I'm Just Flamers From The Bloc.

[Flamers]

The idea from this is try and make the Eastern Bloc the power in football that it never was. I have chosen as many leagues as I can that were part of the Eastern Bloc and loaded as many players as possible. From here I will be trying to take my career to dizzy heights, although it is more likely to end in a spectacular failure! For those of you how don't know here's a brief history lesson: the Eastern Bloc was formed under Stalin and the USSR, it consisted of the countries that are now considered "Eastern Europe", being part of Stalin's empire there was basically a media blackout which is refereed too as the Iron Curtain. Due to the Stalinist rule (technically it's not Socialism or Communism) it made these countries incredibly poor which is still noticeable to this day. Russian history has really interested me so I thought I would pack my bags and head off to the Eastern Bloc and see how good the football is!

Anyway enough of this wiff waff, time to get onto the game setup!

Manager Setup

Rules:

If I receive an offer from a foreign club with a higher wage I must take it.

I can spend as long as I like at any club but I will try and restrict to a maximum of 5 years.

Do not use the 48 month pay off period, this is too easy to abuse.
