Over the past few day's and week, myself and Adam have been discussing the future of Be the Manager as a forum, last season we unfortunalty saw very low activity which of course was of huge dissapointment to those who have worked so hard to make Be the Manager a success, we saw low transfer market activites all round, and also low posting from the majority of members with a few minority working …

Changes to Be the Manager in FULL


- New skin (Background) The most obvious of the new changes and something which may take some time to get used to. The light blue adds a bit more light and colour to the site while the layout changes with the main body of the post being to the left hand side while the member is on the right hand side. However we think it looks better like this and already …

    I had a small discussion with some of the members of the site about missing team sheets and the size of the leagues etc.

    So I thought that this site would be more enjoyable with just one league with around 14-16 teams and would be easier to maintain. We could have a mixed league with Spanish teams, Premier League, Italian etc. Or just plain old Premier League mixed with the Championship league.
    There is too many missing teamsheets!

    What do you guys think??

    I have thought about it alot since you spoke to me about it the other day.

    It would be the prem and a few more from championship though as we have rosters and then people could keep there jobs that they have now.


    Im going to add a poll and it will be closed when I get back

    Please can you guys have a discussion about this as I want to know your views and I will read into it when I get back on the 28th guys!


    Thanks alot!

    I say keep as it is.

    Next season i think it would be good to bring in either one small league of Championship sides or the SPL. Aswell as bring in Champions League and Europa League to attract more members, but changing it now i think would be a huge mistake.

    I also think with people getting sacked this week like Keeble and Buzz, more prem managers should caretaker them.
    AND a new rule should be put inplace.
    When a new manager is announced and they miss their first sheet they should be sacked UNLESS they give a reason.

    The site is not strong enough to have two leagues. Think how much easier it will be with one league. And if we had Mixed foreign leagues etc it would be more fair and everyone will be happy.

    Adam will be able to run games quicker and maintaining one league is a safe and reasonable choice for a small site like BTM.
    14 or 16 teams

    Arsenal
    AC Milan
    Barcelona
    Bayern Munich
    Chelsea
    Manchester United
    Manchester City
    Inter Milan
    Real Madrid
    Liverpool
    and whoever else is strong.
    I'd be happy with any of these teams!

    Its a must in my opinnion that we drop to one league.

    If we are having a Mixed Team league I want to Bagsy "VFL Wolfsburg" as a team!!!

    *NOTE I voted for english league but wish to change to Mixed League if possible*
