Now @Dan I'm hoping you don't fail miserably like a certain other staff member has . . .

Good luck.

DPMM: May 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jTCV2gOaPM0SDK3eF91b8YelMgiJXOIHT9VHH5qT.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/quMuJRdJ4lM96GvXMaglx9uHvMEYoZXZxPvSFa9H.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i6Stou2rqsdCgQZ3EKV5YwxR9MDIFLJzZrP2X8Uf.png

The final month before the mid-season break is upon us and just two more games were to be played before the break and those games saw us make the journey to Balestier before hosting Tampines.

S.League - Match Day Fourteen
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xctFm55NilhMnobspl794JbLdAkRInB6ridSNvHN.jpg

Our four game unbeaten streak has come to an end as the side suffered a two one defeat on the road against Balestier, Ramazotti scored our goal in between a brace from Nanda Lin Kyaw Chit.

S.League - Match Day Fifteen
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/f7E7W0NabIWHmQyDGkP66Fq7BI5jnS5NJOAPdWcG.jpg

But we would soon bounce back in the game before the mid-season break as we eased part Tampines at home. Ramazotti broke the deadlock after nineteen minutes, Muhd Maududi made it two nil two minutes into the second half. We were comfortable throughout the game.

May round-up

That one defeat at the hands of Balestier has seen us slip down to sixth position in the S.League table which is a little frustrating, especially when we won our last game against Tampines. Geylang International are the new leaders while Young Lions prop up the table.

But it's happened again! I have been sacked as manager of DPMM and once again I've failed to see out a season and my reputation just can't improve. My "failure to improve the overall performance at the club was the final straw" and I'm out of work again even though this was like a month into the mid-season break. I'm beginning to hate this game.

No, I'm not allowed to load up any new nations (e.g. Northern Ireland) as that wasn't part of the agreement I had with myself at the start of the game, I've to complete a nation before picking a new one.

Cheers for the comment @Parker26, it's been a tough start thus far.

DPMM: April 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jTCV2gOaPM0SDK3eF91b8YelMgiJXOIHT9VHH5qT.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/quMuJRdJ4lM96GvXMaglx9uHvMEYoZXZxPvSFa9H.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i6Stou2rqsdCgQZ3EKV5YwxR9MDIFLJzZrP2X8Uf.png

We are in poor form at the minute following three consecutive defeats and failure to score in the previous two fixtures and as we enter the month of April as we have five S.League fixtures awaiting us - three of them are on the road as the side travel to Warriors, Albirex (S) and Young Lions while hosts Geylang International and Home United. I need to guide back to winning ways as soon as possible or I'll need to face the consequences.

S.League - Match Day Nine
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/MtwSaIqoI3WUwWuemVumAqgN0aPtNSXhcOpi7iqh.jpg

It's now four consecutive defeats and three S.League games without a goal as Warriors eased to a three nil victory in our first game in April as Paranjody, Emmeric Ong and El Habbib scored for the home side.

S.League - Match Day Ten
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/0HmVDa9sQg4Udf1e3Twbw2dEBd7fhOU4S1McGRSM.jpg

It's now five games without a win but at least we ended the losing streak with a two apiece draw against Geylang International at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium. Muhd Maududi gave us the lead on nine minutes and held the lead until Coto Ortega levelled with eleven minutes remaining, Maududi's second of the game regained our lead but Gabriel Quak's equaliser, a minute later saw the game end two two.

S.League - Match Day Eleven
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6Sn3Vk00n3KGo0g4QoCfhSGt9MlL7ICZiVopTUXV.jpg

We had to come from behind to secure a hard fought two one success at Albirex as our win-less run came to an end. Yanagi fired the hosts into a twelfth minute lead, Amat equalised with three minutes of the first half remaining before Muhd Maududi's goal on sixty eight minutes proved to be the winner for my DPMM charges.

S.League - Match Day Twelve
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EfoqvhgDTWbB24THw0QaLrNsmH3yfrR4AIvfbfes.jpg

A nil nil draw followed against Home United, we could've won it but didn't. Lets move on.

