I will follow two of the rules to the letter:

I've started as Patrick Thistle, who are predicted to finish 5th, they have a small but good, young squad. With a few additions they could become a very good squad for this level.
Here's a view of what the squad looks like on the first day of the job.
Strengths
We have a large midfield filled with quality players, hopefully this group can dominate the physical side to Scottish football. We also have some good options up front to compliment this. The clubs finances are all in order and are working on a tight wage budget.
Weaknesses
We have no transfer budget and could do with strengthening at the back. I will have to look into the loan and free transfer market for a solution to this.
SR67
Cheers mate. They look like a decent side!

First to be shown the Fergie treatment was young right back Steven O'Donnell who thinks it's time to move on. He has requested a transfer and been placed on the transfer list, however nobody's interested in him.
We played a few pre-season matches and preformed pretty well, this also gave me chance to mess about with tactics.
The highlight of pre-season was the draw SPL side Ross County, we fought back after going behind twice to seal a good result. The Cumnock result was disappointing as it would have been good going into the first competitive fixture.
Two players have joined the club to give the defence a boost.
First in was Scott Morrison to give us an extremely good choice at left back, between him and Aaron Sinclair. He joined on a free transfer and has the option of an extra year, if he reaches 20 games.
I brought in another right back to offer me an option if I lose O'Donnell. The club are paying half of Mark Bradley who has joined from Rotherham until the end of the season.
SR67
I also added two more defenders to the squad before the end of the transfer window.
Bradley Donaldson joined to booster our defence and offer us an extra option at both centre and right back. He looks like a no nonsense defender who can win a ball an clear it.
Scott Rumsby also joins on loan until the end of the season, another central defender to thicken up our back line.
I tried to flog Stephen O'Donnell despite his potential, however I received no offers and he has been placed in the reserves until he apologises or his contract runs out.
We have another youngster getting too big for his boots and has been placed on the transfer list. Aaron Sinclair will remain in the first team unless he acts up like O'Donnell.

I made two signings and found a nice little loop-hole that allows us to play trialists for up to 3 matches which could come in handy when our squad is knackered. We missed Kris Doolan this month who was ruled out for 2 months injured.
Derek Riordan joined until the end of the season with an extra year if he plays 15 matches. He has a bad reputation in the world of Scottish football, but hopefully I can get him in line for his final few year. He made an instant impact scoring a brace on his debut.
Another former Celt, Jean-Joel Perrier-Doumbe, joins the cub until the end of the season also with the view to an extra year. He will replace the departing Stephen O'Donnell, who sits in our reserves for misconduct, and is joining Plymouth for £12k. It's not much but it will free up £200 wages and we have a 20% sell on fee for a player who would leave for nothing in the summer.
Maceo Rigters gives us a new dynamic to our attack. The Dutchman put us over our wage budget, hopefully we can shift some deadwood in January.

Cheers, over half the squad are out of contract in the summer. I cant afford to tie all of them down so I'm in for a tough year next year.
SR67
I noticed that our balance had been dropping dramatically so I had to ship out a few players. I also brought in two new players as replacements at no cost for the club.
A product of Celtic youth academy, Mark Fotheringham joins until the end of the season with Ross County footing his wage bill.
Aberdeen youngster Clark Robertson fills the void left by the wantaway Aaron Sinclair. Again like Fotheringham his wages are paid by his parent club.
January Results

Do you plan to resign at the end of the season, regardless?
SR67
Cheers! If there's a job suitable available will resign. When I choose Patrick Thistle, I completely forgot about the first part of the challenge. If I don't get promotion I hope to take over the relegated SPL side and if I win the league, I'll move on to the next stage.
Charlie M
Yeah I had the first part of the challenge in mind when I chose Airdrie. Wanted a side that has little or no chance of promotion and hopefully finish high enough in the league but not get promoted. 2nd would be ideal!
SR67
I know mate pain in the arse. Hopefully the mods can delete it.
