A Damned Liverpool

From the producers that made The Damned United comes a new film:

Taking over one of England's top football clubs Liverpool FC, previously performances of him infront of the Kop did nothing to gain support from the Anfield Faithful. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Rafa Benitez and how much he is missing life back home in Croatia with Dinamo. Written by Jeremy Perkins

How the HECK did you get Forlan?

Biscan “ These first 10 games have been very promising good progression in the cups and we are 4th in the league which is above expectations. Unfortunately Zambrotta has left to join Varese while Munua has joined Nacional, we have also released Andy Bishop and Sebastian Carole to free up wages for new younger players.”

I am also happy to announce the appointment of my new assistant manager Lorenzo Squizzi who was the captain at Basingstoke and retired this year due to a back problem.

Forlan is going to be great. Such low wages, amazing.

A great squad right there! Promotion should be your only objective now!
