If we were to do math them im sure not all of these managers always play so lets say take a quarter of that away. Then put into consideration the amount of people willing to actually upload a video and you're already pretty much down to 4.5m.

Restrict the teams that can enter by their managerial level and restrict team names so we dont end up with say 3 Man U teams 3 Arsenal teams ect...

As youtube could play a major factor in this why not narrow the list down by views to get like the top 10 winners... maybe even have a top 10 failed teams selection also..

I can appreciate its a big numbers game but the numbers can always be reduced!

As to my multi teams, NO, I dont play friendlies with them... I have a team thats had money spent on it a team that aint and another 2 levels behind so playin friendlies is just pointless but I get the feeling you are familiar with having multi teams :-)

I wouldnt hate because I have spent money on the game either as that team has primarily had the money spent on my ground and facilities... players have been bought but sometimes when your teams on its last legs and you NEED a fill in why not just replace him?

As for City fans being local, you are having a laugh right? Most City fans are either cockneys or from Stockport which is outside of Manchester but I will give the original City fans some credit as they have been loyal through thick and thin which is more than what can be said for some other teams supporters!
