We will be using the default database the idea that I seen by Wynne from Youtube about only buying Regens aka Youth Intake so that is all I will be using for signing players in this game. I want to become the first Canadian to make his name known in the England league in FM15 save.
 
Just a bit of history of myself
 
Growing up in Hamilton, Ontario Canada I was a huge hockey fan and after completing the SWMM scouting and GM course I knew what it would take to run a successful franchise. However there was no shot in becoming a team manager in hockey unless you had your foot in the door or basically knew someone. Like the saying goes it’s not what you know it’s who you know. So I decided to take my management skills and apply them to a soccer team. So here I am sitting in my Hamilton apartment as i just finished my smww hockey gm and scouting course I have decided to give up my hockey dream and begin my soccer manager team. After a poor past couple of seasons it was known in the media that the Guiseley FC has recently fired their Manager and has begun their search for their new manager in hopes to change the franchise around and build their club. As I look at the possible ideas to help change the club I would decide to fax my resume to the ownership of Guiseley FC and after a few interviews as a canadate for the manager position I got a few phone calls later to find out that out of all of the managers that they interviewed i was the best one for the job so now I have been named as the new Guiseley FC Team Manager.
 
As far as nations database goes I have selected the following countries
 

 
We will be using England’s start date to begin our save
 
I have also decided to go with Canada as my 1st nationality as that was where i was born and Dutch as my second nationality as I have Dutch and Italy as my other nationalites.
 
I have decided to go in the middle at the Managerial style (National B License and Sunder League Footballer both based on Guiseley bages)
 

 
Club info:
 

 
July 8th
 
My contract is a 1 yr deal until June 2015 worth 700 p/w
 
We were give a wage budget of $7k per week and $0 transfer budget
 
We have one loaned player which is Shane Killock who is on loan with us until May 2nd 2015
 
We also have an injury in our club:
 
D – Ryan Toulson (damaged cruciate) – out 4 weeks to 2 months
 
I have approached the board about increasing the junior coaching budget as we are building our clubs within our youth intake and regions once we get higher up in the league.
 
After looking through all of the staff I have decided to fire the following members:
 
U18 Manager: Dave Currie
 

 
Head of Youth: Callum Pugh
 

 
Physio: Martin Stringfellow
 

 
Chief Scout: Graham Angus
 

 
Assistant Manager – Danny Boshell (We have decided to fire him because with him being player/manager we hired a better manager and he couldn’t take just a player position so we decided to let him go)
 
Assistant Manager side
 

 
Player Side:

We have hired 36 yr old coach Jon Beswetherick as our U18 Manager for 300 per week until June 30th 2015
 

 
We have scheduled 9 pre-season friendly games only because we have 2 tactics we want to try out with our club and during the pre-season friendly schedule each tactic , so each tactic will get 4-5 friendly games to see how well our club reacts to them or as some would say a week.
 
The pre-season schedule so far for the 3 clubs (Main/U21/U18):
 
Main:
 
July 12th vs. Bradford
July 16th vs. Queen of Sth
July 19th vs. Leeds
July 22nd vs. FC United
July 24th vs. Atherton LR
July 26 @ Brigg
July 30th vs. Bamer Bridge
August 2nd vs. Rochdale Town

July 24th @ Chester U21
July 31st West Ham U21
August 3rd @ AFC Fylde U21

July 16th
 
Our main squad has a friendly game at home against Queen of Sth. Our main squad won by a score of 2-0, Andy Holdsworth and Alex Johnson scored the goals.
 
So we will only be able to sign youth intake players and get players on loan from our parent club Leeds or any parent clubs we have in the future is the only rule I will have for bringing in players.
 
July 19th
 
We have a friendly game against our parent club in Leeds. Our main squad lost by a score of 2-0

July 25th
 
Our U18 has a friendly game against Port Vale U18, our U18 lost by a score of 1-0.
 
Barrow has been made the favourite 8-1 to gain promotion from the VCN this season. The rest of the main contenders are priced at:
 
33-1 Oxford City, 33-1 Harrogate, 40-1 Tamworth, 40-1 Guiseley, 40-1 Hyde
 
Having priced your team at 40-1, the bookmakers obviously believe that you are one of a number of teams in with a serious chance of promotion. They feel that as long as you perform to your capabilities there is no reason why you shouldn’t be in a promotion spot come the end of the season.
 
