[FM11] Expanding the Duckett Empire through the World of Football

In My previous Career Thread 'The Road To Continental Dominance' i had some serious processing problems due to the simple fact i had most playable leagues loaded. So this time im Back with much fewer leagues available at my disposal and the desire to conquer the continents. I am very familiar with Football Manager 2011 and in all honestly have never got into a save i have enjoyed for more than 3 seasons so I am hoping this will be the final career i will pursue till FM12 is released. The details of my save are as follows below:

Database - 11.3

Database Size - Small

Edits - Real Competition Names

Leagues Loaded:

Africa - South Africa

Asia - Australia, China, South Korea, Hong Kong

Europe - England, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, France, Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Scotland, Turkey, Croatia, Serbia, Ukraine, Denmark

North America - Mexico, United States

South America - Argentina, Brazil

This means that i have loaded 49 Leagues from 26 Nations with 89000 Players!

I am starting with my reputation as Sunday League Footballer due to the simple fact that i want to play this career as realistically as possible so with this reputation i will start off at the lowest club possible.

Goals/Ambitions - Firstly I am a Chelsea Supporter so to Achieve the Champions League with Chelsea is a huge dream for me and To manage Reading would also be good to me as i was brought up their up to my 7th Birthday. I have at least one playable nation from each continent so I will definately give it my best shot to achieve all 5 continental competitions (AFC Champions League, CAF Champions League, Copa Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League, Uefa Champions League). The last goal is to become the Best Manager Ever in the Hall of Fame would be the biggest achievement for me so lets hope i can achieve this goal.

Hope Everybody enjoys and I will have next update Tommorrow Night!

--------------------------

I have started the game on July the 7th and after applying for all available jobs in English Football i received 4 job offers from club in the lowest playable tier on football manager 2011. The job offers i received were from:

Bromley - Bromley was a club i would have been delighted to manage, however i noticed their was a number of Forum Members currently managing this club so i decided against this club.

Thurrock - I received an offer from Thurrock and AK22 was managing Thurrock is his thread so i decided against Thurrock due to the simple fact i wanted to manage a club in the unknown other than what most Forumers are or have managed.

Solihull Moors - Solihull Moors was the only job offer i received from a Blue Square North side but the squad is very poor in my eyes and the wage currently being spent is close to the budget which put me off this club as they would be a proper challenge.

Farnborough - Farnborough offered me the chance to manage at the Rushmoor stadium. Their aint many threads involving Farnborough and i feel it is a challenge that i am capable in being able to achieve promotion with this club.

Ha Willy Topp is a beast Off-Season Transfers shortly

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notable Transfers

Marc Lunn - Had him on loan last season from Bathgate Thistle and he impressed when called upon so i have signed him on a permanent contract.

Ryan Strachan - Center back at the age on 21. A player for the future and has good stats presently to fill in if ever required.

Blair Adams - Left back that is only 19 years old and a future prospect. Has a bright future in the game and hopefully we can bring the best out of him.

Will keep looking out.

Ok Paul, Thanks

I have never been offered a job , My rep is now at Regional so i wonder when i will get offered a job :/

Mark Smith, Remeber the Name. Youngster brought up from youth side to play against Gateshead and produces a stunner. Reminds me of Tshabalala's goal for South Africa in world cup

What we ppl prefer, Me to do a youth challenge career or continue this? You decide?

What we ppl prefer, Me to do a youth challenge career or continue this? You decide?

He Will keep doing this for now

Im having a nice little cup run

What the hell! On fm just got a message about XML token or something and it shutdown Gotta go back a month

Now THIS is what i call a reward for a cup run

Now THIS is what i call a reward for a cup run

Nice! An in Emirates Stadium, that'll definitely pay for a few players or stadium upgrades.

Absolutely loves it but i wonder how much money it will actually bring in ? :/

I had a game at Tottenham in the Cup while I was Farnborough, and I made about a million. You should make even more if it sells out...

I hope so Withnail, Would be a massive boost

Would this bring in even more money?

A very good offer that has me baffled, Got him on a free at start of season only played 12 games scoring 10 goals, Accept or decline :/

I cant quite believe i just drew 4-4 with Arsenal at the emirates :O, Will probs lose replay but a tie against Villa awaits the winners

Shame i lost 7-1 at home :L

Blue Square Bet Premier

Final Standing I Fixtures 1 I Fixtures 2 I Fixtures 3 I Past Positions I Team Stats I Player Stats - A memorable season for this club. Founded in 2007 and we are promoted for the second season running. In the first season in this division so Relegation was predicted but we proved everybody wrong as we stormed into the play-offs place (5th) and won the play-offs to gain promotion to the football league. We started the season fantastic but towards the end we started to become poor but we held on to get 5th position. We were the second highest scoring team in the division and we were fantastic to gain promotion.

Board Confidence - Achieve Expectation - The board were delighted and shocked with the final position of the team as we was predicted relegation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FA Cup

FA Cup Fixtures - We were fantastic in the FA Cup as we achieved a nice little cup run. We started off in the 4th Qualification round as we scraped past non-league outfit Windsor and Eaton 4-3 to advance to the 1st Round Proper where we faced Fleetwood again in which we scraped past 3-2. The 2nd Round gave us what should be an easy tie against Blue Square South side Bishop Stordford and we got the victory we deserved with a 2-0 win. The 3rd Round was next in which we had a dream tie against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium. To my delight we got a 4-4 draw at the Emirates against a young Arsenal side to give our fans a glimpse of Arsenal at the Rushmoor Stadium but in the Replay we got demolished 7-1 against a Brilliant Arsenal starting 11 that included Fabregas but we earned over 1 mil from both legs which was pleasing.

Board Confidence - Achieved Expectation - The board wanted our squad to achieve the 1st Round Proper as we exceeded their expectations with a cup run that lasted till the 3rd Round where we was knocked out to European Giants Arsenal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FA Trophy

FA Trophy Fixtures - In my eyes we were very disappointing in the FA Trophy. We started off with a Bye into the 1st Round proper where we faced Worcester. We scraped through the game with Worcester with a 2-1 victory to send us through to the 2nd Round in which we faced Blue Square South side Hayes and Yeading. To my despair we lost 2-0 to stop our progress in this competition.

Board Confidence - Achieved Expectaion - The board wanted us to reach the 2nd Round of this competition which we did but i thought that we had a great chance of going far in this tournament with the squad available at my disposal but it wasnt to be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Squad

Tiago Cavalcanti - New signing Tiago was class this season and instrumental in my side gaining promotion as he bagged himself 30 goals from 33 games in his first season in English Football which is very impressive and created interest from other clubs.

Willy Topp - Willy had a fantastic season last year but this year not so good as he scored 13 goals in 33 games and this has started me thinking wether he is good enough for League Two so this is an issue i may need to address.

Cristian Peruchini - Cristian was superb this season on the Right Wing and was a major part in helping Tiago score 30 goals as he Cristian ended the seaon on 19 assists.

Finances

Finances - The finances are superb as a brilliant cup run mixed with promotion means that we had 1.6mil in the balance which is fantastic for a club of this statue so hopefully the board will improve some of the club facilities in the summer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Club Statue

The club status was Semi-Professional but due to the fantastic achievement of promotion the club has been able to turn into a professional club which will attract better players to this football club.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Facilities

Due to fantastic cup run and finances we achieved from a trip to the Emirates stadium the club and board has decided to build a youth academy which means we can bring in better Youngsters from the academy in hope that we can get some future stars.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season Objectives

- Stay Clear of Relegation

Achieved - We ended the season in 5th position and gained promotion to the NPower Football League Two to the delight of myself, the fans and the board.
