Transfers / Pre season

Following our first season when we became champions of VNS, decided to build on the team in order to survive in a higher division and tough league the VNL. We were weak in left/ right back, both wings, centre midfield and striking positions. To solve the problems, i brought in Lion Bello LB, James Norris LB from liverpool, Daniel Oyegoke RB free from Burton Albion, Stuart Mckinstry LW , Ryan Strik on a free, Conor Lawless loan in centre midfield. For the strikers, Preslav Borukov, Daniel Butterworth on loan. Added the team with Justen Kranthove dc, Alex Kirk dc national league player, Blondy Noukeu national league gk to boost our chances of survival. Josh Kelly, Kyle Hurst, Reece Hannam all left on a free.  Media expectation for the team before season start was 20th place. With transfers brought in, we rose to 4th in media eyes. Arranged some money making friendlies to boost our bank balance from £280k to £450k when first game begin.

League Campaign

It was a consistent campaign with barrow the main challenger from the start and wrexham from january. Barrow was leading the table all the way.  I was in the playoff places for most of the campaign. During midway of season, at game 22, we were second in the table with 45 points, barrow was first with 52 points having played a game more. 10 games later, the lead was 8 points, barrow with 71 points, us with 63 points with a game on hand. Wrexham was third, same points as us on game 33. We finally overtook barrow and wrexham with all 3 of us having 82 points, us having a better goal difference than 2 of them. the next game was crucial, we won giving us 85 points, Barrow drew giving them 83 points and Wrexham lost giving them 82 points.  We ended the table on 89 points, 1 point ahead of Wrexham which finished second on 88 points. Ultimately after playoffs, Grimsby Town was promoted together with us into league 2.  Sold ALex Kirk for £40k to championship side Barnsley and brought in Mark Little 33 years old on a free.

Cups

Exceed the board expectations with FA Cup Third round 1-0 loss away against Reading which is a Championship side.  For the FA trophy final, we lost to Barrow 2-1, which Daniel butterworth missing a penalty at the 71 mins and they scored at the death giving them the FA Trophy.

Finances

With the cup runs especially the fa cup run, we got tv prize money of £6.25k for Second Round Forest Green clash . Winner Prize money for previous rounds also help with £113.6k being pocketed. Prize money of FA trophy came in the balance with £85.9k. Total balance before tax bill of £65k came to be £684k. Bonuses of £7.75 for national league and £3.2k for FA Trophy were paid out to the squad.

This challenge consistently breaks my heart.

First season I end up comfortably mid-table after a pre-season prediction of 24th.

Season two, I'm predicted to be 18th and I finish 2nd with 85 points (basically throwing the league away in March). Lost in the first round of the play-offs. Kidderminster win the league with 90 points.

Season three, predicted to finish 7th, finish 2nd with 90 points...Chester win the league with 107!

Season four, just started and I'm predicted to finish 24th!? Budget has been cut, bank balance is -440k but I kept most of my team from last season. 24th? Really?? One point from my first two games, could be a long season after all...

The predictions never match reality; they tend to be based upon club reputation and the like, which only slowly catch up to what you are doing.  It's like playing an away game against a team you haven't lost to in six tries, and still the pundits predict you are massive underdogs.  When you win the game 3-0, they act like it's the most amazing accomplishment, akin to waking up and finding a second moon in the skies.  <shrug>

League: Very shaky start but we managed to get promoted through playoffs. At the half-way through end of the season we were 6th place with 41 Pts. 1st Place was Maidstone with 49 Pts.(They have finished 6th with 75 Pts). It was a close Championship race but we couldn’t make it. Even though we got promoted with playoffs. I guess everyone is happy about that.

Cup: Couldn’t go later stages on FA Cup and English FA Trophy. Nothing much to say about that.

Squad: Offered bunch of free agents a trial during pre-season on friendly mathes. Only 2 of the accepted. And signed them both. After i have signed some people for my Recruitment Team, i have finalised too many signings all year long.

