So I have arrived in Scotland to start my new job with Albion Rovers. Similar to Newry, this is a club that is also on the rise. Having spent most of their recent time in Scotland's League 2, they managed to win promotion to League 1 in 2015, finishing 6th in that division in 2016 and 8th in...
So it all went wrong in my first job in management. My board set me a points target of 9 points from 5 games but I only managed to get 7 and this proved to be the final straw. I had previously stated that if I was sacked the journey would be over but in true journeyman style, I have decided to...
A pretty poor month in all honesty. Two 0-0 draws, against two sides in the division who are doing pretty well admittedly, is still not good enough. 3 games and an entire month without my team scoring is a little worrying but I'm hoping that this is just a minor blip. The 2-0 defeat to Sport &...
A pretty decent start to my career in management. Lurgan Celtic are in the division above us and we were the better side for the majority of that game eventually losing 9-8 on pens!!! Despite that being a difficult result for me and the lads to take, we bounced straight back in the league...
So this is my complete squad at the moment. In terms of Goalkeepers Peter Murphy is head and shoulders above our backup GK, Symon Ferguson who is 41! Murphy is no spring chicken at 34 but he will defo be getting the no 1 jersey this season. Our defence is pretty thin and what we have apart from...
Thanks mate, my first time posting an FM story so really hope it's going to be a good one. Good luck with your pompey story, will be following with interest as I've done that save in the past.
So after a number of job applications and interviews, I have been given my first shot at management by the board of Newry City A.F.C. The most prestigious (and only professional) club I had an interview with was Grimbsy Town but unfortunately I didn't secure the job. I kinda expected not to get...
So this is a list of the current vacancies. I don't imagine I will get anywhere near some of the bigger clubs on that list like Birmingham and wolves but I will apply for all positions and take whatever I get just to get my foot in the door of management.
Next Post: The Journey begins with my...
So as you can see my stats are pretty awful! That's ok though as this is what we would expect starting out with a Sunday league rep. I plan on asking my first club to allow me to start studying for my coaching badges right away. But what club will that be?
This will be a journeyman save with the ultimate goal of becoming top of the hall of fame, winning as many trophies as possible along the way.
Aims
1) To become top of the hall of fame.
2) To win the champions league at least 3 times...
