So, you think that you can do a better job? - The Sign-Up Thread

So, you think that you can do a better job is a manager sign-up.

This sign-up is now officially closed!

You will become a manager of a club. This club could be Real Madrid or it could be Guiseley, but this depends on if you can really do a better job. Some of you might even become national managers, although you might only be the U21 manager.

I will update once a week at a minimum with one season a week being played most likely. Sometimes, I won't be able to make the update and I will tell you if I can't do it.

This sign-up is limited to 16 people!

The Sign-Up Sheet

Manager Name:

Nationality:

DOB: (Under 40 if you want a long career)

Preferred Formation:

Second Preferred Formation:

Attacking Formation:

Defensive Formation:

Favoured Personnel: (select one)

One manager attribute: (anything from buying players to using subs)

Please ask if you need any help with the sign-up sheet.

Next post by me will be who is excluded from this sign-up for not posting in my last sign-up.

The post after will be about how we determine the winner and the bonuses which you can gain during a season for certain things.

Note: This will be run on FM05 for various reasons. Plus, I don't think that it will affect much because you are a manager, NOT a player.

The following list is of people not allowed to sign-up for this sign-up for not posting in my last sign-up.

If you would like to ask or talk to me about not being allowed to sign-up and have a valid reason then, please PM me.

Post reserved for information regarding how we determine the winner and the bonuses which you can gain during a season for certain things.

1) You will start in a job because when I started people in the test run without jobs, they didn't get jobs.

2) There will be awards for MotM and MotY etc, as well as some surprise ones.
