I know I haven't updated this in forever. I got a job and thus have no time to play FM anymore. FM was, almost literally, my job prior to this as I was averaging 8 hours a day of playing, 7 days a week. I would have been rich as hell if I could somehow earn money by playing FM.

Anyway, I mind as well bring everyone up to date on what happened before I stopped playing:

I got 6 or 7 job offers, including one in League Two I _really_ wanted to take. However, I decided a League 2 job just wasn't realistic at this point and turned it down. Got offers from minor teams all through Europe and Asia. Was on the verge of accepting an offer from Hong Kong when an offer from Pro Vercelli in Italy came through. I jumped on that one real fast. Won my first game, drew my second. Dropped a few people, signed someone who looked pretty amazing. It's the middle of the season and our record sucks, but I'm pretty sure I can hold out and fend off a relegation. This team really feels like the second coming of Bromley to me. A good team that isn't doing so well, and just 2 or 3 good signings will make it into a contender.

Oh, also, I got an offer from an Irish team that had... guess who? ... Godly DC that I signed while with Bromley. I was tempted to accept it solely for that reason. However, I'm willing to bet they readjusted his stats and he isn't anything special in 2011. It also counts as a form of cheating under LLM rules so I didn't accept the offer.

Now if I just knew Italian, I'd be all set!
