Welcome to my story in which I will take on the challenge of guiding Championship side Peterborough United as far as possible. I'll open up the story with a team report and then move things on from there. But first off, why would I pick "the Posh"?
The first thing that made me attempt this is simply the fact that they are my local club and I have a decent knowledge of the club and it's players which will give me a nice head start into my first FM 2013 game. But there is certainly more to it than that: Peterborough are a fantastic challenge for many reasons; they are a club that are well supported by a sensible chairman and has the potential to slowly progress to being a top club but through a sensible route.
Secondly, they are a local club; they try to support the side through local support and have also recently invested well into their youth setup. This gives me an opportunity to hone my abilities as a nurturer of talent which I find one of the most rewarding aspects of football manager.
Thirdly, there is an abundance of quality and team ethic in the squad already and requires very little tweaks to be really challenging at this level.
My Ambitions at London Road
I think the possibilities for this club are fairly extensive; there is decent funding and through sensible scouting and careful business work I think I can progress the financial situation of the club in a number of years: this is the long term policy of the club.
As for the playing side, I will go into this in more detail in the team report, but fundamentally I want a disciplined side with a tendency for flair in the right moments. I will look for hard working British players that have versatility and ambition - this is fundamental to our long term aims.
For these reasons, I am really looking forward to this story and I hope you all enjoy watching my team progress. A team report will follow!
