I was playing as Bradford City, got them into the championship from League 2 within 3 years and told the board I'd be safe from relegation. A few big offers from clubs higher up the table unsettled almost half the team to which they were starting to lose confidence in me so I resigned.

I was then approached by Leicester city who were bottom of the Championship with 10 games left. I managed to drag them out and finished in 17th.

I then told the board I'd aim for the playoffs, to which they gave me 2 million to spend on players (poor for a championship club). Managed to get some cracking players in on the cheap who've taken me to an automatic promotion spot and then beat Ipswich on the final day of the season, 4-2 to overtake them into 1st.

So now I'm in the premiership (haven't started yet as I'm still in the summer screens where it takes forever) and Leicester have a debt of 700k.

Looks like the premiership is going to be a huge slog but nevermind, I'll clear some players out who are championship level and not capable of the premiership and hopefully I'll end up with some funds.

I'm still on 08 and have taken Accrington up from L2 in my second season. Have had all of 2k to spend over the summer. I've won 1 out of 5 in L1 so far, losing the other 4. I've got some good players in on loan, but my own players are pretty much to a man - garbage in this division. I'll struggle to stay up this season I think.

Bored of my game, i might let it run a year whilst I'm on Holiday (already mentioned in a press conference i have fell out of love with football ) whilst i have put some money into Warrington (kinda) on there and go watch every so often (kinda).

Or... Resign from Man Utd and watch the team disappear...afterall they all have a manager release clause
