Fresh blood

Hi guys,

I have just re-joined the game after many years out. Currently trying to re-familiarise myself with everything! I will be managing Sevilla this season, any help and advice will be greatly appreciated. It looks like it is going to be a lot of work to return this club to the big time!

Look forward to chatting to you all.

Jonny.

Welcome back Jonny, glad you decided to come back finally, I know you’ve toyed with the idea a couple of times! 

Didn’t fancy returning Empoli to their glory days? You’ve picked a tough league in Spain but Seville have a lot talent so am sure you will do really well. 

Welcome back pal, anything you need just post on here or message direct, we have quite a decent group on here these days, all of whom I’m sure will be more than willing to help.

Welcome back Jonny!

Echo Tom's thoughts - anything we can do to help just shout!

Thanks Tom, yes I was going to come back a few years ago but things got in the way. I wish I had done it earlier though.

I have a couple of questions if anybody can help?
1) Paul has sent out my first turn as a WRI file - how do I read this type of file? I have a mac and have downloaded LibreOffice to open it but it has screwed the formatting completely.
2) Can you edit the turn and send this back or will I have to print it and scan it back across?

I have a Mac as well - Do you have Office - I open in MS Word and then save as a DocX file? Change it to size 4 and then zoom in!

If you don't feel free to send and can format and send back for you!

Tend to print, fill in in red then scan - but I think you could fill out and send back using word maybe

I’m not sure on that one, I am just on a PC for which i use Wordpad.

Any Mac users on here?

I am - see above - word works well here. Think Rob might also use a Mac?

Welcome Jonny!
I don't use a MAC, but I just open the WRI file in Softmaker FreeOffice 2018 (i used to use MS Office), which I find is the best 'match' (format wise) of all the free office suites.
I then set the margins, change the font and size, then save it as DOCX.
Then I can go through my turn to highlight anything i need to look at and print off relevant pages.

That's great Andy - thanks for the tip. I have managed to change it to a dotx and it has worked pretty well! 

Welcome back to the game Johnny , Not sure our paths have crossed before , best of luck and any help needed just ask.

Welcome Jonny!

Feel free to ask as many questions, some will have already been covered in previous topics. But always willing to help

Good luck

Thanks Gary. Maybe not, I haven't played for getting on for 10 years! I was always in the Italian leagues beforehand, to a varying degree of success - mainly unsuccessful!

BTW, if anyone is interested in running a CC this turn, let me know. It would be great to see how my team will get on against the better opponents.

There will be a topic raised shortly to allow everyone to submit there teams and amount of CC and I do my best to generate the games.
However, feel free to organise your own if you have specific teams you'd like to play.

Excellent ok, that is such a better idea. Thanks!

Welcome Jonny to the joys of La Liga!
