Moral Dilema

Here's my scenario, and it's prevented me playing CM3/4 all day.

I have taken Albion up to the Premiership after two seasons. I then qualified for the UEFA Cup, and then won the Premiership. I really wanted to challenge for the Champions League, but to do that I feel I need to buy at least two quality players - and need around 20m Euros to do it. Dick Knight offered me only 5m for the season - ungrateful bastard. I asked for more money & he turned me down. Then, Liverpool offered me a job with better existing players & 29m Euro's to buy new players.

Should I go to Anfield (44,000 stadium) or should I stay at Falmer (18,000)? It's a nightmare

Difficult indeed. My suggestion would be get off your fat arse and do some work. Plus Liverpool will have Emile Heskey which will severely impeed any Champions League challenge.

Leave an djoin Liverpool, it will enchance your reputation and if you do well with them you'll have a better chance of getting the National job!

Apart from being a cheapskate with the finances, it's obvious that DK lied about the capacity of Falmer which is now only 18,000. Do a Coppell and us fans will continue with the Knight out campaign as you fall flat on your face with the underachievers of Liverpool.

I would take the Liverpool job personally because it's only a f***ing game. :rolleyes:

Yeah right, because you would take the Palace job !
It is only a game after all...........:D

You dont want to move to Scouse Land, stay loyal and make the Albion kings of Europe...

Two things there baldy. It's 6.30pm here & work is over. And I don't want to be in this job much longer anyway.

Secondly, and more importantly, Heskey plays for Fulham in this game. I will have Owen & a German bloke up front for now, though I will be purchasing a new striker if I take the option.

I have 45 minutes to make a decision

Personally I'd stick with the Albion as you'll prove yourself to be a much better manager if you can win in Europe with them. I'm not sure you're ready for the pressure of managing Liverpool. Stick to being a big fish in a small pond.

I never said he did! Reading did though - Coppell/Sidwell for example, not that its raiding but near enough!

how do you get on with the fans

wondering if its worth your while making an ultimatium ? but only if you've got good backing from the fans

does'nt mean shit, I once made an ultimatum and got sacked and the fans went crazy at the board 'cos they loved me! Having done what Stumpy has done then an ultimatum could be alright BUT it depends on the chairmans current standing. If he wanted Prem Glory then it wont work!

I issued an ultimatum, got fired & took the Liverpool job. I have since taken Liverpool to 3rd (from 7th) with an outside chance of winning the title.

The Albion have hired Arsene Wenger & haven't won for 11 games. It's most upsetting
