This is a story with a twist. Like Kris did, I have created a player using the editor. His name is Semaj Namdear. He is a 21 year old striker from NZ, with a CA of around 75 (can’t remember) and a PA of 200. He will start as a free transfer and I will follow his career closely.
However, the twist is, I will add myself as manager and will begin my career at Level 9, Northern Division 2 side Marske United, who happen to be my local team.
My house in red circle, the ground in orange/red circle.
Much like Harry Redknapp seems to idolise Peter Crouch (having had him playing under him three times (maybe 4?)) I will idolise Semaj. Throughout my career I will try to link up with him as much as possible.
The aims of my first season with Marske? Achieve promotion from the league. My board would be happy with a mid-table finish, and I will accept that from them – transfer/wage budget wise. I also want to get somewhat noticed managerially, and maybe just maybe take a step up in my career to a larger club.
So follow the story of my managerial career, as well as the story of a young striker making his first steps in professional football, at whoever snaps him up first.
Ps. If anyone does spot the significance and reasoning behind Semaj’s name then they get a gold medal.

After just 18 months at the helm, Paul Burton and Mark Riley have stepped down as the management team at Mount Pleasant. Burton leaves the club after narrowly missing out on promotion at the end of last season and reaching the quarter finals of the FA Vase.
Burton said; “It’s been a great 18 months but I need to take a break out of football. My dog has recently been diagnosed with Diabetes and it’s been a challenging time, I wish the new manager, whoever it may be, the best of luck with guiding the team and its fans to where they should be, the very top”.
It has been rumoured that Burton’s dog doesn’t have diabetes and that he is actually stepping down after media revelations of a relationship with a players’ partner.*
Chairman Nathaniel Finn’s manager shortlist is thought to include former manager Charlie Bell and relative unknown James Readman.

Readman installed at Mount Pleasant
Marske United Chairman Nathaniel Finn has welcomed former semi-pro footballer James Readman as manager at Mount Pleasant today on a three year contract worth £130p/w.
The Seasiders, as they are affectionately known are a semi-professional English club currently playing in the Northern League Division Two. The club play their home games at Mount Pleasant in Markse by the Sea.
Readman has been handed a transfer budget of £0 with a wage budget of £350p/w. The club is currently spending £420p/w on wages.
Readman, a Middlesbrough fan, is taking his first steps in management after a semi-professional career with several clubs. He said; “I am delighted to be handed this task. I see managers beginning their careers in the top leagues but that’s not for me, don’t get me wrong – no one offered, but still. It’s going to be tough, a struggle, and I know were not rolling in cash but I hope to have a successful time here”.
James Readman has signalled his intentions immediately by making an audacious attempt to sign New Zealand striker Semaj Pillihp-Namdear. Who comes highly regarded and may demand a large wage.
Readmans’ first game was against the reserve team on Wednesday, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Readman has also moved immediately to create some money for the cash strapped club, by organising two cups involving higher reputations – hoping to bring in over £30k.
