Recommended Posts

For my career game I have started unemployed on a Sunday League reputation. My aim is eventually manage my hometown club Hull City.

Current jobs that I applied for where Carlisle in English Sky Bet League One - This was always going to be ambitious of landing this job - as expected I didn't get shortlisted for an interview and the job went to Nick Barmby.

Following that I applied for Stockport in English Skrill North league and also Larne in the Belfast Telegraph C1 league with both interviews a day apart.

Ideally I wished to get the Stockport job as the club has plummeted down the leagues in the last 10 years or so from the Championship to the Skrill North league and this would be a good challenge to get them back from non-league football.

Following the interviews the first club that came back with an offer was

I have now given myself a 3 year plan to reach the Football league. The boards current expectations this season is for a title challenge with a media prediction of 3rd - hopefully on a one year deal I can deliver.

This is a complete different challenge to Stockport - who wanted instant success.

The club are in the Skrill North for the first time in there history following promotion last season.

The other reason I took the job is that they are local to me and are affiliated with the club my hometown club Hull City in which I support and wish to eventually manage in the game. Im hoping Steve Bruce will send some of the Premiership youngsters on loan to me.

Aims

For the remainder of the first season I will assess the squad and get to know the existing players. I will also tap up Hull to see if I can obtain any loan players. I don't wish to make any rash predictions at the moment but would like promotion in the next 3 years but I will need to assess the finances which Im expecting to be poor and then I can assess how I can go about making an impact at the club

Were you sacked at North Ferriby too?

The story is continuing - the save crashed and I thought I had lost it - therefore needed to start again - however I have found a backup copy on my laptop
