The European League Challenge Inspired by KLIPPYBO's and StoneCold's Champions League challenge, I've decided to come up with a challenge of my own and will be writing this story as I go. The challenge is to win every one of the top 20 leagues in Europe, but with rules too.... 1. You...

Chris Ball Is On A Mission And that mission, is to become the best manager in European history. It will be no easy task, with Ball starting out his career in management with no experience, no qualifications, and at this moment in time, no job! But the 32 year old Englishman is a determined...

A Simpler Story My recent story attempt was a new type of story, with all posts coming from news outlets, as I kicked off a new save with Welling. It seems that this type of story is not too popular with readers as there was a **** of a lot of text to read and I think most prefer to skim over...

I wanted to try writing a story from a different angle. It seems that all the stories on this website are written from a first person perspective. I know some have incorporated the use of 'news articles' but I wanted to write a story that was strictly from a media perspective looking in. So...

A Previous Story I've been a fan of the Football Manager series for a number of years now and to say that I'm addicted would be a massive understatement, racking up well over 1000 hours on last year's FM17 version. I'd never written a story before until only a few months ago when I was...

Who Is This Chris Ball Fella? Chris Ball is the new kid on the block when it comes to English managers coming through the ranks. Or so I'd like you to believe! The reality though, I'm a nobody in the world of football. If you was to ask any manager in the game 'Do you know who Chris Ball...

Best of British... Making A Mark In South East England! For all of you that have followed me on here, I've not been writing stories for long. I did a journeyman story towards the end of FM17 and I have a running journeyman save on FM18, to which there is an accompanying story. Now I've not...

SAVE CORRUPTED Sorry guys but I went to load up my game this morning and it said my save was corrupted and couldn't load it. Luckily I was only 2 league games into my first season. I only ever used 1 running save on FM and this has never happened to me before, but I imagine I'd be a lot more...

This is my story... This is my first attempt at writing a story, following inspiration taken from reading a number of others on this website. Hopefully you will follow (and enjoy reading) all my trials and tribulations as manager of Nottingham Forest football club. So why have I called my...
