OK, It's time!
The creator joins the fray, I can't possibly do any worse than my Villa/Coventry save where I wound up getting sacked twice within a year so here's to more successful venture this time around.

I'm sure you all know the objective of the challenge by now, But for the benefit of any newcomers to the board here's a quick overview;

- You must win all the playable trophies within the UK and Ireland, beginning with a Sunday League rep.
- You must use only British and Irish players.

In a nut shell that is it, here's the list of winnable competitions...

England
Fa Trophy, Blue Square North/South, Blue Square Premiership, Johnson's Paint trophy, nPower League Two, nPower League One, nPower Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership

Scotland
Challenge Cup, Division 3, Division 2, Division 1, League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League

Ireland
Munster Senior cup, Division 1, League cup, Senior Challenge Cup, Premiership

Northern Ireland
Mid-Ulster Cup, Steel & Son's cup, Interim cup, County Antrim Shield, Division two, First division, League Cup, FA cup, Setanta Cup, Premiership

Wales

Just for proof I am adheering to all the rules here's the screenies of my set-up...

I have loaded all players from the British and Irish isles and selected to start in June to give me maximum time to make any changes to my squad.

One handsome devil with a Sunday league rep.

I begin unemployed, On the first day there are two eligible jobs vacant...

I'm not that keen on managing in Ireland so I'll put that off for now and have applied for the Havant job, If I don't get that I'll just wait for something ese to come up.

Time to get to work then!

Chester's season in the Conference North is floundering as many peoples early tip for the title find themselves marooned in the lower half of the table...

Their underachieving may be down to what I consider a weak squad for a title chasing club...

As you can see they are all British so I don't need to offload anyone immediately but this squad does need plenty of work if we are to go up this year.

And here's a quick snap shot of the club as a whole...
