As i'm sure EVERYONE is aware, the new FM is only a matter of weeks away. Once the 30th of October comes i'm sure our lives will be again devout to a new version of the game and all the goodness it brings with it.
I decided to play one last game before the new one comes at, as i'm sure a lot have people have decided to do too. Maybe it's a mechanism to gain some closure for the impending end to FM09? Anyway, my first game on FM09 was with Morecambe and I got them into League 1 in 2 seasons but lo and behold the game crashed/corrupted and that game was no more.
I suppose it's only fitting to have my last game as Morecambe too.
I'm actually at the end of November now so these screens aren't in no real chronological order.
So I shall begin...
Took over and thought I would be good to the current Morecambe lads and keep everyone near enough, exept Frasier McLachlan who in real life gets injured every time he plays anyway so I thought he may as well go with the wealth of midfield talent available to me.
He went to AFC Wimbledon for a mere 2k but least he was off the wage budget.
I was initially 2k under budget and I didn't see the need for bringing in too many new face, just a case of getting cover and competition amongst the ranks.
My transfers in comprised of Ciaran Foy from Bohemians on loan and he is going to be back up for McStay at RB. Dutch maestro, Jordy Brouwer makes his way from Liverpool on another season long loan, intended to be back up for Mullin and Jevons. And finally my last loanee, Adam McGurk from Villa. McGurk is an AM/FC who looks fairly decent at finishing and would again provide back up.
Free transfers were next on the agenda and the signing of Clint Easton, former Norwich full back who looked better than League 2 standard so I snapped him up. I also managed to find a keeper called Gabriel Sava languishing on a free, too. Italian keeper who doesn't look too bad, although my Assistant rendered him useless. He would be 3rd choice keeper.
I didn't really plan on anymore buys but I briefly looked at the trialist's match and saw a 17 year old called Adam Smith, a Spanish lad with a somewhat English sounding name, by the way of Toulouse scored a couple. He looked decent for his age so I quickly got him as prospect and loaned him out to neighbouring Barrow to link up with Aaron Taylor, another Morecambe lad who looks to have a bright future. Also playing in that game was an Irish lad called Foley. Decent technically and no slouch either so I brought him in, much to the delight of local Legend, Jim Harvey.
So those were the ins and outs of a relatively quiet summer. A couple of scouts were signed up and sent to France and Holland to find some top talent.
Pre- Season went well with me playing Barrow, Kendal, Blackburn Reserves, Newcastle and Gillingham, respectively. Barrow and Kendal were far too weak and I won 4-0 both games. Blackburn was a good game with me winning 2-1 courtesy of a Jevons brace and Newcastle dominated me 3-0 with their first team out. The Mighty Gill drew 2-2 with me with Jackson running rings round my defence all game.
So the start of the season was upon us. I was drawn against Oldham at home in the League Cup and a first game away at in Yorkshire with the mighty Bantams. Who would come on top? What will my new signings turn out like?
If you want to hear more of this historic last game, I would like to know. If you do I will continue in the same vain. If not, well.. I wont
