Halifax Town story: Introduction

Hello hello! Let me introduce myself, my name is Mike Aram, I am 14 years old, and I live in Manchester. I support Man City, have done for about 11 years. I bought Football Manager 2008 back in July, as it was cheap due to the impeding 2009 version, and I had heard rumours over 2009's faults.

I began with Manchester City (of course) but as the board had high expectations, and this was my first Football Manager game, I didn't do well. In my first season I finished 17th and subsequently got sacked. I thought it was time to turn a new leaf, and started a new game with Leeds United (15 points deduction so not so high expectations). This was better as in 4 seasons, I had got Leeds to the Premier League, and had finished 15th, a good 6 points above relegation.

Then, I got pretty bored of the Leeds game, because I couldn't attract anyone to take me higher on my shoestring budget (2 million!!). So I decided to start again, this time with Halifax town. The reason I chose Halifax was because I had heard of them when I was 10, and always had a soft spot because of the banks (not the football club) entertaining adverts. I am currently just starting my second season, but I will give a recap of my first seasons exploits.

Hope you enjoy my blog!
