			=='''Youth squads'''==
			Several previous experiments with both the youth squads and youth academies had mixed results. No promising candidates ever came from the academy and the youth squads only produced a few transferable players per year. The most recent experiment with the youth academy has been much more successful. Although the profit from youth sales hasn't come close to making up for the $800k+ spent on the academy so far, there are several promising players in the system who should generate large amounts of money for the mother club.

	After taking over midway through season 32 the management decided training keepers would be a good way to get a competent team on the field. A reasonably priced 18 year old Chile named Javier Udaeta was purchased for a mere $43,000 to be the starting keeper. Nothing interesting happened the rest of the season and the Spammers ended up finishing 5th in the series while filling the team with cheap mercenaries to keep them reasonably competitive.

			Life in IV wouldn't be quite so easy. With a new training program and a new coach the team lost 8 of its first 9 games. In the end the coach's strategy of conserving team spirit while the new trainees developed paid off as the team went on 4-1-0 run to finish the season and avoid auto-relegation. The qualification match was a close one but the Spammers ultimately prevailed with a golden goal in the 93rd minute. The next followed a similar path. A slow start in season 41 left many fans wondering if the team had what it takes to stay alive in IV. Luckily some teams went bot or just gave up mid-season so the Spammers were able to destroy them and save team spirit for the competitive games at the end. This strategy gave the team its 4th title in 6 years and sent them up to III. Just two promotions away from Major League.

	*'''~~Getting started~~'''		*'''The bottom feeding years'''
	**After taking over midway through season 32 the management decided training keepers would be a good way to get a competent team on the field. A reasonably priced 18 year old Chile named Javier Udaeta was purchased for a mere $43,000 to be the starting keeper.

Nothing interesting happened the rest of the season and the Spammers ended up finishing 5th in the series while filling the team with cheap mercenaries to keep them reasonably competitive.

	*'''Always a bridesmaid'''		Season 33 was the first full season under the new management and would immediately prove to be much more eventful than season 32. When the season started with a cup match several players appeared noticeably younger than they were at the end of last season. Two of those players were the club's keeper trainees: Javier Udaeta and Hu Hangping. How they found the fountain of youth remains a mystery but the 6 weeks of extra youth was a welcome surprise. Another surprise was the team's performance. After getting blown out in the cup and losing two of the first four games another mid table finish seemed inevitable. Instead they won 6 of the final 10 matches and ended up with 30 points and 2nd place. Real Pudge had a perfect 42 points and promoted to division V leaving the title up for grabs in season 34.

	*'''History repeats itself'''		The next two seasons were more of the same. The Spammers finished second to stinkyfeet both times and couldn't get over the hump until they promoted out of the league. With the main competition gone, the Spammers won the title two years in a row, winning a qualifier the second time to advance to V.19
	**The next ~~season looked like it would be a three way fight for first between stinkyfeet, OAKLAND DYNAMITES, and Spamming~~ Spammers~~. All three teams performed very well. Each one~~ finished ~~with over 30 points and huge goal differentials in their favor but stinkyfeet came out on top despite losing both matches to the Spamming Spammers. A shocking loss in the~~ second ~~week~~ to ~~the young Cambridge Football Club along with disappointing draws against groupo extreme (later FC Prestonburg) kept it from being a potentially great season.~~ stinkyfeet ~~went on to lose his qualifier so season 35 was likely to be the same as season 34. Spamstastic forward Björn Hagfeldt was the series leading scorer. The first~~ and ~~only time in club history that a Spammer has received that award.~~

	*'~~''History repeats itself again'''~~
	**Despite a season opening loss to main rival stinkyfeet, everything seemed to be going well for the ~~Spammers in season 35. Five consecutive wins followed and weeks 7 and 8 were against a new team that looked easy to blow~~ out~~. Unfortunately that cockiness backfired in week 7 when the Bay Area Sharks won 1-0 and the second half of the season ended with a series~~ of ~~bad matches and not a single win in~~ the ~~last four weeks~~. ~~Despite such a disappointing year~~ the ~~team still managed to finish 2nd for~~ the ~~third consecutive season. Some argue that~~ the ~~poor finish was due to a change~~ in ~~the training regime. Javier Udaeta had developed into~~ a ~~supernatural keeper and already turned 21 so training him further wouldn't benefit the team much more. They decided to get even better defensively by working on~~ a group of young defenders. Wingers Esa Simula and Ole Løbeck did not approve of this move because formation changes would put them both out of a job. Løbeck was later sold but Simula expressed an interest in coaching the ~~team in the future so he stayed.~~

	*'''Will things ever change?'''
	**The team made significant midfield upgrades in between seasons after hiring the brilliant Emil Naray and outstanding Christian Stolfi in an attempt to offset the team's lackluster scoring. For the moment it appears to ~~be paying off since the team is tied for first with 25 points but wins on goal differential. Even if they can hold on to first it will take a qualification match~~ to ~~promote~~.
