You have exceeded your overdraft. Your chairman has given you %d month(s) to recover to
DEBT CRISIS
You've tried the Chairman's patience too long. Your inability to get the club out of debt means that it's the end of the line for you as manager. You're fired.
# Sacking
DISMISSAL
Be warned! You've sold an awful lot of players, reducing your squad to the bare minimum. If you find yourself unable to field eleven men, you'll almost certainly be given the sack.
You have depleted your squad to such an extent that, should any of your remaining players pick up injuries, you'd be hard pressed to field eleven men. This blatant stupidity has earned you the sack.
Having invested so heavily in one signing, you should be made aware that, if he fails to perform, the club chairman may well take this opportunity to have you dismissed.
Your rash investments push the club towards bankruptcy. However, the board of directors has acted quickly to secure the club's financial future by showing you the door. Take your desk tidy and go.
When senior players come to you to complain about your management techniques it's time to take note. Improve your act or find yourself with a squad full of mutinous players.
Senior members of the squad have complained to the chairman about your managerial abilities - or lack of them. Rather than see playing talent leave for rival clubs, the chairman decides that it's you who should be shown the door.
You weren't given the manager's job to drag this club down. Your tactics have failed and the boards patience is wearing thin. The team will have to improve - soon.
This club sets high standards and the fans expect the best. However, under your management the team hasn't performed nearly as well as it should and the fans are getting restless. You've been warned before, but now there's no other option but to let you go.

# Relevant AOG's
TROUBLE BREWING
The police have received intelligence that rival fans intend to cause trouble at the match and so they're refusing to let the fixture go ahead. To be rescheduled.
Following the threats of violence from rival supporters, the police have successfully identified and arrested the troublemakers and as a result are happy for the fixture to take place.
UNDER THE INFLUENZA
A 'flu epidemic has reduced your squad to a mere handful. You contact the manager of your next league opponents and ask if he's willing to postpone the game until your players are fit. Fortunately, he agrees to this arrangement.
Most of the infected players have successfully shaken off the 'flu virus, so you've a full squad to choose from.
HEADING FOR A BREAKDOWN
The team bus breaks down on the way to your next league opponent's ground. Although a relief coach is called for, it gets caught in heavy traffic and doesn't arrive for two hours. Rather than delay the start into the night, the police order the match to be called off.
After your team's coach travel chaos, the fixture has been re-arranged. Rest assured that this time you're going to travel with a more reputable coach company.
FAN POWER
Prior to a Championship game there is a sit-down protest in the centre circle by a section of fans unhappy with the your string of recent losses. They refuse to leave and the police have to be called in to clear the pitch. Match abandoned.
The chairman has taken notice of the fans' sit-down protest and has made a statement to the press. This successfully placates the irate fans who promise that there will be no repeat of this unfortunate incident.
AMBUSH
Rival fans attack the team bus on the way to the ground. Windows are broken and two of your star players are reduced to tears and refuse to get off the bus when it arrives at the ground. As a protest, you refuse to play the fixture until reparations have been made.
Following the nasty attack on your team bus, the rival club pay for repairs and make a public apology, promising that they will bring their fans into line. This seems an adequate response, so you agree to play the fixture.
# Player messages (speaking to you)
A PAT ON THE BACK
%s comes to thank you for the faith that you've shown in him. He feels that he's become a better player for the extra training and tactical changes you've made and explains that he's happy to tie himself to the club for the foreseeable future.
MAKING WAVES
%s complains that he doesn't think that his playing strengths are being utilised. He also doesn't feel that he's getting paid nearly enough and will have to reconsider his future with the club. Unless things improve, he'll probably put in a transfer request.
OVER THE HILL
After giving years of sterling service to the club, %s has knees that are nothing but scar tissue and picks up regular injuries that keep him out of action for weeks at a time. The next season will almost certainly be his last - a prudent manager would start to look for a new player.
ENOUGH'S ENOUGH
It's crisis time when %s demands to leave the club. He's tired of your poor management, feels that the team's going nowhere and wants out while he can still negotiate a decent transfer fee and wage settlement with another club. If you think he's worth keeping, you might want to placate him.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There are only six months left to run on the contract of %s. He's becoming dissatisfied with the lack of certainty about the future and, once out of contract, you won't be able to make any money from a transfer. It's time to sort out the issue.
