#221076 CL/EL Glich?
Ah yes, I forgot that the Europa League winner now gets a CL place. Good luck winning the EL with Vaduz though!
#221046 British Steel
Well that didn't go well....
I'm at a loss to explain why we were so shit during my embarrassingly short three month reign, time to move on and try to rebuild my reputation somewhere else. I think I will wait until May so I can start afresh with a club rather than have to jump right into another relegation battle.

I've had a disastrous start to my Tamworth career, instead of kick-starting them into play-off contention, I have caused a slide into relegation trouble and am in serious danger of lasting less than two months at the Lamb ground.
And rightly so, many of the supporters would of been sceptical when a completely unknown 27 year old without any qualifications or experience took over their club, now with just one win in eleven games they will feel they have been proved right in there assertions;
So what exactly is going wrong? funnily enough aside from the 5-0 mauling by Stalybridge the defence hasn't been that bad, it's a complete lack of creativity and inability to finish chances that have cost us, only nine goals have been scored so far in my reign, we simply have no quality up front and no wage budget to stretch in order to bring in a new striker, bit of a no win situation really.
Hopefully February brings about a miracle turnaround or else my time with Tamworth is going to be very short lived.
#220967 CL/EL Glich?
Yes. The only way Vaduz will ever get in the CL is if Liechtenstein founded a professional league of their own.
#220809 CL/EL Glich?
Vaduz can't qualify for Europe via the Swiss system. As you know the Liechtensteiner cup does carry a Europa League place, so thats their only way into continental competition.
#220794 Good LLM tactic?
I'm struggling with Tamworth, I've got them playing a bog-standard 4-4-2 at the moment with a rather traditional lower league approach, playing a high tempo long ball game where the defence stay back to avoid being caught on the counter.

Haha, no it's the Staffordshire knot. Stafford Rangers and Port Vale also have it on their badge. West Brom and Stoke have also had it on their older badges, although their current ones don't.
Apparently it dates back to Norman times, three criminals who were due to be hanged were arguing over who goes first so to speak, however the executioner saved them the trouble by devising the three way knot and doing all three at once. Not sure why that was chosen as the county's symbol but there you go!

#220676 British Steel
Tamworth Football Club is an English football club based in Tamworth, Staffordshire. The club participates in the Conference North, the sixth tier of English football following relegation from the Conference Premier 2013/14.
The club were formed in 1933 after the previous Tamworth club, Tamworth Castle, ceased to exist. They originally played at The Jolly Sailor Ground but after a year moved into The 4,195 capacity Lamb Ground.
Local rivals include Burton Albion and Nuneaton Town, and to a lesser degree Atherstone Town, Bedworth United and Bolehall Swifts. The team are currently managed by Andy Morrell, and the current club captain is Michael Townsend.
I take over The Lambs with the title favourites having stuttered from the beginning, far from pushing for an immediate return to the Conference Premier, the languish in 15th which saw fan favourite Andy Morrell dismissed.
The squad is decent, if unremarkable. I consider it certainly strong enough to be performing better than it is in the league, I will be supplying the kick up the backside they need to hopefully go on and reach the playoffs;

After finding several fairly major faults with the editor data on my French LLM save I've decided to start afresh and give the challenge I started four years ago another bash, I believe that only one person has ever completed the challenge (Gendo) The challenge is, on paper at least a simple one, win everything in Britain and Ireland;

The rules state that expansions, and edited database of any kind (aside from real name fix) are not allowed.

