"Sorry Mr Lock, we no longer require your services, you've performed admirably and have really done well in turning the appointments team around but the hospital is cutting out middle managers and stream lining things. You'll have 3 months salary and keep your pension and 4 weeks before you leave. We wish you the best"

So here I am, 25 years old, unemployed with no real qualifications so to think of and £3000 to last me until I find a new job, I've applied for various positions all with no luck, turns out 6 years of working for the NHS isn't a good thing in the business world!
As a joke I do what I see in the papers and apply for various low level football management jobs with a C.V. based on ludicrous FM achievements, "Keeping Plymouth Argyle afloat" " Returning RCD Mallorca to La Liga" F.C. Cologne winning the Bundesliga" I don't expect to get anywhere, Sunday League Footballer and no coaching qualifications when suddenly - Stirling Albion of Ladbrokes League 2 in Scotland offer me and Interview, I take the 499 mile drive from Plymouth to Stirling, I go through the questions and a week later I get the job!
I AM THE MANAGER OF THE MIGHTY STIRLING ALBION!!!!!!
-AUTHORS NOTE - FROM HERE I SHOULD POINT OUT, I STARTED THE SAVE AND GOT TO OCTOBER BEFORE DECIDING TO DO THIS SO THERE WON'T BE AS MUCH DETAIL AS THIS IS A CATCH UP AND EXPLAINS WHY THE SCREENSHOTS AREN'T EXACTLY REFLECTING WHAT I AM SAYING BUT BEAR WITH!
I sign a one year contract worth £250 a week, find a nice b&b and get down to it, realising very quickly, I've got one shot a this!

I take a look at the team and run them through their paces, there is a pretty good squad here, but i decide to add to it to get them to play the way I've decided is best!
