Thanks DNZY, appreciate it!

All right. I should probably update you on what's happening.

Only a couple of jobs in the top three tiers of Northern Irish football are available, but there are a host of clubs in the amateur leagues. I applied for four jobs accordingly.

A good balance of league clubs that I can build my rep at along with amateur clubs for a quick promotion to up my stock. Now to wait and see who comes back.

Wow, that was quick. Seems like my rep is higher than I imagine. It's hard to say which job appeals to me more, but I guess that's what the interviews are for.

One is offering a non-existent wage budget to challenge for promotion from the third tier. The other is offering a decently sized budget to survive in the second tier. I think the decision is fairly obvious.

If you saw this series title and clicked the link expecting a run-of-the-mill Man United save with painfully defensive football and not many notable trophies (cough cough), you would be wrong on all three counts

This is Fergus McShane. He is a 20-year-old former youth academy player trying to make his way in management. He is a former youth graduate of the Cliftonville academy, but a broken leg at 16 stunted his development. Two years later, he was playing Sunday League football in his native Belfast. He completed a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education but was unable to get a job after graduation. As a result, he was forced to enter the world of football management, hoping to reach the pinnacle of Northern Irish football.