Backroom Staff: There is no one working for team. Except me and my asistant – Neil Grey has National C Licence-. Of course there is our chairman(Brian Mansbridge) too. Looking for some coaches. After some signings we had the best recruitment team of the League and decent Coaching team. And i think that helped a lot for achieving the promotion.

Player of the Season: Mitchell Gilbey - Oh man, what a monster. He did way more then expected. Used him as Right Winger on my classic 4-4-2. He literally does everything. You can see his numbers on his profile. 3.20 tackles per game with 92% success rate is amazing.

Young Player of the Season: Harry Draper - He came on loan and he did great job. 2nd place on Goals scored, Average rating and Player of the Season voting. Much thanks to him. He was suspended with red card on his debut but after that he was a beast upfront.

Signing of the Season: Nick Hayes - It was a mid-season deal and i am very happy with that.

Vanarama National League North Season-2022-2023

 

After last season 5th place finish i was looking to build a strong side so i could challenge for promotion.

 

League Table- As you can see we went on and became champions by one point on the last game of the season.

FA CUP-Score line dose not reflect on how poor we were on the day Guiseley were better than us beat us 1-0.

Buildbase FA Trophy -- Stronger side Wrexham beat us 1-0 but we played well to try and get a reply but was not to happen and they beat us 2-1.

 

Finances- a lot worse than previous years due to contracts so looks like will have to try and sort that out. 

 

Transfer History - A lot going on here trying to get the right depth in the squad and trying to off load people who  do not want be at my club.

Will be running it again as well.  Next year I'm taking a slightly easier route.  My chairman absolutely crippled me (at Needham Market).  In my first 8-9 seasons, I got absolutely no support from him...not a single pound invested in the club.  In fact, for the first...6 seasons or so, I managed to prise one measly extra scout out of him.  Around season 7 I actually got a modest 3rd round FAC draw (Leeds maybe?) that wiped away my cash debt, and I got an extra coach or two.  Season 10(ish) (after 4-6 failed attempts to sell the club), we finally transferred to a local investor.  Only slightly better --- in one of the first 2 seasons, they invested 500K to keep us mostly afloat.  

Here in Season 13 (14?) we're in the Championship, and this will be the first season we will make a regular monthly profit (probably --- made 136K in August, lost 124K in Sept --- but only 3 matches, 1 home in September, which won't be the norm).  We should be back out of debt by end of season.  Our wage budget is abysmal (51K/wk --- 25x less than the #1 team, about 55-60% of the #23 team, and about 25% of the #21 team.

Only saving grace is we had almost £1M in transfer money -- since we're wage capped and can't bring much else in, I can transfer some of that into wage budget and get a couple cheap players at the window --- something I desperately need for a bit of depth.

 

But, yeah....FM21, give me something a little bit easier :P

I always start with the Beta --- usually find a team at least.  I try to get a bunch of saves for as many different teams as possible (host them on mediafire for others who don't want to holiday thru looking for their favorite team).  If I find an interesting team, then I go with it (and stick with it, barring being sacked or a major update w/ release that had previously/potentially killed the game.

2025/2026 End Of Season Review

Table  Fixtures  Fixtures 2  Squad  Finances  Transfers

"Few would have tipped Stourbridge to have been capable of avoiding relegation heading into the season but Stourbridge confounded every expectation by achieving a top half finish. Stourbridge were one of the competition's surprise packages, consistently defying expectations and owing largely to an impressive spell of form in December that saw them rise to 11th, were able to celebrate a successful campaign." - Football365

Following our fifth season when we became champions of Championship, decided to build on the team in order to survive in a higher division and tougher league - The Premier League.

Nice! Good service with hosting other files. 

