S2 Chapter 1.5: A Major Facelift (Part 2)*
Midfield
From Wolves via Bromley we managed to snag Dudley born Zimbabwean not yet international Tendai.
Who I think will be a great player for us. Very similar to Eli, so he can play in the AMC position if we l...
S2 Chapter 1: A Major Facelift (part 1)
Logistics
First shocking move by the chairman is to get the club into heavy debt in order to BUILD A NEW GODDAMN STADIUM! Not only that, he names it after Tom Killick! The man who for 12 years did not reach with thi...
Chapter 23: Season Finale
Our next game was the official one for the title, against Bath. In theory if we manage to get just one point it is mathematically impossible for any other team to catch up with us. So at the advise of Jermaine I had an official t...
Chapter 22: The word on the Street
Our next game was against mid-table-have-nothing-to-play-for Concord. Sounds easy right? We should win 6-0 against a team with basically no reason to actually show up for the match... If only life was that simple...
The...
Chapter 21: The Weeping Wall
Than came a game in which we did not score, but draw. Thanks to Jamie Mellen who was kind enough to score an own goal. Another game in which we were not that good, but good enough not to lose points. Some might say its the stu...
Chapter 20: New Calf is Born
After a very stern "talk" with the team. Enough to say the words "Wanker", "Prat" and "Plonker" were tossed around much.
"You **** Tossers! ****** *** ***** Prat!"
- Manager M...
[b]Chapter 19: Complications[/b]
(((OOC: This is a fast update, life got in the day of my usually steady updates. Do not worry, save is not abandoned)))
Next game was against Bishop Stortford, just another game in which we must get points. Team continues...
Chapter 18: Distressing a maiden
It seems that our last game left a lasting impression, no one could ignore our midfield. Both Eli and Corby got on the team of the week. This is a very pleasant surprise, as my tactics really does not leave them allot of r...
Chapter 17: Crazy Shots
First we must begin with a very unremarkable departure.
What can I say about Will, he played for us. Not good, not bad. Just did. His only unusual trait was his inexplicable compulsion to go up the field. All in all he was not a b...
Thanks for the complement! Really appreciate it!
It took me so "long" to write episode 16 because of really nice feedback like this I have been getting from a few sites I am posting this on.
In fact I was encouraged to open my own blog-thingy,...
Chapter 16: Gosport Massacre
No surprise, moral is low. Getting knocked out from two cups in one week will do that to a team. So it was really ironic that Carl "The Spirit", our old man mascot, chose this time to want to leave us. We are both li...
Chapter 15: Wall fell down the Well
After our impressive win, Jermaine convinced me to allow hi to train our strikers himself, specifically how to shoot.
And thus Miss Jenas school for peculiar children started its first year of school.
Jermaine insists...
Chapter 14: Unsung old Heroes
After the cup drama lads found it hard to concentrate on our league match,
We lost our match against Concord and the first spot.
But all of our thoughts were on the FA Cup rematch against Newport, with an odd optimistic fe...
Chapter 13: Muppermaster
Well, if there was ANY doubt maestro Tiki-Taka can do something other than just standing there in the midfield and helping us not to lose possession.
The next two games proved any doubters wrong.
First game was not really his sh...
Chapter 12: Cup Children
Another league game, another draw.
This time I have excuses! The squad was tired after the epic cup game against Paulton.
Game itself was more or less uneventful, we played well but then we collapsed because the lads got tired....
Chapter 11: Extra Epic Game
"Luckily" for us, my defensive options dilemma sorted itself before the rematch with Paulton.
Poor Josh broke his leg.
It is really bad, poor kid might have just ended his career... at least for us. We dont really h...
Chapter 10: Giant Killers?
The week started great, with The Ripper wining a spot in the team of the week.
That is a great boon, both for me and for him. Shutting down all the doubters and Nick as well.
He is officially a decent goalkeeper for any side in...
Chapter 9: Riot Squad
Haters gonna hate. It has been since the dawn of time i think.
Some people can take it, like me for example. All that Muppet talk... ill show them, or not. All anyone can do it try.
Yet some people... just cant take it.
Like poor ol...
Chapter 7: We got Longbottomed
Jermaine started to really like his new job, and is getting all chummy with the Chairman who even decided to send him on a course to get his Continental A licence.
But when I mention it would be nice to have a manager who...
Chapter 7: Pearson wins us a game, while at home
It seems Parsons bad physical conditions was even worse then I thought... trying to keep up with Bonebreakers regime he managed to almost break his leg.
That is... Fisher insisting it was broken, while Cal...
Chapter 6: Saved by the Bola, Almost
((Out Of Character: First i feel i need to address some feedback given. No, I do not plan to release a chapter a match. It will all boil down to two factors. How much free time I have, and if something interesting happ...
Chapter 5: The Boy Beast Appears
As the euphoria of our last game settles down, its back to the drawing board.
With only 2 days left until our next game against Maindenhead, it looks like more all-nighters with Butler and Jones.
We did manage to fill the...
Chapter 4: Of bar fights and constipated debuts
With the countdown to "FM Day" (First match day) starting to run down... I find myself with a very lacking squad.
Only now i realize how much my own anti wingers stance because of me wanting to ge...
"And this is the story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called... Poole?"

Chapter: Not Managing Much
Next item on the list is to try and figure out how much room to maneuver i actually have, financially speaking.
It seems all the staff signings took their toll on the wage bill. With only 40K left... hardly ideal.
At least the...
Chapter 2: Big Black WHAT?!
After spending a few days with my assistant, i slowly get the feeling... that while good intentioned (he works for free! the fool!) he is quite... lacking... professionally.
So... in my first stroke of genius, one of many to...
Chapter 0: The New Poole Keeper
When you are approached by a decade old dead British music therapist to help him manage his Pool, who can refuse?!
Turns out its a VERY good idea to read the fine print of a job application. Even if on freelancer...
Oh Boy!...
A light-heated story about a clueless manager taking charge of Poole (Vanarama South).