S.League - Match Day Thirteen
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sM16NqIxew8AHY2yShR6pz4z3PIYtvR5ARQiRs8w.jpg

The month of April concluded with an excellent three goals to nil success on the road at the now basement club Young Lions in which Azwan Ali's spot kick gave us the lead on eighteen minutes and that's how it remained until second half goals from Salas and Amat sealed maximum points on our travels.

April round-up

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/iTEYoGbQLLxJCjkf9jR4B8GuyKkz0wXMCK3WXb91.jpg

We are four games unbeaten, our best run of the current season by far but we still can't seem to climb the league table as my DPMM side remain in fifth place and six points behind the league leaders Hougang United but despite being just six points behind I still remain under intense pressure and I've got two league games remaining before the mid-season break. The two games before the mid-season break will see us travel to Balestier before hosting a Tampines side who secured their first league victory of the season against us earlier in the season, we'll be looking (and hopefully getting) revenge on them.

I'm hoping the win over Albirex (S) in which we had to come from two goals down can be the turning point @Dan.

Barely @Suffolk Seasider, I'm probably barely an improvement on Steve Kean.

DPMM: March 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jTCV2gOaPM0SDK3eF91b8YelMgiJXOIHT9VHH5qT.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/quMuJRdJ4lM96GvXMaglx9uHvMEYoZXZxPvSFa9H.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i6Stou2rqsdCgQZ3EKV5YwxR9MDIFLJzZrP2X8Uf.png

It's been a mixed enough start as the new DPMM manager with two wins and two defeats in my first four games in charge of the Singapore club, now into March and we've another four games awaiting us as we will entertain Young Lions and Balestier at home while trips to Hougang United and Tampines also awaited this month.

S.League - Match Day Five
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/QTOXJz2kfTMTC7NF0SW6kEZfwstF0iSp9Mu70s6Z.jpg

Hat trick's from strikers Ramazotti and Muhd Maududi saw us beat Young Lions seven goals to two with centre back Salas bagging the other goal - Shameer Aziq's brace were merely consolation goals for Young Lions.

S.League - Match Day Six
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7kvQGAPnA8617DhnBoyXx7ct5STqnhf9w5VNcltu.jpg

We couldn't build on that seven goals to two success as we then slipped up, losing four two away to Hougang United. Othman and Muhd Maududi scored in each half for ourselves while Salleh, Pablo Rodriguez, Syed Thaha and Anuar struck for the hosts.

S.League - Match Day Seven
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hDpg0l3MveWY4hEYVUHqIbDP0i7CPE7Jas0jq5pf.jpg

Nanda Lin Kyaw Chit struck with eight minutes remaining to give Balestier maximum points. Poor.

S.League - Match Day Eight
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ty1dyq1r5Zc2kAxJ0mqQwek8HLUloSvTnN6c3Tvd.jpg

The final game of the month took us to win-less Tampines and in typical fashion the hosts picked up their first league win of the season, beating us two nil in dominating fashion in which Fazrul Nawaz broke the deadlock on forty two minutes before Silvas' goal with two minutes remaining sealed the points.

March round-up
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ssoY2PY0QrKNjXJR1ptH5WoTXw6O98LaqVpP1xRk.jpg

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eLFaMMLzWLGMugYwo0rfldytVtx7v6XmoIfcM9Mm.jpg

Despite those three consecutive defeats we still remain in fifth position but my DPMM side are now TEN points behind the leaders Balestier - despite picking up their first league win against ourselves last time out, Tampines remain bottom. Just four points separate ourselves and the basement club and it's important we return to winning ways as soon as possible - our next game will take us to Warriors who have already eased past us this season.

DPMM: February 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jTCV2gOaPM0SDK3eF91b8YelMgiJXOIHT9VHH5qT.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/quMuJRdJ4lM96GvXMaglx9uHvMEYoZXZxPvSFa9H.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i6Stou2rqsdCgQZ3EKV5YwxR9MDIFLJzZrP2X8Uf.png

The season is upon us as we've entered the first competitive month in charge of Singaporean side DPMM and we have four league games awaiting us with two of them being at home against Warriors and Albirex (S) while we also face trips to Geylang Int. and Home United.

