Hi friends, the club that i had chosen to manage in football manager 2010 is a blue square south club Thurrock F. C. They are a club based in Grays, Thurrock, Essex, England. Thurrock is a fairly young club if you compare to the powerhouse in English football. They were formed in 1985 as Purfleet F.C. This explain why their nickname is affectionately known as The Fleet.They changed their name to Thurrock in 2003 as they wanted a name close to the community to attract more fans. Thurrock play their football in ship lane, Grays.
You must be wondering why did i choose them. The reason is very simple, I want to create a history with them. They are a young club with a empty cabinet waiting to be filled. I want to bring them up to the premier league though it is not easy. However patience is the key, I hope I can achieve this.
I have a personal message from the chairman during my 1st day in the club.
I hope we can work closely with each other to achieve the targets for Thurrock F.C. The chairman is enjoying his times in the club and he intends to be around for very long time. Seems like he loved Thurrock a lot.
After meeting with the chairman, there is also a chance to meet up with my staff. There is a lot of recommendation regarding the strengths and weaknesses of my squad. I will take my time to go through every report and consider their recommendation.
The media predicts us to finish last in the coming season. I think i am going to prove them wrong.
That’s why the chairman does not expect much from me either. He will be happy if we attempt to avoid relegation. But I told him we can avoid relegation. However the club is rather poor now, there is no transfer funds available for me to bring in any players. I think i need to release some players whom i think is not good enough to have more wage budgets. I will see whether there is any good players for free and try to snap them up. In the meantime, I will request my board to find me a parent club. Hope can loan some good youngsters to strengthen the squad. I need to spend some time to go through my squad, there is a friendly between the 1st team and reserves coming up. I think I will have a better idea after that. In my next post I will inform about my transfer activities and hopefully finish the friendly matches.
You decide to manage very poor team and i can't wait to see first match results and your parent club. You 'll post montly or half season parts ?!? i think montly is be better…
when you 'll post new part…
sry for all eanglish mistakes..
Yes they are a poor team but that is one of my aim to make them richer. I believe i will post monthly results. Do not worry about your English, I can understand. I hope to post my new post soon.
