The Directors are:

Feliks
Zed
No1VillaFan
JasonRM

basham97

I created a list of the directors from 1-20, then used Random.org to generate a number from 1-20, then made a list at random from 1-20. No1VillaFan was number 17, and 17 was the first number generated so he's first on the list, and that's how it works. It really makes no difference whatsoever where you are, everyone will have contribute as much as each other. It's just a format I can used to keep track of who's made a decision and who to ask next. One we get to the bottom of the list I'll make another, that way you won't be able to figure out who's next. I can't reveal the order, as of course that will give away who's turn it is.

Now we need to decide upon a club and a manager, starting with club. Votes will be collected for which country each Director would prefer to manage in, then league, then club. Once that is finalised, a manager has to be decided upon. There are many ways this could go it's all down to the directors. There is only one rule, you cannot choose the first division of the country we end up with. Because... What fun would that be? Right? Who knows who we'll end up in charge of...

A team such as Le Pontet in the French fourth division?

Or a club from the Spanish third division such as Badalona?

How about a club higher up, such as Fulham in the English Championship?

It could be anyone...

Also, I've had people messaging me with their vote for league and club. So for those confused, so far all you needed to vote for was country. Whenever I need a vote from you I will PM you! Once the nation is revealed I will PM everyone for their League vote... That's how it will work! :)

Nation Reveal


So the votes are in! Therefore a decision has been made. It was pretty one sided, to be frank. I wouldn't have minded a foreign league, it would be interesting using players a lot of people aren't familiar with. However, this is long term and lower LLM in England is about as long-term as you can get. So as you can probably tell, the final verdict is...

League Reveal


After yet another pretty one-sided vote, we have came to a decision on a league. Although lower league management would have been a great challenge, we'd have next to no money to spend or players to sell for good value, which would means the directors would have little to do. Therefore, I am pleased to announce the League in which we will be operating in is the...

Voting Results:
Championship: 5
Vanarama Conference North: 3
League 1: 2
Vanarama Conference: 2
Vanarama Conference South: 1
League 2: 1
Failed To Vote In Time: 6

In order to make this challenging, we must go for one of the relegation favourites. Here is a brief description of the three clubs available to us:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/raz32v.jpg

My vote, if I had one, would be Rotherham. They have the biggest transfer budget out of the three, but they have the most room for improvement; worst facilities, worst squad and predicted to finish rock bottom of the championship.

I'll PM you all first soon, if you ever don't receive a PM when you feel you should, it is most likely because I'm too busy to update the story at that time, so am not in need of the votes/decision. I will always PM you first, to save any hassle and confusion (this is the last time I'll me saying this so take note).

And to any of you reading but not taking part, who would you most like to see us take over?
I agree about Rotherham, besides, as a northerner.. and a Yorkshireman to boot... there could be no other choice!

Club Reveal


http://oi61.tinypic.com/ivalbp.jpg

As you can see, the chosen club is Rotherham. With the total vote count being very close with seven for Rotherham, six for Birmingham and five for Brentford. I think Rotherham will be an extremely fun club to take over, and it all starts now. Hope you're all happy with the outcome!

Hope you're all happy with the result, let me know your thoughts! :-)
Would just like to point out that there is a coding error somewhere ;) And...Yay Rovram!
Predicted finish: 24th... at least that can only get better ;) Lets go the Millers!
