Yo everyone. I'm incredibly new to manager story writing and quite ridiculously shocking with computers so bear with me. I've been playing FM since 2009 and as a life long FFC fan I could only really choose one club to give this a go with. No doubt I will be asking the more experienced of you for tips at some point so apologies in advance! I'm starting this at the beginning of the 2015/16 (this) season with updates in place.
Update 11/08/15 - forgot to mention I'm writing this from the point of an embedded journalist within Fulham FC

After another very disappointing season for the once established Premier League side, Fulham found themselves narrowly avoiding a last day relegation scrap with a couple of late season wins under manager Kit Symons.
Symons was promoted from the U21's to take over from the German horror show that was Felix Magath, and after results began to improve initially, Fulham were quickly back to their inconsistent ways leading to a shaky finish. Though it seemed the Board and the Chairman were giving Kit the summer to bring in some faces of his choosing, in another U-turn, which has become common place for Fulham fans, Symons was inexplicably axed. Rumours are a boardroom bust up sparked the dismissal, however, confirmed reports are yet to emerge.
The Fulham faithful weren't made to wait long for their replacement. Enter stage left, Jacob Selvski. The half Croatian, half English 42 year old has never managed a first team side and his appointment has no doubt left many Fulham fans puzzled. However, if his lack of first team experience is a worry then his coaching ability definitely isn't. London born Selvski has coached under Mourinho at Inter Milan, Scolari at Brazil, Ferguson at United and most recently Guardiola at Barca and then Bayern.
As of yet the only quote we have from the new Fulham boss is, "I am happy to be back home. London is my birthplace and the greatest city in the world. I want to make Fulham the greatest club this city has to offer."
So if Fulham fans can take anything away from this further period of destabilisation it's that Selvski is aiming for the stars!
