Hi Dec, I tried out Llannelli and think i had a bit more to spend (ie not much) but finished the first season W:30, D:0, L:2 and winning both cups, just playing 4-4-2 and some 4-3-3. Champions League was identiical., got to thee playoff round and lost by one goal scored in the last minute. The Europa League was virtually the same. I got one draw at home, largely because the French team had 4 goals disallowed for offside, which must be a record. Having dominated the league in one season I lost interest and moved to England! Be interesting to see if you ever make any headway in the Europa League.

Well you've picked a tough one. I reckon Llanelli, Neath and Bangor are the teams with bigger wage budgets and a little cash. Aberystwyth start with next to nothing - very hard indeed. Once you have managed to pull together a decent team - good enough to get anywhere in Europe, the Welsh league won't be any kind of challenge though which is the problem i feel.

You can always quit and get another job to do it all over again. And then it will be a challenge ;)

Indeed. I can also drive to Wales and attempt to play the game at the top of Snowdonia in the middle of winter, naked. That would also be a challenge, but it doesn't mean it's actually worthwhile or sensible to do. :)
