Here is the start of my Oldham Athletic career. After a good 2012/2013 seeing us knock out Liverpool in the league and narrowly avoiding relegation due to Matt Smiths goals in both accounts.

Their is a new stand finally being built. Matt Smith has been sold and I look to build my team around two main players:

First Off Adam Rooney, checking his stats and history he has the potential with the right people around him to be prolific.

Danny Philliskirk, dead ball expert young and talented, will have him in hole behind the striker in a 4-5-1 Fluid system.


With James Dayton and the pacey Sidney Smeltz on the wings, plus Midfield of Corey Jones and Weslowski not to mention the potential of James Tarkowski and a couple of key signing to strengthen the first team and some future stars, I am aim to break into the top 10 and beyond.

Friendlies are almost finished and Schmeltz is looking like a decent player. Balls into the box are class, I have signed a hot prospect 19 Year old striker Landu from France who I look to imediatley loand out.

Plus Tim Chow to bolster the midfield. And have had Tarkowski train to be a leader to organise the defence. So far so good, plenty of possesion and chances.
 
Tim Chow has arrived, and honestly not as good as first thought from reports. Played my first decent team in Kilmarnock. And it didnt go well. Lost 6-1.
 
Bounced back from 6-1 loss to a 4-0 win over Hereford. All signings wrapped up before August. Brought in two players on loan to improve the fist team, plus Neil Etheridge from Fulham who seemed to be a solid keeper. First league match thought was shocking.
3 - 0 loss away to Stevenage.....I fear I may struggle to reach my ambitions.....
 
Well with things seemingly going from bad to worse. I changed things a little, playing a more controling and rigid style. I lost my first game 3-0 as said. Followed by a 4-3 Loss to Port Vale the a 1-1 Draw with Peterborough. Due to form I added Esteban Lopez on the wing instead of Smeltz.

18 Year Old Lopez came on a free and looks like a hot prospect. Well. WHAT AN IMPACT.

He set up a goal and always caused hassle going forward, winning against. He then assisted twice in the JPT. I also pulled of a brilliant sigining with this man:

Ricardo Rocha, he maybe 35 but has tightened up the back. And we are now solid. Last three matches 2-0 1-0 and then went to sleep.

I hope to screen shot some stuff but my laptop (A Windows 8 Samsung) is not allowing me too.
 
On Transfer Deadline day. Micah Richards clause of 20% Sell On Fee came in getting the club 1.2Million! Giving me 200K to spend. However I was done. I like having all signings in before Aug! So didnt get to use it.
 
Will be following this story as Boundary Park is only down the road! Good luck.
