Keith Curle has left Notts County because of a supposed affair with Notts County star player Alan Judge. Chairman and owner Ray Trew fired the manager in order that his star Alan Judge be happy. Though, it remains that an Npower League 1 manager will take his chances and appoint a new manager today. Sources inside the Notts County camp have said that the new manager is a Dutch manager. Finally, Ray Trew has been scheduled to have a closed press conference with his new manager, himself and 3 reporters. ESPN, Sky Sports and The Daily Mail are reported to be the reporters. Nick Johnson, reporting for The Daily Mirror. Stay classy Dublin!
Nice start Jeremy, I'm looking forward to this story
Good luck mate, will be following!
My original story was going to be with Notts County and i've got a save in my 4th season with them in the Championship so be interesting to see what u do compared to what i did
The Sun Special Interview
Today: an interview with Michael de la Parra, former footballer for small league teams in Holland, and someone with a growing reputation as advicer for multiple teams in both Holland and England. Already linked to the job at Notts County, together with Louis van Gaal, Marco van Basten and Dick Advocaat, we are gonna ask some questions.
Or Dabool:
So Michael, first of all, let's go past the bullshit, and go to the main focal point. I'm Gonna be as straightforward as Oprah to Lance Armstrong: Are you, or aren't you interested in the Notts County managerial position? You are one of the leading candidates, and the readers wants an answer.
Michael de la Parra:
You also a good day Or. Am I interested, I don't know. It's is a desireable position, and it sure would be one to consider if I get the oppurtunity. But I can't tell you anything at this moment.
Or Dabool:
So you are willing to take the step from an advicer on freelance basis, to become the main trainer at Notts County?
Michael de la Parra:
Yes I sure am. Notts County is a team that deserves to have more prices than Manchester City, and with a huge amount of work they can archieve it, as long as they have a dedicated. Is that me? We shall see.
After the short meeting, Michael went on, as he got a contact from Bayern Munchen, over who to appoint for the new headcoach.
NEW MANAGER ANNOUNCED: SHOCK GOES THROUGH MANAGERIAL WORLD
Notts County have announced their new manager. The Club already told the media that they would search in Holland for a new manager, and it was widely expected that Bert van Marwijk, former Coach of Holland during the horrendous European Championship, would sign for the job.
As a shockresult chairman Ray trew announced that advicer Michael de la Parra is hired for the new job, and that the board has complete trust in his abilities to make KuPS, Leeds and Liverpool look like naughty boys in a class full of Giants.
A press meeting with the new coach will be made shortly, so that the coach can introduce his plans himself.
A chat with owner and chairman Ray Trew and new Notts County manager Michael de la Parra
RT: Ray Trew
MdlP: Michael de la Parra
RT: Hi Michael, welcome to the Magpies. I'd like to have a few minutes of your time to welcome you to the club before handing you over to your assistant manager, who is going to discuss team policy with you. I would also want to assure you that on behalf of the board, you have the full backing of it.
MdlP: Great, let's get this meeting started. I'm really looking forward to give the club a real taste of success! I also appreciate you taking time of your busy schedule to welcome me in person!
RT: Notts Couunty are a team with a lot history. The fans really appreciate it when a newly-appointed manager has taken their time to learn something from the club. I know that you are familiar with the history of the club, but if you'd like I could send you a more detailed version.
MdlP: No, it's okay. I researched the club's history before taking the job.
RT: To be honest, last season was a one of the best as we were promoted to the Npower League 1. We do expect that you at least finish a top-half finish. We are willing to give you 5 thousand pounds and 4 thousand pounds of wage budget. Are we on the same page of expectations?
MdlP: Of course Ray. Those are the ones I was personally aiming for.
RT: Again, welcome to the Magpies. I hope for the sake of my club and your job that you have a succesful career
MdlP: Thanks Ray!
Who is this Michael de la Parra you speak of? ;P
Press Meeting: Meet the manager
MdlP = Michael de la Parra
RT = Ray Trew
PO = Press Officer

Hey Trew and Michael, fine to have you here. So let's get started: Ray, why Michael, and not, as example, my gay Collegue Nick Johnson?
RT = Ray Trew
I shall tell you: Michael has the skill, the knowledge, and the determination. He has shown a great ability, and we needed one to take us to the next step. We'd like to be better than Manchester City, so we need to grow a little
PO
And Michael, How is it for you as a new manager?
MdlP
Yeah, it really couldn't have been better. I knew I was in high regard by Trew and Crew, and I will try to pay their confidence in me back.
PO
What are your aims for this season?
MdlP
This season I'd like to archieve a mid table finish, so we can put in a solid foundation for next season. Building is the mantra, and we will try doing it as cheap as possible.
PO
Last Question, how long will you stay?
MdlP
At least that long that you are a grandpa when I resign.
I approached my assistant manager, Colin West and asked him to organize a backroom staff meeting a team meeting, and a team report. I anxiously wanted to talk to the players. In the backroom staff, I was informed that most of the player's contract were going to expire this season, so I wanted to renew all the needed players and then make some signings. Though, I need better players for us to be promoted to the Championship. I was informed as well that we were short of staff. I would to take a look after the three meetings, so I headed to the team report from my assistant manager Colin West. Pics below from the team report and the team meeting.

Pre Season Results: This is perhaps one of the average pre-seasons I've had. Though draws against Bristol City and Huddersfield are admirable. I didn't lose which is a positive. Though, we only beat 1 team and drew the other 4 matches. Pics below. I drew Oldham Athletic in the Capital One Cup.

Hello guys. This might be one of the most shittiest moments of my FM career. Both my saves, Notts and Blackpool which I was making a story of are corrupted. Because of this happening, this story ends. I was forward to take Notts County to the PL. :'(