A serious lack of attention to detail over player contracts has occurred. As a result, a key player's contract has expired and he's moved on to another club. Your loss is their gain.
WHEN IN ROME
%s has failed to settle after coming to the club from %s and it's affecting his performances. Take action to remedy the situation or he may want to move on.
# Player AOG's
OUT ON THE TILES
%s was spotted out on the tiles with a Page Three stunna the night before a big match. The tabloids have a field day and you are forced to discipline him with a heavy fine and a two match suspension.
Having taken his punishment on the chin and agreed that there will be no repeat of the night-clubbing incident, %s is welcomed back to the first team.
BRUISED EGO
Heart-throb %s has been mobbed by screaming schoolgirls at an autograph signing session. One over-eager admirer trod on his foot, giving him a bruise on his big toe that will keep him out of action for four weeks.
The %s big toe is back to its best, and he's promised to avoid any autograph signing sessions in the future.
A CORKING INJURY
In celebrating the team's win, %s was struck in the eye with a champagne cork. The doctors say he'll be out for two games. In response, you have banned drinking from the dressing rooms.
The bruising to %s eye has subsided and his vision returned to perfect. However, it will be some time before you let him near a champagne bottle.
FALL FROM GRACE
%s fell off the catwalk in a recent fashion show and has broken his ankle. It'll take him six weeks to get back in shape.
King of the catwalk %s is now fit enough to return to first team action.
BOTTLE BLOND
The current trend for players to bleach their hair has claimed a victim from your team. Midfield dynamo %s opted for the new look but had an allergic reaction to the peroxide fumes. The resultant swelling around his eyes will keep him side-lined for up to a month.
Bottle blond %s has got over his allergy and is available for selection.
SPORTING INJURY
Within hours of receiving his new sports car, %s managed to wrap it around a tree. Fortunately he wasn't badly hurt, merely shaken, and the police interview about the incident went well. He will need a couple of weeks to recover from the whiplash.
His whiplash all better, and having come through training without an adverse reaction, speed king %s is ready for the first team again.
IT'S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL
Striking partners %s and %s have both been ruled out for six weeks. They attended a rock concert at the stadium and were caught in the crush at the front of the stage. %s tore the ligaments in his ankle, while %s damaged both knees. Future attendance of rock concerts has been ruled out for the entire team.
It's been a long six weeks to miss key players of this quality, and those rock fans have a lot to answer for, but at long last %s and %s have returned. Both are aching to get back into the thick of it.
GIVEN THE ELBOW
%s used his skills to prevent a mugger escaping the scene of a crime, diving at the man's feet and bringing him crashing to the ground. Although applauded as a hero, the impact of the fall damaged your 'keeper's right elbow. He will be out of action for three weeks.
Your heroic 'keeper's elbow has healed. He's fit and ready to try and avoid a mugging from the league's most lethal finishers.
BIRTH CONTROL
The wife of %s has just given birth to quintuplets. Unfortunately, the shock was so great that your player passed out in the delivery room, concussing himself in the process. He will be back in two weeks.
Fully recovered from his concussion, the new dad at the heart of your defence is ready for re-selection.
TUMMY TROUBLE
%s has come down with gastroenteritis after failing to follow the club doctor's advice to avoid eating kebabs. It will be three weeks before he's back to full strength.
%s's large intestine has got over its close encounter with a kebab and is now re-absorbing water with its usual efficiency. The re-hydrated midfield maestro is up for it once again.
A BITE FOR BREAKFAST
%s was out on his morning run yesterday when a stray dog attacked him, badly biting his hand. He'll be unavailable for selection for at least a week, after which he'll probably have to play with the injured hand bandaged for up to a month.
The stitches have been removed and %s's prepared to put the bite back into your back four.
MODEL PLAYER
%s's modelling assignments have been taking up far too much of his time recently. He's missed training and lost the edge of his fitness. You drop him for three games and supervise a more strenuous training regime to get him back to his peak.
Having concentrated all of his energies on his training rather than his preening, %s is back at his physical peak.
# Promotion and relegation
A WELL-EARNED PROMOTION
Well done. After a long, hard season you've finished top of the league and can look forward to playing in a higher division next year. The challenge then will be survival among much classier opposition.
