I fancy a hard challenge and I got one! As stated here, I am going to try and win every trophy available in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland. Its the first time i've ever attempted this challenge, so I shall look forward to the journey ahead!
The Manager
I have based my manager around myself and made him as realistic as possible. I know random bits of German and Italian, but not enough for me to class them as an additional language.
As the rules state, I have started with no coaching qualifications and a sunday league reputation. That has left me with these attributes.
I forgot to screenshot the details on the game when I was setting it up. If you did the same, don't worry. Just click on the FM button at the top and then go on "Game Status" so you can find this:
I will leave a table of trophies won here to make it easy to see what i've won (eventually). Photos/links to proof will also be included when the table gets updated.

Wexford Youths - 21/1/2014 - Present day

The rules state I can start unemployed or begin at a club. I have chosen the latter and went to Ireland for my first attempt.
I chose Wexford Youths because they were the only team in the Irish 2nd tier I hadn't heard of before. It really was that simple.
I would update you on the clubs history, but it literally has none. The only thing worth noting is that they came runner up to Derry CIty in the EA Sports Cup back in 2008. Hopefully when I come to leave, they'll have a few more trophies in the cabinet!
We have a decent squad with a lot of good young players. This is helpful as the board have already told me that they want to see young players coming through and breaking into the first team. I have to say that managing a team with "Youths" in its name is already confusing me. I keep thinking i'm looking at the youth team when i'm actually looking at the first team.
But without a doubt, this guy is our best player. Apparently he is already considered to be an icon at the club, despite being only 24 years old. Will need him to be at his best this season to help give me a good start to this challenge.

Good luck to you!

I wanted a hard task, so this was perfect. I will make 51 seasons my target and see if I can beat it!
Thanks!

1st Signing
We were in desperate need of an attacking midfielder. Luckily I found this guy on the free agents list and snapped him up straight away. His best position is MC, but I plan on playing him at AMC.
His name is Ryan Coombes by the way, I just noticed that I missed his name out of the screenshot.

Thanks!
I've been busy last few days, hoping to get some of this done this week!

Thanks! Just had a look at yours, didn't realise I wasn't the only one attempting this. I thought England would be a tricky place to start, which is why I went for Ireland. The difference in quality between the bottom and top teams isn't too big, so I thought i'd get going here and tick ROI and NI off as quickly as possible. Gendo took 51 seasons to complete this, so that is my target to beat!

The media don't rate our chances very well. If our friendly results are anything to go by, then i'm sure we wont end up 7th!

Friendly Results
I thought i'd test our squad out against top tier oppostion. We did well in all 4 games, giving Cork, Shamrock, Drogheda and Limerick good games and seemed to match them stride for stride. We can be pleased that none of them were able to keep a clean sheet against us. The last friendly was just a game to test things and boost morale a bit. Our first competitive game of the season is at home to Premier Division side Limerick in the EA Sports Cup 1st round.

My first competitive game in this challenge was against Limerick in the EA Sports Cup. Before the game, Limericks manager said that it would be an easy victory for his team. Lets just say I said something along the lines of "Don't be silly old chap" and leave it at that!
We had a great start to the game and we were rewarded for that when Gary Delaney put us 1-0 up in the first quarter of an hour. But then it all went wrong when Wall got a straight red after 29 minutes. As expected, Limerick got back into the game just before half time. They then took the lead in the second half and it looked like they were going to hold on for a 2-1 win until Nolan popped up with a late goal to send the game into extra time. Unfortunatly being a man down meant that our players were quite tired and Limerick went 3-2 up. Another red card for us in the 109th minute pretty much ended the game. Overall, it was a good display, despite 2 red cards.

I really dont see how they came to that conclusion. This squad certainly isn't the 7th best in the league, but we shall see who is correct as the season is now getting underway!

Start of The Season
As reported previously, we did unfortunatly lose my first game in charge. But since then, everything has been going along nicely. A few performances weren't too great, like the draw with Shamtock B after being 2-0 up, but overall we can be happy with only 1 league defeat so far. I wonder what the media think now?
We actually sit top of the league!
Other News
After the 3-3 draw with Waterford, I wasn't too pleased with the referee. I was asked about his performance in the game and....well just check out the red boxes!

The board offered me a new deal, and I instantly accepted it. Nice easy negotiations.
Shedender
You're in Ireland (same goes for Northern Ireland as well), it's not criticising, it's just friendly banter.
bmg033
EDIT: Or I might just buy a new one from the black friday sales.
EDIT 2: System restore failed. Going to try and restore the thing back to factory settings. If I encounter problems there, then i'm pretty much screwed to be honest

I look forward to seeing you get back into this with another story!

EDIT: Wow it managed to recover 1.86gb of stuff to backup and my memory stick has 1.88gb free space. Lucky.

The bad news: I don't think my FM saves got rescued
Installing anti virus software now and will then set everything up, again. Would be good if I can get my British Steel Challenge restarted this week, maybe tonight or tomorrow depending on how everything goes.