July 26th
 
Our main squad has a friendly against Brigg, we drew a 1-1 draw against Brigg. Alex Johnson scored the lone goal and Gavin Rothery missed the penalty shot.

Note: For this story I used the an old TBLv1.4 or 5 can’t remember, I quick simmed through the 2006-2007 season and then rook over my favorite WHL team after the last day of the season which is March 18th 2007. That favorite WHL team of my is the Chilliwack Bruins. 
 
Using the EHM 07 Realism Patch
 
Our development club is the Westside Warriors of the BCHL league. Just a bit of history this past season, Chilliwack Bruins finished last in their division with 68 points 6 pts out of a playoff spot behind Kelowna who finished with 74 points. Saskatoon who finished with 66 pts and Seattle who finished with 58 pts both made the playoffs as Portland with 57, Swift Current with 58; Regina with 62, Chilliwack with 68 and Calgary with 69 are the 5 teams who missed the playoffs.
 
Our Rivals are Vancouver Giants and Kelowna Rockets
 
WHL Playoffs, Conference Quarter Finals
 
March 18th
 
After a disappointing season that saw us miss the playoffs, the team decided to fire the GM and have decided to name Rick Stevens as the new GM. I have yet to decide on what I want to do this upcoming season as we maybe ready to make the playoffs but I don’t think we are ready to make a memorial cup run so we might be in a bit of a mix of playoffs/rebuild until our group is ready to make the playoffs as we are in a very competitive BC Division. 
 
My first job as GM was to fire Jim Hiller, assistant coach Peter Hay, Dan Price as we have decided to keep goalie coach Brady Robinson and defense coach Brad Werenka.
 
As far as scouts we decided to let go of Lorne Sanders, Murray Porter, Dan Noble, Rob Morphy, Ray Ference, Dave Smith. We have decided to keep scout Pat Corrado so we have someone to scout the upcoming draft.Dave Smith and Rob Morphy. Smith will head out to scout the WHL Bantam draft and Morphy will begin to head to Europe to scout for the CHL Import draft.
 
We begin our search to replace the fired staff and improve our staff. We also looked through our reserve list as we have 43 of a possible 50 players as we plan on making room for our upcoming draft class.
 
Before I move on I thought I would mention that the previous gm made two trades this past season sending our 10th pick to Red Deer for Devon Leblanc and our 15th pick to Everett for Brennan Sonne.
 
Our club finished with a record of:
 
72gp 30-34-4-4 .472 179 GF 199 GA 10.5 PP % (20th) 88.4 PK % (5th) 68 pts

March 20th
 
Our Bruins organization has decided to release defenseman Stephane Lenoski has decided to join Vancouver in July 5th, Chad Scharff who was a overage this season and will be a UFA; goalie Derek Swan who is a overage next season who did not fit into our team plans. Forwards Trevor Greco, Levi Brotnov, Josh Aspenlind (overage this season), defenseman Evan Oberg, defenseman Ryan Smith, forward Jadon Potter
 
Right now we have 7 overagers next season Myles Stoesz, Ken Petkau, Nick Holden, Brennan Sonne, Alex Archibald, Dylan Chapman, Joey Martini. We have yet to decide which 3 we will keep for next season.
 
Right now that leaves us with 35 players on our reserve list which we will be down to move once we decide who that other overage player is.

March 23rd
 
Our Bruins have named Jochen Weilert (German) to our scouting staff, Ilkka Repo (Finnish) will be added to our assistant coach, Jesse Phillips (American) to our training staff, Paddy Ginnell (Canadian) to our scouting staff; Tom Wood (American) to our scouting staff; Collin Maier (German) to our scouting staff, Andreas Andersen (Dannish) to our coaching staff; Geoff Kent (Canadian) as our assistant GM; Marso Caban (Slovakia) to our training staff; 
 
Our staff have yet to decide on the fate of center Aki Kangasmaki as it all depends on who we take in the 2007 CHL Import draft with our top pick.