TAKING THE DROP
Unfortunately your lack of managerial acumen has seen to it that your team have been relegated. You'll be playing in a lower division next year, with resultant lower revenue and a discontented squad. It will be a tall order to keep the team together.
TOP, TOP, TOP, TOP, TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
Congratulations, you've guided your team all the way to the Premier League Championship. You've set a new standard, which you'll have to try to maintain next season when every other team will be gunning for you.
# Governing Body: Pitch condition
PITCH BATTLE
Adverse weather conditions, combined with the inefficiency of your groundsmen, have combined to turn the playing surface into a mire. Opposition teams have complained to the football authorities who may fine you if the pitch doesn't come up to scratch.
HOLE LOT OF TROUBLE
Your home ground is full of divots and pot holes. This is as much a disadvantage to you as to the opposition, making accurate passing play very difficult.
LIFE'S A PITCH
Due to a lack of attention the condition of your pitch has fallen below the minimum acceptable standard. FIFA has barred you from playing any home games until the playing surface has been restored.
The money you invested in pitch repairs has been wisely spent. The playing surface is now back up to standard and FIFA have lifted its ban on your home games.
# Pitch condition AOG's
FROZEN OUT
Lack of attention from your groundsmen and a sudden cold snap are more than your under-soil heating can handle. The pitch is frozen solid and won't take a stud. Match officials call off the game until the pitch has thawed. You have to play your next two league games away from home.
The under-soil heating has done its job and your home pitch has thawed. The team can resume their league programme on their own turf at last.
BOGGED DOWN
The long season has taken its toll on the pitch, with large areas devoid of grass. Combined with torrential rainfall, the turf has turned into a bog. The standing water is so deep that, despite the best efforts of your groundsmen, it won't be ready in time for kick-off of this vital Championship fixture.
The groundsmen have sorted out the pitch and the postponed match can now be played.
PEA-SOUPER
A thick fog has enveloped the ground. The referee inspects the pitch and decides that visibility is so reduced that he can't allow the game to take place.
The shroud of fog has dispersed from around your ground, meaning that the cancelled fixture can now take place.
# General AOG's
POISON POISSON
An outbreak of food poisoning has decimated your squad. The infection appears to have been picked up from the lobster main course served by the hotel used for a recent away game. The FA give you special dispensation until your players are fit again, putting off your next league game until later in the season.
Your squad is back up to strength following the food poisoning alert, although it's likely to be a considerable length of time before any of them can face sea food again.
POWER CUT
Just before an evening kick-off, a sudden power cut plunges the whole area into darkness. Your stadium's flood-lights fail, causing this Championship game to be rescheduled for later in the season.
The power restored, your floodlights are back in working order. The postponed fixture can now take place.
LIFE'S A GAS
A nearby gas main has been ruptured on match day. The police are forced to cordon off the stadium and this Premiership game has to be cancelled until further notice. Your next home match is postponed while repairs take place.
The gas board have completed repairs to the leaking main and the ground is perfectly safe for home matches to be held there.
# Financial
TIME OF THE MONTH
It's that time of the month again. Your players' wages are about to be deducted. This will reduce your bank balance by %s amount.
HEADING FOR THE RED
The club is not generating enough income through merchandise and gate receipts to cover expenditure on player wages and transfer fees. You are going to have to pay close attention to finances before you slip irreversibly into debt.
MONEY TROUBLES
The financial situation is becoming desperate. The club has now failed to make a profit for a number of consecutive months. Deal with it now or face bankruptcy.
# Financial AOG's
LOSE YOUR SHIRT
The club signs a lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with a multinational corporation, adding %s to the clubs coffers over the next fours years.
HEART-THROB
One of your star players has become a heart-throb. Although he keeps all the cash from the sales of records, posters and calendars, the knock-on effect on sales of team merchandise has been dramatic. Profits increase by %s per month.
TREATED LIKE ROYALTY
Electronic Arts approaches you with a video game design based on your club, with a healthy royalty rate of %s%%. An advance cheque for %s made out to the club awaits you the moment the deal is signed.
BIG BOX OFFICE
The stadium is employed by a major music promoter for a two-day rock festival. As the music fans can occupy the pitch, it swells the ground capacity to almost %s. Your cut of the box office receipts is %s%%, netting the club a cool %s.
