This is my first ever story so bear with me and let me know how I'm getting on! Ive always enjoyed reading detailed stories on people who enjoy the challenges of taking a lower league club and having the patience to go from season to season and hope to get into the top league and challenge for titles and european silverware!
I decided to take up this mantle myself and start a career with Stockport County! Ive only ever lasted 6 seasons with Luton Town on FM2012 and havent had the bug on any other game since so here goes!
Will post updates of my first season right away..... TBC....
Stockport County Announce New Manager
Stockport County have fallen miserably to 6th Tier of English Football and have hired Luke Boys as their new manager. They hope that he can bring back some of the 'glory days' to the club and create a new confident aura. Having been asked about what he feels about the appointment Mr Boys had this to say;
'Stockport was once a successful club playing regularly at a high level. The fan base, stadium and history are there for everyone to see and I hope that I can bring back something of a winning mentality to the club.'
There was a sense of optimism surrounding this appointment and the fans are keen to see what new approach he will bring to the club.
Starting Infrastructure
The stadium is huge considering the league and level the current side is playing at. Has a Capacity of 10,500! Aim is to fill it on a weekly basis!
Club Worth - 625k
Training Facilities - Poor
Youth Facilities - Poor
Scouting network - What network?!?
Aims
Season 1 - Skrill North
- Promotion to Conference
- Profitable Club Finances
- Sign youngsters to develop
As you can see, Mr Boys isnt hoping for miracles to begin with, just hoping to gain promotion and start a new generation of prosperity at Edgeley Park
Up Next - Transfers and Pre Season.........
