ok so i just got the new patch and called it time on my above average career on 9.2, which wasnt one of my longest but a successful game. As havent posted much so i thought i would take 5mins to share it with all you guys who's knowledge here has helped so much.
A glittering lower league career ends and the home tow hero returns to manage his home town club Swindon Town.
its with Swindon i spent my first 6 seasons:
08/09 League 1 9th, League cup 1st round, jp Trophy south semi's, FA cup fourth round replay with arsenal eventually lost away 3-1(nil nil at home. top scorer simon *** 17. best signing (on loan) Duran from liverpool 15 assists.
09/10 League 1 4th, Play off final losers on penalties, league cup QF, JP Runners up, Fa cup first round. top scorer simon *** 33, best signing joe lewis from p'boro 150k kept 15 clean sheets in league avg rating of 7.8
10/11 League 1 2nd promo to the championship!!, League cup 3rd round (embarressed 8-1 by man utd) JP winners v Darlington 3-0, Fa cup 3rd round, top scorer joint Coxy and re-signing of sam parkin both with 25 and of course Super sam was the real deal on a free from luton.
11/12 Championship 9th, a solid season with some amazing results along the way and nobody left with all the points from county ground 17 wins and 6 draws, if only i could of done this away. league cup QF lost 1-0 to cardiff, FA cup lost in QF to eventual winners West Ham 5-3, top scorer *** 21, no new signings.
12/13 RELEGATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 23rd in the championship just 5 wins all season, it all goes wrong, but the cup is my saving gracee, League cup SF losing 3-0 to liverpool, FA Cup reveng was sweet avopiding premier sides all the way to final where its time for revenge. Man U v STFC it didnt start good 2 down at half time, then Foster gives me a penalty and is yellowed 2-1 coxy and moments later its another penalty and a straight red for Johnny Evans. 2-2 coxy and in the 90th min + 5 Hatrick. i think that one game saved my bacon as was still only ment to battle against relegation. top scorer for the last time Simon *** 11 but i need money and 1.5 million is to much to turn away
13/14 Leage one 19th, , LC 1st round, JP 1st round, FA Cup 3rd round. with no *** and parkin retired its all down to youth up front and a regen call Mark Hall is top scorer with 13. The board and me agree its time to go and as the season ends i resign in search of a new challenge, with my head up high. like i said not greatest career but an eventfull one!
i wont complain it was a good stint with my home town club, any one else hav any home town lower league club stories?
