British Steel
Hello everyone and welcome to my attempt at the British Steel challenge, this has been attempted by many over the years, to my knowledge only two have actually completed it, one over on the SI forum and our very own Gendo a couple of years ago.
The premise of the challenge is simple, at least in theory, starting off unemployed and with a Sunday league reputation I must win every league and cup that is playable in the default database within the British isles and the Republic of Ireland whilst using only British and Irish players.
Fa Trophy, Vanarama North/South, Vanarama Premiership, Johnson's Paint trophy, nPower League Two, nPower League One, nPower Championship, League Cup, Community Shield, FA Cup, Premiership
Challenge Cup, League Two, League One, Championship, League Cup, Scottish Cup, Premiership
Munster Senior cup, Division 1, League cup, Senior Challenge Cup, Premiership
Mid-Ulster Cup, Steel & Son's cup, Interim cup, County Antrim Shield, Division two, First division, League Cup, FA cup, Setanta Cup, Premiership
League Cup, FAW cup, Premiership
It's a hell of a challenge, I don't get a great deal of time to play FM nowadays as I work full time and have my wife and one month old daughter to look after when I get home so my progress will be slow, but I intend to stick with it and hopefully complete the challenge in time for FM16 in October/November time.

As you will have no doubt deduced from the title and previous post, I am taking my first steps into management with Conference North side Boston United. The Pilgrims rose quickly in the early 00's from the Southern Premier League all the way to Division Three with three consecutive promotions. Their stay in the Football league lasted five years before they sank right back to where they started in the Southern Premiership in the blink of an eye, a result of the club chairman having to agree to a league demotion to save the club to bankruptcy after relegation in 2007.
After a season of struggle in 2007/08 the club won promotion to the Northern Conference where they have remained ever since. My mission will be to help the Pilgrims to regain their League status.
I take up the reigns at the Jakeman's stadium from Dennis Greene who was sacked after eighteen months in charge due to the club's horrific start to 2014/15;
Just one win in eleven games obviously isn't good enough for any team, especially one that is expected to finish comfortably mid-table if not higher. I'm confident of avoiding the drop this season and climbing the table. That is the extent of my aspirations for this season and I shall look to build a squad of my own design for 2015/16 to push for promotion with.
The squad is fraught with injuries which may well explain why the club's poor league position, I'll have to manage training carefully in order to get player back to fitness and avoid adding to the physio's problems.
