This is my new save/blog based with me taking over my childhood club - Everton FC.
I want to bring back the glory days to the club and once again become one of the dominating clubs in England.
Everton, as a club, appeal to me. Not only as my childhood club but with the youngsters they have produced over the years and the amount of times they have challenged the top clubs.
It's time for this club to stop being seen as a 'small club' and to grow to their potential and take England and Europe for their own.

First day on the job
As I was expecting, £5 million transfer budget and £1.16mil wage budget. Everton aren't a club of money. If I am going to make it in this job, I am required to make some serious budgeting.
Looking at my team I can see that I will need to improve my LM area.
First orders of buisness:
- Get a decent feeder club.
With a decent feeder club I would be able to send youngsters to a club without the fuss of finding a club with decent training facilities and coaches.
- Sell off the deadwood.
Alcaraz, Robles, Pienaar, Junior, Hibbert are all a waste of wage.
- Get tactic preperation sorted.
The quicker the players can adapt to my tactics the easier the process will become.
- Renew contracts for youngsters.
George Green, Luke Garbutt, Ryan Ledson all have contracts expiring within the year.
