Alright here it is:
There's a few loose ends I'm going to tie up and then I'll send out an alpha version. I'm programming myself into a dead end here, i don't know what I want to make of the game so I want others to tell me how to finish it off.
Right now you start off in the regional conferences and with some management you can reach Division Two/Three pretty easily, but then you run out of cash since the players are too expensive & the sponsors don't 'catch up' fast enough. The game is intentionally programmed this way, though, but I still need to fix it.
I did fix the Crystal Palace bug, though. At the end of the first season, regardless of whether or not they escaped relegation, Palace were relegated from each division with an 0-0-38//0-0-46 record and a negative goal difference of over 1,000, simply because the end-of-season code basically made them not field a team, so they got scored upon as much as possible. I don't know how interesting that is to anybody, but whatever.
Still have to play with the attendance/ticket prices and sponsors, manager interaction is nonexistant yet necessary and I still need more random events. Perhaps going on the public-address system and addressing your fans ie Norwich??? ;D

I made major progress today, there's now a newspaper with articles, which I find cool, though they do get repetitive after a while (they are generated on a game-by-game basis, there's not like 10 articles with different variables). Fortunately, you can hack open the file and write your own articles, it's finally well programmed.
Also, made progress on putting your money into your team. I may include a stock market but I need to finish the stadium and managerial aspects of the game first.

sounds good Statto? SAAP is the only manager game I play now but I am eagerly awaiting your game.
