Local talent to national hero

My conquest of England

I will be starting as the club closest to my house in the Vanarama south and will make all my career decisions based on what I would do in real life looking for houses etc.

My challenge is to go from managing a local side to being one of the best managers in England by winning every trophy available at club level and eventually international level.
To make this a little easier I will be counting automatic promotion and winning playoffs as a trophy.

What I need to win Vanarama north/south, Vanarama National League, League 2, League 1, Championship, Premiership, FA Trophy, EFL Trophy, League cup, FA Cup, Community shield, Champions League, Europa League, European Championships, World Cup

The rules I will be using is:

•Start with no coaching badges
•Start with Sunday league experience
•Only allowed to use English players
•Only sign players recommended by scouts do not use the search bar
•Only sign staff by advertising through job centre
•All decisions regarding my career based on what I would do in real life

Hampton & Richmond borough is an English football club based in the suburb of Hampton, in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames. They were founded in 1921 and formerly known as Hampton F.C until 1999 when they changed their name in an attempt to draw a wider support base from around the borough. They currently compete in the Vanarama national league south, the sixth tier of English football.
Hampton & Richmond Borough remains the only senior-level football club to represent the borough of Richmond upon Thames, but arguably struggles in attendance due to the popularity of rugby union in the borough. The club has a core support base of around 300 to 400 people. Their nickname is 'The Beavers'
They play their home games at The Beveree stadium


My Manager for this challenge

My Starting finances aren't great so this will add to the challenge

The Media prediction for the club is to finish 17th but I am confident in my ability to do better than that

My squad is lacking some depth so will definitely be needing some good scouts to bring in some players, As you can see Sam Gallagher, Kieran Murphy & Michael Kamara will have to leave the club asap as they do not fit in with my English players only policy

My backroom team isn't the greatest and I will be bringing in some fresh faces to help me achieve my goals this season

My first month was literally spent negotiating contracts and looking at scout reports.

I released Gallagher and Kamara due to them not being English and also released Seb Brown due to not needing him as a coach and I felt he weren't good enough to be a part of my team

After discussions with my backroom team I felt it was time to terminate these contracts

After going through job centre applications I reinforced my backroom team and had an added bonus of some with international experience joining us

My scouts and coaching team were under alot of pressure searching for and assessing players on trial and then I had the process of negotiating contracts

I then went through the process of making sure all 3 squads were ready for the season.

My first team squad

Reserve team

And finally my under 18s

I will be reviewing the reserve and under18 performances throughout the season and calling players up when I see fit to do so.



We only played 3 friendlies in July so I'm a bit concerned for match sharpness at start of the season