S.League - Match Day One
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UFN6oo5coAPRJq3yxhJJUPTfFFxf6ekE7iusijXb.jpg

The twenty eighteen campaign began with a home fixture against Warriors and it was a horrible start to the season as we shipped three goals inside the opening forty minutes as Webb, Nor and Paranjody scored while Sulaiman bagged the fourth Warriors goal. Striker Ramazotti bagged a brace for DPMM but it's a poor start.

S.League - Match Day Two
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sAW2mBXI9KOdpEsVjbs79dINvDoGyk3v2wyTJFcp.jpg

Battered. It's back-to-back defeats to begin the season as Geylang Int. won two one. Gabriel Quak broke the deadlock on seven minutes, Ramazotti equalised against the run of play on fifty six minutes but the hosts won when Coto Ortega scored with twenty two minutes remaining.

S.League - Match Day Three
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/75YCYjqvmoMuwJ3FOs3QZVue4Ul5dZNh20uu8pap.jpg

It took three games but we produced our first S.League victory of the season, beating Albirex (S) four goals to two at home as Muhd Maududi struck a second half hat trick - but it doesn't tell the story because the visitors took a two goal lead as Yanagi hit a double inside the opening half an hour, Salas pulled a goal back on the stroke of half time before Maududi's second half treble.

S.League - Match Day Four
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/IsehrXxATmQrvCbEOQ9WQoZdzhpfP8hinOGOcSJ3.jpg

A goal in either half from Harvey Moss and Othman gave us a two nil victory on the road against the one of the league favourites Home United.

February round-up

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nK4m2XhYFg1cBZKBTOblupg3UbOqzN6mccnN31ni.jpg

It's been a mixed start to life at DPMM but I don't think anyone's at all surprised because I'm in charge. We find ourselves in fifth place after the opening four games with two wins and two defeats. Warriors lead the table while Albirex (S) are bottom and pointless after three games.

DPMM: Preseason round-up 2018

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jTCV2gOaPM0SDK3eF91b8YelMgiJXOIHT9VHH5qT.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/quMuJRdJ4lM96GvXMaglx9uHvMEYoZXZxPvSFa9H.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i6Stou2rqsdCgQZ3EKV5YwxR9MDIFLJzZrP2X8Uf.png

Back in football management a few months after being sacked as Darlington manager, I ended up having to take a job in Singapore with professional top flight side Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Football Club who are one of the favourites to win the S.League alongside Home United. They decided to sack Steve Kean following a fourth place finish, I must at least attempt to win the league or it's a back-to-back sacking for me.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jbSAt5m7nJimoD0MMgLfUISGXcTDk6oopr8EJaTY.jpg

I've ended up bringing in nine players which for me was idiotic as quite a few of them now won't be able to be registered for the forthcoming league campaign (no more than three foreign players are allowed to be registered). I did bring in Irfan Imran, Harrison Eyenga Lokila, Charlie Hornby, Jack Bradley, Harvey Moss, Sahairi Ramri, Amirul Adli, Nur Ridho and Faiq Bolkiah - Aldi costing us twenty five and a half thousand pound while Bolkiah joind on loan from Leicester City until the end of the season. Zeljko Savic, Azwan Muhd Salleh and Muhd Aminuddin Zakwan Muhd Tahir departed the club and joined Vojvodina, Home United and Young Lions respectively.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PK1l890aXORuD5eEIPZUdljRRFUcQvK36mckXlRq.jpg

It turned out to be a mixed preseason as well at DPMM as four games were organised and we won half of them as Bedok Youth United and Singapore Power were beaten four one and three one but then the side suffered back-to-back defeats against Rendezvous and Elias Park. The S.League season begins with a home fixture against Warriors and I'm hoping we can get off to a winning start.

Nope it turned out to be a brutal stint in charge of Darlo @Ipswich Knights.

Ha I can very well believe that @DNZY but cheers nonetheless. Onwards and downwards and all that.

They're crap @HockeyBhoy but I know I'll probably return one day to them haha.

