A job I don't think even hardcore LLM players would take!
Having spent almost a season unemployed, I've just taken the only job offered to me, Neuhausen. These guys are newly promoted to the Regional League West.
A few stats:
Players on the books: 0 :eek:
Backroom staff: Me and the Chairman!
Transfer budget: £0
Wage budget: £0/week :eek:
My contract: 1yr @ £0/week
They want survival. I've been in charge a day and I already want to hand in a letter of resignation!

Since I'm 3 seasons into the save already I may as well update the story so far!
Season 2007-8 - Dorchester Town - Blue Square South
Season started in mediocre fashion, with all cup involvement over by the end of November and league form patchy. An 11 game unbeaten run after Christmas brought me into playoff contention, then after defeats to Hayes & Yeading and Cambridge C, came the game of the season against Fisher at home.
After falling behind midway through the 1st half, we scored twice to take the half-time lead. We then went 3-1 up, they pulled one back, then 2 more for us made it 5-2 with 10 mins left. We entered added time 5-4 up, then they equalised. There was still time though for us to race up the other end and go 6-5 up in the last added minute!
We scored 6 again a couple of games later, thumping Bishop's Stortford 6-0, and going into the final game we were a point behind Newport in 2nd place. We beat Maidenhead 3-2, they lost 1-0 at Bromley! Champions!

Season 2008-9 - Dorchester Town - Blue Square Premier
Survival the aim, and relegation never really looked likely. Inconsistency meant I never really looked like overachieving either, so o verall there's not all that much to say about this season.
At this stage I felt I'd done all I was going to do with Dorchester, and was going to move on until I noticed I'd been in charge for 99 matches. I opted to go on for 1 more season, a decision I would soon regret...
Season 2009-10 - Dorchester Town - Blue Square Premier
So the season started with my 100th match in charge. If only the players had recognised the achievement. A 2-3 reverse at home to Stevenage set the tone for a run which saw Dorchester take just 1 point from their opening 9 games, putting them 23rd in the league. I did what I should have done at the end of the previous season and resigned.

No Cup games played.
I spent the rest of the season unemployed, and eventually got the job described in my opening post.
