Quick Guide
- Holiday until 25th December.
- Create new manager and try to save whoever is bottom of the league from relegation.
- Stay until board sack me or season ends (whichever one comes first).
- Repeat process every season.
I will be playing in the FM Touch mode and I will mainly focus on saving Premier League teams. I may venture into the lower leagues at some point if I feel like it though.
This opening post will be used just to keep a record of all my attempts.
Challenge History
2015-16: Bournemouth - 19th - 1 point from safety.

So here he is everybody, meet the future Bournemouth hero Jimmy Dingleberry!
And the club he shall be managing...
Looks like i've been handed a decent start as Bournemouth are just 1 point away from safety despite being bottom of the league.
Squad is suffering from injury, so i'll have to adress one or two areas in January if I can.
Life on the south coast will get off to a hard start with an away game at Arsenal. I'd take a draw now but a defeat wouldn't be too damaging after seeing how near we are to 17th place.
This should be fun!

Bournemouth don't have much money, so I decided to go to the free agent and loan markets. Riise was signed on a free from India after his contract expired on January 1st, but will mainly be a backup. Mutch wasn't getting much game time at Palace so I went in with a loan bid and got him. Last signing was Amalfitano who was a free agent.
Kermorgant was the only player leaving permanently in January. He was on £17k per week and was the fourth choice striker so I got him out as soon as possible.
This was our full first team squad after the transfer window closed.
Now onto the results. It couldn't have got off to a much worse start after we picked up just two points from my first eight league games. I couldn't care less about the cups so those defeats didn't matter much. So going into the West Brom game at the end of February things were looking pretty grim. Bottom of the league, abysmal form and a squad destroyed by injuries. Despite all those things, we beat West Brom to claim our first win since I took over. Three consecutive losses followed that and I thought relegation was just around the corner. Then, when least expected, we picked up two wins on the bounce for the first time this season. A draw against Watford and a loss against Chelsea dented our chances a bit but then possibly the shock result of the season happened at the Etihad. We went and won 1-0 against top of the league Man City and followed that up with four points from Liverpool and Aston Villa. That late burst of form left us with a chance of avoiding the drop, but sitting in 18th, that would mean we would have to beat Arsenal to stay up. We gave them a good game, but sadly for us they were too good. A 2-3 defeat sealed our fate and sent Bournemouth back into the Championship.
Confirmation of the Cherries relegation...
I got sacked straight after the game so that means the end of the road for Cuban pensioner Jimmy Dingleberry.
