Hope not

I wonder how well my poor, feeble laptop will deal with having to load 92000 players and 20 countries with like 110 leagues?

So this is the plan for the new career. I'm gonna start off with no badges, no anything, and slowly get to the top. But, I've exactly 20 countries to do this in. These countries are: Egypt Ethiopia The Gambia Costa Rica Jamaica Bermuda Brazil Colombia Bolivia New Zealand Iran Uzbekistan...

Playing up front for Bayern - not bad, not bad at all!

First game finished, and I am raging. We were playing fellow strugglers Stevenage, who were in 21st place, and I thought it'd be an easy game. But guess what happened? Our star defender got injured, another defender got sent off, another defender conceded a penalty, and we lost 3-0 to a...

So, January has come at last. I got an interview at Premier League bottom side Norwich, but in the end it proved futile, so I applied elsewhere. After a while, I accepted a job offer from Newport County, 23rd in League Two (quite a jump from the depths of the Vanarama North I know) for a one...

After making a few more signings for Gainsborough (just because), I resigned from my duty, and began a journey to the month of December 2017, to save another team from relegation.

THE AWARDS Despite Bevans' rather good performances, I must say I'm surprised that Waterhouse didn't get a nod for a single individual award. I'm even more surprised that McWilliams, Jarman and Sparrow, who I never gave a game to, made the team of the year ahead of O'Sullivan, Hawkins and Joe...

APRIL 2017 An okay start to the month, with a 1-0 win to Chorley courtesy of a Rothery goal. We were disappointing in a 1-0 loss to 10 man Stockport. We managed a shock win against a very strong Salford side, with goals coming from Waterhouse and Rothery. A 3-0 win against the side I turned...

Thanks Neavie, I'm glad I've actually come up with something slightly original haha March 2017 2-0 win to Nuneaton, with goals from O'Sullivan and Waterhouse. Managed to beat AFC Fylde 3-0, with O'Sullivan and Waterhouse (x2) again scoring the goals for us. Our undefeated streak was about to...

Thanks Nathan, glad you're enjoying the idea! League Table After 4 wins, a draw and a loss, I've taken this side from 21st up to 16th. We're still only 3 points clear of the dropzone, but now 7 points clear of bottom. It's also worth noting that we're 7 points from the top half of the table...

FEBRUARY 2016 A much needed first win for us as we beat Alfreton 3-2 in an exhilarating game, with Calum O'Sullivan scoring on his debut, but our right back Matt Bevans got injured. We upset the odds by beating Harrogate (who were 1/6 to win) 3-0, but our striker Nathan Jarman got injured...

First match played, and it's a 2-1 loss to Stalybridge. I'm a bit disappointed. Not the best of starts to my 'relegation saviour' campaign, huh? I also made my first few signings. Avis Ganiyu joins us on a non-contract deal. He's formerly of Sunderland, and will play as a rotation player...

The first of January came, and I applied for the three teams in the bottom places in the Vanarama North: Gainsborough Trinity, Brackley and Bradford Park Avenue. All of these teams approached me at the same time with the contract offer, so I wasn't sure which to pick. In the end, I chose...

(I'm working on a backstory here) So basically, my intention for this career mode is to simulate a save to the 1st of January ever year, and take over any team in the relegation zone who don't have a manager. However, at the end of the season, I must resign from the post and repeat the process...
