Hi Darren. I got it yesterday thanks. Hope you're OK bud. You'll be one I definitely miss.

Hi Martin, thank you for your message, you'll be another I miss. Not particularly in the turn itself: I was lucky enough to win against a good team this week. It's really just what became obvious from the beginning of me joining... the waiting, the irregular times, the lack of comms was a problem, the fact we can't expect it to change is compounding it. The great game, which it is, and good people, yourself included, have made the decision a lot harder but I feel more settled for having made it. As far as reconsidering it: Never say never, just extremely unliklely .
All the best. B

"I don't think I've ever known a manager top of the league to quit."
I've had 8 or 9 games, with Lytham, drew with Panthers, beat Shadow Hunters and drew with NK Rangers. After this turn my first team will be 275 rated. I've had 3 or 4 games with St Annes, just won against The Candylions have a 370 rated team and 90m in the bank. I expected promotion for both teams next season with full plans for a 40,000 seater and 60,000 seater stadium respectively, fully budgeted and full capacity.

"Lets be clear, managers don't leave the game because they are so upset that a turn has gone out on a Friday instead of a Thursday."
No but this one is leaving because you have said, and I paraphrase 'I don't have time to update everyone every time there is a processing issue' which is indicitive of the esteem with which you hold your customers. And it's isn't ever a one delay, it is delay piled on delay without warning or explanation (and that is the hard part). Its an average of 13 day turnaround and a season only 30 odd game weeks in after over a calendar year. Most of all it's the wonderful managers and superb game that deserves so much better.

"I will re-set your two teams after the current League 3 turn and if you open a support ticket I will let you know how to claim a refund."
As I'm making a principled stand I won't be claiming any refund thank you. I will however, expect the kind people who have lent me players to have them returned.

Furthermore, my details are known to Michael, PC, Darren O and Graham Hewitt. If anyone would like any info re the work I've done on Python I'm only to happy to share.

I will keep an eye on this site in the future and be only to delighted to rejoin if there is a change of approach.

With my very best wishes because you managers have been one of the main things I've enjoyed about this game so much.

Much appreciated Cris and Carlos and very kind of you both. Sincerely I wish you both (and all managers and yes, Steve too) all the best going forward. But it's not for me.
All the best
