That's correct, the bottom team is relegated from the eredivisie.
But there's no relegation from the eerste divisie, and that's where it is closed off.

Are there even any professional teams below that level? Holland is a tiny country.

No, they are all amateur below the second division.

I was wondering of you had visited that castle. I think its in Gloucestershire..Its from the same eri where the woman hiked the Cotswald Trail..that is something I definitly want to do. Hiking away from civilization is like finding complete freedom and harmony.

I'm sure it would be better for everyone if they still did that today then. I wouldn't be able to annoy everyone if that happened.

I was refering to myself there. If you're looking to die, the next time England are playing go into a pub and say quite loudly..."Who could be a fan of those pansies".

Death will come quickly.

UKHS..another interesting FM2007 challenge

Quote:

You may have seen the "worst team in the world" threads last year that people were taking part in- here is one of them

. Well this year it's back in the form of a challenge where we will try to find the worst team in the world

The Aim

To turn the potential "worst team in the world" into the best team in the world by winning the continental competition (whatever it may be) and then the WCC crowning you as the champions of the world in no more than 10 years

. This challenge also has an important sub-aim of finding the worst playable team on FM

The Rules

Load a game from either belgium, brazil, n ireland, norway, turkey, denmark or sweden (i have judged them to be the best leagues for this challenge i.e- reputation, amount of leagues) with a large database and no added players. Attribute masking MUST BE ON as this makes the challenge harder and more realistic

The club you choose from those leagues must be the following- Relegation candidates in the bottom league (bottom 4 in the media prediction), have a local reputation at the very highest, have a stadium capacity of no more than 5000 and a 50K bank balance limit- these restrictions in picking your team will hopefully help us find THE worst team in the world

It is now up to you to manage this club all the way to top flight glory, then to champions of your continent and then onto champions of the world!

You may not move clubs unless you are sacked.

Any form of international management is not allowed, until you have completed the challenge.

There are no restictions on assigning feeder/parent clubs, and you may sign any players you like (although I would expect people to be only signing the players for whom they could request a scout report).

No external utilities such as FMScout should be used and the database should be uneditied. Should SI release a data update, this would be allowed. It is advised that people should update using the latest patches as they are released.

Rules for this Thread

Player naming is allowed. (This is a warning for those of you who do not wish to see this)

Discussion on tactics is allowed. (This is another warning for those of you who do not wish to see this)

Screenshots for anything are encouraged.

A screenshot of the clubs information screen is needed when you start your game to show that your chosen club meet the challenge specifications

Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing really badly.

At the end of every season, could everyone post some kind of season review, including at least a screenshot of a league table. If you give this a title in bold it makes it a bit easier for me to find to update the list.

There is no winner or points system here, but I will try and keep an updated list of all people taking part in the challenge. Please do not update this list yourselves, I will take care of it and update it at least once a week.

How to Post a Screenshot

1. While in FM, press the 'Prt Sc' button (usually next to F12 on your keyboard).

2. Open an image editing program such as Paint and paste the image

3. Save the file as a JPEG

4. Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket or Imageshack

5. Post the direct Url to the image here.

And remember- it's not how good you are, it's how bad you are

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have chosen Glebe Rovers from the Northern Irish bottom league for this challenge as they are truly terrible and will post a screenie of their club info to show that the club are illegible for the challenge
