Ernie Allan: An FM19 Journeyman Story!
It's finally here....Football Manager 2019 has landed and the past few weeks of misery counting down the days whilst trying to drum up the tiniest amount of motivation to play FM18 are over!
And I'm back with my first FM19 story, which sees the return of my fictional character, Ernie Allan! Ernie comes with absolutely no coaching badges and his only playing experience being at a semi professional level in England, for the likes of Bromley and Dulwich Hamlet. This story will follow Ernie on his quest to make a name for himself as a manager in the footballing world, embarking on my favourite type of save....that of a journeyman!

Starting unemployed, we begin the game with the following European leagues loaded, in which I'll attempt to convince a club, any club, to give us our first shot and our first step on a very tall ladder!

Immediately, I turn to the job market to see what's available! The likes of Brentford, Ludogrets and Partick Thistle will certainly be out of my reach at this stage, but there's plenty of other clubs here for me to reach out to in the lower leagues of English, Scottish and Danish football.

Applications are drawn up and sent off to the likes of HIK and TPI in Denmark, whilst FC United, Gloucester City and Hemel Hempstead all offered me an option closer to home. Up in Scotland, I also chanced my arm with Sterling, Queen's Park and Berwick.....any takers out there?
It was the two Danish clubs that came back first, both offering me quick interviews via Skype....which was lucky as I had ****** all money to spend flying over there! I'm unemployed after all! TPI only took a day to come back and offer me a job....

Am I reading that right, weekly wage = £0!! Thanks, but no thanks!! But the fact I'd been offered a job seemed to raise my stock, and all of a sudden the interviews came thick and fast! FC United, Berwick, Queen's Park, Stirling Albion and Hemel Hempstead all invited me in for a chat! It's Queen's Park that are the quickest to react with a job offer...

What the f*ck is this about...another offer to work for free?! Not a chance that's happening....Reject! Another job offer quickly followed from another of the Scottish League Two sides, Stirling Albion...

That's more like it, £275 a week ain't going to buy me that Aston Martin I've been eyeing up, but it's a start and get's me in the game! Ernie Allan, welcome to Scotland!
