Thanks for commenting Ice Man; it's a tough call because my heart will always be at Coventry and looking to develop them. I'm not sure if I will actively look for a move, but if an interesting opportunity arises then it will have to be considere...
I absolutely loved Brisbane when I was in Australia travelling! Fantastic place to visit, and looks like you're doing a good job with the Roar!!
Fantastic work Sam, I had a fun career with Wimbledon on FM15, and it's great to see you bringing these guys to the fore... where are MK hiding at the moment?

Thanks Dan, appreciate the early comment! This was the very first save I started when I got FM, and I've had a couple of others run alongside but not invested into it. This one has been fun, but by the time I decided to post it as a career, I'd...

I began this save as unemployed, with Sunday League exper...

So I've been looking for one last fling with FM15 before the new game comes out, and I decided that I'd let the computer decide who I should manage. After randomising for a Premier League side, Norwich City was my destination.