NICE MERCHANDISE
The commercial manager succeeds in signing licensing agreements with some of the pirate merchandisers who operate outside the ground on match days. This lucrative sideline earns the club an extra %s in souvenir T-shirt and fanzine sales at each home game.
FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS
The God Squad are in town, and your stadium is the only venue large enough to seat %s of the faithful eager to hear what American evangelist Billy Goat has to say. The receipts from this venture put an additional %s in the club's coffers.
ON SONG
Your team decide to record a song to commemorate their achievements. This zooms high into the popular music charts, making the club in excess of %s.
# Competition success messages
CASH PRIZES
Well done! By progressing this far in the Cup you've earned the club a healthy injection of cash.
CUP OF JOY
Congratulations! You've won the Cup, which not only puts silverware in the trophy cabinet and will help improve attendance figures, but also earns the club a tidy sum.
IT'S A KNOCKOUT
The next fixture is a vital cup game. Lose this, and you're out of the competition until next season.
# Function Room messages
# Level 1
ASHES TO ASHES
One of the club's devoted followers has died and wants his ashes scattered on the pitch. If you give permission the wake will be held in the function room, adding %s to your coffers.
LODGE A COMPLAINT
The Masonic lodge want to hold their monthly meetings in your function room. This is worth %s and, as the local Chief Constable is among their number, it won't do your relations with the police any harm at all.
# Level 2
PERFECT RECEPTION
You can pocket %s if you let out the function rooms for a fan's wedding reception.
GIRLS' NIGHT OUT
A group of young ladies want your function rooms for a collective 21st birthday celebration, a nice little earner at %s for the night. A lot of your players have also volunteered to turn up - imagine that.
# Level 3
NIGHT OF THE ROUND TABLE
The members of the local Round Table have chosen your function rooms for their annual dinner. This will earn the club an extra %s.
CHARGING THE EARTH?
An electronics company keen to be associated with the club want to use your function rooms for a conference, and will pay %s for the privilege.
# Level 4
HAVING A BALL
The Hooray Henrys from the university down the road want your function rooms for a black tie ball. This lucrative little number would put %s in the club's account.
MEDALLION MAN
A respected local businessman has been awarded the OBE and his friends and business associates want to use your function rooms to spring a surprise celebration. It would earn the club %s.
# Level 5
JOIN THE PARTY
A parliamentary candidate eager to be seen as a man of the people wants your function rooms for an election night rally. He's prepared to give you %s of party funds to cover costs.
LARGIN' IT
Some rave club promoters want to use your function rooms for a huge club night, with half a dozen top DJs and the biggest PA you've ever seen. You'll be in for a cut of ticket sales, which could net you %s.
# Function room AOG's
Nobody bothered to tell you that the fan who wanted his ashes scattered on the pitch was to be cremated in the function room itself. In the event, the facility was gutted by fire and will need a total re-fit.
Your decision to let the Masonic lodge meet in your function room has had an unforeseen benefit. The efficiency of policing on match days has improved notably, with the result that your stadium is now regarded as one of the safest in the league. Attendance's soar.
Weddings can be a messy business, especially when in-laws don't see eye to eye. Your function rooms incurred serious damage when a recent reception ended in a free for all, with chairs, tables and dividing walls taking the most damage. It will all cost %s to put right.
Following a 21st birthday bash held in your function rooms, the tabloid newspapers had a field day as guests told tales of drunken debauchery among the players who attended the party. You have to carpet two of your players who come under police investigation and suspend them for one match each.
The electronics company that held its conference in your function rooms was so impressed with the organisation of the event that it has decided to tie its name with the club and put up %s of sponsorship money.
The university black tie ball held at your function rooms turned into a lager-fuelled frenzy of destruction. Fortunately, the Hoorays in attendance feared for their futures to such an extent that they not only made good the damages but paid the club %s in recompense.
The MP who used your function rooms for a triumphal rally was left with egg on his face when he lost the election. To make matters worse the local party haven't the funds to foot the bill and, rather than becoming embroiled in expensive legal wrangles, you choose to write off the %s debt.
Last month's rave went off without incident. The promoters say they'll be happy to swell the club's coffers by arranging further nights in your function rooms.
# Facilities
ALL-SEATER
You have invested in converting the old terraced areas into seating. This building work will take %s months to complete and the stadium capacity will be subsequently reduced.
