Here's my scenario; I started unemployed as Sunday league player with all the lower leagues active in England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Wales. 67 days into the season, took over Woking in the Blue Square South division of England.
1st season at the helm, I was promoted to the Blue Square Premier via the playoffs, won the FA Trophy and Woking were already knocked out of the FA Cup.
2nd season, got Woking to the playoffs but failed to win the final, won the FA Trophy again and was knocked out in the FA Cup 3rd round (which is pretty good I think) by Everton.
After 2 seasons I'm still Unproven reputation. I'm a bit confused why I'm not even Local, but I guess when your club is London based it may take a while for me to be noticed.
