It's been a very busy summer at the club as 17 new players have joined! These were all a combination of loans and free transfer and obviously saw a large number of players also released. We did also manage to sell on a couple of players for decent money. Both players arent Welsh and has...

Right, so I actually rattled through the season, periodically holidaying parts as I quickly realised the massive summer squad overhaul that would be upon me and the fact a large amount of these players will be leaving the club anyway. We did have a bit of a wobble towards midway through the...

Having failed to shift any players during the early stages of the transfer window, I decided to slash the players prize money bonus which freed up a bit of extra budget to work with. Not the most popular decision to make for a new manager, but as promotion is extremely unlikely this season it...

I previously attempted to do this challenge on a previous FM version and now want to have another crack at it. The challenge is essentially to turn Newport County into a European force whilst only using Welsh players, which should in turn hopefully boost the National side. As I got to a bit of...

It has been a rather busy offseason for myself as I decided to largely overhaul last seasons squad in the persuit of an even more successful season. It has mostly been a case of picking up free agents which included the likes of an ageing Granit Xhaka. Although I did shell out £500k on a Turkish...

My impressive start at my new club continued as we started to move comfortably away from the relegation zone. After 8 games undefeated we did eventually lose at home to Fenerbahce. With the threat of relegation all but gone and too big a gap to break into the European places, we have very...

My latest managerial move hasn't gone down all too well, as I move to league rivals, Kasımpaşa S.K. It may be seen as a slightly strange decision considering how well I'd been performing with Ankaragücü. I've joined a side scrapping for survival, 19 points further down the league table...

With our limited financial resources it's been an off season filled with signing free agents and applying for jobs. As expected we are predicted to be scrapping at the foot of the table, fighting for our survival. Not the best environment to enhance my career prospects. The only club that...

We continued to battle for our League survival and ultimately my job, as I don't have the division below loaded in the game. Fortunately we gradually edged ourselves further and further away from the relegation zone as we started to get some decent results coming in. This included an away...

Our inconsistent form continued throughout November and December as we struggle to string together decent back-to-back performances in the League. It is getting a little frustrating on the touchline as I still try to come up with a solution. We then seem'd to completely lose our heads...

Very excited to see how you fare with the International job! Agree that international management isn't the greatest on FM, but I find when you do these lower Nation saves and start dominating the domestic League you are essentially only waiting for the European fixtures, so International...

Despite overachieving the the expectations of both the board and the fans, last season felt somewhat a bit of a failure to miss out on the playoffs by a single point. That with a combination of no new further investment to push for a promotion meant that I quickly averted my eyes towards the job...

Thanks! I know my laptop is definitely struggling, would have been interesting to get some obscure lower leagues, but have had to mainly prioritise the top divisions of European countries. Funny you shouts mention about a move overseas...

After a rather dismal January, we finally managed to rekindle some of our good from as I think I've finally cracked the counter attacking tactic conundrum. Big wins over fellow promotion hopefuls Barnsley, Peterborough and Plymouth meant that we were now in the playoff places with just 4 games...

We kept the points ticking over in the League, with another 2 wins out of 3. Before we got knocked out of the EFL trophy against a City side full of young prospects. They didn't have any big names playing so was a little disappointed we didn't make it a closer game and ultimately ends our...
