kris0710 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 English (and a couple of Welsh) Football teams by Ceremonial County Using the ever reliable source of Wikipedia I have come up with a list of 41 teams, one for each ceremonial county featuring sides from the English leagues down to BSBN/S. I shall use a random number generator to select three clubs. I will then leave it up to you guys to select my club from the poll. Although I will be starting this shortly so there may not be too many votes cast!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0710 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 The 41 clubs Aldershot Town Aston Villa Blackburn Rovers Bournemouth Bradford City Brentford Brighton and Hove Albion Bristol City Cardiff City Carlisle United Charlton Athletic Cheltenham Town Colchester United Derby County Everton FC Chester Hartlepool United Hereford United Ipswich Town Kidderminster Harriers Leicester City Lincoln City Luton Town Newcastle United Newport County Northampton Town Norwich City Nott'm Forest Oxford United Peterborough United Plymouth Argyle Reading Shrewsbury Town Stoke City Swansea City Swindon Town Watford Wigan Athletic Wrexham Wycombe Wanderers Yeovil Town I have purposely kept away from the bigger teams to make it a little harder to win the top titles in England and Europe. The main two aims from this will be to firstly - manage all 41 teams and secondly win every league and cup competition from Champions League to FA Trophy. To count as managing a club I have to be in charge for at least half a season (Premier League clubs 19 games, League Two teams 23 games). I will mainly be sticking to one year contracts and I hope to also bring members of my backroom staff to as many clubs as I can (Mark Hughes style). Once all 41 sides have been managed I will then look to England and take them through a 4 year cycle with one World Cup and one Euro Championship shot. The only other time I will take the England reigns is if I find myself sacked and out of work, even then though I shall not manage club and country at the same time.

kris0710 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 July 2012 Club 1 Bournemouth League One Pre Season Transfers Adam Blackman - signed from Bolton on a season long loan. Yet to make a senior appearance. Danny Butterfield - experienced right back comes in for the season from Southampton. Featured 34 times for the Saints in their 2010/11 League One campaign. Callum McManaman - Last of the season long loans from Wigan. Short term injuries to Tubbs and McQuoid added to the long term injury to Sheringham meant an extra forward was needed. Results Away from home was great preparation for the new season. 17 scored with Pitman getting 9 of them. The new season starts with Yeovil away in the League Cup followed by League games at home to Tranmere and away to Stevenage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 August 2012 Club 1 Bournemouth League One Results: As good as it gets on the league front. Eight goals coming from my three only fit forwards has led us to the top. Table: League Cup: Penalty shoot out defeat in my first match in charge. Midfielder Eunan O'Kane missed the vital penalty and has followed that up with a red card in our league win over Notts County. Yeovil meanwhile beat Championship side Derby 1-0 away from home to set up a third round tie away to Watford. September brings a quick chance to avenge the Yeovil loss. A busy month with 7 league games and hosting Aldershot in the JPT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0710 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 So you post a poll asking people where you should start... then two hours later you post you're starting at Bournemouth. Really worthwhile having that poll... I was intending on starting tonight, hence the poll. But had a couple of spare hours so went with the side that was leading the poll. Goodluck at Bournemouth!A good start to the season. Also interested in how many clubs you will manage long term I can't really afford to be at clubs for long. Is it too much to ask for a title every year and move on? Probably! Well, he did say he was starting early... I expected early to be one-two days... I need as much time as I can before FM14 is out.

kris0710 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 September 2012 Club 1 Bournemouth League One Results: A difficult month this time round featuring games against sides that have made impressive starts. The away win at MK Dons was somewhat soured by two poor displays against Doncaster and Colchester. Table: Johnstone's Paint Trophy: Fairly easy progression into the next round with 8 players making first starts of the season. League Two Exeter at home next.
