This Is It Don't Get Scared Now..
What is your first goal when getting this game?. Usually to steer your favourite team to glory. After that you may look to try a different team in the premiership or even a lower league team. Maybe even trying to get a conference side into the football league. While all of those things are fun goals you do that standing on the shoulders of giants. Other men who brought that club to the place it was, so that you if good enough could carry it further on.
What if you could forge your own legacy and carve out a footballing dynasty more or less of your very own.If you could have a full squad of players of which non were inherited. On which the responability of bringing them into the club fell to only you.
This is where my goal comes in, Which is something I try on every Football Manager I get. Take a team from more or less as low down the English footballing pyramid as I can, Then set them on a road to glory and recognition.
So heres my choice...
Colne Fc
Who?
That's my first reason nobody has ever heard of them apart from anyone who follows the North West Counties Division or lives in the area. Second it's my hometown team really having lived most of my life there, So it gives the game a bit more meaning to me than picking a team at random. Plus I feel the 9th tier which is where Colne are at is just about as far down without making it too drawn out. Also there a relativly new club with this incarnation of a Colne team being formed in 1996. That have had just one promotion from the tenth tier and a semi final in the FA Vase as their only history
Method
I'm giving Colne a Rocky type once in a lifetime shot to make it as a success in football. Because the editor data didn't have the finances worked out and I had a more or less zero wage budget and one actual player I had to sort things out myself. So I decided give Colne a balance of 2 mill to cover the 5 promotions to get to the football league and survive there.This may seem like cheating but I'm resticting my self to only spending a modest amount on players wages and zero on transfer fees. I've found that the game is much more realistic this year with the players you can attract at such a level anyway.
So that's the team. Next will be introducing the squad I have signed.