The construction of your glorious all-seater stadium has finally been completed. The ground is now up to Premiership standards.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED
It will take 4 months to re-build the north stand, so you'll not only have to pay for the ground improvements but also have less cash coming through the turnstiles until the stand re-opens.
The construction work involved in adding additional tiers to the east stand will last for 3 months. The whole stand will have to remain closed until this work is completed.
The additional tiers have been added to the east stand, which has re-opened with an increased capacity.
GROUND RE-OPENDED
Construction work has been completed and all areas of the ground have been re-opened.
The money you have invested improving the ground has been well spent. Your stadium is now on a par with anything in the division.
SUB-STANDARD
Your ground does not meet Premiership regulations. Any terraced areas will have to remain out of bounds until you can afford to replace them with seating.
FIRE-DAMAGE
Fire has destroyed the north stand over night. Insurance assessors estimate the damage may run into millions. Match postponed while the fire service damp down the still-smoldering remains.
Following the recent fire the ground has been deemed safe by the authorities. However, you will have to invest heavily to re-build the destroyed stand, unless you're prepared to put up with seriously reduced capacity.
# Red and Yellow cards
BOOK EARLY
Your player received a yellow card. This will add to the disciplinary points he has already earned this season.
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
The booking your player got during the match takes his disciplinary points over the limit. He will have to miss the next match.
EARLY BATH

%s has developed shin splints as a result of muscular attrition brought on by over-training. A niggling injury that can cause considerable discomfort, you will have to rest him for %i week(s) to give him time to recover.
The shin splint problem %s is suffering has recurred, causing him more problems. To eradicate the injury he'll need surgery which will keep him out of action for %i week(s).
%s pulled up with a groin strain after your last match. It's going to keep him out of first team action for %i week(s).
%s went back into training before his recent groin strain had properly healed and the injury has worsened into a muscle tear. He'll be on his back with an ice pack strapped to his groin for %i week(s).
%s incurred a nasty calf strain as a result of a kick to the back of the leg in his last game. Despite constant physiotherapy it will hamper his movement for at least %i week(s).
Training game injuries can be frustrating for both player and manager. When a player as vital to your plans as %s picks up a calf strain that could keep him on the sidelines for up to %i week(s), it's especially annoying.
The cut-up pitch at a recent away game caused %s to twist his ankle while in full flight. It's resulted in a large swelling and localised bruising that your physio thinks will take %i week(s) to subside.
Having slipped and fallen on the concrete between the changing rooms and the training pitch, %s will be out for %i week(s) with a badly twisted ankle.
In frustration at missing a sitter during a training match %s kicks the post, breaking his toe. Naturally you're livid that this display of petulance should cost you the services of one of your players for %i week(s). But that's soccer management.
%s breaks a toe when his right foot hits the ground in the act of shooting. This will keep him sidelined for %i week(s).
%s gets his foot trodden on when an opposition donkey comes in late for a tackle, fracturing his big toe. He'll have to rest up with his foot on a stool for %i week(s).
A player's home can be a dangerous place. %s kicks the fridge door shut barefoot and fractures a toe, a pointless injury that will make him unavailable for selection for the next %i week(s).
A studs-up tackle from an opposition defender wrenches the kneecap of %s out of place. The subsequent damage to delicate knee ligaments, tendons and the patella itself will require surgery, keeping him out of action for %i week(s).
%s makes a full-blooded challenge for a 50-50 ball and comes off worse. His kneecap strikes the opposing player's shin, dislocating it in the process. He'll be in plaster for %i week(s).
Having failed to warm-up properly prior to training %s incurs a painful pulled hamstring. It will keep him off the park for %i week(s).
%s over-stretches in a tackle, pulling his hamstring and ruling himself out for the next %i week(s).
%s leaps to head the ball at the same time as an opposition defender, who misses and hits the back of your player's head a knockout blow. He has to be stretchered off the pitch badly concussed and is out for %i week(s) on doctor's orders.
During a heated encounter with local rivals, %s is felled by an object thrown from the crowd. This blow to the head leaves him with concussion and keeps him out of contention for %i week(s).
Racing after the same ball, %s is on the receiving end of an elbow in the face from the opposition's hard man. This completely shatters his nose and puts him on the sick list for %i week(s).
