The Trophy Collector – Sign-up

As Everyone knows it’s the managers who grab a lot of the headlines for the success or failures of their teams. The successful managers are placed in the highest esteem with the media salivating over there every great purchase and never really focusing too much on the bad games, the unsuccessful managers however are ridiculed, with every bit of where they went wrong picked apart in detail.

This sign-up is to find out who will be successes and who will be failures, the winner will be deemed to be the manager with the most trophies, whether it be a champions league or a community shield trophy, a trophy is still a trophy, and whoever wins the most wins the praise.

Interesting background for my club, hopefully Hungary is a good place to start winning trophies.

[stothy]

THISS....ISSSSS.....SPARTAAAA! Bring it on.

[AndyEs]

Portland Timbers with big Kris Boyd haha, bring it on

[gurfling]

Go Albacete, cmon Carl, bring them to the top! Starting a little ways down in leagues, but what can you do. Should be interesting regardless.

[5ergio]

De Graafschap? They were relegated in real life so I hope I manage to avoid that fate

[nastymiller]

Belgrano - didn't we sink that in May 1982 during the Falklands war?

Youuuuuuuuuuuuul never take the Falklands, youuuuuuuuuul never take the Falklands.

[kieronbrown73]

The Diamonds - what an appropiate nickname, we will be awash with awards!!!!!

A note for Mr Nick Adam: -

Please do not be too dismayed when I Count Dracul win all the riches in Isreal.

[b101]

Good to see a couple of rivalries already - Padova seems like a solid team for Della Torre to work his magic

[toonbalmy87]

Not bad starting in Belgium

[kieronbrown73]

Count Dracul has just learned that the stadium is known as "The Box" how apt!!

[18Rabbit]

I have never heard of FC Petrolul Ploiești before today. Here's to hoping that they like a barking mad manager.

[kieronbrown73]

I have never heard of FC Petrolul Ploiești before today. Here's to hoping that they like a barking mad manager.

Pronounced Petro - lool Plo - esht.

They are a team funded on oil money north of Bucharest.

[Shadaza]

Sebastian Prost (Shadaza) Hradec Kralove - Czech First Division

I am not even sure how to pronounce my team, that usually is not the best of signs. But I am glad I rolled Europe and looks like I have an immediate rival in:
Steve Thomas (Lenzar) Dukla Prague - Czech First Division

Will be interesting to see if my manager keeps a niche trophy run here or jumps over to better leagues.

[Lenzar]

Hmm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na12OyJEgJ8

Technically a different team now, I think, but still.

[David Corperial]

I think Count Dracul needs to learn the country is called Israel.

[18Rabbit]

Pronounced Petro - lool Plo - esht.

They are a team funded on oil money north of Bucharest.

Then we should be able to afford some good players?

[letissierandhenryaregreat]

Union in Argentine Premier Division, sounds interesting...

[kieronbrown73]

I think Count Dracul needs to learn the country is called Israel.

It Is Real no!!!!!!!!!!

[David Corperial]

Israel, taken from the hebrew transliteration yisra'el

[jimbowmanuk]

Just a quick update on the progress, I just need to add the playing history to all the players now. I will do it tomorrow when I finish work barring any mishaps and we should be ready to go tomorrow evening

[kieronbrown73]

It would appear that a simple typo has offended you and my attempt at levity has not had the intended effect. I will therefore be more careful and fully check all spellings before posting.

[avine]

Just found this and i missed sign-up, haven't i?

[David Corperial]

Or, apparently, I can't read humor or sarcasm on the internet.

[jimbowmanuk]

Just found this and i missed sign-up, haven't i?

Yeah sorry avine but your too late, if I let one in they'll all want in

[jimbowmanuk]

Right I've decided to abandon the player history thing as it will take ages to do and I would rather get this up and running once I've finished My Hungary Saves European Championship Tournament

[avine]

Yeah sorry avine but your too late, if I let one in they'll all want in

no prob jim
