I want to purchase SL.

One of Kush's posts explained, not sure if it's on this thread. Junior effectively paid 40k for SL and didn't want to sell 100% of the game. Whether a 40k offer would tempt him, not sure but it would be madness anyone offering that.

He would have clawed some back by now... lol. £100 per month for the last however many years. Plenty of money has been spent on there recently, been lots of new teams coming back and rebuilding.

I kinda get him not selling it all.... maybe we should all try and meet him somewhere at a decent price. I'm in. I wouldnt do it to make money from this. Just ensure the game continues and get the attention it needs so we can all enjoy it the way it should be.

It sounded like the £40k was to pay off Terry's (the previous owner, who actually cared about this) debts, then the family gave the game to Junior for helping them. Could be wrong.

If he expects an offer anywhere near that for the site he has run into the ground, he is living in more of a fantasy world than we thought.

With a bit of time and effort, the income for this game could be more like £3,400 a month. Think about just how many people used to play this game and buy credits.

Nobody I know has ever even heard of SL. (except the handful of friends who played it at school years ago, who would probably struggle to even remember it now)
An updated (reliable) website, with a bit of advertising could do wonders. But it seems the management would rather just pick up the odd £100 here and there.

I totally agree with this, advertising these days could work wonders, a few instagram adverts etc, also for the people who use this game everyday, I would guess around 50 users still log on everyday for definite, and if we could all get just 3 friends (which is extremely possible) to join SL, that would take it 150 users, and that’s without any social network promoting.

The game is in a league of its own compared to other management games, as you said, a little update of the site, and a new look, (but keep everything the same) could work wonders.

I wonder if there was a way we could all muck in together to keep it running, that would be great!

Even if we can’t buy it outright would junior be open to selling a percentage, maybe sell half the rights with the idea being that the consortium buying in would be aiming to increase the revenue and he’d still be entitled to his percentage.
Also on the flip side of that having someone who knows the game inside and out plus all the other behind the scenes stuff that he knows/deals with would still be an asset

When's this shower of shit going to start working again?

Ah man, My days ain’t been the same lately, I miss setting up my tactics everyday   

If this is the end, I’m happy I managed to secure 1st place in 6-1-1 and 4th in my first season in FL1
