PaulHartman71 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 October We've started well in the FA Trophy, with a 2-0 win against Crook in a replay after a 0-0 draw away from home. We got a pretty good draw in the FA Cup as we got drawn at home to Conference North side Boston United. Despite the 2 division gap between us, we really did have a go at them and our goalkeeper, Sam McDermid, put in a top class performance to keep us in the game. It was 1-0 for most of the match and we did have the odd half chance to equalise and get a replay which would've been really nice, but unfortunately late on we tired and this allowed Boston to get another one to put the game to bed. A good month in the league, we had a slight hiccup away at Horsham, but other than that we won 4 and drew 1, which is really good going. The highlights were a thumping win against Corinthian-Casuals, as well as a late double to sink Aylesbury United. We're top of the league As we approach sacking season this puts me in a unique position, as I've rarely been in a position where getting a new job has actually hindered any bid for promotion. Fingers crossed if anyone does come in for me they're either a 7th tier side, or another 8th tier side that want a good go at promotion. Would be gutting to get given a job of a relegation battling side after the great form we've shown this season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 November Unfortunately we're out of the FA Trophy after a poor loss away to Shildon. We did manage to get through in the Isthmian League Cup though, with a 1-0 win at home against Haywards Heath. A decent month in the league was marred by an uncharacteristic bad day at the office against AFC Hayes - I'm not sure what happened there, but it was just a terrible day that ended up being a complete write off. We at least managed to recover just 3 days later with a fantastic 4-1 away win at Horsham. The dropping of some points puts us down to 2nd place, but we're still in a very health position with a tough December run-in fast approaching.

Hang on to those positions and it might well be promotion time. Hopefully the fact Hythe have a higher get out clause percentage means a lot of clubs are put off me. Usually at this point in the season it would cost around £1,500 to snap me up, but due to the higher wages and 40 percent at Hythe, that figure is closer to £4,000 at the moment.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 December A strong month saw 3 wins and 2 draws, with the highlight being an utter dismantling of Three Bridges, who collapsed under the pressure of our attack. We're still in a strong position, with just 1 point seperating us and leaders Faversham. My Profile constantly has the "Wnt" thing under my name as I'm consistently wanted/linked with jobs, but it seems either nobody can afford the pay-off or I'm nobody's first choice. At the moment I'm attracting interest from fellow 8th tier sides: Billericay, Brackley and Guernsey. I've also got 7th tier relegation battling side, Corinthian, interested in me. I'm not sure if I'd benefit from having Corinthian come in for me or not, as whilst it would be a jump up to the 7th tier, they look doomed to go down so it would be a relegation against my name, whereas if nobody comes in for me I could get a promotion to my name. I have tried to ask the board for a new contract to add security and put people off, but they've listed financial reasons as an excuse not to give anyone new contracts just yet, Even though I've just got my DOF to negotiate loads of new deals for playing staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 So bit of an interesting one here.... I got my first interview of the season so far, with Northern Irish Premier Division side, Institute, offering me the job. I was quite excited to get offered the interview and thought it would be cool as I've not gone out of England yet, also the Northern Irish Premier League's reputation is a considerably higher than the 8th tier of English football. However it wasn't all fun and games, as Institute were rock bottom and looked dead certs to go down to the Norther Irish 2nd tier, which has a much lower reputation than even the 9th tier of England. Then this happened... I was quite surprised by this and didn't remember this being a feature. I was in two minds about this as the criteria of my save is to "say Yes" to any job I'm offered, but I thought technically speaking I'm actually being offered/asked to keep my job at Hythe, which is kind of a separate proposition. I was also a bit worried that if I declined the talks this would **** off the board, then I'd perhaps miss out on the Institute job and be stuffed when my Hythe contract expired when they refused to renew if we didn't go up. I think either way since I'm being offered the chance to stay I don't see it as breaking my self-imposed rules for the save, so since I am in the run in for promotion and Institute seem certainly doomed I have said "Yes" to Hythe and to stay on until the end of the season (unless I'm offered another job ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 January Not the strongest of months in the league, with just 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. The point at home to Faversham isn't the worst considering they're top, but it does more or less kiss goodbye to the title, if our dropped points almost everywhere else this month hadn't already. We're still in 2nd and in a solid position, but we need to be careful as Fisher Athletic are just 7 points behind in 6th now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBrown Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah I think as long as you attempt the interviews with the intent on getting the job then it's fine - obviously that comes down to honesty on your part considering we can't exactly moderate your game. Would've been nice to see where Institute took you though, reckon a quick promotion/league win if they got relegated would've made your reputation higher and from there you could've progressed easily into a better job.