With the sudden departure of David Moyes from Everton after an alleged falling out with the board Jim Hammond was shocked to find a letter in the post. It was asking for him to come in for an interview. Jim had only had non-leauge managerial roles and he had only been assistant manager of Bury for 6 months. He thought it was a joke, but he soon found out it wasn't.

Jim Hammond took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Bill Kenwright's office door. He was hit with a surprise, there were many people in the room. They were the Everton Board members, Jim was startled.

"Ah James! I am very happy to meet you, do please take a seat." said the chairman, Bill Kenwright. "Now, I am sure you are very excited to be here, and so are we. You are one of the picks of young coaches out there, and we know of your successes. Leading St. Albans to the Evo-Stik Southern title by winning every match was certainly impressive."

"Aha yes... St. Albans were a great team," Jim nervously spat out.

"Yes, now if you don't mind, we will ask you a few questions."

"Ok, cool."

"Great, now, why should we hire you even though you have no managerial experience at a high level?"

"Well, Mr Kenwright, I would like to say that not everything comes with experience. Just look at people like Mark Hughes, he has experience, but yet my 3 year old son would make a better manager. I have what you need, I have proven I know my way around tactics, with St. Albans."

"Ok thank you James, we have run out of time.We'll be in touch."

"Thanks."

Jim made his way out of the office with a million things buzzing in his head. Did he sound confident? Was his reason good? He was bricking it, and he had finished the interview!



Well there you go! My first post on my new story, hopefully this will go well! I plan to run this story out like my Arsenal one on fm12, but with more focus on the story, and the matches set out better.

Hopefully you guys will enjoy it!

Jim Hammond was doing what he did pretty much every Saturday, watching the quality show that is Soccer A.M. Tubes was being his hilarious self.

Just as the highlight of the show was coming on (Frankie's Away days) Jim's phone started to ring. He was tempted to just leave it but he forced himself to get up and answer it.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello James, this is Bill Kenwright, I have some news you may be interested to hear. The board have made our decision. We are going to give you a go. However we will only be offering you a one year contract to start, so you need to prove you deserve to be the manager in the long run."

"Oh my god! Thank you so much Bill. I will give all my effort on this! When do you want me in?

"8:00am on Monday at the training ground please James, I look forward to seeing you."

Jim couldn't believe his luck, he had finally met his aspirations of becoming a football manager in the Best League in the world. Well, he had at least for a while.

And so, the Legend that is Jim Hammond got his big break.
