Well the poll is now closed and many thanks to all of you who took the time to vote for my next Football Manager Story. I was totally astonished by the number of votes cast which in the end was a massive 241 and way more than I had anticipated. So, without further ado my new team is Plymouth Argyle of League 2 status.
The voting was pretty much a two-horse from the outset between Plymouth and Weston S Mare with my preferred candidate Ipswich coming in third. Still, I’m delighted with the choice and very much looking forward to this new challenge.
Final Results:
I did load up a Plymouth FM2011 game just to give me an idea of what I could be facing in three weeks time and if that is any indication to go by then I really do have my work cut out especially from a financial standpoint.
Well, back to my Southampton save and thanks for taking the time to read this special update.


It will be a good challenge, looking forward to it!
Yes, mee too!
You’re in for a torrid time Kevin, but nevertheless it will be an extremely interesting challenge.
Yikes!!
I don’t like the sound of that
I think Plymouth will be a good team to manage Kevin. Certainly a challenge but it would be interesting to see how far you take them.
Hoepfully to the EPL though I think it will take some time.
Its a challenge but i think your going to do well. I look forward to it
I hope so…thanks!!
It will be frustrating but will be fun.
Really? I hope it won’t be too frustrating…LOL!
Hi Kevin,
Looking forward to it. With all the new features around in FM12, bet it will be an enjoyable experience.
Hello Lye
Totally looking forward to the new version…I hope I can figure it all out!!
Will surely be a very intersting story Kevin, looking forward to it
Well I hope I can make it an entertaining one
It will be a good story Kevin difficult though with there awful finances
Thanks George. The finances looked horrible on FM2011!!
Hi Kevin, Plymouth are a good choice, I remember I had a great game managing them, it was FM 08 if I remember well.
I won the ECC thanks to Dalibor Volas, nice memories…
Good luck!
Hi paine!!
Looking forward to the challenge though I think my FM abilities are not quite as good as yours so don’t expect an ECC trophy from me
Good luck. Plymouth are in severe financial difficulties so managing them would be a real challenge. It’s unfortunate that you can’t dip into your own salary to help the club (a la Peter Reid)
. Looking forward to it
:):):)
Thanks Nicholas!!
Based on all the comments it looks like I’m in for a very tough time so I’d better start thinking about a strategy now I guess?
