Cherno Samba, To Madeira, Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour and all the rest. As well as breezing through the seasons in 2 or 3 sessions.
I decided to start at Hartlepool. My logic is I want the game to be fresh - so why not start at the bottom rung and see where it takes me? Hartlepool were selected as they are the only North-East team* Completely forgetting Darlington. Yes Darlington were once a football club that existed. 15 years is truly a long time in sport.

In the summer my first two signing were on free's Andy Williams as he's versatile and can play on the wings and full back - Billy McKinlay as he's absolutely miles better than anyone else.
After a few months I realised I needed more - Paul Dalglish was my big statement - brought in after I realised there wasn't enough goals in this side.
Andrew Cameron is just a young winger - as I basically had no wingers.
David Morley and Ryan Green were brought in as I'd initially assumed my defence was good - but it turned out to be dreadful. Ryan Green isn't on the screenshot as loans are on a different screen to permanent transfers - how quaint.
And finally Terry Cooke apparently one of the class of '92 who Man City once paid a £1m for. One of my stranger signings as he is a AMR and I'd settled into a 3-5-2 at this point so he was used as cover for RWB and AMC - he was OK in either - but a lot of money for a Division 3 sub.
And leaving the club are;
Paul Stephenson - A young hopeless striker who has since retired - no idea why Bury gave me £60k for him
Tony Williams - My first choice GK - £425k was a lot of money for a guy where I actually had decent back up for - thought it would be worth trading him in to fund the purchases of outfield players.
Mark Robinson - young hopeless full back - who's contract was up at the end of the season.
Thomas Tennebo - A midfield who's deals was also up at the end of the season - sold out of spite - would have been more useful to have him than the £3k but still I'm a spiteful Championship Manager.
