So, After being inspired by Derby Jack and Dani3w I have decided to start my own story from the bottom to the top career! Like theirs my rules are simple:
1.Aim to be the best manager in the hall of fame (the in game version). 2.Be the highest earning manager. 3.Any Job offers that offer more wages then I am currently on I have to have an interview for. As seen below I have turned off in game editor and will turn on auto save to stop any chance of cheating. The only issue is that my piece of **** laptop won’t handle many different leagues so I have set up the top leagues in Germany, France Spain and Italy as well as league 2 and up in England and as you can see below the game speed will be half a star…..

On our first day the inbox pops up with 3 different interviews! If only real life was like this, starting out and 3 job offers on your first day. Sizing them all up I would like MK Dons if possible but in fairness I’d be happy with any as long as its quick and I can start sizing up my team and get down to business. http://i.imgur.com/jIEvOMI.png After three interviews I was rejected by two and hired by the mighty Sky Blues, which was amazing as I requested more transfer money which got rejected and then more money for wages which was rejected then to make the scouting range better which was surprising rejected. They must have liked my stubbornness…. Or the fact there was no one else left to interview? Either way here is where my journey begins.
Straight down to business I skip meeting the coaching staff and I get up the team and check over the guys I will be aiming to mold into a promotion winning team. Scanning my eye over the team there is one name that jumps out to me, Sam Ricketts. As a Bolton fan I remember him from his time with us, sometimes good sometimes bad but always gets stuck in which I think will do us well in this league. Looking at the profiles there is 4 players I think will be our stars this season
Gael Bigirmana
This guy looks really good, a young CM which I think is one of the hardest postions in this years FM to fill, he will hopefully boss the midfield and direct the tempo of our game.
On loan for us and our most expensive player. He has some decent stats and is very determined but I don’t use a ML, I am hoping to use him as a wingback and have him overlap our AML but not sure how he will fit into this role. Time will tell
http://i.imgur.com/tgbDtBb.png Jordan Turnbull This guy looks like a solid DC for league 1 and is young enough to maybe make it in the next league with the right guidance. Again very determined and good – average stats in the key areas I think he will be the heart of our defence this season.
Jodi Jones This guy is causing me a headache, he is young and looks to have bags of potential, the question I have is does he start? If he develops quickly he could be a big player but if I am looking to go straight for a playoff spot it might be too early for him.
http://i.imgur.com/brOE8hX.png The next think to look at is the season preview. The pundits are putting us at 13th which is probably fair on the overall view.

I have started doing my tactics and put the training in place to concentrate on that for the upcoming season. I have a budget of £0 and I am already £1000 over my wage bracket so it looks like I have to sell before I can even dream of buying. So guys any pointers on my first story? Any suggestions on who to sell and buy??? Let’s do this together!
