The Stockport County board have announced a relitavley unknown manager in the form of Dan Wicks to take charge of the first team :D
outside the Training ground Dan wicks was quoted as saying ' As most of you know i have little experience of managing but i do relise after playing for the serbian national team, the pressures of football and i hope i can thrive under that pressure and take Stockport county to new heights'
When The question arose of what heights were they Wicks responded' The Premier league isnt out of reach, it will take alot of work but it is not out of reach'
The Intervie then ended there with the reporter chuckling at wicks previous response, Wicks got onto his first assignment of the day ; having an in- depth look at the sqaud and after that he decided that he would have to delve in to the transfer market and with a transfer budget of 50 k he knew he had a tough job.
He first released 5 players so that more wage money was avaliable: Paul Turnbull , Gianluca Havern, Jim McNulty and Paul Ennis were the unfortunate ones to leave.
With That all done it was know time for wicks to bring in players to Edegley Park
The First Player through the door was the Veteran Geoff Horsfeild who was bought in to add some experience to this relativley Young Squad, Zoltan Harsanyi was next, the 21 year old slovakian was signed on a season long loan from Bolton to add some Much needed pace to the attack. Seyfo Soley the Gambian International was signed on a free transfer to become the anchor man in the midfield, Wicks then annouced that Stockport County were linking up with the English Giants Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson then Suggested to Young Irish central midfielder that a season's stay at stockport would do him good , Gibson agreed And Wicks's 4th signing had been completed. After searching Europe for some much needed Experience Marino Promes was bought in .

Pre Season results to be added :)

Pre Season:
Woodley Sports 2 : 3 Stockport County : Geoff Horsfield, Andy Piklington (2)
Stockport County 1: 2 Burnley: Zoltan Harsanyi
York City 1:1 Stockport County: Marino Promes
Cliftonville 3 : 4 Stockport County
Darlington 2 : 5 Stockport County

Overall It was a Good pre season for Wicks and Stockport with only one loss too Championship opposition, the new signings seem to be gelling, but Wicks thought One more player had to be bought in and that Player was Simon ***, From swindon, Wicks signed him for 50 k using all his Transfer budget,
The start of the new season is looming with Stockport Travelling To Carlisle.

Looks good for you, not sure how someone call Dan Wicks would play for Serbia but lets not dwell there, Stockport are an interesting side
 
The New Season Is here !!
Results :
Carlisle 1:0 Stockport County
Stockport County 1:0 Crewe : ***
Stockport drawn against Tranmere in Johnstone's Paint Trophy :p
Sheffield Wednesday 1:0 Stockport County
Walsall 1:1 Stockport County: Promes
Stockport County 0:0 Huddersfield

Not the greatest of months and Stockport seem to be struggling away from home, Something wicks will want to address. Let's hope Septemeber proves to be a better month for wins

Brighton 4 : 1 Stockport : Thompson
Stockport 1 : 2 Scunthorpe: Harsanyi

This is gonna be harder than i thought

 
This is my team at the moment
any suggestions on tactics would be welcome
 
I'd say you need to sort out your tactics rather than team, I mean your team probably hasn't gelled and adding more new players will only worsen that.

Are you using your own tactics? If so why not have a look at downloading some tactics from this site? They are tried and tested.
 
I would suggest having a look at Woody's Brian Clough 442 tactic its served me pretty well, make sure Gibson is the attacking minded CM at first, also look at how your conceding goals, if your defence is being outstripped by balls over the top you may need to drop their mentality till you get a couple of faster ones in there
 
Ye i have stopped buying players now i stopped a buyiing simon ***
and is there like a certain period of time that it takes for a team to gel or is it different with each team |
and what site was it ?
