Looking to start a season with a league 2 side and take them up the divisions.

Anyone know how, on a mac, to minimize FM and return to the desktop, like how you would on a PC by pressing the start key? I have one of the new macbooks, if that makes a difference.

Begun my Reading season and signed Ben Watson for £1.5m. Won 4 in pre-season and drew 1. Looking forward to returning to the Premiership.

Make sure you keep a hold on Kevin Doyle. Just signed him for Everton as a replacement for Yakubu, and he's scoring plenty.

Don't worry he's going nowhere. Doyle and Lita have formed a formidable partnership in pre-season.

Still having a nightmare with Northwich Victoria. mid way through my 2nd season. First season i stayed up by 1 point, ive strengthened like mad and have Dean Windass spearheading my attack in the conference but still in the relegation spots.

They truly are terrible!!

I might start at a Blue Square North/South team. I had a decent record with them on '08.

Sutton United - Won in the play-off final against Welling and left to join Carlisle United.

Leigh - After a lot of new players came in I managed to scrape into the play-offs thanks to a late,late goal by Fabian Delph (on loan from Leeds) and won on penalties in the semi against Harrogate before losing to Hyde in the final in Extra Time. In my 2nd season we started like a house on fire winning 11 out of the first 12 before I was "head-hunted" for the Rushden & Diamonds job.

Any tips for '09?

I signed him when he was only 17. He's ok for me, does a decent job, just very inconsistent. One game he will get man of the match, next game he struggles to get a rating of 6. Although, he does have very strong compeition from Matias Fernandez and Diego Buonattoe (or how ever you spell it), so he doesn't really get a shed load of games, but hes alright.
