Been a long time since I've done an FM story & the 1st time I've actually posted one on this site. I decided a few days ago that my last FM save of the year was gonna be with Everton, I have a soft spot for 'em IRL. Hopefully I'll be able to get at least a few updates out every 1-2 days &, all being well, gain some success along the way!

Any ways, enough of the reasoning & on with my aims for this save.



Short term goals

Ensure the club is financially secure for the future.

Qualify for the Champions League inside 4 years.

Bring through talented youngsters & establish them in 1st team.




Long term goals

Establish ourselves in the Champions League.

Become regular title challengers.

Win both the Premier League & Champions League.

Become the richest team in England.

Become the richest team in the world.

Have our academy on par with the best in the world.

Produce a team entirely made up of products from our youth team.



I took over with a budget of 6m after saying i'd finish in a safe mid-table position (just in case things go wrong 1st season). Also have about 30-40k left on wage budget, which should be enough until Jan transfer window.


Time for the fun to begin!! :)

P.S. I'm using the last database from LFCMarshall (4th. August).

A good month was marred by a bad injury to Victor Anichebe. A broken leg will mean he'll miss the rest of the year. Some decent signings to improve the team & even a new Everton record, 1st game in charge!

August update soon....
