I know I read it somewhere before, but I would like to start the discussion again. At the moment it only shows managers in danger. Isn’t it possible for you just do what managersim did. Make the newspaper far greater. Let the newspaper ask you for interviews with a set of questions you can answer that will then be posted in the paper. Also, if a manager is bidding on a player, maybe this could be rumoured in the newspaper? Or if a transfer was finalised, announce it in the paper that team X has got player Y for the amount of etc. And last but not least, maybe show some results like, how did a team do in the UEFA or CL games.

Basicully, create it like it was in managersim, since that was also fun to look at and you could now and then read the thoughts of another manager if he gave an interview. It also was an easy way to create extra competition when it comes to bidding on a player. You might mis out on one, but thanks to the paper you won’t :)

We have some great plans for the newspaper! All you mentioned will be included (interviews, match results, transfers, rumors, etc). Some friends already volunteered to write the texts for the news, we can get it started ;)

Cheers!

It’s done. I just wanna make sure everything works on my dev environment before promoting it to our server. It’s no guarantee we are free of problems, but at least I’m doing my best to test it ;)

Ha!
There goes any chance of sneaking a potential player under your nose. How are we going to develop our pensioner squad while we get snitched on by the paper. C’mon dont take all the fun out of finding the occassional golden nugget. Thats what i love about these games its the chance of developing a great player in a week team, plus with the economy already blown, struggling clubs and newbies have a chance to develop over a couple of seasons.

my two bobs worth
cheers Luc
