Hi all, unfortunately I lost my last save that I had started a story on here with so I've gone back to the drawing board and come up with something new.
I wanted to try something a little different, so i thought it'd be fun to tour the Nordic countries on the game and see if I can take 1 team from each country to success in Europe while building up the reputation of each league in the process. The countries I will be touring on this save are Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. This isn't going to be easy but I'm up for a new challenge!
Nordic Nights
Rather than picking a team from the off I thought i'd see where I end up by starting without a job, I don't want to just stroll in at one of the top clubs here...i'm in for the long haul. The bulk of the jobs going seem to be in Sweden, and after a handful of interviews...

So after a short spell unemployed I managed to land a job at Swedish Second Division North side, Ange IF. They've already started their season, so no chance to assess the squad ahead of the big kick off. We also had a game in 1 day to prepare for!

A warm welcome from the Chairman, I'm pretty happy with that £400 a week contract too, given that we are in the lowest tier of Swedish football available. A little background on the club...

So i've ended up at a club that have no real history of note...yet. Hopefully I can change that! Season expectations from the board where for us to finish mid table, it's hard not to argue with that when you don't know anything about the player's you are working with yet. One thing I did know about the team was that they have a handful of young English players on their books. This guy being the pick of them...

Hopefully having a group of lads that speak the same language as me will help gel the team together and get my messages across. As mentioned above, Ange have already played 1 game this season, here's how they got on in that as well as their pre-season results.

IFK Ostersund are nothing special by the looks of it, so drawing your first game of the season at home to them is a bit worrying. Next update I'll have had a few games under my belt as manager, and hopefully I'll have seen enough of the squad to assess what the good, bad and the ugly is with this team!