Don't you mean time to find the next job and ruin them @Dan? The next job won't be in England that's for sure.

In theory they should @Ruskii.

Hey ho, hey ho, it's off to Singapore I go . . .

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7EtaleEYSlgovMtdNLb7QCeBA4dCWugrVUmHouvB.png

After being sacked as Darlington manager my reputation stars went down to half a star so jobs were to be limited and I didn't fancy returning to England at this moment in time. The only jobs I could've ideally applied for was other half star or one star jobs and even they were few and far between, a vacancy at Welsh Premier League club Newtown came up and I fancied leaving the United Kingdom for at least a season or two. One job then became vacant in Singapore and I jumped at the chance to apply.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Fmqm9MOs4h2r3HNZzhC9o8rp0YJ6IEx8k7zQVL0H.jpg

And that club was S League favourites DPMM who decided to part company with former Blackburn favourite manager Steve Kean after a fourth place finish in the league. With the club favourites to win the Singaporean top flight and only three trophies available to win I jumped at the opportunity and applied for a job but I wasn't holding out much hope.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tgf2f49SfrZsWD4c2hmZc7beQdrfU6bInE5jWOto.jpg

The full name of the club is Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota or DPMM for short but they've offered me a surprising interview for the vacancy which I attended, answered all the questions to the best of my ability and now I just await to see if I hear a response.

https://sortitoutsi.b-cdn.net/uploads/mirrored_images/V8P7bGlMlswjAbfG80Zl8r10am8md7UCtcOoDPdG.jpg

And now I'm back in football manager as I've been announced the new first team manager of the Singapoire S League side DPMM who decided to appoint a 'virtually unknown' Northern Irish man as their new boss even though I don't know the language at the moment. It said I previously struggled at Darlington and that's an understatement but I'm raring to go at DPMM and I don't think it can go any worse. The club were only formed back in 2000. They were previously banned from the S League om 2010 because of FIFA and excelled a year previously.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EKuLIiMe5qW4LHmXvdCi3jOvHXYGMVlzlcpSufHW.jpg

And the final piece of news on this update is even though I've only been appointed the DPMM board are letting me go on my first ever coaching course which will see me capture my National C Licence if I complete the course. It will take around four months of study at the football club will cover the four hundred and eighty pounds fee to cover the course.

I didn't realise that was at all possible VP until my recent month. I've never had a worse month.

Ha @Dan I probably shouldn't have posted it on Twitter first but it was quite invitable, wasn't it? It's been a brutal stint.

It was poor @Suffolk Seasider.

Who says they're going to wait until the morning @DNZY? Turn it around? I doubt it very much as the confidence is shot with this lot and nothing is working.

Same @Ipswich Knights, I mean I've gone through an entire month before losing every game but at least I was able to score a few in the process.

The record won't be getting posted @jambowambo as it's nothing something to brag about ha.

I don't think I'll be able to turn it around @r96Skinner as there's no confidence in the squad now, I should feel somewhat responable.

It was a brutal month @kinggazzaman.

With the pressure now on me from to pick up eleven points from the next five games and no confidence throughout the squad, surely the sack loomed in my first managerial job at Darlington Football Club. The first two games this month saw us welcome Stockport County to Blackwell Meadows before travelling to Nuneaton.

The first game of the month saw us welcome Stockport County to Blackwell Meadows as we were held to a score draw which meant we actually scored a goal. Dass gave County the lead before Mark Beck levelled on the stroke of half time.

Darlington: September 2017

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/voyyyfFWLCnoyOyCUBBChEm0EEBjsr7lBxo5HOEv.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BMWqX93JRltbasZIuGG53HTXEaVdz7SP08wkliRr.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aOjOdrttv0gLIegPBczPD16d7MhbJoIrviPAMmkh.png

It's been a mixed start as Darlington manager after the opening seven games in which we find ourselves in thirteenth position with two wins, two draws and three defeats thus far as we enter the second month of the competitive fixtures in the National League North. We begin the month with back-to-back away games but three straight home games (one of those in the FA Cup qualifying round) and the month ends with a trip to Boston United.

