ive started with dover as anyone who has read my posts will have realised..
in my first year, the board said bravely fight relegation..
each year since they've said that..
ive now moved up to.. stay away from relegation..
so i guess ive slightly improved..
im just starting my 5th season as manager.
ive preety much given up on my plan of taking dover from the conference league, to the top of the premier league. that doesnt seem so likely now.
im wondering when everyone else plays. do u strive for personal glory or team glory? i had my manager rating up to average (slipped back to poor now) 72nd amongst the english or europe or whatever it is managers was my highest i think. i assume from being in that position i may have been able to jump ship to a D3 - D1 team without a manager.. which would have been a big step up from dover. from there maybe i could have continued to improve my ranking or got into a premiership team. then possibly got myself into the top 10 or so managers in the world.
or is it better to stick with dover.. then by year 2050 MAYBE get out of the damn conference league and into D3! then maybe by year 4000 be in the premier league.. (can i die as a manager?)
anyway, seriously. my question is. take a lowly team to the top? or once uve got a rep. bugger off the lowly team and strive for personal glory?
my dover team is all very young, they are preety much all decent.. except for the midfielders. if i could have kept my midfielders tobias garcia and trond erik seathre along with frazer toms (who i still have) i could have been looking at promotion.. instead ive got peter hunt, promising youngster. chris thompson (dud) but some say he's got potential. scott oakes (overrated) adi hayes (decent) and frazer toms (preety good).. the defence is has ALOT of good players. no superstars. forwards are great. conference superstars. outside of conference though? should i stick with them? will things pick up?