Bad feeling among your own players boils over in training, one head-butting %s and breaking his nose. You immediately initiate stringent disciplinary procedures, but that still leaves your squad a man down for %i week(s).
A high tackle strikes %s on the thigh, resulting in a dead leg that is likely to keep him out of the squad for %i week(s).
Having taken a tumble under pressure, %s gets stamped on by an opposition defender. He has to be helped off the park and the dead leg he incurred during this encounter means he'll be unavailable for %i week(s).
A crashing fall after leaping for a high ball leaves %s with a slipped disk. He'll be flat on his back for a month and it's going to be %i week(s) before you can consider bringing him back into the team.
%s enjoys a little DIY around the house, but it costs you dear when he goes tumbling from his step-ladders and injures his back. The doctor diagnoses a slipped disk which will take %i week(s) to heal.
A savage tackle from behind leaves %s writhing in agony on the pitch, his tibia sticking out through the skin of his shin. This career-threatening injury will need surgery, traction and lengthy physiotherapy. It will be %i week(s) at least before he can play again.
%s is involved in a serious car crash which, apart from facial cuts and bruising, results in a broken leg. He's facing weeks in hospital and the doctor's estimate that it's going to be %i week(s) until he's fit to kick a ball.
%s gets stamped on while on the ground. Although the opposition player responsible is dismissed for violent conduct, it doesn't make up for the fact that your player ends up with a serious leg fracture which will take %i week(s) to heal.
In an attempt to re-capture his youth, %s has a go on his son's skateboard - with disastrous consequences. A crashing fall leaves him with a fractured leg that is going to need %i week(s) of treatment before it can take his weight.
A fractionally late sliding tackle in a training game fractures the ankle of %s. He'll be wearing an ankle cast for %i week(s).
Your plans suffer a serious setback when %s fractures his ankle during a key game. It will keep him on the sidelines for %i week(s).
Over-exuberant player celebrations after a goal result in %s taking a tumble and breaking his arm. He'll need help dressing and going to the toilet for %i week(s). Fortunately, the onus isn't on you to help out in those areas.
A night on the town, a jar too many and some roadside excavations conspire to send %s tumbling. He wakes up in casualty with his arm in plaster and it will be %i week(s) before the injury heals.
Excessive sprint training causes an Achilles tendon rupture to %s. This is a nasty one and he'll need %i week(s) for the heel to heal.
Surgery will be required on the ruptured Achilles tendon incurred by %s during a recent match. All told, it's going to be %i week(s) before he's available for selection.
%s receives a shove in the back by the touch-line and goes tumbling over the hoardings surrounding the pitch. He ends up with a broken clavicle that will keep him from playing for %i week(s).
Working out in the weights room results in a broken clavicle for %s when faulty equipment collapses under the strain. He'll be up to his neck in plaster for %i week(s).
Too much wear and tear to the %s patella ruptures the cartilage almost irreparably. He'll need surgery and then he'll have to keep his knee protected for %i week(s).
A heavy fall onto concrete causes a disastrous tear to the knee cartilage of %s. This is a bad one that will require key-hole surgery and is likely to take %i week(s) to heal.
A criminal lack of limbering-up exercises, combined with advancing age, is all it takes for %s to pick up a painful torn hamstring midway through a vital fixture. This is going to keep him out for %i week(s).
%s suddenly pulls up in training, holding the back of his thigh. Just as you feared, he's torn his hamstring badly and may need an operation to repair the damaged tendon. He'll be out of the squad for the next %i week(s).
A group of players jump for the ball simultaneously and hit the turf in an ungainly heap. %s remains on the ground, his face contorted in pain, and is stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder. You're advised he'll be unavailable for %i week(s).
%s is clean through on goal when the last defender grabs his arm, yanking him back and dislocating his shoulder in the process. The defender is sent off and later charged with misconduct, but your player will be out for %i week(s) with his arm strapped up.

# over training messages

Your players are becoming exhausted; they're doing too much stamina work. Let them save some energy for the big match next week.
If you keep sending your players to the weights room they'll muscle up, but will lose their edge in speed and mobility. Remember to vary their training routine.
The current training regime seems inappropriate for some of your players. You should concentrate on improving their skills in those aspects of the game they use most.
