I did manage Albion Rovers for 2 seasons. I believe that you can easily achieve promotion via the playoffs with a few decent transfers and systematic tactic, only to be relegated in the next season though. But you can always move on, right?
Yes the league is very close with so many amazing teams.... lol, hopefully we achieve promotion if we do decide to stay and thanks for the comment hope you enjoy the show.

We have finally hit the end of our first ever season in football management with the mighty, amazing and down right fantastic Albion Rovers, okay well not really but the season overall wasn't so bad given the quality and resources we obviously had to work with.
So with a rather 50/50 end to the season we finish in 7th place and get acknowledged as the biggest overachievers which was a nice touch, i thought we played up to standards overall and throughout the middle of the season we really had a nice stint of 10 games or so and played well. The league itself is a strange one with key players for certain teams being the reason for success rather than the whole squad because most teams really do not have much in terms of quality at all.
Moving on ill show a quick recap of the squad and some of there ratings as well since i know all you stats freaks love that ****.
My Top 3
1. Ronan Kearney - Obvious choice, top goalscorer and stayed rather consistent throughout the season.
2. David McKay - The youngster played well alongside Fisher in the centre, real shame he is only here on loan as he had a solid debut season.
3. Jamie Watson - Out of all our wingers Watson was the only one not to prove completely useless, so props for that for what its worth lol.
Crazy to think we managed 3rd for most goals in the entire league AND had top goalscorer, makes me think where did it go wrong to finish higher?
So overall our time at Albion has been rather underwhelming considering how "well" we did to overachieve with such a poor side, but we received no badges here or even any reputation boost or momentum from this first season. So with 2 weeks left on my contract i decided to try and ****** my first coaching course as i literally had nothing to lose and to my complete surprise the board granted it!
Now after getting my badge, i thought back at the season and how we improved over those games from 1st till the 36th and well.... fake it till you make it! or some stupid phrase like that?
