The time has nearly come for me to start a new career in Football Manager. It’s been a fun time managing Manchester City, halfway through my seventeenth season in charge however and the novelty of being able to buy anyone I want is beginning to wear a little thin.
Cristiano Ronaldo has come and gone, so too have the likes of Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, and Kaka, and with more than 3 billion pounds having been spent out on players; I’m now well on my way to my twelfth consecutive Premier League title.
It really is all too easy, and I feel that the time has come to return to managing a team from the lower levels of English football.
Leeds United may well be my team of choice; a League One team with ambitions of returning to the Premier League. Alternatively I may opt to manage a side from the Blue Square North or South, and set myself a five year plan to take them to the Football League.
Whichever team I choose to manage I’ll hopefully be able to achieve success with, having been used to the Football Manager easy life for the last few months however I know that suddenly adapting my approach is not going to be easy.

Promoted to League One
I always thought that my team was going to hit a patch of bad form and lose the title, but that never happened; I won League Two with Havant & Waterlooville, and have gained promotion to League One.
The media prediction is that we’ll finish bottom of League One, I really don't see that happening when we so comfortably won League Two though, and feel it’s far more likely that we'll finish mid-table. I doubt we'll make the play-offs (although it would be lovely for that to happen), I do think that we'll survive for a second season in League One though, and am of the belief that my squad is strong enough to survive by some distance and provide a few upsets along the way.
It’s unlikely that I’ll ever take my team to the Premier League, I think that it’s possible to reach the Championship in the next few seasons though, and having taken charge of the club in the Blue Square South; I don’t think that’s too bad an achievement at all!
