. Ah yes, he is pnefc22 now, will have to edit that.

Paul, sorry I missed your last PM I haven't been on the forum properly over the weekend.

I've tried to do my budget without looking at the others so hopefully mine is different, I didn't really have a strategy for allocating it however. Would prefer to draw the Czech Republic but I think with my ability I'll be able to take any of the nations to the top ;)

Plucka, your budget should be £30million and then your transfer budget can be anything up to that figure as you see fit. Unless you only wanted your teams to have 29million, could I have the surplus carried over to my teams :thup:

I think I see what you mean Tomaldinho, But if put them both at thirty, then will my bank balance be eaten up if I make any transfers. I think what I'm trying to say, Is that if I spend money from the Transfer Budget, Will the Bank Balance decrease???

I think that is the case, at least that's why I allocated a third of my remaining balance to transfers and not all of it. What Tomaldinho is saying (I think and if he's not, I am :D) Is if you want to only use 1M for transfers you still put your remaining budget as 30M.

Yeah that is what I meant, I think. It's harder to explain that I thought!

just remembered what I initially forgot to do, fill out a sign up form myself :D

haven't seen any of the others yet, so hopefully mine is a bit different to the rest of you. Have only done one test so far so don't know anymore than you do because the test I did was to give all clubs from Sweden the best in everything.

think Whoopy and Tom have done pretty well explaining it but basically -

If you're budget is 10M, and you have 5M for transfers, then theoretically if the manager decides to spend all 5M, it would leave your bank balance at 5M.

After Whoopy had an attempt I did write out another explanation but it was about 5 times longer than yours. Waffling is the only reason I passed my exams :(
