    Stepped down from Woking in 2015 and got the MK Dons job. Step up right? Shame they're way over the wage budget, have only one keeper, and have used up all their long-term loans for the season which are due to expire in February. What can I do?!

    They certainly seem to be going in the right direction to get more players and better players into the league anyway, even if they probably know it will never be a big as NFL/NBA/MLB.

    The MLS in recent years also seems to be able to pick great cities for franchises. When I started my game with Philadelhpia, I did some research into the history behind them, and it surprised me to see that it was the fans who lobbied MLS to give them a franchise. At their first Superdraft, there were a ton of Union fans there to watch the draft, and they certainly made a lot of noise. This season, they've sold PPL Park out 5 times out of 9 and got an average attendance of 18,400. In a 18,500 seat stadium, that's not bad (although feel free to crucify me for low numbers :p).

    Adkins managing England in 2016. Michael Laudrup takes over at Saints. They don't have any particularly big players in the team, which I suppose is a testament to just how good Adkins is.

    Well I see I've been one-upped in the "Most stupid rebranding" stakes.

    Eh I've been pushing my luck for weeks and I'm still here. Not even received a nasty PM since my rebranding. If you've not even been warned once, you'll definitely be fine.

    But you understand that if I'm posing as Stalin, then I will feel obliged to make Stalin-esque comments. It's all or nothing with me.

    I've not got a problem with that. What would Stalin do if someone had a problem with it, Joe? Remember that. What would Stalin do? It's like WWJD but for ballsy people.

    Hmm, I'm leaving the country in about 24 hours, so might leave the re-brand until I get back. Gives me some planning time.

    Maybe by then, some light will have been shed on why Conman went for, um, gay bacon strips. At least my rebranding had logic behind it.

    Speaking of Conman, I have some advice for him (and anyone else living in NI) on avoiding import tax, courtesy of some Redditor:

    Pretty nifty way of cheating the system.

    Smart.

    And yes, alas I have decided to rebrand myself, for we all have the one common love in life of bacon.

    How do you know when a pig is homosexual? Does it taste all fruity or something?

    I only feel you've one-upped me in the extremity stakes :p Mine is more personal, I like it that way.
