So I finally caved and decided to treat myself to FM23 and thought I may as well kick it off with the start of a new FMbase story..... The Managing Mercenary!
I think that we can all agree that the majority of individuals are motivated by money and this has become an increasing influence in football over the years as we see players lured away for more lucrative offers... much like a recent players more to Saudi Arabia or was it South Africa?
So I shall be starting as an unemployed manager with no experience or qualifications that's solely motivated by becoming the highest paid manager in the footballing world and this man goes by the name of Wesley Snipes! Admittedly I'd just watched a movie he was in and is just such a cool name, I also chose an obscure nationality (Samoan) just to see if that makes any difference in potential suiters.
My laptop is a bit of a potato so had to be selective with Leagues loaded. I do have a lot of Nations loaded but could only really justify the top league in those with the exception England - so I will likely be starting here I imagine and then hopefully dotting about after some experience.
After 102 days of spam applying every available job under the sun I finally received my first job offer and low and behold it was in England.
and just like buses two more swiftly followed in the Vanarama National North
After receiving knock-backs from both Farnborough and Banbury my expectations from Buxton weren't exactly high
However, they actually offered be the job!
My football management career was finally underway with Buxton, a tiny town in Derbyshire that I did indeed have to google.
So I start on a respectable £625p/w... someway off the £375kp/w dished out to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City
