    Might try that with saints, by signing British players up to a point, before moving onto English, and then finally just getting players through the academy.

    Anyone hired Harding as a coach? 20 defending 20 tactical <laugh> the man is a monster! Do stats increase in coaches as they age? He's only 34 if so...

    Is the playoff final in the Blue Square North/South not played on a neutral ground? It seems I'll be playing at home (not that I'm complaining).

    Tempted to do that challenge with Crewe, although the guy only ended up playing a handful of games, and if you were to play every one it would take forever to reach the point he has got to by just holidaying. Sounds as if it would be epic though!

    Promoted to BSP. Saints released Ward-Prowse for some stupid reason so I'm snapping him up. He'll be unreal at this level.

    I wish I had the patience to do a save like that. If you holiday too long eventually your assistant runs out of contract therefore your players contracts expire and they leave.

    Also I wonder how good his finances will be on that save??

    For a few years, he has a new stadium loan crippling him minorly, but now I think he's in the hundreds of millions.

    No, it's weird, it's played at the ground of whoever finished higher in the league.

    Is there anyway to take a prolonged holiday and not lose all your players?

    You could holiday for the season then take a few days in-game at the end to sort out contracts.

    Nah I think you'll have to make sure to take breaks from holiday to see to contracts and stuff. Also it's a good idea to return from holiday on March 13th so you can make offers to youth candidates.

    Might give it a go, but with Saints instead of Crewe. I'm surprised you can terminate your whole first teams contracts though.

    Ahem...

    Feeder club advice, s'il vous plaît. A list of five potential feeder clubs has been produced by Nicola Cortese, and includes the following:

    FC Sheriff Tiraspol
    AMO Apollon Limassol
    Manisaspor
    Debrecini VSC
    VÃ¥lerenga Fotball

    Any tips on who's best for me (I would like either first choice on decent young players or a widened scout network or work permits...)

    Debrecini would be best as they're in an EU country. Don't think any of the others are.

    Actually Apollon are as well.

    Anyone know how to work that Genie Scout thing? I bought the 'g' version yesterday (still waiting for my code to download it) but had a fiddle with the free version and can't seem to work out how to use it! Is it supposed to integrate with the game, or am I supposed to run my FM game through it? Anyone advise?
