New Lions Born in Guiseley (FM15 Story)

[Sabres2000 17]

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

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 19th vs. Leeds

July 16th

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.
