There’s only one Bully!
Hi all, just a bit of information about my idea for this save I’ve been thinking for a while now about doing a “ex-player becomes manager” but couldn’t make my mind up on who to pick Henry, Bergkamp, Beckham Etc.

Well with the going’s on at Newcastle today made me think and then it clicked! Why not do an ex-player becomes manager at the tail end of the first season so I apply for a job at a club near the drop zone and try and save them.

As some may of guessed I’m going to play as the legend that is…Jimmy Bullard!
Jimmy Bullard

James Richard "Jimmy" Bullard (born 23 October 1978) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder. He played youth football at West Ham United before moving to Gravesend & Northfleet in 1998. Two seasons at Peterborough United was followed by a spell at Wigan Athletic where he scored ten goals in 145 league appearances, helping them to their first promotion to the Premier League. Bullard was known for being a passionate leader on the pitch and for his funny antics, playing football with a smile throughout his career. Paul Jewell described Bullard as the heart and soul of the dressing room.
A transfer to Fulham in 2006 resulted in six goals in 39 league appearances before Bullard moved to Hull City in 2009. A loan move to Ipswich Town commenced in 2011 where he scored on his debut. He later moved permanently to Ipswich and ended his career at Milton Keynes Dons. On 1 October 2012 Bullard retired from professional football, because problems with his knees meant he was unable to keep up the playing demands of up to two games a week.
