Whilst Wales struggles to come to terms with the reveloution within their footballing ranks, the board at Wrexham have issued me with their targets for the coming season...
and I was fairly pleased with what was at my disposal.
Sixty thousand pounds in the transfer budget is more then enough for a Blue Square Premier side and with three grand to play with in the wages, I cant complain about not having the backing of the board for my ambitious plans, however a qucik glance at the squad shows that these budgets will certainly come in handy with my remodelling of the team...
Not one Welsh player in the first team. Disgraceful.
With just sixteen first team players in the squad, I doubt I will be radically over hauling this squad anytime soon but my gradual Welshification of this team will be starting immediatley and with the board pushing for promotion already, in my debut season at the club, I will definatley be hoping to get some of the best lower league Welsh talent available to steer us to a dream start.

Some of you might have heard of the San Marino challenge, it involves managing both the San Marino national team and San Marino Calcio who play in Lega Pro Prima Divisione in the Italian Leagues and taking them both to magnificent glory. Its no small feat and one that I could quite comfortably say was well beyond me.
However it did give me the inspiration for my own personal challenge. One for the homesick, less ambitious and quite frankly not that good at the game.
I will be managing both Wrexham and Wales.
Despite being a proudly Welsh town, Wrexham turned down an invitation to the Welsh Football Leagues and opted instead to remain in the English football league, however their bold decision has hardly seen them light up the English game, with the club sitting firmly in the Blue Square Premier League and a world away from their fellow Welsh sides, Cardiff and Swansea in the top divisions.
Their undoubted success however has come at a cost to their national identity. Swansea have featured just three Welsh players so far this season and Cardiff City representing the capital of the country, shockingly have just one Welsh player in their first team, in the shape of iconic striker, Craig Bellamy.
This is where me and Wrexham come in. My goal is to try and take this small club at the bottom of the footballing ladder to the Premier League using a side made entirley (or atleast as close as I can get) of Welsh players. Hopefully as we rise up the table this should also help me develop the national side, as I strive to return the Red Dragons to former glory.
In short with this career I hope to have either restored a slight bit of pride in Welsh football, or go out in a blaze of glory, having completley hammered the final nail into their footballing coffin...

Cheers Dan, I'm not a big fan of sequels so I figure a new challenge is needed!
Thanks BOWC, I appreciate it, sorry I never got round to finishing it.
So like any true start to a Pentagon career I applied for every job going and hoped for the best.
Within just one day of job searching my inbox was quickly filled with six potential job offers.
Not wishing to push my luck I opted to accept one of them there and then and jump head first into this challenge and of course there was only one way to efficently chose which team to manage...which one had the most kick ass name.
If I'm honest, I have absolutley no knowledge of Southern Korean football, the names confuse the hell out of me and I already regret chosing a team based on the fact they have the word "Power" in their name but regardless of these minor issues, I think with a little bit of work and my faithful 4-1-2-1-2 formation, I will soon be out of this league on on to bigger and more sensible countries, one things for sure though I won't be doing it through some transfer market wizardry.
So theres no money but to be quite honest I'm not sure I need to change anything, as despite the fact they've not had a manager for three months, have only sixteen players and have never played in the top flight since 1945, they some how find themselves at the top end of the table and comfortably in the all important playoff spots.
Time for me to come in and put an end to that.
The club has just come out of the end of the mid season break so I have just thirteen games to make sure Daejon Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power...FC, dont slip out of the top six.
Challenge Accepted!

For those that dont know, heres a brief over view of what it entails...
I will be starting unemployed with Sunday league reputation, with the eventual goal to win the European, African, Asian, CONCACAF Champions League and Copa Libertadores trophies, which I will be attempting to do from the following countries...
I might be unfashionably late to jump on the band wagon but following Laudrups epic career last year and a host of other inspiring attempts, I can't sit back and admire any longer.
With only one day off a week and a serious case of poor time management, I cant promise this will be the most updated of careers, or even the most entertaining but if you stick with me, I'll hopefully have won one trophy before you all realise how bad I am at this management lark.
So before I self pitty myself into not even loading the game, I will get this thing started....
