I went back and started again from scratch. Back to back 4 seasons with an FA Vase on the way. Strangely I got moved out of the ground after 2 seasons and sent to some training ground, then the next season to another training ground. The chairman's solution just as we reach regionals? £57k a month loan repayments for 25 years. I wasn't really trying to do this for any other challenge than to see if I could do better. I could, and then the chairman nuked the club.

Just tasted my first relegation and now the club is majorly in debt. I foolishly did some mutual terminations than standard terminations, so that hasn't helped matters. A few years in the wilderness for me! I just found out my wife is expecting so I suspect sleep is not on my agenda for a few years. I may reach the Premier League by the time they are at uni...

Fought against relegation and established myself. I will be honest, I am nowhere near as good as others here, so I am enjoying the challenge but know that reaching the Premier League will take 10-15 actual years. Tried to focus on cup competitions, as you can see that went awfully. Finances now at 0. Got to really push for a good 3rd season in this league.

Had some spare time so did a season. Got promoted in the play offs after squeaking in last game. Focussed on the cups to try and get some revenue in, which you can see went....well.... Under 18s have won the league twice on the spin, so hoping that means I am going to get some good ones coming up, or at least some money from player sales.

I am not sure how much is luck, but I was took over by a fan trust at the end of my 3rd consecutive promotion into county league. We were £60k in the red and these guys put a £100k loan in to balance it out. Wasn't too keen on that in all honesty but since then they have injected ~£25k in a month and it's not going on the debt. We are still insecure financially but sitting in the black now for a bit. Its scouting costs that will end up costing you. Get a month or 2 scouting done in the pre season and then don't have them scouting for the rest of the season or you will just watch the money fly out. I haven't found a way to combat losing players left and right with nothing you can do. Only a few have stayed the course so far. Connor Russo, if I ever meet you. I will shake your hand for your dedication to the cause.

3rd season. Promotion through the play offs after losing the title on GD. Left it until the last minute of the game to tie up the final and then won it on pens. The playoff run helped boost attendance and really helped my finances. Apparetnyl the chairman is looking to sell up, so I wonder what the close season will be like! Onto County League!

I am in season 3 but I will be taking my time this time. Mostly due to blitzing season 2 as it was just so easy that I ended up spending near 14 hours on the laptop. Turns out that is a fantastic way to cause a migraine. Also within 3 games in the new division I got turned over by a team who are now sitting pretty at the top of the league and appear to be unbeaten away in nearly a season. Got to knuckle this one down a bit and enjoy it. Currently only getting job interview offers from surrounding clubs really and using all my scouting budget has done a number on the finances. I am within wage budget but I really need to turn that ship around somehow. Every season the preview puts me as relegation fodder, so even though I may have the best coaches, scouts and physios in the league, the first goal is as always to steer of relegation and then anything after that is just a bonus. I won't be able to compete with most of you guys, as this is the first time I have ever had a save below National League South, when I tried the old Chester City challenge a few years ago. It's interesting for sure! Off to chase down top spot!
