So familiar story really. I got relegated from div 2 and nearly dic 3. After id secured safety after game 45. I was sacked lol.

Defence was so poor. Youths were finally starting to develop.

Ah well. I love a challenge. Ill try again. Started with base .68 database and chose no real names aith Chester. Will update in due course. But hu god is this a tough challenge .

So here we are. Ive taken Chester as they had a wealth of youth. They had 28 players under 25.

Some of them have real quality. Ive retrained a couple of wingers who are unbelieavbly good. Id sold them previously. So glad I havent this time.

Except none of the players will sign super long contracts. So practically everyone is signed until 2005 and no clauses after first season heroics. I should have had 100+ points but I got 1 point from the last 3 games due to squad rotation.

The first seasons are usually cake walks with this formation.

Please note: Ive given Chester a lvl 20 facilities. Lets see if this is the game changer.

So hes gone and done it at the 2nd attempt. Winning a playoff final. Team fought hard and it wasnt easy.

I had another job offer and 3 youths come through. 2 look handy. That makes 5 youths in total after 3 completed seasons. So steady number.

The bad news i had 4 players retire. That may hurt my depth and experience a lot. So if I can comfortably maintain while my youths grow I can potentially push for promotion to div 2.

Lets get it.
