Christ, you could have cleaned up while I was away.

Anyway, I've gone and done it, started another game of FM.....so to help me find my Llama legs and get back into it (and who knows, maybe help some fledglings out there too)....

...I've let FM2007 run for a season just to see if my PC would handle it (been having hardware problems, long story).

So now I'm a year in, taken a job at newly promoted AFC Telford - here are my questions.

1. I've got no staff, so I've advertised for a scout and an ass man - am I wasting my time on FM2007 or can I/should I use the dreaded search screen?


2. I've only got 14 players - is there a legitimate way of finding pre-season trialists, or should I wait for my scout (if and when I get one) to find them?

You having a giraffe?

You're an established LLaMa, you've played this game for a few years, in this style for as long, you know we don't do tips, you know we don't give advice, get on with it!!!

Oh, and where's that £5er you owe me?

I spent it on a can of compressed air which got my computer running again, it's amazing what a clean up will do for your PC!

Seriously, not looking for filth...last time I was here (around FM2005) my two questions were grey areas in the Llama code, but if you think I'm tiptoeing into Tipland I'll tip my hat and tip off.

Now there's something you don't see every day - a warm, hearty welcome from Ian

Methinks the monkey may have got lost in the fog ...

Any man with a London Pride avatar is alright by me!

Bottom line, MITF, is that the Job Centre in FM07 is improved 100% on previous versions.

It's really up to yourself whether you wait for applications or have a wee dabble in the Staff screen...personally I'd wait.

Getting my backside toasted by Ian...it makes me all misty-eyed thinking of my first time....and fearful of what Nobby's going to do to me when he turns up. :eek:

Don't hold your breath - he's hurling himself down a mountain somewhere or other. Not the same without him is it

monkeyinthefog

At least I'll be able to sit down until he gets back....

Thanks for the reply Ian...and on second thoughts, sod the player shortage I can only start with eleven anyway... I've just realised in this version you can make the greys into whiteys.

Result! Relegation here we come. \0/

That's more like it
