Similar to PMs effort "Bringing Up Baby", this is my effort at rearing my own side, at Morton.

"There'll be no money to spend, Mr Crawford. Ever." The chairman's words were disturbing. I had joined Morton in April, just before they clinched the Second Division title, after their incumbant boss, John "Cowboy" McCormack left unexpectedly for 'personal reasons'. Finance was tight nonetheless, and we had little prospect of survival at First Division level.

After selling off most of the saleable assets I was allowed to invest in four players, who signed pre-contracts. That was to be my lot as after this summer I would never sign another player for Morton. It was a decision I made early on in contract negotiations, and after reviewing our youth facility. The Youth class of 2003 were already in situe, and they, along with a sprinkling of more experienced players, and the class of 2004 would make up the bulk of our squad for the new season.

IB Notes:

Morton youth facilities edited to make sure we get some kids through. Nothing else edited other than that Berwick are now Kirkwall playing in an all-seater dome on Orkney with loads of money. They weren't promoted in their first season, infact they were almost relegated.

I came in in April as I've got the RoI league running and used its start date. My plan is to bring in a few players, primarily kids or guys I can sell in a year's time, this summer, then rely entirely on youths of my own, whether that brings relegation or whatever. Our stadium is as it is in the DB, with now edited future moves or expansion. I edited in a £1m debt to the bank to cover the youth facility. I think that covers it

Dunfermline always sign him and then dominate for years, so i figured I could sign him for a year then flog him out of Scotland.
