It looks like I'm talking to myself but I'm bumping this thread anyway, our current season is finishing this Tuesday and we are looking for more managers/teams to join up.
Just to clearify things, the game is totally free, there is no betting involved, it is just for fun but if you want your team to do well you dare not neglect them.
One of the best aspects of the game is the manager's possibilty to release daily press statements (max. 3 pro day) which of course gives you the oppertunity to unleash your alter-ego, all good natured banter, football is the game and this is -as it says on the box- just a game.
Try it, if you don't like it simply don't log on anymore. The new season should be kicking off in two weeks or so.
