Republic of FM - A Trillonaire's Playground

It is July 2008, and the world's richest man, Freidrich Manngeld - entrepeneur, owning several multinational companies, sports teams, and the country of Scotland - has announced plans that will shock the world of football, and indeed the world itself.

Manngeld had announced the renaming of Scotland several weeks ago as the "Republic of Freidrich Manngeld", or "FM" as it is to be known. A keen follower of football, the German has decided to set about creating the best league in the world, and has installed himself as head of the FM FA. Instead of sticking with a 'mediocre' and 'lacklustre' league, as he has donned the country's current setup, it is Manngeld's intention to create a multinational league system, with a newly-formed club from every one of the world's top ranked nations, all competing for glory. His plans for the setup are as follows.

FM Premier League  FM Div 1	FM Div 2	FM Div 3
Brazil	           Sweden	South Korea	Norway
Italy	           Denmark	Ukraine	        Paraguay
Argentina	   Turkey	Serbia	        Ghana
France             Greece	Ivory Coast	Colombia
Germany	           Switzerland	Bulgaria	Uruguay
Spain	           USA	        Israel	        Nigeria
Holland	           Russia	Australia	Cameroon
Portugal	   Poland	Japan	        Saudi Arabia
England	           Romania	Belgium	        Chile
Croatia	           Scotland	Ireland	        Slovakia
Czech Republic			
Mexico

So, where do I come in?

Manngeld has asked for the richest men and women in the world to found a club to take part in his new league. Knowing you may be interested, he has asked you to fill out the following form, in order to enter a team into his league setup. You have as long as you want to fill out and return the form, but Manngeld is operating on a first-come-first served basis, and the top division spaces are sure to be snapped up quickly!

Nationality:
Name of Club:
Chairman Name: 
Team Colours (max 3):
Preferred Manager:


[i][u]Rules Regarding Form[/u]
The name of club must be fictional, and match the selected nationality.
The manager chosen must be a real manager, but will be replaced by a fake AI manager, with similar qualities.
[/i]

The aim of the game is simple, support your team to the end, with a financial scoring system based on how your club does in several fields. In terms of your involvement after the initial selection process, all you will be able to do is sack (but not hire) your manager when you feel it necessary/appropriate. The AI will take care of all other matters for you!

All teams will start off equal in all fields, with only youth players, top training and youth facilities, plenty of money, a high reputation and morale, and no staff other than the chairman (you) and your selected manager. The rest is up to the AI to decide. The game will be loaded using fictional players to make the game as interesting as possible, and help to add to the ficitional element. Anything can, and anything will happen, and Freicrich Manngeld eagerly awaits your application.

If you do not select an eligible manager (applies to everyone) then the highest reputation from your team's nation will be automatically selected.

While I'm here, I'd like to give you details of my own team.

There are three of you now I believe with invalid manager choices, so please rectify them if you can!

Eleven spots left, so for those of you who haven't yet applied, don't miss out!
