Nobby_McDonald Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 2018/9 - Hednesford Town (Conference Premier) Board: Avoid relegation Media: 19th Bookies: 50-1 Season tickets: 286 (up 5) There is no money in the transfer nor wage budget to sign any players. My hands are well and truly tied together and I'm left with a smaller squad than last season after releasing a couple of players. Because the board seem to be showing no ambition, I refuse to sign a contract extension which would have given me a £50 per week pay rise. A great start on the pitch sees a 4-0 win at Kidderminster and then also scoring 4 at Droylsden and Morecambe. I pick an unchanged team for the opening eight games and after twelve we're in a very good 9th position. Wallace has his shooting boots again this season. Pleasing. Game 16 sees us two down at home to leaders MK Dons who have won their last six games. A storming comeback to win 3-2 sparks a long unbeaten run and as Christmas arrives, we're surprising everybody and sit in 6th position. The transfer window closes and still with no money available, we make no signings. Our form dips and we start to slide, but when the end of the season comes, it's been a good one and the final position was much better than I was expecting. CONFERENCE NORTH FA CUP SECOND ROUND REPLAY: Torquay United 4 Hednesford Town 0 FA TROPHY THIRD ROUND REPLAY: Brentford 2 Hednesford Town 1 Fans' player of the year Average rating - Ryan Wallace 7.16 (50 games) Top scorer - Ryan Wallace 23 (19 in league) Young player of the year (as decided by me) As the season ends, my contract is expiring and despite repeated offers from the board, I still refuse to sign. I want to wait to see what money they make available for next season before signing a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 2019/20 - Northampton Town (League One) Board: Fight bravely Media: 21st Bookies: Unknown Season tickets: 2671 (up 41) I am offered a 3 year contract on £575 per week, and increase of £175 on my wage at Hednesford. Sixfields Stadium, Northampton holds 7653 (all seated) with adequate training, youth and corporate facilities. The club pay a nominal £1 per year in rent. The club has two sponsors - a 5 year stadium deal worth £115,000 per year to 2020 and a 4 year main kit deal worth £63,500 per year to 2021. We struggle to start with despite a couple of good opening games. Things don't improve, confidence is rock bottom and it becomes clear we are in the proverbial dogfight. Then we beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 at Sixfields to spark a good run, albeit a short one. In January, the loan signing of Neil Walters from Arsenal's reserve team sparks the team in to some life. His goals sees the team show some improvement. With two games to play we are three points above the drop zone. A draw at Walsall and Coventry losing prevents squeaky bum time. Walters' 12 goals in 15 games underlines his great contribution to our survival. Would we have gone down without him? Probably. A mention also to rookie Lloyd Wordsworth, who showed bags of potential in his first year in football and was rewarded with two caps for the England under 19 side in the Summer.

The chairman sold him to Aberdeen for £650,000 in pre season. Walters is refusing to rejoin on loan. Looks like this season will be even tougher than the first one at Sixfields.

Nobby_McDonald Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I've only played Southampton once, but I'm only in my second season with Northampton.

midlothian Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 It was supposed to be tantalisingly mysterious, you know. Now you ruined the effect. Spoilsport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wordsworth is still three months off his 18th birthday and he has already played 62 league games, scored 10 goals and average a shade under 7. He is worth £425,000 and has interest from Castilla and Valladolid, but no English clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmonkeyleue Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hey mate, just read through all your progress and you hae done well going from a teamin the northen league division one south to a team in leagu 1. I was over the moon when I saw Brighton get promoted to the championship and then they went down to league two. How are they doing as a whole? I am also surprised at how well the Ukranians are doing havng won 1 world cup and 1 euro championship so far in your game. Anyway, goodluck for the future, Best Wishes, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UELLfan Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ukranian players are also awesome in my save. They're well scattered amongst the best European clubs. GL on keeping Wordsworth under your iron fist, Simon. Or was it rather velvet glove? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Wordsworth - he's staying as long as I'm able to keep him. Iron fist indeed! Pete - Thanks. Ukraine have been strong which I've not noticed in other people's careers. Shows how one game world is different from another. I'll update you on Brighton when I next play.
