A few clubs interested in Siegl then. Well done on the promotion!

So I kept Skedsmo up very comfortably - mid-table, in fact. We were consistent throughout my time in charge of the team but conceded our leads far too often in games, losing where we might have won. Start building towards next season now and get me some of that lovely Norwegian silverware.

Brought in 5 players during the transfer window. All on free transfers as we are only offering Amateur contracts and therefore don't have to pay a penny in wages. Surprisingly got some quite decent players making me pretty confident we will tie up promotion next year quite easily.

So it all begins at Skedsmo FK, an Amateur club in the Second Division Group 4, which is the 3rd tier of Norwegian football. They're actually quite a sound club for an Amateur side, projected to make £300k this season and have decent facilities for a club of their level. Skedsmo have been around since 1980 and this season are predicted to finish plum bottom. Not going to happen.

That's the situation as I take over. The previous manager was clearly doing a half decent job guiding them to a good start to the season. He was also on a 5 game unbeaten streak which does make me wonder why he was sacked. Must've been having it off with the chairman's wife. Little bugger. With only 1 promotion place up for grabs I fail to see how I can even dream of getting it this year. Next year the real work towards promotion starts.

Latest career went down the shitter as a result of the save deciding to corrupt. Plan is to taste success in a country then move on. I ain't got any time for loyalty in this career. You know how it goes: unemployed, Sunday League rep. Come to me you filthy substandard amateur/semi-pro sides, come to me, I'm a man on a mission. Oh, and I'm American Samoan, just 'cos really.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/oZHcVAUbmzG4OKXkqLMcd6KRbKEK30ZSv2x9716Z.png

That's the setup to begin with.. Haven't managed in any of these countries yet so they are first on the list then I will venture to other continents and make myself a living legend. Probably going to be a prick to the media too for a laugh. Who knows. I'll post up my first job tomorrow morning.

Oh, right in the feels... Last functioning save is way back in the Conference. Devastated.

Fear not, I'll be back with another save.

Another ruthless summer in the transfer window. Again, got rid of players who did play a part in getting us to where we are, but cannot cut it at this level - loyalty has to reach a line when it comes to the abilities of players. Only spent £50k this window - on a single transfer, Matty Pearson joins from Tranmere. Quite pleased to bring it Willie Robb as he looks like he could turn into a player. Luke Daniels brings some experience to the table in our bid to reach the Championship. Matthew Eastham is dubbed the next Michael Owen so we'll see how that goes.

So the final league table of our second season in League 2 sees us go up to League 1 as Champions, my second title in my time at Whitehawk. To be honest, this season it was never a doubt, especially with the acquisitions we made in the transfer windows. 108 league goals in total. 9 points clear. Decent.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xMML2q5uBLgnEKMycuKjHs8Q28YzIso2ORUWEDxl.png

As you can see Joe Lolley and Jake Hyde formed somewhat of a League 2 Sturridge and Suarez, haha. 57 league goals between them, very encouraging to see such a positive return from both of our strikers.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hB32M06ozotZZS6s6hwI7JLe6osCR1af2qLE8b0W.png

Totally forgot to do any Cupdates this season, but as you can see - we were shit. Other than the standard issue of making the FA Cup 3rd round, there wasn't a lot to shout about. Do feel Aston Villa were very lucky against us though, last minute equaliser for them. Meh.

How the hell you managed Pacoca to sign for you?! He looks brilliant!

We're a club on the rise Jonho! Haha, gave him some nice future incentives.

This season is going the exact way I wanted it to go when I made wholesale changes at the start of the season. Flying in the league, most goals scored, least goals conceded.. not a complaint at all. All we need to do is replicate our form for the second half of the season and we will be a League 1 side. Happy days.

Oops. Look what I did... after sifting through pretty much the whole of Brazil for hours upon hours, I signed a talent capable of playing in the Premier League already at the age of 18, but no - he's playing for the mighty Whitehawk in League 2. And the worst part? It was on a Bosman from Vitória.. still can't believe it actually came off. Has the potential to be a star Premier League player.. madness.

As Dan said some good signings Sam Ambrose will do well in League 2

Thanks Jamie. He's definitely got the talent anyway - his stamina is questionable.

As promised, a MAJOR shake up for this year. I've let practically every player that has contributed to my success go. Cruel as it may be, the facts are - they aren't good enough for this level, they aren't going to improve and they certainly aren't getting any younger. I've brought it some really bright talents and some players who can make an immediate impact. This is how the dealings look at the beginning of the league campaign, but I'm not sure if I'm done there.

You'll have another go next season, don't worry. How are the finances now?

Hopefully mate! Financially we are okay and so long as we have a good FA Cup/Capital One Cup run they should stay that way!

We've secured a play-off spot with a chance of making it 3 promotions in 4 seasons! Really surprised at the relative ease of this league with a few decent, assessed transfers. Main thing of note is Grimsby finishing with a hilarious 35 losses haha. We've drawn Crawley in the play-off semi's and I fancy us.
