"Side Note - I have been playing Football Manager for over 10 years now, but have only just decided to sign up to FM-Base. I am going to be sharing my Manchester United story, in my 4th month so I will post them separate and then every month after that. As many other United fans, I was hurt when Aguero's scored that last gasp winner. So now I am aiming to wrestle back the Title of Manche$ter City, whilst fighting of the upcoming challenge of the new Chel$ki."
READ ALL ABOUT IT
In a shocking press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson has announced his decision to step down from the helm of Manchester United, saying "With a new challenge for Manchester United to compete against, I think a new manager, who is hungry and understands the pain the fans feel, should talk charge"
Sir Alex also commented on how he will still be in the background, helping new manager, and ex-player, Shaun Popps.
"I am excited to take charge of my boy hood team. There will always be pressure taking over such a job, especially from someone of the caliber of the boss. But with him still around, I think we will be okay."
Sir Alex Ferguson hasn't left Popps with an awful lot to do, with the recent signings of youthful Nick Powell, and Talented Shinji "Red Samurai" Kagawa. But the signing that has grabbed the headlines was Robin Van Persie, from Arsenal.
"In these situations, when you have to make a hard decision in your life, I always listen to that little boy inside me. What does he want? That boy was screaming for Manchester United."
"Everyone knows me by now. I love football. I am quite principled in that perspective. It is always difficult to find the perfect match but I do feel this is the perfect match for me."
In another shocking announcement, Shaun Popps has been unveiled as the man who will lead England down the road to Brazil.
With such little experience, the are questions over why Popps has been given such high profile jobs, but if Sir Alex has confidence in this kid succeeding then I think we can at least give him a go. Who knows, maybe we have waited 46 years for Popps to come along, only time will tell.
Popps, who has played 32 times for England and scored 12 goals, has signed a 1 year contract worth £60'000 p/w at Old Trafford.

SEASON EXPECTATIONS
The board have given me the aim to challenge for the title. I believe this is where the team should be aiming, saying we will win the title could backfire in the future, with competition such as Champions Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. My own personal aim is to finish in the top 3 and secure Champions League Football.
I have also been charged with the tasks of
1/ Reach the final of the FA CUP
2/ Reach the Semi Final of the Champions League.
I also want to win the Capital One Cup, and will use this as a chance to play some youngsters, players not getting much play time, and players regaining fitness.

NATIONAL EXPECTATIONS (Rank 4 in world)
With one manager resigning just months before the Euro 2012, England were led to by Roy Hodgson to the quarter finals, where defeat on penalties against Italy was inevitable, Roy announced before the tournament that he would be retiring from Managerial duties one the Euro was over, but expressed his pride in managing his home country.
Within the candidates to take charge for the World Cup Qualifiers were; Stuart Pearce, Jose Mourinho, Alan Pardew and Arsene Wenger. But to every bodies surprise, the man who took charge of Manchester United just weeks before has pipped up the stack and landed the "Most Difficult Job In the World".
The FA have given me the task of easily achieving qualification in the group stage.
After looking though the group I have pinpointed my rivals to be Ukraine and Poland, with maybe Montenegro having a decent run.
Group 8
ENGLAND
POLAND
UKRAINE
MONTENEGRO
MOLDOVA
SAN MARINO
I plan on trying to bring young players through, especially in friendlies. I have upcoming friendlies, which are
Romania 15/08/2012
Bosnia 14/11/2012
Spain 05/02/2012
Brazil 11/06/2012
I chose to have some difficult friendlies in order to see where my team is at after the first year or so.
I will from no on, have new posts to show how England are doing, with updates and news on players/ matches/ and a screenshot of the other groups, with look ins into the worlds to 5 and how they are doing.
