Hello everyone.

Xpert11 is a free, online football management game that lets you build a team, set the tactics, make the press releases all whilst competing against like-minded people. It can take as little as 10 minutes a week to as much as 20 minutes an hour if you get hooked.

We have a Clarets Championship where there are currently 41 active teams managed by Clarets fans. We're about to enter our 57th season.

If this sounds even slightly interesting to you then why not give it a go? You can sign up at the website www. xpert eleven . com (remove the spaces) once registered you can find the league using the league ID 43119. I'll then need to approve the application which will take up to a maximum of 24 hours.

You will be able to either take over an existing team that's sacked it's manager (for inactivity, not poor performance - you can be as poor as you want and stay in the job!) or start up an entirely new team.

The season will be a week or two away from starting but best to sign up now to get in before the door closes and so you can get the most from pre-season.

Thanks for your time!
