SVB's Managerial Journey

Never thought I'd see Maradona managing Tranmere... successfully :)
 
Loving and hating this story!

Loving because I'm doing an Tranmere game myself!

Hating because I finished outside the playoffs in my first season and have another season of League 1 football!

Still, this is an awesome read and congrats on successive promotions!

Cheers mate I found the 1st season quite easy but god knows how we achieved promotion last year especially after conceding 90 goals ! I think the key is keeping Akpro and Stockton fit as they were key in both promotions
 
Watt, the beast from FM 13 is back.. Good luck in BPL!

I made a mistake by selling Akpro in the first month, chose money and thought Stockton and Iaquinta could carry the load for me! Ended up selling Stockton in the January, Iaquinta was gone by the March and ended up with Lowe as my top striker with 22 goals!

Got Akpro back on loan this season though and I'm confident of promotion this time round!
 
Ah poor Stockton fires you into the Prem and then you ruthlessly sell him! Lol. Im liking the look of the new strikeforce though. Tony Watt was amazing last year im interested to see what he will turn out like in real life as hes not doing that good in Holland were hes on loan

To be honest I wanted to keep Stockton but if you look at his screen shot I posted he wanted to leave !! I managed to bring in Watt for the same amount I sold him for so that's good!! Not really followed Watts progress IRL isn't it Belgium where he's playing?

Great story mate, there are almost the exact transfers in my Rangers game.. Contero went to Spurs though..

Some great buys for the prem challenge but after having the worst def, in the championship (conceeding 90 and going up wtf?!??! awesome).. i look forward to a fun albeit nightmare ish season... :(

fingers crossed for the boys.

Cheers mate I know 90 goals was mad !! I opted for a 352 most of the season which pretty much was u score we'll score :) not decided what tactic to use for the prem yet not had much of a chance to have a mess about!! Hopefully we can have a half decent season though :)

SQUAD

So after doing much testing and trying to create a tactic ive come up with this!! A 4-1-3-2 it doesnt suit all my players but hopefully they can adapt to some positions (please dont ask me to upload the tactic as its very basic & in my eyes not good enough while the current M.E is in this state but hopefully it will do the job and keep me in the Prem :)
