A Year Back/ Premier League Challenge (FM14)

[Sunderland01]

Welcome to my fist ever Football Manager story! As you all know, we are currently in the 14-15 season and Chelsea and City are challenging for the title. Southampton were surprise candidates for a Champions League place, only to be swiftly replaced by West Ham. Hull are fighting relegation hindered by second- season syndrome, and Leicester are aiming to become the third team to stay up after being bottom at Christmas. So, all of this has made me think "What would happen if last season went differently?" So, instead of just making FM predicting the future, I'm also going to make it predict the past! When I get home from holiday in a few days, I'll be loading up last year's game, un-installing the LFC-Marshall update and managing a PL side!

When I'm done with my first team, I'll move on until I have completed 20 sides while they're in the BPL. They don't have to be the 13-14 Prem sides.

Sorry for putting it on this sub- forum but it won't get attention anywhere else.

HOLLOWAY SACKED BY PALACE
Tags: Crystal Palace, Barclays Premier League, Football, Ian Holloway
In a shock announcement, Crystal Palace have sacked manager Ian Holloway, who got the Eagles promoted from the second division. In an official announcement by the football club, Holloway was deemed "a Championship manager." The club's full statement was that, " We thank Ian for what he's done for the club, but when it comes to it he was poor at Blackpool and is a Championship manager. Ian Holloway got us here, but we won't stay up with him at the helm. As a result, his contract has been terminated with immediate affect."

This is almost an exact replica of the announcement made by Vincent Tan yesterday. Cardiff may face rivalry to find their new manager. West Ham also sacked their manager a fortnight ago. All three are looking at Ryan Giggs, the Welsh midfield maestro for United. They are all willing to allow the player to continue his duties at Manchester's most reputable club as long as his managerial duties come first.

Jeff Stelling: Welcome, folks, to a live Sky Sports interview, where West Ham, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City will reveal their new managers. Let's get to the point quickly. Sullivan,please reveal your manager.

David Sullivan: I think I made a huge mistake in firing an experienced Prem manager. I want to bring a similar replacement in, and there's nobody more similar to Big Sam than...

Sam Allardyce: I'm back!

Jeff Stelling: Wow. A huge U-turn by West Ham. Steve Parish, who did Palace bring in?

Steve Parish: Not Ian Holloway. *laughter* We have been looking at this man, and I'm pleased to say our new manager is Ryan Giggs.
