There are still a number of places left, although the furthest forward is central midfield! One goalkeeper spot remaining, along with lots of defender spaces.

dubai_phil Posted 23 March, 2009 Share Posted 23 March, 2009 Application has been in for a few days now, airmiles are now sorted, all I need now is confirmation from Baj that the promised backroom staff for my critical role as manager are in place. I'll need one person to pick up the drinks tray as I kick it over regularly. Two cute blonde chick masseurs to stop my shoulders getting too tense during the game and a mega-phone to shout abuse at the ref from the technical area over the noise of the capacity crowd. And the all important bald headed thug looking bloke to look angry all game (what is it with PL teams and angry looking Bald headed blokes - all the games I saw at the weekend had one) Anyone want any duty frees bringing over? Fags are already sold to help pay the cost of the place, but still have the booze and pong allowances available for auction Oh and my team WILL be playing 4 - 4 - FOOKIN - 2 After half a season managing Coombe Bissett FC way back when I reckon I have enough on my cv to manage Saints let alone half of you lot! (all we have to do now is hope we don't go bust before the game and find that Kranser cancels it and keeps our money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 23 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 March, 2009 Are you mods playing? Could you give an indication of fitness levels please Stve? Some may be worrying that they won't be able to keep up. Baj and I are both playing (and paying our way as well, before someone inevitably asks). Judging by the ages and playing levels of everyone who's playing, it really is a wide range. The ages range from 16 to 45 on the playing side (even older among the managers ), some play regularly at varying levels, others don't play regularly at all. Hopefully the teams are going to be reasonably well balanced. Did I get in then? Everyone who has registered so far is in, although I've not been able to fit everyone into their #1 position or their preferred time period (I don't think anyone had to be fitted in with a different position AND time). I had to do a bit of juggling to ensure everyone was in one of their three preferred positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered trying different formations? You could have the Anti's using 4-4-2 and the Pro Lowe's in a sort of "where am I supposed to be" diamond formation with only 2 at the back.

Scrap the DVD and that should cover the cost of the missing players. I do think the add-ons may have put one or two off tbh, it started at about £90 for 45 minutes if memory serves me right.

stevegrant Posted 25 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 25 March, 2009 I'll be sending out e-mails this evening detailing how/when money is to be paid. If those positions remain unfilled by tonight, they will remain open - I will figure out a way of ensuring all costs are covered in the meantime, which may involve slotting people who had asked to play 45 but said they didn't mind playing 90 if necessary into 90 minute slots, getting the full money from them and then refunding half if/when I manage to get someone to fill the 45-minute slot. So long as 11 positions are covered at £230 each (or 2x£115), the costs are covered. I haven't got my bit of paper where I'd managed to fit everyone into a team to hand at the moment (currently sat on a train to Waterloo), but if necessary I should be able to do a slight reshuffle to ensure there's 15 in each squad rather than 16 if necessary. Getting a second goalkeeper is kinda vital though, so if anyone knows anyone who would be willing to play in goal at a cost of £230, ask them to get in touch pretty urgently!