I think I'll get started at full-release. Maybe look at the team I plan on managing in the Beta. (I'll do Morpeth Town if I can get them promoted :D

Vanarama National League Season-2023-24

 

 So we managed to get promotion to  the national league  last season so I was looking to avoid relegation this season.

 

League Table - we managed to avoid  relegation by finish 13th but we would finish higher if we did not have a mid season form.

FA CUP-Wealdstone beat us 3-2  in a decent game that could went either way. 

Buildbase FA Trophy -- We went and got our first CUP by beating Wrexham in the final 2-0.

Finances Summary - I was looking to  try and get back on track with this but the board decided to expand  part of the stadium so  that why  we are £25,42 overall and spending £17,209 p/w  dose not  help either.

 

TRANSFERS 1

TRANSFERS 2

TRANSFERS 3- Went a bit over the top trying to add depth some players will move on though. 

 

KEY PLAYER PROFILES:

TOP SCORER- Ellis Simms

MOST ASSITS- Huw Thomas

PLAYER OF THE SEASON- Ellis Simms

MOST MAN OF THE MATCH AWARDS- Jayden Campbell

POTENTIAL YOUNG PLAYER- Antonin Kominek

I'm not currently doing this challenge but am managing Alfreton (VNN) & after a bit of advice.  I've just won promotion to League Two and the board have said that we are going professional on 14th June.  Firstly, why not immediately?  I'm currently in April and am already looking at players whose contracts are expiring ready for next season but I can only offer them part time deals.  Will those contracts automatically switch to full time or am I going to be stuck with a squad of non-contract & part time, then anyone who I offer a contract to after 14th June, full time players and staff?  Obviously, if I leave my signings until 14th June then I'll potentially miss out to other clubs but I guess that's a sacrifice I'll have to make if it means they train full time.

Going full time is a bit of a random date it seems --- this year the day I won the playoffs (or next day at latest), board announced going pro with an early June date.  I've had saves in the past where we didn't go pro until late June or even July....like I said, a bit of randomness in there it seems.  If you're going pro June 14th, you should be okay with any of your current team you want to resign (yes, you actually have to renew their contract on a full-time basis).  In practice, in my first year of pro I usually only have a handful of my players on full-time contracts, the rest are on their part-time or non-contract terms.  Around December I usually try to get anyone that I plan on keeping at least one more year on a full-time contract as well.  

 

Unfortunately, with a mid-Jun date for going pro, you will miss out on any players that teams can snap up in that first week.  I would take a look and trial in some players --- I've seldom had a player on an active trial actually sign with another team during their trial with me --- might be a way to safeguard players you are interested in during that interim time.

 

Good luck!

Sky Bet League Two- Season 2025-2026

 

We went up as playoff winners last year so I was looking forward to the new season come,

 

League Table -for a newly promoted team we won the division by three points, we were looking good all season apart from the cup games we were different team in them. 

 

Leasing.com Trophy-New competition for me to get used to we played well but never going to win this to be honest.

EFL CUP 1ST RD-we got beat by Blackpool in this score dos not reflect on how well  I  thought the lads played. 

FA CUP-- We managed to get to the second round this year only to be stopped by AFC Wimbledon who beat us 2-1. 

Squad- I thought i had  assembled a strong team in the summer and few additions threw out the season to help us gain promotion. 

Transfer History- Not lot going on only bought ten players to give me more depth in the team.

Finances Summary-Shocking our finances are due to the new expansion of the stadium and sending players on language courses. 

 

 

KEY PLAYER PROFILES:

 

TOP SCORER- Dimitri Sea

MOST ASSITS- Nathan Shaw

FANS PLAYER OF THE SEASON-Ellis Simms

Hey Dafuge, we going to get the 21 challenge for the BETA ?

I wasn't planning on buying FM21, so this year would have been the last for the challenge.

I've since had second thoughts and have begun playing FM again after a gap of about 18 months.

I've no idea when the beta is out, but I probably won't have time to get the thread up and running until Friday/Saturday.
