Whoops, knew I forgot something!

Rebirth

John Crickson and Ken Jarvis decided that enough was enough with Ron Martin after Sainsburys decided to evict Southend United out of Roots Hall, leaving them finished. All the player's contracts got torn up, Ron Martin escaped the country and has gone to Jamaica to become a Bobsleigh coach.

Hiring staff was next. There was only one real option for the manager's position. With his in-depth posts, top knowledge and similar look to Jose Mourinho, Dave Chapman (AKA ChapperzUK) was hired instantly. The other choices were nearly as straight forward. Dagenham Kev's motivation and positive attitude got him the assistant job. Wiggy's knowledge and judgement of goalkeepers made the choice for GK coach easy. Ldnfatso became fitness coach - no need to explain why of course.

Season 1

Started in Conference South. Everyone got a chance to stake their claim for a place in the first team. Despite being called up to the England Under 21s (not been called up since!), Martin Todd didn't do well in the friendlies and Scott Peters impressed to take the number 1 spot. Other positions weren't as straight forward, but McDonough was the stand out player while Laurie and Napper built up a great defensive pairing.

First season was a dream. Won the league and got to the quarter final of the FA Trophy losing 1-0 to Halifax, who won the Conference. Roy McDonough was the stand out player being top goalscorer and player of the year award.

Season 2

Start of the new season didn't go well. Chapman (the player one not the manager) suffered from a horrendous injury and was ruled out for 10 months missing the whole season. Jon Oliff suffered an injury and other injuries during the season meaning he played little.

The result was similar to the previous season. Winning the league, semi-finals of FA Trophy and Roy McDonough being the stand out player being top goalscorer and player of the year award.

Now players are starting to get interest. Hearts are desperate to sign Leveridge, Peters and Tyldesley, with several Spanish clubs interested in Barna Blue.

Starting season 3 now, and just beat Colchester in the league - yes they got relegated twice!

What a day this must have been!
 
What a day this must have been!

Was even better when we beat them near the end of the season to knock them out the automatic promotion places, then they failed in the play-offs! :hilarious:

Finished 3rd season and promotion again. John Crickson (chairman) then sold Scott Wallace to Derby and Sam Leveridge to Hearts!!
 
After 3 seasons some favoured personalities have come up, so here is a round up:

Everyone loves the club.

David Chapman (manager) = 14 (7 from youth)
Wiggy = 4 (all youth)
Mohsni = 2
Hammond = 1
Evans = 1

not too shabby! cheers

No problem. All I did was change the attributes that were selected as strengths and weaknesses, then changed to current and potential ability for the same to everyone.
 
Oooh let's have my screenshot then - Jon Oliff. Interesting to hear I'm the team crock!
