Football Manager 2008 research - Accrington Stanley

gripper · 09-01-2008, 21:36

Hello everyone.
Sports Interactive, the makers of the PC sim game 'Football Manager', are looking out for FM fans with a huge passion for and knowledge of Accrington Stanley to research their team for the next version of the game, Football Manager 2009.

Would any true and fair Accrington supporter like to help?

A little more info for you: The task involves giving as-accurate-as-possible ratings to many aspects of each player’s game, plus keeping us up to date of all transfers at the club, as well as the financial position.

The work involves three times-yearly thorough working through of the data file, using an editing package that is simple to use. During the rest of the year, we obviously need to be kept up to date with transfers and contract news, as well as info on the club debts/finances, so that every bit of information that FM uses about Accrington is as accurate as it can be. That is the task of the researcher to provide the info, and to be up to date with the news at the club

So, it will be the researcher's call as to how Ian Dunbavin's handling, or Sean Webb's heading attribute reads in FM 2009. We would prefer the researcher to be a local to the town, to be best positioned to attend as many games as possible and to keep in touch with the club grapevine!
Email me on dean.gripton@sigames.com to discuss this role further.

Cheers
Dean Gripton (Gripper)

Wonder if Oggy will volunteer. I'm sure he would love to set Branchy's rating in FM

My son adores this game and I have to buy the new version every christmas, what a coo for him if he could say his mum helped to keep it updated

But then again I am about as statistical as Evil is to weight watching

As I remember it, I only slightly criticised his commitment, once.

Believe he was a bit of a cult at the Turf?

Or Northwich Victoria, I got them into League One on an older version of the game and then got sacked 'cos there was a glitch that meant they ended up with a one million seater stadium or something and were knee deep in debt

Oh well