National League North - Match Day Eight
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/2hOOVTMXItKYIkOip77iWPMJJceUNuhifF4kBN72.jpg

September began with a trip to Southport in which we suffered a humiliating three nil defeat. Steven Schumacher scored twice while Clarke scored in between Schumacher's brace.

National League North - Match Day Nine
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XaCL7w8bgjWMeBq02idR0CvxyjY8NyrS3UvyYIOI.jpg

A goal in either half gave Chorley a two nil victory in our next game as Carver brook the deadlock on twenty eight minutes before an own goal from Kevin Burgess doubled Chorley's lead.

National League North - Match Day Ten
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PNIV6J2a6UpKJyrZz316gttZMEualHLSYymIwj4F.jpg

It's now three games without a goal as Leamington scored with five minutes remaining through Obeng at Blackwell Meadows.

National League North - Match Day Eleven
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/FgARkdkSQRqdY9hGZxijSsYMWn569Lfi9PfbuADn.jpg

You can now make it four games without a win and a goal as FC United of Manchester picked up a single goal victory at Blackwell Meadows, G. Brown was shown a straight red card after only twelve minutes for Darlo and it took FCUM until the seventy third minute for the visitors to take the lead and score the winner through Walker.

FA Cup - Second Qualifying Round
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8M95SHf9AkURnMmFAkZhPQnCXUb84Q93enSvR1p6.jpg

National League North - Match Day Twelve
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/WInRmVPeUtKX4COMxlN1XIhkHy28KAd15vxGgu0x.jpg

A disgusting month has seen Darlo plummet down the league table from thirteenth to twenty first and I don't know how we're going to get out of this hole. Confidence is ruined, we aren't scoring which means we can't be winning and I'm so glad Gainsborough have had a worst start than ourselves.after twelve games. Salford still, as expected, lead the table

Darlington: August 2017

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/voyyyfFWLCnoyOyCUBBChEm0EEBjsr7lBxo5HOEv.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BMWqX93JRltbasZIuGG53HTXEaVdz7SP08wkliRr.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aOjOdrttv0gLIegPBczPD16d7MhbJoIrviPAMmkh.png

With a mixed but somewhat successful preseason program behind us it was now time to begin the National League North campaign as the opening month of the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season saw us play seven games all in the league. Four of the games were at home against Gainsborough, Alferton, Telford and Spennymoor while we also had to make trips to Salford, York and North Ferriby within the opening month.

National League North - Match Day One
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eNEcFP8hZFoQr1ExOta9upqk9fIXueDqIvJ7RwUn.jpg

Our league campaign began with a single goal defeat away to Salford City in which I take full blame for the defeat. Jack Redshaw scored the only goal on fifty nine minutes when I perhaps idiotically went with an attacking mentality even though they were barely troubling us up until the goal. Oh well, you live and learn.

National League North - Match Day Two
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fnEsVHl4UfgAJbAH9Mwk09KOz29IWMrjSl3PDggL.jpg

My first competitive win as Darlington manager in just my second game as Gainsborough were defeated one nil at Blackwell Meadows, after a dour first half I decided we needed to go attacking at home and within a minute of the second half James Caton got on the end of a cross to score the winner.

National League North - Match Day Three
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/au6Lu6b7hDZkvDqUN5Y3wu552kZttagzFwcfsCSa.jpg

Two goals inside the space of four first half minutes saw the points shared against Alferton at Blackwell Meadows. Young attacking midfielder Fletcher put us into the lead on ten minutes but just four minutes later former Notts County, Chesterfield, Walsall, Portsmouth and Mansfield winger/forward Craig Westcarr equalised and that's how the game ended.

National League North - Match Day Four
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/QEYSSMUlRoShRa5hnbpAaYiulwpLjxbFNT2C6w3U.jpg

Following a two game unbeaten run it came to an end in heartbreaking fashion at York's Bootham Cresent as the hosts won the game three goals to two thanks to a goal two minutes from time but we led the contest twice thanks to goals from Joe Wheatley and Harvey Saunders but an own goal and then two goals in the final twenty minutes from Rankine and Wharton won the game for York.

