necessary before each vital match.

venture into the transfer market in the quest for high class players. the bank
gives ya three options.

MEDIC
Dr Fingall O'hare has been with the club for 20 years and is the best man to
advise on the fitness of the various players in our squad. Injuries are
supported by an assessment of how long that player will be out of action.

LOAD & SAVE
After progressing to certain point in the league the game can be saved for
further use. Similarly an old scenario can be loaded in for further refinement.

SCOUT
Although relatively a new man to the club Harry Crother comes with an
impressive talent-spotting history from his previous employers. As well as
giving you information on the strengths and weaknesses of your first 11, Harry
also has his ear to the ground for new talent. He will recommend certain
players who would in his opinion strengthen and improve your team Although
good, Harry is not infallible, so it is your final decision whether or not to
purchase the offered players.

SELL PLAYERS
Sometimes it may prove to offer one of your players to the transfer market.
They may have lost their form, or never really reached their potential.
Financial strains may also force you into an difficult but necessary decision.
Harry Crother will offer you advice but you must decide what effects a sale
will have on the remaining players morale, etc. and then make your final
decision...

LEAGUE POSITIONS
All of the current leagues are given to you for your information and careful
study. You will obviously want to examine your own position of your close
competitors, but also league trends can be found that may help you in your
future planning. General team weaknesses and recent results may make you decide
to field a team with players that can cause havoc in your opposition's weak
spots.

MATCH PLAY
Details of the next fixture are given along with Harry Crother's option on the
relative strengths and weakness of the opposition . You can decide to play the
match and field an unchanged team, or return to the main screen and make any
amendments to fine tune your squad.
AT half time the match score will be available along with details of any
injuries or bookings that may have occurred to your team. Up to two substitutes
can then be selected to play in the second half. The play in the second half
will then lead on to the all-important final score. You will also be presented
with details of the match attendance and gross match receipts for the day.
A round-up off all match results is provided by the information service, so
your rivals' performances can be obtained and assessed for future reference.

TEAM SELECTION

match by clicking on the highlight bar. An arrow at the beginning of the
player's name indicates the selection. When making a selection, the POSition,
AGE, FITness, SPeeD and ABiLity of the players must be taken into account. 'F'
indicates that a player has been selected for the first eleven and 'S'
indicates that the player will be on the substitutes for the first half of the
