Dave Middleton, manager of Clyde

Well some of the Veteran Managers here will remember me and the controversy that surrounds me from way back.

I will not argue the topic any more but here is the jest of the facts.

I spent HOURS and DAYS and even MONTHS going into YEARS working on this game whether or not it was as the main Data Collector, GamesMaster Moderator to name but a few. While many were playing the game I and a small group of others worked on trying to take SoccerSim forward.

It was a BETA and I went on the forums and asked for volunteers to help test the Youth System and whether or not the amount given each week actually had an impact on the quality of the Youth coming through... I had a couple of volunteers and added cash to their clubs to enable them to test the Youth System.

I was then accused of cheating by some of those player who forgot our job as Beta Testers was to test the game. I gave my log in details to Peter Strand and another person who was really well respected within the game and they checked my account and admitted that NO team I was affiliated with had prospered in any way. the money went to other Manager NOT ME!

I felt betrayed by some of the Managers who just played the game and hadn't backed me after all everyone new how much I did to try and just help out. This lead me to leaving the game and now I am just here to play.

Robert Schmidt, 34 years old, father of 1 boy, married. From Zevenhuizen, The Netherlands. Played the game in the early years. Played Holland and started in Malta. Just bought myself a company so freakin busy. So after this season i have 2 choices: Manage Ajax or quit playing. Trying to become champion in France, but suck at tactics which Lyon and PSG master, so will never be champion. Would describe myself as a great teambuilder but lousy tactisians which kills the game for me. Ajax-supporter in real life!