National League North - Match Day Five
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZZR2alSv1kAw6EsvqpRDCqruyaBuiEajQJoh823U.jpg

It was our turn to score a last gasp goal as the side salvaged a home draw against an AFC Telford side who must be frustrated not to have held on for maximum points. James Caton gave us the lead on thirty three minutes but goals from Murphy and Sutton turned the game around for the visitors - Mark Beck's goal a minute from time salvaged a point for Darlo.

National League North - Match Day Six
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5gTICe1LKPEYUSg1vnQtiGJuZ7awcRiaMLHucf19.jpg

The penultimate game of the opening month took us to North Ferriby United, they won two nil thanks to second half goals from Bateson and Emerton. We were outplayed from start to finish and by far the worst performance of the season to date.

National League North - Match Day Seven
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kH4X7VgZU7QE49Fh5SH9nTXeRvg4wqc2vqc1SxrQ.jpg

Spennymoor made the trip to Blackwell Meadows for the final league game of the month and despite Dave Syers being shown a straight red card on thirty four minutes we showed great resilience and got rewarded when Harvey Saunders bagged a dramatic late winner with the game entering second half stoppage time.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PSzicenyMCMODPhSxacvAC34NGSuvj4RVvJLCRwL.jpg

It's been a steep learning curve at Darlington as after seven games we find ourselves down in thirteen position with just two wins so far and they came both at home against Gainsborough and Spennymoor. Salford, as expected, lead the league and currently unbeaten.

Oh I'm well aware with how tough the National Leagues are to escape @Suffolk Seasider so I know my spell at Darlington is going to be a tough one but one I'm looking forward to as well.

Yep and that's what's also appealed to me @r96Skinner even though I didn't want to begin this career in England.

Although I didn't want to begin in England, I'll always try my hardest to succeed @Dan.

Darlington: Pre season round-up 2017/18

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/voyyyfFWLCnoyOyCUBBChEm0EEBjsr7lBxo5HOEv.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BMWqX93JRltbasZIuGG53HTXEaVdz7SP08wkliRr.png - https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aOjOdrttv0gLIegPBczPD16d7MhbJoIrviPAMmkh.png

I've decided not to bring any new faces to the football club in my first transfer window as I feel the current squad deserve a chance to get us a minimum of a playoff spot which is what the current board are expecting and if I can deliver more than superb. We ended up playing eight games during a busy preseason program as I decided to add a few more games to the current schedule.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/JUKgcXaCxkZqyb5uXSJEhnk8iaO8Q2OENeZXIt7X.jpg

It turned out to be a somewhat successful preseason program as I guided the club to five victories from the eight scheduled games all on the road as Darlington beat Clydebank two one, Northallerton three one, Shildon four nil, Bishop Auckland two one and Penrith one nil while Sunderland and Coalville defeated us three nil and three one respectively and a nil nil draw away to Norton & Stockton Ancients also happened. I'm hopeful the squad is ready for the league campaign which will begin on the road to Salford City.

It's a possibility @DNZY.

Cheers @Sean_67, I decided to be different and draw the leagues out of a plastic cup as it then meant I got to avoid loading all the "big" nations first.

@Dan; Chile is a serious possiblity as it's a nice and quick country to manage in.

I'm def. going to apply for the Pogon job @r96Skinner and lets hope I end up getting it as I've never managed in Poland before.

Ha cheers @Suffolk Seasider but please don't stalk me, it would be greatly appriciated.

Cheers @Johno.

Cheers @Ipswich Knights.

Cheers @Ruskii, it's going to be fun and testing but mostly testing of my patience.

Where do I begin?

I don't really want to begin my managerial career in England but I decided to apply for the current vacancy at National League North outfit Darlington in case I don't get a job any of the other two jobs that I've applied for and that was at Polish side Pogon Siedlce and the Chilean outfit Cobreloa. Darlington are predicted to finish sixth in the National North, Pogon eleventh in the second tier of Polish football and Cobreloa are predicted to finish fifth in the Chilean second division.

Oh and I turned down an interview at Bognor Regis Town as I considered that a "dead end" job.


