I've just been promoted to the Southern Premier Division with Uxbridge and I just found your thread right now, which is really nice as I have a few questions.

How did you find your staff? Currently my scout + assistant manager have both left, and I can't seem to find anyone that wants to join my team... They either want 100 quid / w, and unlike you I can't offer that much (Guernsey has **** loads of money for a team so low, wow), or they just outright don't want to join. This is so frustrating, I have NO staff at all.

Youth players... in your first youth intake you got players with like 17 passing, players with 20 (!!!) finishing etc., was this just luck or did you influence this with your coaches, as your youth facilities must have been ****, right? I also can't upgrade my youth facilities yet as I didn't start with 275k like Guernsey but rather like 2k, so my board says I don't have enough funds, so I was also wondering when can you register your youth team for a youth league?

Cheers.
 
Fantastic story... Really outstanding. I can see that you inspired bunch of folks into doing youth challenge. Keep on going 'till Champions League glory... Can you do me a favor? If not problem, can you post SS of couple best serbian players? Want to see how my countrymen are doing on football field... :)

Just a reminder... ;)
 
WOW I can't believe you got Stacy Salt as a greyed out player. I usually don't even bother to look at the greyed players if I end up with any! Some of the youth players you got in that intake are just unbelievable!

It was a pleasure having a flick through your story, well done mate
 
Jesus holy ****! Stacy Salt is unreal!
I know right! One of the best players i've ever had in any version of football manager

where abouts? i'll fix it

I think your problem is you have no assistant manager. No one to take out un realistic targets. maybe try to poach one off a team in your league? Guernsey also start with pretty good facilities. Add to it that the board are always usually fairly compliant and happy to upgrade. It does make managing them a breeze if im honest.

It has been a pleasure following your story and I'll keep looking in mate.

More loaned them out as i knew i couldn't flesh out my squad. I still have players from my first season in my squad!
 
Pretty amazing that you have had players stay for 15+ years now. In real life they would be beyond club legends, staying with Guernsey the whole way up.
 
Dynmo Kyiv awaited us in the Europa league knock out stages, Could we beat the Ukrainian powerhouse?

Humiliate is more like it! I thought it was a sign of things to come when Kyiv scored first. How wrong i was.

I felt quite cocky in the second leg and made 7 changes. It made no difference my mostly youth team proving they are still a force.

I was hoping for Lokomotiv Moscow instead of Chelsea, then i saw this! Chelsea were 4-1 up from the first leg.

My confidence wained.

We travelled to the freezing conditions of Moscow intent on getting a result. We did not disapoint. An away goal could prove valuble.

The away goal proved desicive. Through on away goals after the most boring gme i've seen on FM in a long time.

Next round gave us one **** of a game. Benfica portuguese super power.

Should we beat Benfica we will face either Spartack moscow or Atletico Madrdid. Madrid look scarily strong in my opinion.

Hugh Simon is my club captain. He is concidered a legend. He rarely plays now but i try to give him10-15 games a season even if just as a sub.

It's pretty spectacular. I hope to do the same with Uerdingen. I have two promising players for the next couple of seasons at least with Klappert and Manikas but I look forward to my first youth intake as I badly need players. Hoping to sell my current lot of existing players and clear up my finances.

If i hadn't got premiership money they would of had to go. I can afford sentiment now though.
 
30 Games in some bad and excellent results to boot, losing to Liverpool was down to injuries as much as anything else. Man Utdplayed us off the park as did Arsenal. beating Man City was an excellent result we did not deserve at all.

We are still at the right end of the table. We are also 1-3 games in hand on all other teams because of our Europa League run. Win those and we can sneak up the league.

We are safe from relegation, Already qualified for europe through the league cup and can't hope to get the champions league. We are simply playing for pride now.​

I obviously don't need them for work permits, However some quality Croation youth through my youth system sounds good. I plan to load up the Croatian league now. If only to aide my players i send there.


Benfica await in the Europa League

A brilliant result away from home against a team of this calibre. Giving ourselves every chance in the second leg.

Would we have to metal to beat Benfica

After racing into a 3-0 lead we let Benfica back in before Alex and Asante pulled us clear and into the semi final!
