The Debut! So here we are the long awaited debut of the next big thing in management! Mark Jones has been quoted as saying Truly the entire World will be glued to their TV screens to see just what the fuss is about. And with the board truely 100% behind my talent there's nothing stopping me. Nobody tells me no 4 times before I get on my knees and beg! Nobody! They will all be quaking! Anyway back to the serious matter at hand. The football. We started bright and full of beans... Then this happened. A corner not dealt with and a simple header. Its like watching 6th Tier of English Football...oh wait. Next up we had a long ball over the top and a lovely finish, I was worried this exact thing was going to happen. Football Manager with the harsh definition of what a "Shot On Target" is. Anyway 1-1 and we back in the game. Lively start. We go into the half 1-1. Rush had a good chance but it was well saved. Other than that there's been a lot of long ranged shots. I've played enough FM to know we are going to lose this game thanks to a 30 yard thunderbolt. I tell the players I'm happy with the number of shots and to keep it up. Now I'm worried they think its acceptable to shoot form 46 yards. Half hour left on the clock and we are going to be under the cosh now. A little context on this red card. He was booked 8 minutes into the game, but this challenge was that bad it was a straight red. So basically he was booked 3 times in the same game. Outstanding commitment to the aggression. 66th minute we put together a brilliant move, lots of movement, lots of passing and suddenly Jackson finds himself through! He shoots and honestly legend has it that the ball still hasn't landed. Watch the skies! What I have very quickly learned about this side is, the strength in depth is absolutely terrible! I don't dare make any subs because the starters with a oxygen mask are better than the subs. 86th minute - We escape! They are all over us and the woodwork is rattled from about 4 yards out. Its a miracle it didn't bounce back and knock the striker out. If the post wasn't there so poor geezer in Row H would have lost his pie. Absolute scenes when the 4th offical but 1 minute of added on time up. I'm pretty sure it took 3 minutes to muzzle Issac. Any way. Good point on the whole. Will take it. Its something to build on. Don't worry I won't do every game like this. Just the big ones. (I know playing fast and loose with the word "big".)

Why thank you. I actually enjoyed it in a sadistic type of way. I thought it was never going to happen and if Chelmsford didn't call back I think it would have been Operation Asia! But lets see how we get on. Thanks for the feedback and hope you enjoy :-).

Chelmsford City 2021/22 So in the absolute horror scenario that I'm here for a long time I thought I better introduce the players that are going to help me get out of here. My first choice keeper isn't going to go on to have an amazing career but he could do a job for us in the National League South, obviously the aim is promotion, maybe not this season but long term. This guy I think can help. Our starting LWB is very good (for this level). On loan from Palace I'm excited to see what he can bring to the team. (I can't believe I'm saying that when the guys best attribute is 13 but at this level Pace can kill). Centers back and this guy isn't great but he will do. Good attributes in the right places, such as heading , tackling and marking. In fact you know what. He's not too bad. His speed and acceleration scare the bejeesus out of me. His CB partner tells me that the opposition tactics might consist of "long balls over the top". They are both going to be smoked! Cameron is the jewel of the back line and annoyingly he's being forced to play in his worse position due to lack of options elsewhere. He will be key for a good season I think. Dunne looks like a tidy player for this level. He will be out starting CM and should be a good playmaker looking at his stats. Issac will partner him and its a position I'm happy with (for a change). Love a guy with aggression (remind me I said that when I'm bitching about his 3rd Red of the season). Look at him with this International Caps! One of our best players. Looking forward to seeing what he can do down the wing and with his finishing could play as striker if need be. In the AMC role I've promoted a guy from the Youth Side. It was our weak position before hand so I thought I might as well give a youngster the chance. He has some good stats and I can see a future where he might be a key player for this side. Just not now and hopefully long after I've gone. Another player who isn't going to light the World up but hopefully can do a job at this level. Honestly he is the first player I'm looking to replace. In fact already had a loan bid rejected for somebody to do just that. I like to play an AF up front. Dunno why, just do. He isn't bad for that and at this level should be a 15 goal guy at least. Expect big things. So that's the Starting XI. I won't show any of the other peons but will keep you updated with my kidnappings in the transfer market. First game will be against 11th place Hemel Hemsted. Lets be aving you!