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) February This month saw us come from behind in the Isthmian League Cup to win 2-1, which means we're in the Quarter Final. In some ways it's a distraction from the league that we don't really need right now, but I will still do everything in my power to win the thing. We're currently without our two main strikers in Jack Sallens and Iain Odain, so this month has not been easy. Mark Ellison who has usually been reserved for sub appearances has been starting and tbf he's done okay given the circumstances. We've even had to draft in 17 year old target man Tim Buss from the U18s who superbly grabbed a goal for himself this month. Overall it wasn't the strongest set of results, with just 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, but it was massively important to not lose to Folkestone, so I was buzzing when we got a 82nd minute penalty to equal it up. With 11 games to go it is certainly not a done thing, with Bracknell and Oxford City Nomads now just 6 points behind us.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Before I was stolen away from Hythe, we did put in some good performances, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. We also went out of the Isthmian League Cup in that time. Overall, I left them in 3rd place with the Playoffs pretty much guaranteed. I wish them the best and hope they can do it.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 So a move to the 7th tier...all fun and games right? Well, err... I've just taken over and we're 9 points adrift with just 6 games left ffs When they first offered me the interview they were 6 points off and I thought "ooh, tough ask that one" but to make up 9 points (essentially 10 when you factor in our horrendous goal difference) seems like a really big ask. The 6 games we have remaining are: Dover (H) (14th place), Harrow (H) (9th place), Kingstonian (A) (1st place), AFC Kempston (H) (19th), Haywards Heath (A) (24th), Enfield Town (H) (4th) I mean you'd maybe look at AFC Kempston and Haywards Heath as possible wins, could maybe sneak a point or a win at home to Dover too, but other than that it really looks like slim pickings.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 This is where it gets a bit weird. I'm not actually sure what the Canvey board are expecting me to achieve here. You see on one hand it would seem like they want me to avoid relegation, but it also says that they won't be judging me on the team's performance in the competition (presumably because anyone with a brain can tell they're as good as down already). But then this sort of implies that they might sack me if we do go down. I'm really not sure what's going to happen, other than we're most likely going to go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Bit of a cheek that I've gone up a tier and had to take a £10 pay cut. They're also demanding less compensation for a club to take me away (30 percent rather than the 40 percent Hythe had in) so that makes it easier for clubs to poach me next season (if I'm not sacked for getting relegated).

I'd say the first 11, apart from the Goalkeeper, is better than what I had at Hythe, but if a few of the 3/4 standout players got injured or didn't fancy staying then we'd really be nothing special in the 8th tier.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 In our final 3 games after we were down we managed just 1 point, against bottom place Haywards Heath - although I would add we had 10 men for 63 minutes of the game, so not a bad result all things considered.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Season 9: Canvey Island It was pretty much curtains for the club's time in the 7th tier when I joined, but I did my best to keep Canvey afloat. Unfortunately, we sunk. I do at least appear to have kept my job, as I was a little worried they'd be a bit weird and sack me even though they were basically down when they hired me. Thankfully, common sense appears to have prevailed. Squad pt 1 I was only here for 6 games so it's hard to really give much analysis or depth of the squad or any individual players. Our best players by far though are our CB pairing of Josh Kaye and Christian Mbulu, who both look set to leave in the summer. Our striker, Jamie Soule, is also a lot better than his 13 goals in 51 games return would suggest - if we can keep hold of him I hope he will get at least 20 next season.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Summer Transfers We actually only lost two players, Joshua Roe on a free transfer and our star striker, Jamie Soule, who left for £2.4K to join Welsh Premier League side Newtown. Despite getting a bit of money for him, once I'd renewed the contracts of our actual players, there were no funds or wage budget left to sign anyone.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 August It's been an absolutely woeful start. Just 1 goal and 1 point in 3 games so far. The locals seem scarily disinterested too - Canvey's stadium holds 4,300 and just 108 people turned up for the opening day We've been absolutely bottom so far and so quite fittingly - we are bottom. We look more likely to go down again than we do to go straight back up. Just as you thought things couldn't get much worse, we lost 1-0 to County League side, Brantham, in our first and only FA Cup match of the season. We actually got in a bumper crowd of 380 fans for this one, but you have to wonder how many of the extra day trippers who turned up for this, but not the league match, will actually be coming back any time soon.
