Here’s how it basically works.
You have a budget of 100m to purchase a squad with the following stipulations:

1. You MUST have a minimum of 6 players from the country designated to you.
2. You MUST have a minimum of 3 players that were born on or after 1st October 1991.
3. You CANNOT go over the squad limit of 25.

To buy your squad then you must make sealed bids for the players. How this works is that you check the value of the players on TM, the MINIMUM cost is what their value is on there, but you can bid more than that as others may wish to buy that player. The maximum value of a player that you can bid for is £12m although may wish to bid more than that in order to acquire him.
So for example;
Bull places a sealed bid of 875k for Paul Scholes as that is the TM value.
Viva places a sealed bid of 1m for Scholes as he thinks others may be bidding for him.

Viva therefore wins.

ALL squads are PM’d to myself and a designated neutral party (to ensure fairplay I will send my squad list first so it cannot be said I’ve gazumped anyone). I then reveal who has got which player in the first draft.
We continue the process until everyone has then spent up and we move onto the Star Player bid which works under the same principle although you have a budget of 25m + whatever remained from your normal bids for ONE player who has a value up to 25m

Clarification: Betting players or money between 2 clubs is strictly prohibited

Like driving cars without a licence? I'll be honest, that's a biggie.

No-one can question Forest is a bigger job than Crawley, so i'm not biting. We stole Richie Barker from Bury and went further in the League Cup than you Euro Division Homepage XXXI - Page 19 3559488474

For some reason I always end up seeing the episode of Premiership Years where Big Ron takes over and goes to the wrong dug-out. Those were the days.

I think we have them all. Hero said he would only do them today if he was pressurised enough as he was planning to do something else

by Marky Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:36 pm

Basically Bull, PM Hero and ask him yourself.

by Bull Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:36 pm

What about Ian Woan and Steve Stone?

They could have a hit sitcom called Stone and Woan based on 1990's Nottingham Forest. Guest starring Colin Cooper.

by **Afro** Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:39 pm

Steve Chettle could star as their dad. Would Colin Cooper be sporting the bleach blonde hair

by GSC Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:40 pm

Forest since the 90s would be a hottie sitcom on its own lol

by sodhat Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:41 pm

BigFellasAfro wrote:Steve Chettle could star as their dad. Would Colin Cooper be sporting the bleach blonde hair from his famous hattrick game?

No, because we'd also have Jason Lee on the show and we don't want people to think it's not a serious work of art. They'll think it's all silly, with silly hair.

by **Hero** Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:41 pm

I think they should bring back the mid 80s Chelsea players John Bumstead and Nigel Spackman. Oh as a child how I laughed at the Chelsea page in my Panini sticker album.

by Beer Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:42 pm

Lars Bohinen!

by sodhat Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:46 pm

Can we have a rule where we all get to draft one mid-90's premier league player?

I'd have either Jan-Aage Fjortoft or Rod Wallace.

by Beer Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:47 pm

Hamilton Ricard.

by GSC Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:48 pm

Brett Favre

by **Hero** Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:48 pm

Go back over the years with Forest and they had some real quality players at times.

Keane, Sheringham, Des Walker, Pearce, Gemmill, Shilton, Dawson, Webb, Hodge, Francis, Mills, Birtles.

Oh and Grant Holt.

by Bull Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:49 pm

hero has everyone sent them in?

by Marky Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:50 pm

Until you beat him.

Let me know if you plump for Rod Wallace because Fjortoft would have been mine.

Otherwise, I'm going for Stig Inge Bjørnebye

Still a fan of this story;

Brian Clough: Edward Sheringham?
Sheringham: Actually I prefer to be called Teddy.
Brian Clough: Right you are, Edward.

I still have to check it is the same Grant Holt that is playing in the Premier League now, coz I just can't believe it. I assume it's like "There's only two Gary Stevens" from the eighties

I wouldn't say I'm the best, but I'm in the top 1.

Clough had so many god tier quotes

by GSC Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:54 pm

I wouldn't worry, Grant Holt is coming back.

Bull, when on a long car journey are you the kid that asks every two minutes if you're nearly there yet?

by **Afro** Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:55 pm

We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right
