Before we begin...
So I've reached the stage were I'm bored of FM12. In truth I wasn't even going to get this years version only for the new add/remove leagues feature to convince me otherwise. No doubt its a fantastic feature and one FM has been crying out for for years.
However, I've grown exceptionally tired of the other excessive features most notably the TEAM TALKS. I have nightmares about them to be honest and, for me, FM has gone too far into realism there with so many different tones and responses. I'm a simple man who just likes to process through seasons as quickly as possible, buy players, develop a great tactic and WIN WIN WIN.
And so, I bought FMH for the iPhone and I LOVE IT. No team talks, no agents, no barrage of press conferences. Just simple FM gaming. Its pretty much like Championship Manager 01/02, and for anyone old enough to have played it CM0102 is arguably the king of the CM/FM series.
Anyway, down to business. Haven't noticed any FMH stories on here so I thought I'd start one.

Hyde Football Club, a little known semi-professional club from Greater Manchester, have today sensationally appointed former Manchester United and England full back Gary Neville as their new manager. In a major coup, owner John Manship and chairman Allan Kenyon have declared that Neville's appointment signals the beginning of a new era for the Tigers, one which will see the club propel itself to the very top of the English football pyramid.
These are clearly big ambitions for a club whose only claim to fame is having the record for the biggest ever defeat in English football history, a 26-0 loss to neighbours Preston North End in the FA Cup.
