Therefore, whilst I am making changes to the game I don't see the harm in updating team names. I'll start with Belgium as this was what I was mailed about AND it's the first country in the game alphabetically so hopefully I can go through in order.
Below is my proposed list of changes for Belgium. I know there are a lot but I haven't done it for years! Let me know your thoughts of the below so I can finalise the list before I implement it. If you manage any of the teams below and want to discuss your team name change then feel free. There is scope for some to be changed. Especially if you prefer another team that is real and not too far down the Belgian league system.

There is one other team in the Italian league I know of that it's name changed.
ReplyDeleteAC Perugia changed to Perugia Calcio.
Thanks - I shall try and remember it when I come to do the Italian teams.
ReplyDeleteI had a look on Wikipedia and R.A.A. Louviéroise merged and became Football Couillet La Louvière, any chance of using the merged name.
ReplyDeleteps. Also found out that they were involved in game fixing and the like, any chance of incorporating that so I can keep up the tradition!!!!
Anthony, are you saying the Mystify FA should fine your club for match fixing!!??
ReplyDeleteJonathan,
ReplyDeleteEventually I suspect I would be fined, but in the mean time I would not mind a couple of years to wrought the system and build up the team finances to an astronomically obscene amount.
Anthony,
ReplyDeleteThere is every chance - this team has dropped down to the lower reaches of the Belgian league system from what I can gather.
Are you the manager of them?
