2019
It's not you, it's me.
Guys the time has come for me to bid SM farewell, I'm just not getting the enjoyment I once had with the game. I think the post last week was more based towards my feelings towards the game and not reflective of a solid well run set up and still the best set up on SM. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about cutting out things I don't get enjoyment out of and SM is one of those. I wish you all the best in the future and will occasionally check up on the blog to see what's happening. In a separate non t100 related message I will also be releasing bottom 50 game world id(344221) broons old set up as I'm taking a full break from the game so anyone involved in that set up too I hope someone takes on the reigns and keeps it ticking along nicely. Cheers lads it's been a blast.
Beddows to leave Top 100 ?
Real Madrid Referendum:
Real Madrid announced months ago that they would be holding a referendum with a simple question "in" or "out" of Marsden's GW and today is the day of reckoning - ALL 50 Real Madrid players, plus Beddows and Roy Keane have been allowed a vote with the question on the ballot paper simple:
Beddows has campaigned quite publicly for "Leave" - even though he doesn't actually know what it might actually mean - he just likes the idea and wants more power!
The main messages behind it - "If we leave we will be able to trade much better with external clubs like New York Cosmos and Deportivo Wanka." he said.
Beddows has been spotted around the streets of Madrid with a big bus which claims that "Leaving Top100 will be easy" "Save millions of SM coins a year" and that by leaving "No Hamburg, Juventus or Anderletcht players will ever step into Madrid as free movement will be abolished!" Beddows explained that ending free movement of players will benefit Madrid as it will allow for local talent such as Reece Hutchinson (73 rated) to develop into a 99 rated superstar.
Keane too is a big supporter of "Leave" - "Marsden enforces his rules on us - he makes the laws and we must follow - Marsden is similar to the European Union Commissioners! And everyone knows that their laws are 100% binding!"
As for the other side of the argument "Remain" it is squad player Mantolas who is leading the calls:
"By remaining in Top100 we will be able to trade freely with Scallotti and Brar..." "The ability to move freely will allow us to trade top youth talent!"
It remains to be seen what the result will be - but it is expected to be close - surely Real Madrid can't leave Top 100?
Frankbet have "Leave" lagging behind "Remain" at present but it is likely that months of negotiations could follow.
Result expected later this week!
