I'm back!
Now you've recovered from that shock, let's address where this story is going. Last year, I stepped into the shoes of Luis Garcia, the Spanish and Liverpool favourite. Well, this year, I've reverted to my roots. A Lincoln lad through and through, it's high time my hometown club and long suffering supporters see some silverware.
So why a Lincoln story? Well, my traditional opening file for FM, and long term file at that, is a Liverpool and Lincoln file. However, when you get to 2033 and you have the best team money can buy at Anfield, the novelty wears off a little. So this year, it's Lincoln off the start, with the main goal to be lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time.
It's worth pointing out, this is not a one club story, and I am open to moving. On that front, it largely depends what the FM gods have in store for me this year.
Of course, there is the other motivation that I can corner the market with this story. Lincoln stories are a rare breed. Brendn has the market cornered for Liverpool stories too, and I'm a large enough fan of the story to not wish to compete, I'd rather enjoy it. I may be a Liverpool fan, but I know when I'm beat.
This won't be the novel that Luis Garcia turned out to be. I certainly won't be getting shot (spoilers), this is will be a down to earth tale. There'll be the narrative, but there will be the monthly reviews. Think Alfa Romeo crossed with Union Berlin.
So back to the point.
It won't be easy. Lincoln have financial difficulties, and let's be realistic, Grimsby and Scunthorpe have overtaken them as the more reputable teams in the county. It's kinda embarrassing. That'll be the first problem I need to address. The first of many problems.
First up, a review of the first season, and a quick look at how my first year as a manager played out.
I'm David Kerry. I'm the new Lincoln manager.
Let the games begin.
