After reading Max's extremely successful Sunderland story (prem champions after 2nd season), I decided to take up the reigns as gaffer at the Black Cats myself.
Sunderland are a team that I always seem to enjoy managing on every FM I've gotten and is the only team I feel properly into on FM nowadays.
Before starting the story I've gotten through the transfer window and signed a good CM in Scott Brown and let Roy O'Donovan and David Healy go. I'm playing a 3-5-2 formation so that I can have Lorik Cana playing at his best in his favoured DM position. I'm thinking of snapping up a contract for David Beckham so that I can sign him on Jan 1st 2010.
Opening Day: Sunderland 3-2 Aston Villa
I was pretty satisfied with the teams overall performance after beating the odds and winning against a distinctly average Villa side. Darren Bent got 2 goals to go with a Richard Dunne OG. Bent also got the MOM after getting a rating of 8.90. This result sent us up to 4th after the opening weekend, but our next fixture is against Chelsea, so the lads need to ready themselves for a rough game.
