owen10ozzy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ok going to start a story with Cromscotts latest update but i want too allow the community to decide who i should start with. The choices are as follows: (1) Sunderland: A club with all the sources to become big, including money. Now they just need a manager to get them their. (2) Newcastle United: The 'too big a team to go down' has, well gone down. The challenge is not only too return them to the premiership but actually win some honours to get them that 'big team' tag that all but passionate geordies feel is a sham. (3) Leeds United: Success in the 60's and 70's returned in the late 90's and early 00's but this time cursed with an immediate downfall of gigantic disaster. Can they become and force to be reckoned with again and this time on the back of sound finances. (4) Rangers: One of the big 2 in scotland, Rangers have failed to replicate their 90's success during the last 10 years. Often in the shadow of Celtic the last 2 years have seen a UEFA Cup final and the title return but can they challenge the elite of europe on a regular basis. (5) Aberdeen: It seems that success left the Dons when Alex Ferguson departed and it has never really found its way back to Pittadore. A small ground and average facilities wont make it easy to return them to their former glory, but what a story it would be if they did. (7) Lazio: Although they have enjoyed success in Seria A recent seasons have been rather a dissapointment, bar the 3rd pace finish in 07. They once looked like they could be a major force for years to come from 95-99 but financial woes put paid to that and they quickly became a selling club to the big 4. The foundations are there to see them rise to the top once more. So let the voting begin...who do you want to see glory come too? ANYONE WHO COMES THROUGH PLEASE CAST A VOTE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen10ozzy Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I thought Lazio were going to run away with this, just checked the voting and Aberdeen are wetting the appitite for many. Newcastle are their abouts. Have to say I'm flabbergasted Rangers dont have more votes; I suppose this is because they are already considered big. Anyway thanks to all those that have voted so far......I really want to get this started so may close voting at the full time whistle of the Arsenal game. Please Please get your vote in if you come across this people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
