While I was working on a lazy wednesday afternoon a friend of mine shared something with me and I decided to post it in here.

So let's see how many five year olds could you take in a fight...

My score is 23 and I'm proud of it. Go get them tigers...

Manager Nationalities in Manta

For a number of reasons, my posting regularity has declined severely and in an attempt to make up for this, I thought it would be a good idea to acquaint the Manta managers with the variety of nationalities our beloved Itsagoal has presented us with.

Now then, there's little to say on the subject and I'll leave any comments to you, so here's the table:

Bombers' Financial Decline

As some of you may know, I've recently been thinking of moving on from my team Lancaster Bombers due to the very restrictive situation I find myself in.

Being in debt means I can't buy any new players or employ any new staff, which means I can't improve my team. I have plenty of good players who are not maxed out on any skills that could no doubt benefit from better quality coaches.

I've tried selling players to make some money but I never get any bids. Perhaps I'm overpricing, I dunno. Whatever.

I've taken a look at the financial history of the club and notice that in season 6, my first season in the premiership, my ticket sales were 4,262,470. Last season though, season 9, they were down to 2,811,180. Quite a difference. As my club rating has gone down, demand for tickets has dropped off. I've reduced my ticket prices down to around 23 from 29 or 30 from season 6. I must say I don't think I should need to reduce ticket prices below 20 to sell out. I am in the premiership after all. I look at other clubs and see ticket prices in the 40's.

Anyway, here's a screenshot of my financial history:


Disturbing huh?

I'm gonna try and get my ticket price up. After spending a lot of last season renegotiating contracts, I don't need to worry about any of those this season.

Thoughts?
