A Previous Story
I've been a fan of the Football Manager series for a number of years now and to say that I'm addicted would be a massive understatement, racking up well over 1000 hours on last year's FM17 version.
I'd never written a story before until only a couple of months ago when I was looking for some inspiration, as for the first time ever I'd become slightly bored with the game. I was one of those players that continuously started new saves, generally in England, working my way through a number of clubs and trying to take them as far as I could. However, what I found is that I'd get bored after about 2-4 seasons, end up quitting and starting another save.
So a couple of months ago I tried something completely different and new for me. My first ever journeyman save and to accompany the journey, I wrote a story along the way. I was hooked again and I've got to say it was by far the most enjoyable game of football manager I'd ever played, and I really enjoyed sharing it with my story on here too. The story saw me start out at a lowly Swedish club called Ange, moving to Premier Division side IFK Norrkoping, before swapping Sweden for Italy as I joined Sampdoria. I ended up in Portugal managing Vit.Guimaraes after that.... The full story can be seen here: It's all a load of balls.... The Rise Through Europe
A New Beginning
So I've been out and bought the new FM18, on the day of release of course, and I plan to start a new journeyman save. I will start as an unknown manager, with no qualifications and no previous experience. The plan will be to start from the very bottom and work my way up to become a world class manager.
There is no specific plan on the agenda. I don't have a target club I want to manage, I don't have a league I especially want to manage in. I'm playing this one with an open mind and seeing where the world of FM takes me.....and do you know what.....I can't ****** wait!
Also, I'd like to note that every decision I make in the game is my own. I do not download or copy other people's tactics, training schedules, or players shortlists etc... I'd rather fail but know I've done everything off my own back, than be a very successful manager but using someone else's expertise - personally I just wouldn't feel like I've achieved anything. I want to be fully responsible for my success or failure at each individual club I end up managing.
I'll be sharing all of my achievements here and I hope you enjoy following my story along the way. As always, your comments and feedback will be greatly appreciated.