Bukinapreto: Indeed it will be.
My pre-season preparations are complete, or at least as good as they are going to get. I have been busy on the squad building front this summer as I trialled a host of players to fill in the gaps within the squad as I look to build a solid defensive unit capable of withstanding the relegation battle that the media has forecast for us this season.
I have thus far brought in five new faces;
Jean Proenca - A talented defender who was let go by Ligue 1 side Toulouse in the summer, a great capture for a club of our stature who adds some genuine quality to the back line.
Erwan Benbraham - I have long held a deep seated love for a good target man, I need somebody up front who can hold up the ball and bring others into the play, after a successful trial Auxerre trainee Erwan looks as if he is adept at doing just that as well as tucking in a few himself.
Sylvian Heckly - Hands up, Sylvian was not my first choice when it came to signing a forward, however I needed somebody who was willing to work for a crap wage which my other targets were not. still he is decent enough cover for the player below.
Jerome Dupouy - Trained at Saint-Etienne the striker looked sharp in pre-season, should get a few goals this season as he links up with Benbraham.
Anoh Attoukora - Signed as my left wingback, strong and pacy he should prove a handful going forward as well as being a reasonable defender.
Outward BoundThere have been two departures, both on free transfer as the players were on amature contracts which are not protected.
Results - Pre-season was solid if not spectacular, the stand out result was obviously the 7-2 win over Gernika in which we stretched the play and looked a constant danger going forward. The rest of the games were not quite so straightforward as we laboured to some credible results.
Formation - I've been tinkering with 5-3-2 so far, as I said previously I want to start off building from the back and gradually become more expansive as I learn my players strengths and weaknesses, which I feel is the best way when inheriting a squad full of players you are unfamiliar with.
My team instructions are also inherently conservative, the players should stick to their positions and maintain a disciplined approach which will hopefully make us difficult to beat.
Well, thats about it for this update, on to the real business as I embark on my first season with TPF, the first small step on the long road to glory.

Dan: Cheers Dan, yeah I hope so.
Shedender: Thanks mate.
BMG033: Not that I'm aware of.
Gendo: Thanks bud
DP91: Yeah, but it will keep me busy!
Tommo: Thanks mate!
I've finally decided on my first step on the long winding road to superstardom, I applied for seven or eight jobs in Brazil and France, however none of the Samba clubs seemed interested in a completely inexperienced Englishman who can't even speak Portugese. The French however seemed to want to bite my hand off when I offered as I received four interviews within a day, eventually I plumped for the club in the best financial shapes as they represent the best option for long term prosperity even if they are predicted to struggle this season.

My Contract
Whilst I have money to spend, I think it would be unwise to go splashing it at this stage, I want to keep the club on an even keel and not slip into debt which is all too easy to do at this level. I'm building for the long term remember. besides there are ample free agents who are of similar quality to those who I could buy for that price.
Club Info
I whipped up the kits on Photoshop this morning, the home one is true to life, although the away is fantasy as I struggled to find a good picture of the real one. Hopefully we can give those dedicated 25 season ticket holders their monies worth!
My Initial Sqaud
Pretty happy with it to be fair! Some back-up might need to be added but we have some good players, especially in defence so I will probably look to build from the back. This guy looks to be about the best;
Bertin Ze Ndill
CFA
For those who are unfamiliar with the French football system, the CFA is the fourth level of the pyramid, it contains four groups of 16, the winners of each group win promotion to the third tier. As you can see the media predicts that we will struggle this season, I'm aiming for a solid mid-table, keeping well clear of any relegation battle. That would be an ideal first season for me.
So I have a nice club in the beautiful Pyreneese, I can easily imagine us being a popular away day in Ligue 1 as giants like PSG, Monaco and Marseille visit the plucky mountain dwelling underdogs. Let's make it happen!
#217020 The Hero The World Has Been Waiting For
Welcome one and all to this, my first foray into FM15, and I've picked a biggie as my inaugural career;
The Challenge:
To unlock all six Steam Hero achievements in a single career, this is done by taking a team from the bottom division to the top in England, Scotland, Italy, France, Spain and Brazil. (you don't necessarily have to win the top division, however it seems a shame to have brought the club all the way up and not finish the job.)
My Set-Up:
As a bit of a masochist I have made my task even tougher by adding the French CFA and Brazilian Serie D as in my experience it is difficult to get jobs even in the lowest divisions that are available in the vanilla game.
Options Selected:
These are my normal settings, I will be starting unemployed, and to prevent any suspicions if I do well the ingame editor is disabled.
My Profile
I'm starting with a sunday league reputation with no coaching badges or additional languages. (I can speak some very remedial German however I wouldn't say I was fluent enough to add it to my profile)
Not sure where I'm going to start off, as you might expect with my editor data, almost all of the bottom division vacancies are in France and Brazil so theres a good chance I will be starting in one of those two beautiful countries. Of course it's important I pick the right club for me, we will hopefully be going on a long, rollercoaster ride together and I need to base my choice on more than just whether I like the badge and kit or not.

#215747 So why, exactly, can I not coach a North Korean team?
Claassen over on the SI board always makes a lot of leagues playable in a pack he releases each year. Doesn't look as if he has got round to North Korea yet but I'm sure he will eventually. LINK
#215401 FM 2015 Huge Database
Nothing, it just gives you the option to load more players than what selecting 'large' database does currently.
