A Good Old Fashioned Journeyman Save
It's time to kick off a new save of my favourite kind....The Journeyman!
There's only really one rule to a journeyman save and that's start unemployed, with no coaching badges and no previous playing experience. Bag yourself a job anywhere in the world with any club that will take you and work your way up the ranks from there. It's basically the closest you can get to a real life football management career!
So here I am, Chris Ball, with no football management or playing experience, other than a kick-about over the park as a kid! I go searching for my first job in the lower leagues of Asia, figuring the level of football over there is probably matched closer to my skill-set than the heights of Europe right now, and my chances of securing a job would be considerably higher!

The nations I loaded up for the beginning of my save were Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and India. My game begins in December 2017 at the early pre season stage of the Malaysian season, and there are three jobs available, of which the chairman at each receives a hopeful copy of my CV!

I'm going to be updating the below table throughout my journeyman career, so this will be the quick reference point to see how far I've got and where my managerial career takes me.