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/W3sMijUwxk0BO1RsUPzZ1dkzB3CFsUNRLdckRYon.jpg

Here's proof that I've indeed applied for three potential vacancies and ones I'd like to spend a few seasons at in an attempt to build them up into promotion/title contenders. I'm well aware the plan for this career is to win every domestic trophy available but I don't see the point in trying to "rush" the career and I'll only feel like jumping ship if a) I feel the job is done and I can't take the club any further b) I get sacked or c) I've conquered a nation and then that'll be deleted. I've attended all the interviews and now I'm just waiting word back.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PmHzBGy4weyjhMTbj1Fc0AzazU7RUTpSTgu0RUZl.jpg

Well that indeed sucks and it looks like my career will be starting in England after all which isn't ideal and I wish I had drawn out somewhere like Northern Ireland as I would've been guaranteed a job from the start ideally. Unfortunately for me I didn't do enough at Pogon or Cobreloa to get the post which is a shame so it's off to Darlington's Blackwell Meadow's I go.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fWD2lsFwSmyYei9k5zE9vnHIt9nYFdUg9usOEOCj.jpg

And there's the conformation that I've been appointed as the new manager of Darlington Football Club who ply there trade in the National League North and are predicted to finish the campaign in sixth place and it's going to be tough to achieve that as I know next to nothing about the club but I'll give it my best shot even though it wasn't my first choice of destination. I've agreed a one year deal at the club and I'm hoping I do well enough so it can get extended.

Our league campaign begins with a tough trip to Salford City.

Where will I begin?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/WIkwMFFz03DeEWaO07yfMDBrn06WWPfjr8ayIUtG.jpg

Starting the career unemployed I thought I'd immediately head to the "Job Centre" in an attempt to begin looking for my first managerial post. There was thirteen jobs available over the eight nations I had originally loaded but I couldn't plan for them all as there was positions that would've been unrealistic for a managerial nobody like me.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hiXsbU8JTgrpsMaTPIL0Cg2Ci7oHxJxnM4EuZji7.jpg

Like I said previously, thirteen jobs were available from the get go but there was at least six positions I couldn't apply for due to being massively under qualified and those would've been the three Major League Soccer positions at Montreal Impact, New England Revolution and Colorado Rapids while the two English Premier League jobs at Everton and Leicester City and Belgian outfit KV Mechelen would have also been impossible to get at this stage of my career.

I don't really want to begin the career in England so I'm not really wanting to apply for the posts at Bognor Regis, FC United of Manchester, Darlington or Barrow and I feel Gillingham might be too high up as they're in League One.

That leaves two possible vacancies if I choose not to begin in England and that's at Chilean side Cobreloa and Polish outfit Pogon Siedice.

Dominating The World


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SZKWjv2nOndTFioQ0nGK1jVcFjBEoFGjEFqw6lGq.png

Hello all and welcome to what'll hopefully be my one and only Football Manager 2018 career on the Susie forums and I, for the first time (properly) since the 2015 game attempt to not only conquer Europe but the entire World, managing in countries I never have before and some I'd rather not...

Just like any previous saves I have done, I will be starting unemployed and the reputation of a Sunday League Footballer as it'll make the career more difficult and I'll need to make my way up for a "big" job in the management lark.


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/4iWhU1KlKqZOCtmoMD2siNdyQOUdrALSmqbduEtO.jpg

Overall there's fifty one countries from all over the world that are playable from the beginning. There's eight countries in Asia, one in South Africa, thirty four countries throughout Europe, two in North America and six in South America so it should be an enjoyable career. Just like my previous careers, I will be starting unemployed with no coaching qualifications and the reputation of a Sunday League Footballer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/lRXLlxQxaPHMUh2kgyxOe7sA6Da3LtLERW8TbOZq.jpg

I've drawn out the countries I've decided to begin with and it's a random set of eight countries from across the world but I'm buzzing to get started. England is the biggest country that's been selected while I've also loaded up all the divisions in Poland, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Singapore, USA and Wales. It's going to be a fun career I'm sure and I won't be adding anymore countries until one has been completed.
