OK, things are going OK in the new save file. I'm top of the league after my first game, which is only slightly better than last year. My preseason was a mixed bag, winning against lower or similar teams but being beaten by Tranmere.

Sorry guys. My save file got corrupted, so I lost all my progress in this save so far, which means I'm going to have to start over. I think I might do things slightly differently, and attempt to keep some players that I lost. I'll have first update for the new save tonight.
Sorry its been so long since the last update, I was busy yesterday then went back to school after the holidays today. I'll get some more updates out this weekend.
October Roundup
For Vauxhall, October has very much been a month centered around the FA Cup. Our over-performance has been taken to a whole new level with our FA Cup successes, but important first team players leaving and lack of wages to replace them threatens the club's promotion chances...
I hate this having virtually no wage budget thing! I'm not able to sign players on contracts due to lack of wage budgets, so the players are leaving, and I don't have enough wage budget to replace the players who are leaving. What's worse, no-one seems to want to come on loan to me, and very...
September Roundup
A not to bad month, not as good as August, but not bad.
Vauxhall Motors 0 - 0 Hinckley
A rather disappointing start to the month, I must admit. I was slightly worried that my luck had run out after this game, that my team had realised they were supposed to be bottom of the...
August Roundup
I have to admit, after the game against Lancaster pre-season, I was not looking forward to the league. I expected a tough season. To be honest, I wasn't convinced that this season would be any more than a fight to avoid relegation. So far, I've been wrong. Very wrong.

They have a stadium capacity of 2500, but only 266 seated. Hopefully we'll get a stadium upgrade before the rules about all-seater stadiums come into play.
Anyone know of any full backs and wide midfielders who'd come to Vauxhall on loan? I'm really struggling to find any, and my board can't...
PRE-SEASON
Vauxhall Motors 4 - 1 Fleetwood Town
Great first game in charge of the club. This is the only game I've had a full squad and you can see by the score the quality of it.
Goal scorers: Nathan Pond (o.g.), Mustafa Tiryaki, Neil Prince, Michael Jackson
Vauxhall Motors 1 - 1 Tranmere...
TRANSFERS
Budget - £0
Wages - £500
We haven't had much luck as far as transfers go during the pre-season. We've lost a few of our most important players due to severely restricted wage budgets limiting our ability to sign them on any contract whatsoever. It also limited our ability to get new...
TACTICS
STARTING TACTIC
Formation: 4-4-2
Philosophy: Balanced
Strategy: Standard
This tactic has gotten me some pre-season success. Using it, I beat Fleetwood 4-1 at home and drew 1-1 with Tranmere, also at home.
I picked this tactic because it is easy for the players to learn and get good...
Hi. I hope you enjoy my story. It's my first one, so don't be too mean.
Here's a brief run down of my team:TEAM REPORT
Goalkeeper
My starting goalkeeper is pretty good, one of the best players in the team, in fact. The backup however is pretty bad. I might get a replacement backup, but that'll...
