In my first game of 2011 I took Crewe from the bottom to the Prem, left them a decent squad and a shed load of pennies. Then I left for Sunderland, took me a few years, various Champions league qualifications and and FA cup win and finally had an awesome squad and the game frickin crash dumped. Was devastated.

Approaching the end of my second season at Neath in the Welsh League, a job I took purely on the basis it means I get to manage Lee Trundle

Won the league and FA Cup double in my first season, clinched the league with four games to go this season and in the final of both cups so a possible treble is on the cards.

Team's mostly made up of players from English non-league clubs and kids who have been let go by big clubs in England and Scotland. Playing 4-3-3 with Trundle as playmaker in the middle of the front three and pace either side of him.

Got Blackpool as my parent club, but they've been sod all use in terms of sending me players. Might have to look at changing it in the off-season.

I must say my current game is remarkably close to real life. Top 7 is the same and bottom 7 is the same with 30 games gone as the league finished this season. After a truly awful start with loads of injuries I have recovered to 7th with Everton. I've got no money still but have got several quality young players in now.

Top scorers are Beckford and Vellios with 10.
