1. STOP 1- Black Cat Revival

I will be writing up each step of the tour follow my story here...

Here is my manager for this challenge

Great to see the tour is back in the early days of fm18

The 1 season challenges are alot better

Ignore that just seen it

When's the next leg of the tour got a week off to complete one

I have read on several websites it's a glitch in the system when using the a-league as people have had it happen in their saves but then in the same save when trying to sign other players or loading back to before the transfer it won't go through it seems si haven't hard coded the rules into the game as only transfer allowed between clubs is player exchange but others have had bids accepted and when making enquiry to a team it automatically accepts the bid

My first month was literally spent negotiating contracts and looking at scout reports.

I released Gallagher and Kamara due to them not being English and also released Seb Brown due to not needing him as a coach and I felt he weren't good enough to be a part of my team


After discussions with my backroom team I felt it was time to terminate these contracts

After going through job centre applications I reinforced my backroom team and had an added bonus of some with international experience joining us


My scouts and coaching team were under alot of pressure searching for and assessing players on trial and then I had the process of negotiating contracts



I then went through the process of making sure all 3 squads were ready for the season.

My first team squad


Reserve team


And finally my under 18s


I will be reviewing the reserve and under18 performances throughout the season and calling players up when I see fit to do so.



We only played 3 friendlies in July so I'm a bit concerned for match sharpness at start of the season



In other club news we are pleased to announce we have agreed a link Stevenage as our parent club


Next update will be 1st September

Hampton & Richmond borough is an English football club based in the suburb of Hampton, in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames. They were founded in 1921 and formerly known as Hampton F.C until 1999 when they changed their name in an attempt to draw a wider support base from around the borough. They currently compete in the Vanarama national league south, the sixth tier of English football.
Hampton & Richmond Borough remains the only senior-level football club to represent the borough of Richmond upon Thames, but arguably struggles in attendance due to the popularity of rugby union in the borough. The club has a core support base of around 300 to 400 people. Their nickname is 'The Beavers'
They play their home games at The Beveree stadium

My Manager for this challenge



My Starting finances aren't great so this will add to the challenge


The Media prediction for the club is to finish 17th but I am confident in my ability to do better than that



My squad is lacking some depth so will definitely be needing some good scouts to bring in some players, As you can see Sam Gallagher, Kieran Murphy & Michael Kamara will have to leave the club asap as they do not fit in with my English players only policy


My backroom team isn't the greatest and I will be bringing in some fresh faces to help me achieve my goals this season

Local talent to national hero

My conquest of England

I will be starting as the club closest to my house in the Vanarama south and will make all my career decisions based on what I would do in real life looking for houses etc.

My challenge is to go from managing a local side to being one of the best managers in England by winning every trophy available at club level and eventually international level.
To make this a little easier I will be counting automatic promotion and winning playoffs as a trophy.

What I need to win Vanarama north/south, Vanarama National League, League 2, League 1, Championship, Premiership, FA Trophy, EFL Trophy, League cup, FA Cup, Community shield, Champions League, Europa League, European Championships, World Cup

The rules I will be using is:

•Start with no coaching badges
•Start with Sunday league experience
•Only allowed to use English players
•Only sign players recommended by scouts do not use the search bar
•Only sign staff by advertising through job centre
•All decisions regarding my career based on what I would do in real life

Finally completed and like many others will never return here again!!

League




FFA cup



A-League finals



Hyundai A-League:3rd- 10 points
Hyundai A-League Finals Series: Runner Up - 15 points
FFA Cup:Winners – 25 points
Rivalries: Beat Melbourne Victory (4 times)- 20 points

Total points - 70

Looking forward to the next part of the tour

My manager stats to take on this challenge

I will start this tonight if it is ok to join

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Kx652ns53xMXYCcIWF5sIH5fynkcxVAzStUexMp3.jpg

1 down 35 to go

Due to work and family life I have no longer got time to update stories monthly so will be updating every half season

My first season ended a lot better than expected we clinched the playoff place


Beating Aldershot in the final



Due to promotion we have now turned into a professional club


Next update will be my first half of season in league 2

Good luck

November Update

A great start in our first game vs Guiseley. Lafayette scoring twice with Miller and Emmanuel bagging 1 each


Next game was away to Woking it was a close game but unfortunately we came away with no points


Lafayette getting his name on the scoresheet again as we managed to get a draw at Macclesfield


We ended November positively with Lafayette bagging another 2 against Sutton and taking the 3 points



Not a bad start overall taking 7 points from a possible 12

Only 1 loan signing bought in so far


We have however formed a link with burton so hopefully they have some good players to help us out

Sorry there hasn't been no updates but will be done regularly now

Just started this challenge follow my story

https://sortitoutsi.net/careers/view/32199/dominating-the-british-isles

As you can see from league table we can still make a push for promotion in the first season.


Upcoming fixtures against Guiseley, Woking, Macclesfield and Sutton will be tough but hopefully we can gain some points. These matches will appear in the next update.

My next task was to have a look at the squad and check for any non British nationalities


As you can see I have 2 and the annoying thing about it is that according to my assistant manager they are 2 of the best players at the club but these players are now demoted to my under 18s team and will be sold or left to rot until their contracts run out

Thanks will be regularly updating when possible

Next update will be tomorrow with existing league table current squad and fixtures will then continue to update each month of gametime
