Ernie Allan - J.O.U.R.N.E.Y.M.A.N
I'm having to start a new save and a new story to go with it I'm afraid guys! I started my first save on our family PC (as it has a little more capability than my laptop on the graphics front). However, the Mrs has started an NVQ through her work and has now informed me she will be using the PC of an evening when she has her work to do! I've told her how unbelievably selfish she is to interrupt my Football Manager save, but it appears work and qualifications take priority! I considered kicking her out, but then I remembered I do have my laptop to feed my unhealthy addiction! However, what it does mean is that my previous save is gone and I'm starting a new...
This new save will see the return of my alter ego character, Ernie Allan, again! It seems Ernie is getting himself his own little fan club so I think it would be unfair to take him away from you guys! And the save will still be that of a journeyman as that is my favourite kind of game to play! Now to ensure I don't just follow the exact same path as my previous game, I going to kick off with a load of different nations. We'll be kicking off with 7 European nations! My game will begin in June 2018 and some of these nations will already be into their competitive seasons!

As always, Ernie Allan kicks off his career as an ex semi pro footballer, but with no coaching badges to his name and will start from the very bottom! The goal is simple, become the best he possibly can and (hopefully) rise to the very top of the game to become one of the greats! Someday, they'll talk about Ernie Allan in the same light as the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola!

With a whole host of clubs looking for a new manager, my applications go firing out the door pretty quickly in the hope someone will take the plunge! Every club with a vacancy gets my CV!

Within only hours, the rejections come thick and fast! Apparently, an unknown manager with no qualifications from England is not good enough for Gazientap BB, Giresunspor, Hapoel Rishon LeZion and Arendal! Fussy bastards! However, all hope is not lost as I'm invited to interviews with HIK, TPI, Gallivare Malmbergets FF, Hapoel Bnei Lod and Hapoel Imad Iksal. And almost immediately, it's Gallivare Malmbergets who offer me a position with a decent wage of £400 per week as well. They are struggling in the Swedish 4th tier with only 1 win from 9 games and I decide to delay the offer for a week to see what else comes in.

Hapoel Bnei Lod, HIK and Hapoel Iksal all decide that I'm not the right man for the job following the interview process, whilst TPI come in with an offer of absolutely nothing so are quickly told to jog on!

So it leaves me with just one option, Gallivare Malmbergets come back again with their offer. After convincing them that they were obviously my first choice all along, they agree to give me another £50 per week on their initial contract offer and it looks like I have myself a job!