Some of your players are beginning to pick up injuries in training that are keeping them out of matches. Take it easy on them.
You should think about having a light training day before each game to preserve the players' fitness for the rigours of the real thing.

#Acts of God: Injuries
æKEEPER CALAMITY
Your first choice ækeeper %s damages his elbow on a rest day. Although he claimed to have been taking it easy, youÆre not so certain. His arm will be strapped up for %s weeks.
%sÆs damaged elbow has fully recovered and heÆs ready to do the business for you again defending his goal.
HEAD STRONG
%s receives a concussion in a fall, leaving him dazed, confused and with a bump like a goose egg on the back of his head. HeÆll be unavailable for selection for at least %s weeks.
The lump on his head has subsided and %s is prepared for first team action once more.
SICKENER
A stomach bug has left your striker %s with severe vomiting and diarrhoea, leaving him dehydrated and feeling as weak as a kitten. It will take at least %s weeks for him to return to full fitness.
%s has recovered from his rather messy stomach upset and, if anything, is a leaner version of his former self. HeÆs ready to inflict real damage on opposition defences.
EYE-OPENER
Severe bruising following a nasty blow has almost completely closed %sÆs right eye. The swelling will take some weeks to subside and itÆs likely to be %s weeks before his vision recovers.
%s can now see perfectly again. HeÆs intent on getting back into the first team and setting his sights on goal.
LETÆS TWIST AGAIN
Your defender, %s, has developed a nasty hernia which will require surgery. ItÆs an injury that could keep him sidelined for as much as %s months.
%s has had all of his intestines put neatly back into place under the surgeonÆs knife and has come through training without showing any after effects. ItÆs safe to re-consider him for selection.
# Retirement messages
CRIPPLING INJURY
A crippling injury forces %s to retire from professional football still with years in the first team ahead of him. ItÆs a blow to the club and heÆll be missed - but thatÆs football.
BLUNTED EDGE
%s feels that heÆs lost some of his edge in pace and skill. Rather than be relegated to the subsÆ bench or reserves, he decides to retire now. ItÆs the decision a you can respect, but it will be difficult to find someone to fill his boots.
HANGING UP HIS BOOTS
Having had enough of constant training and the physical attrition of match days, %s has taken it upon himself to hang up his boots. It comes as something of a surprise and will severely weaken your squad.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
%s has spent years with the club and has had a great life as a professional footballer. However, enough is enough and he suddenly announces his decision to quit football altogether.
# messages to trap players being stupid
Your chairman feels that your side is quite large enough, and will not allow you to buy players until you start selling some of the more superfluous squad members. He is also uncomfortable at the additional coaching burden caused by more players on loan, and has asked you not to increase your squad size in any way. Reduce the squad size and then he'll let you dabble on the transfer market again.

%s considers the contract duration and wages you've offered him to be totally unacceptable. If he's vital to your plans you should improve the offer. If not, ignore his complaints or transfer list him.
%s has been sold by his club while on loan to you. His team seemed confident that you would be able to find a replacement for him.
The length of contract and weekly wage figure you settled on have been accepted by %s.
FIT TO DROP
Your squad has been depleted by injury and ill-fortune to such an extent that you don't have enough fit players for the next game. The match will have to be postponed until later in the season.
Check the new team line-up to make sure you're happy with %s selected from the squad as a replacement.
A booking in a recent game has ruled %s out of the next match for disciplinary reasons.
A recent booking has ruled %s out of the next %i matches for disciplinary reasons.
CALLING IT A DAY
After giving the club the best years of his playing career, %s is considering calling it a day. If he retires, his wealth of experience will be missed.
EXHAUST FUMES
A combination of fixture congestion and a hard training schedule has brought some of your players close to collapse. It would be a good idea to rest some of those most seriously affected.
#A WELL-EARNED PROMOTION
After a long, hard season you've finished high enough in your division to gain promotion. The challenge next season will be surviving in a different league against far classier opposition.
CHAMPIONS!
You've lead your club to the ultimate accolade - the League Championship. Enjoy your moment of glory, but remember that it's up to you to sustain this success in the season to follow.
RUNNING SCARED?
The opposition have pulled out of the next fixture citing 'unforeseen circumstances'. Although the gap in your schedule will give players a well-earned rest, it may mean congestion later in the season.
