Back in the game

I haven't played for the last couple of years, but recently I've been feeling the bug again and fancy getting back into it. I'd want to take Southend back into the league and up through.

As I've been out the game, can anyone recommend tactics that will work, training schedules and their best tips on youth development? I'm not sure about taking the plunge and giving up my life again when I'd kicked the habit. So should I get back in, and what do I need to know how to get back?
