Whilst getting owned by Chelsea in my Everton save, I thought up of a new challenge, which is the only challenge I found that includes two managers. One manages a club, and the other manages a national team.

The Aim

The manager of the club has to take his club to the title of the top division of his country and Europe. The manager of the nation has to take it to World Cup victory as well as the Euros.

I'm looking forward to doing this, it would be interesting. I will start it with these two managers.
Club Manager - Jason Abbott - Everton
National Manager - Wesley Abbott - England

Wish me luck!

Abbott appointed as Everton manager

An unknown man of dual nationality (England and Northern Ireland), Jason Abbott has been appointed as manager of Everton to replace David Moyes, who is now managing Manchester United.
Abbott was born in the town of Rugby on the 4th October 1985. Everton will be his first club, with his only playing experience being a career at his local club, Rugby Town, ended prematurely due to injury.
It is reported that Abbott is aiming for European Qualification this season, despite being predicted to finish 7th in the table.

Another Abbott appointed England manager

Wesley Abbott has been appointed England manager. It is a freak coincidence, as his older brother, Jason, was appointed manager of Everton 10 minutes ago.
Most of his information is similar to his brother, but Wesley has vowed to take England to the World Cup and beyond.
Wesley was born in Rugby on the 5th November 1988, 3 years after his brother. It is believed that he will be working with his brother when picking his squads.

Authors Notes
If we can beat Spain, it will be easy to get the first half of the challenge done. I hope I can achieve success with Jason, seeing as we won 4 of our 5 matches, and drawing with Monaco, challengers for the French title.

I take back what I said. The glitch has fixed itself.
I fixed the issue. The problem that broke the layout was this:
[h2][center]Pre-Season Update[/h2][/center]
In that case, center is a child of h2 and should be closed before its parent.

Text alignment tags can break layout if not used properly, this is why I've chosen not to include them to the default options of the textarea.
OK, cheers Stam.
Due to exams going on, I will stop making updates regularly. I have also found a new database that includes my local team, so I will probably be playing with that for a while. I will make a story for that as well.
