Before I start the save, I would like to give a little back story on why I have chose to manage 'up north' in the Scottish leagues. Ever since 2002 (playing on LMA) I have managed in the Scottish leagues and much has changed since then. Being a Rangers fan I have done numerous saves with Rangers and have always managed to dominate the SPL but when they had their huge demise I decided to take a break from Scottish football but not before managing Dundee UTD on fm12 and winning the SPL in my first season! Since then I have floated around many nations on FM but decided to return to Scotland this year and had a great save with Rangers but the hunger to prove myself grew and now I want to dominate with a team I have never managed before - Hibs.

Diary Entry"So here I arrive at Easter Road with one goal in my mind - to dethrone Celtic and prevent Hearts and Rangers from returning to the great Scottish Premiership. Managing arguably the fourth biggest club in Scotland is going to be one tough task and I know the expectations will be high but I'm ready for a challenge and I know with my Scottish player bias and knowledge of the national I can surely pull it off!"

Pre Season Summary
Although being provided with a 120k transfer budget, I am focussing on the players I have currently and plan to make signings in January (if needed), I have pinpointed some players who I wish to build my team around and will spend the majority of the season developing these 'golden boys' so they are ready for the Premiership:

Jason Cummings
Young striker with bags of potentially, great finishing for age and excellent in the air which is sure to bag him many goals in the future! Will probably be used as a fringe player throughout the season but will be given many of chances to develop. (hate that stupid cut-out for him)

Jordon Forster
Another young Scottish player who is extremely talented in the air but is also a great defender with great potential. Will hopefully start as many as games possible this year working alongside with slightly more experienced centre back Liam Fontaine.

Scott Allan
The oldest member of the 'golden boys', still only 22 Scott Allan has played for several teams in his career but has never really completed a full season - but with bags of potential and great technical skills - Allan will play a major part in all creative aspects of the game.

Danny Handling
A young striker who has failed in make an impact with Hibs thus for but under my management I am sure that I can get the best out of this pacey and determined striker!

Alex Harris
Finally is a young player who I have not really come across before - a fast winger with good crossing ability, I am hoping to give this player many chances to prove to me that I can trust him and carry the Hibs forward!

Okay well I guess it's time to get the season under-way, I will try to update this story as much as possible keeping you informed with results, player development and hopefully team development. I welcome any opinions/criticism/suggestions on this thread and hope to show off some of Scotland's greatest talents and prove signings foreign players is not always necessary!

Fraser Aird joins Hibs
Canadian sensation and ex-Rangers lad Fraser Aird signs a 2 year contract with Edinburgh club Hibernian this afternoon - the deal is thought to be worth 145k and is part of the new look Hibs 'shake-up'. Newly hired manager Gaskin claims that the prospect of signing Aird was too good to turn down and will more than likely be the only signing of the transfer window for Hibs

Although it may seem that I am going against my ethos on signing Scottish players - I believe that there was no way I could of signed a player of Aird's quality at the price I did following this ethos. Aird is a way to an ends and will more than likely ensure promotion for us which will then enable us to interest some great home-grown players.
