Some of you may recognise me on FM Base and others may not, but I had 2 stories (1 with Notts County, and 1 with Peterborough United), but due to my FM playing up I had to delete both games. Therefore I am starting a new Story which I hope will attract people to read my story. So here it goes;

'Shock in West Brom as Roberto Di Matteo leaves The Baggies to join West Ham after Gianfranco Zola resigns from his position as the Manager of the club.'
Many fans are left dissapointed and shocked at the decision that Roberto has made. Ben, a lifelong Baggies fan, said 'We are all deeply shocked to find that Roberto Di Matteo has left the club and gone onto managing West Ham. But we are all delighted for him and thank him for the effort and time he has put in our club. We have to move on now, get a new man in charge and let him bring his own players in.'

'West Brom unveil new manager'
West Brom today unveiled Rhys Lawlor as their new Manager. Not even being in the bookies contention for becoming their new Manager, it becomes a shock to everyone in Football. With Rhys having no Managing experience and with such high hopes for West Brom, it will certainly be a challenge for the rookie manager.
Press conference:
Sky Sports: Rhys, do you see becoming the West Brom Manager as a big challenge?Rhys: Yes I do. But I feel I can get this club promoted first time, and one of the main reasons of me coming here is the fact that the Chairman (Jeremey Pearce) always backs his Managers. Now im not going to say how much I have to spend in the Transfer Window, but I will be bringing in my own players and my own staff.
BBC Sport: Many West Brom fans believe that they could of got a manager with experience, how do you cope with such pressure with this being your first job?
Rhys: Fans have always got a say in what happens at a Football Club, the fans are the backbone of the Team, but they have to trust the decision that Jeremey has made and get behind us to take them up to the Premier League. I've worked closely with a couple of Managers before so I do know what to expect as a Manager, there will always be pressure, but that is something im looking to thrive upon.
Paul, a West Brom supporter, said 'Whilst we are amazed at the appointment, we are excited. Hopefully Rhys will bring a fresh approach to the club and do it in his own way. Many of the backroom staff are people that Roberto hired, so hopefully Rhys realises that if they are not needed or not good enough then he will replace them.'
Michelle, another West Brom supporter, also said this 'I am pleased to have a new man in charge and I will certainly be cheering him and the boys on for a Promotion campaign. But also I felt we could of signed a Manager with alot more experience in getting out of the Championship and maybe with a bit of Premier League experience.'
Will update again in around 20 minutes
hope you enjoy.

'West Brom announce the loan signing of Aston Villa's Marc Albrighton'

I am looking foward to training with the players they have here, and hopefully get some First Team Football. I am not expecting to come in and play straight away cause I know there are some great players here. But hopefully I will get some playing time and help this club to get promoted.'

'Federico Macheda moves to West Brom'
West Brom have snapped up Italian U21 Star Federico Macheda on a season long loan, the pacy striker was deemed not needed at Manchester United this season, and Sir Alex Ferguson believes that the move to West Brom will be a 'fantastic oppurtunity'.
Sky Sports News Managed to get a few West Brom fans speaking about their new signings and what they think they will bring to the club.
1 un-named supporter said 'Federico Macheda looks a great prospect, so to see him in a West Brom shirt this season is going to be great, the Manager has certainly caught our eyes with this signing. Sky Sports: What do you think Federico will bring to the club? I think he will bring some class to the strike force, he is quick and certainly knows how to finish. I will look foward to seeing him this season.
Tony, a lifelong Baggies fan said 'Federico and Marc look the have a great future ahead of them and bringing them to West Brom will be a fantastic experience for them both. Federico is never going to get in the United team this year, and Marc is only 19 and has had hardly any Football Experience at Championship level yet alone Premier League. But Rhys has pulled off 2 fantastic signings and can only be good for the club.'

He will bring some added quality to our right flank and add some really good pace.'
