So CM O1/O2 it is with the NI, Scottish, English and Spanish leagues loaded. Starting at Ballymena Utd in the the Northern Irish First Division I am told to seal a mid table spot.
SEASON 1
I get this, but struggle in a very poor season, going out of the cups early and finishing 7th.

Sorry for a poor update, this was a couple of weeks ago and I can't really remember it!
SEASON 2
After a good start and coming close to promotion, I start to falter. All cups see us out early on and I am 5th in the league when I apply for the Dumbarton job. Thankfully it is accepted.
They are 9th in the Scottish Third Division with a few games left, so I tinker with tactics for now and finish bottom.

Ready for the challenge ahead, the board say they will be happy if I am to improve the club squad.
I get to work bringing in 10 players for £5k and selling even more for £180k. The squad is now ready.
We make a great start which continues throughout the season...
3RD DIV:2nd Place, only losing the title on the last day.
CHALLENGE CUP:2nd round, 2-1 home defeat to Peterhead.
LEAGUE CUP:3-0 defeat to Kilmarnock in round 2.
SCOTTISH CUP:Easily beaten 5-0 at home to Clyde in round 3.
1st division here we come...

Expected to battle bravely against relegation and even after buying 18 players, and making over £5ook on players sold, I am expecting a difficult season.
However, it wasn't to be...
2ND DIV:Champions, finishing 18 pts clear of Partick Thistle.
CHALLENGE CUP: Arbroath knock us out in the first round.
LEAGUE CUP: Killie again end our run, this time in the 2nd round with a 3-1 win.
SCOTTISH CUP: After beating Rangers 4-2 in round 3, we go out in the next round to an inspired Celtic, 6-1.
1st division football awaits.

Again lots of squad changes with the revolving door seeing the entrance of more than 10 players again, with as many leaving.
An inconsistent start becomes consistenty terrible.
DIV 1: 9th place, down we go.
CC: Out to Airdrie, round 2 with 2-1 defeat.
LC: Lose 3-2 away to Hibs in the Second round.
SC: Rangers once more and after a 2-2 draw at Ibrox in the 3rd round, a 90th minute goal sees us out in the replay 1-0.
I recieve a job offer from soon to be 3rd division side Brentford with £^m funds, and Plymouth with £1m, but decide to try and get back into the first division once more.

The board expect promotin and for the first time there is actually pressure on me. I don't fail to deliver though...
2ND DIV:Once more battle it with Partick, finishing 9 points clear to seal the title, and 21 clear of 3rd place.
CC:For once a decent run, but a 1-0 defeat at Hibs in the QF ends that,
LC: 2-1 defeat at Aberdeen in round 2.
SC:Starting to think it's a fix, once more we get a round 3 draw against Rangers. Against an almost full strength side we lead twice and it takes them an 87th minute goal to finally shake us off.
All in all, another good season and for once, a settled squad.
Looking forward to division 1 again and hopefully a better attempt at it this time, after turning down the chance of Third Division Torquay.

Enjoying it so far? That's me up to date so next update will likely be tomorrow.
Btw, is it possible for any mods to sort the season numbers mistake and add the years to each season title too please? Bearing in mind it start's in 01/02.
