  1. 2001 EWR Historical Scenario by Fat Frog (with Pictures, Logos and Graphics)

    in Mods/Scenarios and Graphics

    Posted

    Unbelievable. I went through and edited a 2001 scenario back in January for a WCW game I wanted to do; tidied up workers, pictures, logos etc...then a month later someone came along and do a much better job than I did on mine. :lol: This is awesome @Fat Frog thank you! My WCW game ran its course so I'm looking forward to using your scenario with the WWF.

    Will keep an eye out for any polls too. :)

    Does anyone have a 2003 or Original Data Picture Pack put together? I'm slowly taking them from TheWho's photobucket but it's extremely time consuming, thought I'd ask just in case someone out there has one.

    Yep, I'm making one, on the previous page are all the wrestlers I haven't got. Everyone else I have/is an alter-ego of someone else whose pic I have.

    Ah awesome, looks like you've gotten a little bit further than my halfway down the WWE Roster. :blush:

    A MULTI-MILLION pound takeover of Ipswich Town was announced today.

    The club announced it has been successful in attracting a significant investor whose investment will secure the financial future of the Club.

    The proposed private investment from Marcus Evans, a successful businessman, involves the purchase of approximately £32million of external debt as well as an additional investment of £12million through the issue of new shares by the Club.

    This will stabilise the Club financially, supporting it in its ambition of returning to the Premiership.

    The investment is subject to contract, which is conditional upon the completion of due diligence.

    The transaction will result in Mr Evans becoming the majority owner and shareholder (87.5%) of the Club; importantly, existing shareholders will retain their shares, albeit as a minority group.

    The board unanimously believes the offer is in the best interests of all stakeholders and intends, subject to contract and due diligence, to recommend it to shareholders.

    Full details will be circulated to shareholders in due course, after which they will be asked to vote on the transaction at a general meeting.

    David Sheepshanks, chairman of Ipswich Town FC, said: “Marcus Evans' investment is potentially great news for Ipswich Town Football Club.

    “The Board have been in discussion with Marcus Evans for some time. We are pleased now to be able to make this announcement about the deal, that when completed, will enable further investment in Jim Magilton's team building and our quest to bring Premiership football back to Portman Road.”

    Marcus Evans, added: “I am delighted to be able to support the club of which I have long been an admirer. I believe that Ipswich Town has great potential to build upon its rich footballing heritage.

    “The club has an excellent reputation, both on the pitch and off it, as part of the local community, and this has played a big part in attracting me here.

    “The board has done a good job in difficult conditions under the stewardship of David Sheepshanks who will continue in his role as chairman, with the support of a strong executive management team.

    “Jim Magilton and the squad have made a terrific start to the season and will have my full support.”

    ONE TOMMY MILLER! THERE'S ONLY ONE TOMMY MILLER!

    I had the best fucking day ever. My favourite Town player hits the net on his return and celebrates right infront of me, bloody brilliant.

    Tommy is back! :D Town brilliant at the Fortress yet again, Town played some magnificent stuff with Counago heading against the bar with Town hitting the target left,right and centre . Billy Clarke started on the left and was an inspiration, this is like Bent & Ambrose all over again with Haynes, Clarke and the once again Man Of The Match Owen Garvan putting in a great performance. Billy really deserved a goal, and SO SO nearly got it with a thunderous effort that smacked off the post and a diving header that missed by inches.

    Jon Walters continues to make great strides, and Preston had two men on him straight from the kick off as i predicted.

    Did it stop him?

    Did it fuck, putting in a made-to-measure cross for Alan Lee to head home. Town continued to press with Clarke and Counago's efforts as mentioned above.

    Then; the best moment of the day. Fantastic hold up play by Pablo, dancing inbetween Preston defenders, layed it off to Tommy, WHACK! Back of the net, and into the North Stand. Absolutely FANTASTIC.

    I can't comment on Preston's penalty as i didnt see it, but the Greene King were certainly furious when Mellor went down. Surely if its a penalty then Alexander must get carded? If he didnt get carded, was it a penalty? The Referee who was clearly oblivious pointed straight to the spot, but then spent five minutes talking to his Assistant....i don't know, sometimes these idiots react on impulse.

    The tit then somehow found FIVE added minutes from a game with little stoppages, but the Town held on with every single player clapping the fans at the end.

    The best group of lads i've seen at Town for a long time.

    I think Today just pretty much summed up why we are not a team who will gun for the top 6 this season, perhaps a top half finish but i cannot see us finishing in the play offs. Its that extra little bit of quality we lack and the quality that we do and can produce is not replicated consistently enough, or else players like Pablo would be playing for Premiership clubs.

    The difference between us and the big spending clubs in the league is that we have obvious strengths, but we also unfortunately have obvious areas where we are woefully under equipped and patched up, areas like left midfield, the final ball, delivery into the box from wide areas, player runs in the final third and that general extra little bit of quality all over the park.

    There is only so much Jim can do, with the lets face it the measly resources he is given in modern footballing terms, I personally think he has done a cracking job so far, but there is the question remaining whether he can take the team any further in a football world that is dominated by money as has been shown in what im sure for jim must have been immensely frustrating transfer sagas of Jeffers and more recently Navas.

    I’m not one for Blaming Sheepy but this 'struggle on admirably' attitude I believe the club has i.e., not activity looking for investment, further collecting debt on a yearly basis, not providing funds for that extra little bit of quality is really cost us in terms of what we can hope for this season and seasons to come.

    I just think today pretty much summed up our current position, a great manager with a good team, but missing that extra bit of quality in the big spending culture of modern football.

    I for one don’t think Sheepy is a bad bloke, he is obviously an out and out town fan, but he and the rather unspectacular board of directors we have who lets face it are minted yet show little interest or backing are short sighted and have forgot the clubs ambition and realism for achieving promotion.

    To achieve promotion we need fresh investment, new innovative ideas from a new chairmen and really financial backing to Jim to take us on to that extra level.
