Rikulec Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 FM19: Thready McThreadface Hello again. I've been away for a while taking care of stuff, but now I finally have both the time and the will to start a new career thread in this wonderful place. Hopefully this will be enough to keep me occupied - and you entertained - until FM20 is out. The Aim No real aims, this is a simple journeyman save. I'll be looking to stay in the British leagues though until it's logical to make a move abroad, which will take a while. The Manager Here's my Northern Irish alter ego. He's Newry-born and a Newry City supporter because I had an enjoyable adventure with them back on FM17 I think. The game suggested the National A Licence and Sunday League experience for the third tier of Northern Irish football, which is where I'll be looking for my first job. The Save All playable leagues in Britain and also plenty of European ones. Should be good enough, as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 I don't think moving to an amateur club in Scotland would be a realistic way to start this. How did they even know of me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikulec Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 They sit 9th in the league with nine games to go. Could be a good starting point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Nice. Ryan Clark's Management Career - New Club - Annagh United Every journey begins with the first step. Club Name: Annagh UnitedNickname: -Year Founded: 1963Status: Semi-ProfessionalStadium: Tandragee Road (1,250 capacity, 100 seated) No honours, but the facilities are surprisingly decent, hell, the best in the country as far as I've checked. Perhaps I can build something for the long term here? The league is pretty much a write-off already, but we still have to do our best here. After all, my contract is up at the end of the season!

Rikulec Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Ryan Clark's Management Career - March 2019 - Annagh United Premier Intermediate League Nothing in this game can ever beat the feeling of tuning your tactic to play to your strengths (pace, pace, pace!) and then seeing it actually work out.

Rikulec Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Ryan Clark's Management Career - April 2019 - Annagh United Premier Intermediate League Unlucky against Armagh and we finish the season in 5th. Newington's dominant season and Sport & Leisure's great escape are both definitely worth looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ryan Clark's Management Career - Season Review - 2018/19 - Annagh UnitedPremier Intermediate League Results (red line marks my arrival) Competition Performance: 5th Both the results and the way we've played show some good signs. Hopefully we can improve upon that next season... if I get a new contract, that is! Irish Cup Competition Performance: Fifth Round I had no hand in this... Irish League Cup Competition Performance: First Round ...or this... Intermediate Cup Competition Performance: Second Round ...or this... Mid-Ulster Cup Competition Performance: First Round ...or this. Squad The squad is rather thin and not exactly full of quality. Luckily we can rely on the pacy players we have. Transfers - Finances The transfers had been done before I joined. We're in the red, which I guess isn't surprising. Player of the Season 1st - Niall Henderson - it would be tempting to put the top goalscorer here, but I tend to value hard-working midfielders even more for some reason. 2nd - John Uprichard - and here's the top scorer. I hope to hold onto him despite the interest from other clubs. 3rd - Rian Devlin - he only got a chance in the league when I came to the club and he didn't disappoint me. Next Season If we can bring in the right players, I can't see why we shouldn't challenge for promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikulec Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ryan Clark's Management Career - Pre-Season - 2019/20 - Annagh United Friendlies Nothing particularly encouraging. Transfers Plenty of movement here. We lost our entire back line, which is, well, not good. Jordan Gibson - a central midfielder with plenty of pace. Matthew Kerr - not terrible, I suppose. Ben Murdock - err, he's quick. Adam Calvert - a left back who actually can cross. Aaron Milligan - another central midfielder. Paul George - on paper he's the pick of the bunch. Jake Corbett - at least he's young. James Peden - he's just a rotation option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
