Since many years you have been able to write news about your team on an external site called "Managerzone Press". Like the league message board, very few users writes here and probably there are many users that doesn´t know it exists. It seems like even crew have forgot that it exists since the site says "Beta Version".
Here are two suggestions of improvements:
Integrate the Press Releases with the Team Page
If there are links on the Team Page (above "Word from the Owner") people that visits your team know that you write Press Releases.
Subscribe to someones Press Release
Then the team/user you have subscribed to writes a press release, the "Team News" button shines yellow. There can also be your own special page with the press releases from all the teams/users you have subscribe to. The subscription list could either be seperate from the friens list or the same.
Comment Press Releases
It can be fun to get feedback on what you write. Otherwise you don´t even know if someone reads it.
If it was easier to see when someone write a Press Release also many more people would write them. In the Swedish forum many teams have their own thread there they write about there team but I think that if they improved Managerzone Press it would be a much better alternative.
What do you think?
