Not Your Usual League

This is what my owner expects me to achieve:

..and here's the squad that will help me to do that:

There aren't enough players as back up. I need more players, but the wage budget available will buy me two decent players at best. Do I sell? Any ideas?

This is what my squad looks like before my first match:

My biggest capture is M. Gilpin, but I won't be playing him at all, because he costs me 1/2 of my available wage per appearance. I didn't expect him to sign for me, actually.

My friendlies weren't too bad. Won all of them against similar opposition, expect two - a loss and a draw.

This is what we were waiting for.
Salford City Vs Trafford (W) 2-1

I've played a lot of games since my last update, so I'm not going to post every match I've played. Instead, I'll just tell you how I'm doing.

English Northern Premier League Division One North

Just a reminder that the board expected me to avoid relegation

My FA Cup Journey
My board wanted me to enjoy and learn from the experience of playing in the Cup. I guess that means they expect me to lose in the very first qualification round.

- Second Qualification Round
After beating Whitby Town from Northern Premier League Premier Division (The Upper Division), I was given the difficult task of competing against Blue Square Bet North side Droylsden.

..and if that wasn't enough, I got Blue Square Bet Premier side Mansfield for the 4th Qualification round.

The newspapers advised Salford to not show up, but we went.

The replay was 3 days later at Moor Lane, and yet again, the newspapers told the fans to expect nothing. It was our largest attendance to date - a massive 1000 fans showed up and we didn't disappoint.

Yes, we lost, but we gained the respect of everyone in that stadium.

I'm using the Fahrenheit skin. You want me to send over a link?
Actually, I haven't been able to use Gilpin too much because of his appearance fee, but he has been class whenever called up.

Here you go. http://www.fm-base.co.uk /forum/skins-all-other-graphics/86739-fahrenheit-skin-fm12.html
(Just take away the space after 'uk'. I couldn't post with it)

thanks mate, could you tell me whats the folder to put the skin in?

Make a 'skins' folder (if you already don't have one). Then go to your in-game "Preferences", choose the Fahrenheit skin and tick 'Always Reload Skin'. Let me know if it fails to load.

appreciated mate, it runs
