Decided I would take on a massive challenge and bring a club all the way from the bottom to the top of English Football (at least the leagues that come standard with the game) So, my club of choice was Oxford City. Went through preseason with them already and have almost gone through September. Below are a few screenshots of the progress so far. Stay tuned for future updates as I continue our quest to make it to the top!

imgur.com is my go-to imaging uploading site. And yeah, I just ALT+F9 to screenshot to the Sports Interactive images folder, then edit in paint. Can be tedious at times but it doesn't take long at all really to upload.

Can't help you about your careers page, I'm afraid

Thanks! If anyone else has any suggestions go ahead and throw them my way!

Hey everyone! I love reading through the careers on the forums and seeing other peoples success and failure. I have a few questions for those of you who write out these careers and for those who also do the seasons. First off, what are you guys doing to get the screenshots that you post in your careers? Are you just using the in game screenshot function and then uploading the images and editing them? Or doing something else? I the first one is true, which site do you recommend to upload these screenshots to? Second question, is there away to delete careers that I no longer want to have around? I have started a few in the past and never kept up with them, I don't want them littering my careers page if they no longer have to be there. Thanks for the help all!

The Portland Timbers play in MLS, the top level of soccer in the United States. They were founded in 1975 when they were a part of the old North American Soccer League (NASL). They play their home games at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon in front of their supporters group, the Timbers Army. My fream of managing this club has come true and I hope to lead this team straight to the top of MLS! Goals include winning the supporters shield (1st overall in regular season), winning MLS Cup (winning the playoffs), and reaching the CONCACAF Champions League and one day winning that as well.

TRANSFERS:
Not much to speak of here, I got rid of a few players, didnt bring any in so far.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Mu8l5HovSbiJLASfbDBovZ6DJdJwQwxIVjxdoEZZ.png

Pre-season:
We played some pretty good opposition and some lower teams, overall had a very successful pre-season that I feel has gotten us ready for the MLS season!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rYQaQYoGQ67TECtMs0LJw2MAlKcebH17cC19ajQu.png

I will definitely continue the updates as the season moves along!

Hey everyone, just a quick update. I will no longer be working on this save as its just not going my way and I cant stand losing simple game like I have been. So this play through has been cancelled. I hope to start another save at some point on this challenge though because I like the challenge and think it is a lot of fun, it just wont be with this save. Thanks for the support in this short time though!

Alright, so the season has ended and its been unfortunately dissapointing. We ended the season horribly and ended up finishing in 6th place. Below you will see the ending table and all the games I was in charge of, which will clearly show why we ended where we did. The squad just wasnt up to the challenge I guess and fell apart at the worst time possible.

I am definitely looking forward to next season though. I've been givien a year long extension to my contract and we hope to come back stronger next year.

August was a horrible month for us! So glad it is finally over. As we head into the final month of the seaosn we are currently sitting 4th place, right below a playoff spot. Mathmatically we can only finish 3rd through 7th at this point in the league. So my only hope of getting out of this league and securing my first trophy for the challenge would be to finish third which is definitely still possible and then win the playoff. Anyways, here is the fixtures for the month and the current table.

Things have really fallen apart for us, we have lost 5 in a row and now sit 5th in the table..something seems to be off with the squad, they just arent performing and it looks as though we will be in this league for at least another season.

That definitely wasnt the way I wanted to start my career with this team. At least now we can put all of our efforts into the league.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wPhCuL5DZgu7NEDRm2Oe8O4vxQOZr6Ws7bQqEAER.jpg

We begin our career in June of 2012, starting in Wales, awaiting to hear from a team in my hotel room.

We finally get the call from Athlone Town who play in the Airtricity First Division in Ireland! I am excited to finally get underway!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/DJTmA3CGGcONkVGN3rfP00d8HpJVolwEzPuoqUua.jpg

The squad only had one foriegn player, which will be let go of course

Currently the team is sitting in 4th place in the league (13 games into the season) with 21 points (5-6-2)

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/MmG5CPamOvW3PYIuILHvQbikfzrqdL5mm1NUBRad.jpg

We have been knocked out of the FA Cup but our next match is in the EA Sports Cup, so we still have a chance of winning 2 trophies this season! Results are upcoming as the come in!

Ok, so this may be the wrong place for this but I am attempting to start a career on this challenge but when I go to update my career I seem to be missing something. Such as I cant seem to add pics to it, bold things, change text color, its just a basic text editor, where have all the advanced commands gone?

EDIT: It seems to be a browser thing...on Chrome I cant see them , on IE I can, strange

After a look at the staff, I realized I needed to fill a few positions. So, I went out and hired a Director of Football and a Head of Youth Development. Both of these new staff members will allow me to improve this team and move up the leagues.

Also, below is a list of the preseason transfers that the club was able to pull off.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7VSqdp6KEQRuCMmug8QhCAIU0s4BuK1PoufH1yfv.png

Getting everyone on a free was great (didnt really have a choice) and we also managed to not use all of our wage budget.

The first game of the season went well for us as we were able to pull off the 2-1 win over Taunton Town. Up next is an away league match against Hungerford Town then a home match against Wellington, Hereford in the FA Cup.

Here I am, an American/German who loves the worlds game of Soccer or Football. I have grown up around Portland, OR which is a city in the USA that has learned to love the great game. I have supported my local club Portland Timbers FC for many years and have played myself as a Sunday footballer. One day it hit me, I want to manage a team. I know everything there is about football, why not give it a shot. I put my name out there and after a few weeks I finally got a job offer from a team in England! You're looking at the new manager for Winchester City!

I hoped on the plane and am currently headed overseas to begin my new life! Many updates are to come as I begin this new chapter in my life and chase my dreams over one day making it to the Premier League and winning that Champions League trophy!

Day 1:
After arriving at the stadium I was greeted by the teams owner and my new assistant manager. The owner and I briefly talked and I was given a short history on the club, as I honestly dont know much about Winchester City.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/cEjfpajYtHT33Y5Qe0cbGVO2kUKuoP5DE8jVwJbC.png

After chatting for a bit I was shown the roster for the first time. We didnt have much, not even a full team. Needless to say I had a lot of work to do ahead of me.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hd6K3DCekXnpFehNaxB1BkiOthq38BID01qWeDu2.png

Transfers started flying in over the next few days and weeks and the squad started coming together. The only thing not coming together were the results in the preseason, but I wasn't worried. We were heading into the new season with a good looking squad and you could feel the excitement around the stadium from fans and the team alike.
