What's your opinion about the game?
Comparing what it was back in the old days and how it has evolve now ?
The basics are pretty much the same, I like some of the changes , hate others but it's all working toward a better final product.
You are managing Middlesbrough in EPL, the most crowded league in Pledger's World, and you have been a model of consistency. How do you manage to keep up with all this competition?
It's my home club, I play the game similar to the old days , key is to keep everything in reasonable order, one silly thing can mess up a whole season.
In the last few seasons you saw two fierce managers challenging your EPL Crown, Paulo Francisco with Everton and now Berhan Karagoez aka BK with Leeds. Despite the first one left the game you faced some hot competition. What can you tell us about that?
They are both very good managers & we have beaten each other to the title a few times, Leeds are a good work in progress so it'll get tougher for us as the game moves on.
The Champions League seems to be the last trophy missing in your resume. What do you think are the missing pieces for you to reach that goal?
A lot of luck , couple of semi's last few seasons , we're not the best team in game by a long way but the gap is slowly closing.
Last but not least, what would you like to be improved in ManagerSim?
More communication between the initiative board & the rest of us & maybe better testing of features before they are implemented.
