Okay, so I've decided to start over (without the editor changes, except for uniforms) and I'm going to start a story
Here we go!

I didn't use it for much though!
And Bangor's close to Old Colwyn so I figured I'd make them into my feeder club.
Frank Sinclair I have a soft spot for, since he's a good manager (not such a good player anymore)

Here's an update:

Colwyn Bay 0 - 0 Rotherham United

So my second game of pre-season with Colwyn Bay was against Rotherham United.

Before the game, I managed to sell John McKenna to Ashton United, and sent various other players on loan to lower league clubs.

Rotherham United are an okay League One side, but I always back my players to do well.

I started with a simple 4-4-2 with an attacking mentality. The game progressed and both teams seemed keen to keep possession of the ball without threatening much. Rotherham's best chance of the first half was a corner, from which Árnason hit the top of the bar. Matty McNeil seems, as of now, a great signing. He was constantly the last man in defense but his sliding tackles were spot on throughout the first half.

At half time, I told my lads to keep going, and my strikers that I was disappointed with their finishing, which caused the rest of the team to get angry. Not great, but we had to keep going. I made some substitutions to give others a run-out and to try and see what other options I had.

Second half started, and McNeil was substituted after a great first half which tired him out. His replacement, Danny Meadowcroft, did just as well as Rotherham tried to take the lead early on.

The turning point of the game was vice-captain Jeff Whitley's injury, which threw me into turmoil since I had no more midfielders. Frank Sinclair replaced him, and took the armband. He played in front of defense as a halfback, which is a position he's not familiar with.
With ten minutes remaining, my chances of getting a result were made even slimmer when captain Frank Sinclair was sent off after making a horrendous tackle on Rotherham's Robert Milsom.

I switched to a 3-5-1 formation to try and keep possession for the last few minutes, but then target man Jon Macken was forced off by injury in the 85th minute. I switched to a narrow formation and played a couple of players out of position, and thankfully Rotherham's long throws weren't enough to defeat my brave Seagulls!

So I started my save. I went into the editor to make Frank Sinclair assistant manager / player, and to edit uniforms and rivalries (mainly with Newport and Wrexham, but 60/60 on Cardiff and Swansea)

I only got Hitzlsperger to sign as a coach but that's good enough for now.
Once I started, I had a horrible physio that I fired, and now I can't get any physio to sign for me.

I managed to sign Andy Warrington (ex-Rotherham), Ryan Tafazolli (CB on loan) and Matty McNeil (CB / ST) for cover.

Akinbiyi didn't convince me, so I released him, and signed Vinny Mukendi, a 6'7" striker with okay stats. Exodus isn't interested in joining me.

In the center of midfield, I've signed quite a few veterans. Paul Bolland (as player coach), Jeff Whitley, Michael Simpson but I also managed to sign ex-Wolves Academy players, Nathan Rooney and Luke Ifil.

I played my first pre-season game against Tranmere Rovers and was beaten 1-0 which I'm delighted with, since they scored in the 6th minute.

I played a 3-5-2 and kept the ball away from them for the most part, and thankfully Stockton did not have his goal scoring boots on.

I'll keep you all updated as I progress


EDIT: I would also like to add that my board turned down my request for a parent club, and using the editor, I turned Bangor City into my feeder club, since they make some alright regens.

About to start a save with Colwyn Bay after getting bored of my Wolves one.
Do you guys know if Frank Sinclair is retained as a player? (He's player manager)

Unfortunate September. I too had that problem during September. Never could retain a lead unfortunately.
However you're only four points from the top. Let's hope October brings you to the summit.

I'll follow this closely! Wolves fan in peace

I have a save with Colwyn Bay and Andy Warrington is a very reliable keeper.
Good luck!

Just a quick favor.
I seem to have overwritten the Chester logo (transparent background) with the normal one (white circle) and I can't find it again.
Does anyone happen to have the one with the transparent logo? Normal and small sizes please. Much appreciated.

Play Aguero as a Trequartista or attacking DLF, and play Negredo as an AF.

Anyone have one available?

All 4 of them...

Cheers Kremmen.
Just to clarify though...

The White Rooster logo for Queretaro is an alternate, and it will only appear on their jerseys.
They retain the traditional shield, but with the orange stripe, since their owners bought Jaguares de Chiapas and took their spot in the Liga MX.

So, I guess the other logo could go in the Alt Folder

To clarify (taken from Wiki):

"There where some kind of changes after the Clausura 2013 was over and the relegation of the original team was decided, but the owner of Grupo Delfines bought Jaguares de Chiapas from TV Azteca and relocated the team to Querétaro to keep the city with a team in the Primera Division. In the meantime; The Club San Luis change of venue to the state of Chiapas in Tuxtla Gutierrez to play at the Estadio Victor Manuel Reyna, under the name Football Club Chiapas. and The Club La Piedad after their promotion, change of venue to the state of Veracruz to play in the Estadio Luis "Pirata" Fuente, under the name of Veracruz. The current Queretaro F.C. franchise will assume the original franchise's television partnership with the Televisa family of networks (Queretaro F.C. was the last Liga MX team to have Televisa as its television partner before the privatization of TV Azteca.)"

Hey guys, my New York Cosmos logo seems to be missing, and I was wondering if I could get someone to post it on here since it's the "request" thread.

Normal & small sizes, if it's not too much to ask.

Thanks in advance, and if it's too much of a hassle then don't worry about it!
