I'm clearly the ideal candidate. Temperament: Usually mild, but can occasionally explode Salary Expectations: Couple of grand a week will do nicely Playing Experience(If you're Andy Cole use separate sheet): Intramural team at university, so I've experience of playing at the very highest level...

Interesting quote from that Telegraph article: "Brighton are believed to have the fourth lowest budget in the division."

Aside from the fact that some teams will be banking up to an extra £23 million from parachute payments, yes.

Wow, Google really are getting stroppy. Båstardised?!

Probably about a 5, but that's only because I'm probably not going to be able to get to any of the (hopefully 3) playoff games. I'm sure I'll be able to watch them from elsewhere though, and I'll be at an absolute minimum of 9 by then.

Hurstpierpoint is approximately five million times better than Hassocks.

I'm not sure disaster is even fair. It was a fire alarm FFS. Imagine the chaos an actual disaster would cause.

Spanish Dave Vicente Orlandi Ulloa - won't F up another one. Greer - captain, experienced, will step up under pressure.

I'm still at Feyenoord on 2012. Now just past the January 2014 window, and, having beaten Ajax in our last game, we're now 8 points clear with 11 games to go. However, having sold a key centre-back in the summer, the chairman decided to sell my hottest prospect (a brilliant Dutch AMC) and star...

Please elaborate on this.

But that's the thing - they clearly state that the person already needs considerable experience and expertise. It's exploitation, pure and simple.

Plus you need a postgraduate degree and prior experience. Wow.

For one thing, the parachute payments are greater. For another, I doubt all three relegated teams will be as spectacularly badly managed as Wolves and Blackburn have been this year.

Oh, and I've signed a LUDICROUS regen striker from Leyton Orient, of all places. 16 years old and he's already the 3rd best forward at the club. Very excited about him, and an utter steal at £70k.

I'm still playing 2012 - downloaded the demo of 2013 but didn't really get into it. Started a save a few months ago starting unemployed but with a high reputation - after a few months I landed the job at Feyenoord, 11th in the Dutch league at the time. Money is pretty tight but there is some...

You do make some fair points, I agree. Can't find the link, but I remember it being posted a little while ago that there is something like a 93% correlation in football between the amount you spend on players' wages and where you finish in the league. By that measure, I'd argue we are punching...

Not so bothered by the "does your boyfriend know you're here" and "we can see you holding hands," but it does get nastier than that. Not just chants as well - Twitter's generally awash with homophobic bile from supporters of whoever we're playing on a match day.

So you're conveniently ignoring the fact that our wage bill is mid-table, then? Based on cold financial reality, how are we not punching above our weight?

Sheffield United - good memories of going there in early 2005(?), I think. Nice place and a 'proper' football team. Brentford - Easy to get to for me, being based in West London. Pub on each corner of the ground. Bournemouth - I'd be pleased for Tommy Elphick and Steve Cook, and it casts Pompey...

I agree with quite a few points already made on this thread. With the way everything's played out this year - relegated teams struggling, recent results going our way, Ulloa catching fire at the right moment - this is now a GOLDEN opportunity. At the turn of the year, 7th would have done me, but...
