So after reading a few lads storys on this,the like of the cant win nothing with kids, and heritty's astn villa story. so im gonna try one for myself for the fun :D..


Ok So im gonna choose newry city fc who play in the northern irish league.. my aim for this season is to finish in the top 3 and qualify for europe next season..

little bit about the club,Newry City is a Northern Irish football club playing in the IFA Premiership.

History

The club was originally known as Newry Town - it was renamed in 2004, two years after Newry obtained city status. [1]
The club's most successful period was the late 1990s.

After winning the First Division in the 1997/98 season, the club managed to finish fourth in the Premier Division, thus qualifying for the Intertoto Cup.
In this, their first ever appearance in European competition, Newry Town (as they were then known) were drawn against the Croatian side Hrvatski Dragovoljac. A 1-0 defeat in Croatia was followed by an historic 2-0 win at home to send the club into the second round. There they met Bundesliga side MSV Duisburg. Again, Newry were drawn away in the first leg, coming away with a respectable 2-0 defeat to the German professionals.

In the 2006/7 season, big things were expected of Roy Coyle's team, with the manager seen as the most successful manager in the history of the Irish league, however poor results resulted in Coyle leaving the club. He was replaced by Gerry Flynn at the start of 2007.
In Flynn's first full season in charge (2007/08) he and his assistant Peter Murray steered the club to 8th position in the final league table.

I've got lee feeney,who use to play for rangers football club,though he only ever made 1 appearence for them
