This is my first time posting, because I finally caught up. Great blog, great selection…please don’t listen to the haters and keep it going! Sad to see that you dropped my beloved side, the Portland Timbers, from your roster of feeder clubs but I guess you’re just EVER so lightly above that level at this point.

Hmmmm, now the Timbers, there’s a team that can use the flash and insight of an accomplished manager.

I’ve just finished reading this saga. Well done. I’m now itching to get a copy of FM 09–the newest I’ve ever gone is CM4, which I bought on eBay and discovered was a Thai bootleg copy. I’m still playing CM 01/02. The media and team interactions has me intrigued.

Well I spent yesterday evening reading through the Pro Vercelli archives from scratch – fantastic stuff, and the videos were lovely.

You’ve even encouraged me to have a go with the 3D highlights, which I’d never been convinced about.

Cheers Brian.

We’ve also got the San Jose Earthquakes, SC Cambuur, and FC Martigues. You know, we’re contractually obligated to play a friendly in China every year, but we have yet to actually do it. I don’t even thing the reserves have been going. Odd.

By my count you have 3 feeders, Legnano, Liaoning FC, and Sampdoria. Any others that I am missing? Also, have the boys gone out to China for a scrimmage?

Terrible. Just terrible. They have four (I think) of my players, and the ones who get any playing time are averaging about a 6.1.

Some of my youth players suffer from a syndrome that makes them refuse to accept loans to feeder clubs they think are beneath them (but where they could actually get playing time and do well), and instead hold out for loans to clubs that seem prestigious to them (but where they aren’t good enough to contribute or get any meaningful experience). In their own minds, they’re too good to move to Legnano in Serie B, but they’re out of their depth at the club that lives up to their standards.

It’s annoying. I blame agents.

Speaking of relegation, have your ties to Sampdoria improved the bottom of the table club? Also, how is the performance of players you’ve loaned to them?

Lazio relegated. Oh man.
