Ok I cbf righting a story so this is what happened.

Started unemployed with Prof. Football experience.

Got approached by St.Pauli and recently promoted Secnond German Division side. I got rejected for the Wigan job so I took it. Out of 18 teams we were expected to finish 15th. I made some really good signings (not of players I knew, just random German ones). We started pretty bad. Then all of a sudden we start winning alot. We are top at Christmas I couldnt believe my luck. Then my top player gets injured and we start to choke.

We fall out of the promotion zone briefly but get right back in there. On the final day we win at home to take top spot. The Media, club and players go crazy over me for achieving the 'impossible'. It was a really good season. Club gets a ton of money for getting into D1. But I know we diffinantly wont survive There. I make some signings, we still do poorly. At around christmas time I get approached by Shalke 04. They got relegated in the first season (WTF?) and are in bad financial debt. BAD. They had to sell 20m of players and are still in debt. I took over and completed the easy task of promotion back the D1.

By this time my rep is continental. I didn't get much money to spend so I got a new CM (pretty good) but we despretly need new defenders. 4 games in to the 3rd seasons. Top with 9 points.

Yep thats everything. I hope someone read that.

Started a randomised game which made me the manager of MK Dons (with automatic experience).
Season One in L2 ended with a tense victory in the last game of the season to clinch the final automatic promotion spot. Billy McKay of Leicester was the star performer along with a whole motley crew of youngsters and unknowns. Couldn't settle on any tactic all season and muddled through scraping wins. Very lucky.
Season Two in L1 ended with victory in the play offs. Again couldn't find a tactic that I was happy with but managed to stay in contention until the end. An easy win moved us into the last play off berth on the last day of the league season. Managed, again, to get lucky results and made it to the Championship. Keigan Parker, a Bosman from Blackpool was the star.
Season Three and I settled for a one up front tactic instead of my usual two. Parker and McKay gave me enough goals to comfortably survive but I was nowhere near the playoffs either.
Spent all my time seeking other jobs as I was frustrated looking for decent players willing to join the Dons.
Season Four and I avoided relegation by only four points. I went on a thirteen match losing streak (a personal record) and only managed to get out of the relegation zone due to a run of good results at the end. I blame the large number of Bosman signings that I utilised. The squad just failed to gel at all. Vasczak was the best signing. Although Mads Laudrup was promising.
Season Five. Vascak and Andy Welsh move to the Premiership and although I have some money I can't find players willing to join. I don't go too mad on the signings front and mid-table obscurity is achieved, Mads Laudrup is excellent and becomes club captain.
Season Six. I have 10 games to go and am in fourth place. Karamoko Cisse and Radim Martinek have come in and are firing in the goals as part of my three man forward line. AI struggled with the concept of three out and out strikers and I destroyed teams regularly. However, the failure to convert 1 v 1s and the games where my 20 shots on goal lost to their two shots on goal mean that I was never top. AI may have sussed my tactic now as the last three games have been defeats.
My reputation is now national but I am yet to be offered any of the jobs that I have applied for. Board don't seem to mind due to the success, relatively, that I have brought to the club.

Started unemployed, with automatic exp. Midway through first season, got hired by Frosinone (in last in Serie B). Couldn't mangae to avoid the drop and was sacked about two games before the end of the season.
Then given the job at Chesterfield, middle table League 2 side at that point, in the summer.

2008/09 season - Revamped the team, finished 18th (media prediction: 10th )
2009/10 - Changed the team further, finished 8th, and missed out on the playoffs thank to a last minute goal in the penultimate game of the season
2010/11 - Came 7th after being in first for most of the first half of the season. Got promoted via playoffs
2011/12 - Brought in a few new faces, and am doing well in League 1, currently 18th after 13 games