Chelmsford City Wikipedia describes Chelmsford City as Chelmsford City Football Club is a football club based in Chelmsford, Essex, England. Currently members of the National League South, the sixth tier of English football, they play at the Melbourne Stadium. Truely a remarkable description. I have been lucky enough to bag an 8 month contract. The 5 year plan is to remain in the National League South. My 5 year plan (don't say doing your wife don't say doing your wife) is to not be here. So this is my first team and tactics straight off the bat. That's my best team at the moment. Obviously there's a few holes in there. So how bad are things at the moment? Well in the National League South only one team goes down out of 21 as the league rejigs itself after Covid and a few teams having to close their doors. We start as that team going down. We are literally starting at the bottom of the playable English pyramid. I mean...the only way is up right? We have already been knocked out of the FA Cup but we still have a chance in the FA Trophy. Obviously the aim is survival and see what happens after that. Financially we are looking quite good for the level we are at. I have scope for bringing a few players in. I am thankful for the chance at a job and am thankful for the love and support I've recieved by my players I am 100% going to have to start my meeting by saying "I know none of you have heard of me before..." The lads have 6 days before my first game. Let my reign of terror commence!

Job Centre with a Vengence! Lots of applications but absolutely zero chance of getting them. At this point I just want an interview for the experience. I have declared interest with about 40 insecure jobs. Some teams I've never even heard of. They are the best type of club! I am currently in the Middle of October and not even so much as an interview. The excitement when I see news in my inbox... Followed by the utter devestation. This is the lowest reputation team I've applied for. I have a feeling this is all or nothing... Yes I will be using old memes. There is no way in the World I am not taking this job. The 6th Tier of English Football it is...

Job Centre 2 Job Centre Harder! Willow. What do I pay you for? Hang on...wait...please don't tell me I pay you. Spain without the S. Now then! I always thought Kaiserslautern would make a good German sounding Swear Word so I'd be well up for this. Please. Ah here it is. A few clubs later than I thought but here nonetheless. Have I made the Spain joke yet? The face of the man full of ideas! I should have applied for the Ghana job. Got my eye on that Benfica job. Could walk straight into it. It is August the 31st. Send help. Kaiserslautern hired this guy... Showing off with his fancy badges and experience. Makes me sick. Desperate times call for Desperate measures. Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore will join the cast after Christmas in the hopes that somebody will take pity on me. A new low. Going to be an interesting thread when we get to page 2 and I still haven't got a job! I'll be back.

Job Centre So many Countries so many ways this save can start. I'm so excited to see the endless posibilities. Guys guys guys! Form an orderly queue! I really don't know what to say. I was hoping and maybe expecting more. Can't see myself getting the Leyton Orient job (which is a really depressing sentence to type out). Woking, maybe? But I think I could be heading to Portugal to start this save. One of my favourite saves started in Portugal so I wouldn't actually complain and its the reason why I put Portugal on there in the first place. Who has two thumbs and reeks of desperation.... This guy! Can't wait for the laughing off from teams. Always brings several tears to the eye. 23 hours 55 minutes after I applied. The dream didn't last long. I don't want to apply for these jobs. I want to try and keep a little tiny smidge of realism and I can see myself applying and getting one of these jobs with more experience at Carphone Warehouse than Football. I had no chance against the manager who talks about the size of Hamsters balls on TV. No chance at all. This hasn't quite gone the way I planned to start with. At least I have two jobs to fall back on. It was a painful 8 minutes. I think it might be a while. I'm going to have to wait till November aren't I and take over a team with no wins. Cheers Willow. Thanks for the update. I play games to avoid the harsh truths of life! I'll erm..............just catch you guys when something happens.

I have a habit of creating threads where the goal is ridiculously impossible then disappearing off the face of the Earth not nearly close to finishing them. You might remember me from such impossible saves as... Trying to Earn 1billion in Career Earnings and start the career on 350p/w Trying to get the Premier League full of London Teams (actually abandoned mid save) Winning a trophy in each County And the latest, completing all Achievements. End of the day I don't have the puff to continue these saves. Well cut a long story short I've been reading through one of my old saves (Trying to earn 1billion Career Earnings) and it gave me the itch for posting on here again. I've done a couple of saves off forum this year. I want to go back to the basics of Football Manager and do a save just for the enjoyment of playing. No fancy goal, no ridiculous notion. Just me, playing FM, having fun and keeping you guys up to date with how its going. So on that note, I will be starting this save with No Badges, No Experience and No Hope. Basically the most realisitic version of me I could find. Now when it came to the setup I've gone with this... England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Scotland all down to the lowest out the box tier. I figure this gives me the best chance of finding a job at the start. I'm willing to start anywhere, no preference. As mentioned there are no goals, neither long term nor short term. I don't have to manage a specific team, I don't have to win a specific Cup. I just want to have fun going where I want. I'll add and remove leagues as I go along, maybe see Spain at some point down the road. This is me. Sexy sexy beast. Going for the 1990s Cup Final look. Quite frankly these stats are generous for me. That's it. Time to get the old newspaper out and start looking for work!
