Nice :D

I see you have a good young team.

Ive been thinking of doing something like this with a scottish team,
because the english league is starting to get a bit boring.

Would you reccomend it?

Well, having played the llm for a while, this has been much more fun especially without Reunionese players.

I've gotten really lucky with some of my signings, e.g. Lambo and Rapnik but I didn't expect that after 21 games I'd be top and unbeaten.

It has been really fun and now I fully intend on playing 15 seasons or more lol :)
 
January update

Done well still unbeaten, won manager of the month again :).

lost 5 - 3 against St. Mirren.

I got the club out of financial difficulties...

I have uploaded Hepburn and Cusack's goalscoring records so far, I signed Joe Pepper and James McKinnery. McKinnery is now my best right back and Pepper can play 8 positions 4 of them naturally :D.
 
February Update

Annan Athletic have won the league!! Unbeaten in the league still.

Manager of the month award again, Skinner got young player of the month and Pelosi got player of the month.

I have almost completed March too, so I'll update later.
 
you won the league very early...have u strted to build ur dquad 4 next season yet??
 
Update

season is finished I will totally update you all now.

Nobody is really interested in signing for me, trying to get a talented young regen on loan from Celtic, he has amazing stats and potential to be a leading star in the premier league.

I had a terrible end to the season my team got lazy after they had won and all I started to see was draw after draw.

I couldn't believe that Lee Sharp never got player of the year... he had the most assissts the most man of the matches, the highest pass rate and the highest average rating...

Second division will be a lot harder...

My team isn't building up to what I want it to at the moment but I will certainely make some money from my pre-season leagues.

I will post up my releases and signings later tommorrow.

As you can see very impressive league win and I have a minimum expectation for avoiding relegation next season... shouldn't be too hard.
 
Major update.

Well I have a little problem with the site and that is sometimes it just wont load up so I have a major update today :D infact about 4 months worth.

Top of second division!! eventually made the signings I needed and managed to hang on to many key players.

My most enjoyable signing so far this year is Nicky Riley who I retrained to be an accomplished striker, currently trying to get him to natural.

he is the second top goal scorer at the moment behind Ross Hepburn who currently has 18 goals in 21 games this season.

Skinner is the new captain and I made multiple signings including a right back, centre back, right winger, 2 mid centres and 3 strikers.

I also signed a goalkeeper, and sold Ross Porteous because I didn't want his potential to be stinted at my club so I let him go free to Berwick Rangers, to help them not be bottom this year... (they were last year.)

I lost in the semi-final of the Challenge cup 1 - 0 to Partick Thistle. I am currently unbeaten in the Second Division, the First division will be a lot harder though but I already know 2 players I will be signing for then, one is a striker who is class (Andy Jackson, St Johnstone.) and a talented young wing left regen (Plays for Celtic) is currently 15 and is a good player for all premier league teams and has the potential to be a leading star for all premier league teams but he is available for loan :D.

oh well may aswell post up all the screenies now hope you enjoy looking at them.

There is a lot of other screenies I wanted to upload but some of them have the same file name :( lol.
 
thanks :) Trying to sign Chris Templeman in Jan but he doesnt want to move...
 
Did you change your tactic when promoted to the next division?

Also could you tell me how to print screen and add image because i'm trying to do an updated Oxford thread which i'm in the 2nd season for now but i doubt people will bother reading without any screenies

Is Templeman the 6'5 Striker? Or is that Templeton?
Gary Irvine is great keep an eye on him and Ryan Conroy.
Peter Wheatherson and Dean Keenan might go to you they would be good signings.
 
Gary Irvine plays for rangers now lol ryan conroy for southampton and templeman is the 6'5 one templeton is the 19 year old speed king :).

he is also a celtic fan in real life unlike templeman :P
 
Mega Update

Ok, I'm into the 2nd March 2010 and I'm top of the league and strolling it.

Nicky Riley has been an amazing signing, starting to plan my team for the first division thinking about making a third tactic set to suit the new league...

anyway I'll just post the screenies they speak for themselves...

focus on the parts I've highlighted please :)
 
1st Division Update

So I have chosen to attempt to avoid relegation...

I also took a chance by asking the board for a feeder club and parent club no news yet though...

I have £9000 to spend... wooo... its the most I've had yet, I suppose.

Chris Templeman wont make the move because he doesnt like my training facilities but the board dont have the money to update them.

I loaned in Michael Tidser from Celtic instead but he got injured for 4 months in his first game...

Here is some screenies! Only 2 at the moment but I turned professional :) I signed some qaulity backroom staff, especially a coach with 19 attacking coaching, 18 defence coaching and 20 tactical coaching.

He is 30 years old :)

also found a regen with 6 17's at the age of 15... with Tottenham so I'm gonna try get him on loan, his potential must be amazing because it just says he would be a leading star in the premier league and that is his current potential...

Btw I made myself a badge pack for Annan :)
 
Tragic update!

Well it's time to move on, I'm starting a new save... Falkirk ;)

I won't be updating this anymore but would just like to say, it was my first try at a story and it was fun and I'd say successful on terms of people reading it...

I was successful at Annan 2 leagues in 2 seasons... unfortunately no additional silverware to go with it....

I hope you all enjoyed the run with me :)
 
i would like to thank you as reading about u nd annan i decided to have a go nd i started off really bad but then i changed my tactic nd started to get results nd the last game off the season i managed to sneek into the play offs i then destroyed the team in the semis nd drew my first leg of thee final 3-3 i then changed my tactic completely to catch them off guard fot the second leg nd i am now unexpectedly promoted
 
im starting to struggle though in the second division ive brought in quite afew really good players nd ive lost all 5 of my starting games
 
I tend to change my tactic set every season, I've made like 59 :S if you need one I made one with Aston Villa that really worked for me... just give me the word and I'll upload it.
