Things didn't go as well as the start of the season leading up to the break but we did have a lot of tough fixtures. The big disappointment was throwing away a 2-0 and being put out the cup by a non-league team.

But all-in-all we are just 2 points off 3rd place, although I'd be more than happy with a top half finish.

Cheers lads.

Had a look at that Caleta-Car, he wants over £1.5k p/w so he's out of my league at the minute.

All but one player will leave in the summer. I have absolutely no money to offer anyone new contracts. The club only brings in about £500 a month through gate receipts.

We only have about 180 fans at a match, we need more fans and a decent cup run for anything to work out. This is going to be tough!

Went with a left sided 2-3-3-2 and lost to a single (own) goal against top of the table can't complain. Just need to take each match as it comes constantly changing the formation.

Squads fucked.

No right sided players fit, only one defender fit. This next match should be fun.

Next think on the agenda is finding replacements for the older players. I’ll be looking at players approaching 30 in the next couple of seasons.
- Kris Commons is injured and likely to decline; ideally I’ll replace him in January and keep him on as a player coach.
- Scott Brown, he’ll stay at the club until he retires and I have Jason Lowe ready to step in and Joe Ledley as replacement captain.
- Charlie Mulgrew’s got another season left in him. I’m not sure if Stuart Findlay will be ready by the time I need a replacement

The only urgent case here I Commons and I already have a few ideas in mind.

Also at £35k p/w if Jordan Rhodes doesn’t finish top goal scorer he is out the door. Currently 5 off the mark.

I'm happy with this draw. Not really any daunting teams we could face if we progress, at least either Dortmund or Moncao will go. It would be good to get an easy run up to the latter stages.

Since the crash we now have Bayern Munich in the ranks. Hopefully someone knocks them out.

Re-done the past month.

Forms been up and down in the end of 2015. Cant seem to put a decent run together, still top by a margin though. Might change things up again for the new breed coming through. Crashed out at the group stages again. We should have beat Ajax at home, so frustrating. So thats one goal this season I haven't met. Play is now to win the Eruopa League.

Rhodes has came of the boil a bit. Need to get him firing them home again! I think my plan of not signing anyone in the summer may have backfired.

Got a bit carried away last night and smashed through the first three months.

Assistant took over the friendlies while I tried to sort things out behind the scenes. As you could see from the last post we were pretty weak on the right hand side (and still are). I brought in a new right back, Zoran Arsenic, on loan with the parent club paying his wages. The only right winger I have has been injured so I've been forced to play a messed up 442 (although it seems to be working).

Great start to the season so far. Much better than expected, hopefully it sets the tone for the season and we finish in the top half. Don't want to go for promotion yet. Half my players are on loan and will be leaving at the end of the season so I need a few seasons to build a decent squad.

Squads not the most versatile, I can see me playing some funky formations through the season.

Plan for the season. Struggle and try not to cry. Eventually reaching mid-table mediocracy. I'll get tore into this over the weekend at some point, hopefully have an update up after 3 months or something.

So I picked NK Pomorac. Based in Kostrena, a port city in Croatia, the name translates into English as ‘mariner’ or ‘seaman’. They’re predicted to finish 10th in the 12 team 2. HNL, so I’m not expecting miracles.

First few seasons are going to be a struggle. My plan will be to build a solid base, get the finances up to scratch. Only then can I build a squad good enough for promotion.

The club is skint. I’m already £700 p/w over the £5.1k p/w wage budget and the projected balance for the end of the season is -£600k.

The Welsh team? I don't like custom databases, too many bugs in most just sticking with the default.

I take it you've tried it. How did you fare?

I had a look through there, most of them are too high in terms of reputation. I'm considering Boavista and Racing, less so racing. Don't fancy Spain.

So I picked the leagues.

Currently scouring through the leagues looking for the imperfect fit, suggestions welcome.

I was thinking about Boavista but as you said Portugal has been done.

Croatia is a good shout, always get good regens coming though from there. As for Spain, I've managed there a few times and promotion is quite easy at the beginning. Tonight I'll load up a game with all the leagues suggested and have a proper look.

Thanks for the advice Dan.

I'm having a look the now, Belgium caught my eye as did Denmark. Never managed in either before so I don't really know what to expect. Dabbled in the Republic of Ireland before but never really made a proper go of it.

I need your help lads. Take me out my comfort zone and fuck with my FM mind.

I need a suggestion where to start. I want to build a team from the bottom up like a few of other guys are doing on here. Something completely new so I'm putting it down to you! I have a few criteria where I want to start.
- A nation with good youth prospects
- Not a very poor nation

Also I'm using the default database (with Gibraltar). And a list of leagues to go along with it.

I'll be a former sunday league footballer who only speaks English.

Had a meeting with the board I managed to get some good things out of it:

- They gave me an extra £6m for transfers
- They increased they transfer revenue percentage to 95
- They started looking for a feeder club
- The increased the junior coaching budget

A decent two months meant we stretched the lead at the top to 8 points. We even managed 3 points at home in the Champions League, can we take another 6 and qualify! Hopefully a place in the last 16 isn't out of reach.

Gutted with this one. Been key over the past 2 and a bit seasons, hopefully he makes it back for the tail end of the season. I was able to convince him to become a coach and looks pretty decent for a new coach but can't get him on a new contract yet, hopefully after I few months I can get him in the u19 set-up.

So Hib£rnian want to play with the big boys. Not sure what they were valued before but now about £40m, will definitely spice things up. Take over seems semi-realistic too. Hibs could be bought fairly cheep I'd imagine, and its a club in the capital.

I got a bit fed up with monthly updates too Dan.

I now find updating every 2/3 months the way forward. Stops you forgetting a lot of stuff and keeps the story going at a good rate.
