Hi All

This is my first post on this site, so I thought I would make it one that would break me in gently. I have just started a new game with 8.02 patch as Darlington, I have very little money, not a very good squad and poor coaching staff and I wondered if anyone else as had success with Darlington, if so how. Also could anyone suggest any good freebies who may join Darlington as their rep is about 3800, so I am finding it difficult to attract players. I am undertaking this challenge at my sons request, he does not think I can succeed with Darlington, any help would be superb.

You'll succeed. Im 13 and im doing superb with Darlington. This is what i did.
1) Get rid of every coach and assistant manager. Replace them lol. However its optional. Use Tugs Training, you can download it at this site.
How To get Good Staff Members It will help you...

2) Sign players.
FM08: Players For League 2 <- BTW players are for 8.0.1 patch (I like it better) so some info might not be right...

I told the board that I would win the league (for more money) I then would lower my wage budget by around 2k, and it will increase the fundings to buy players. Board Room - Budget Adjustment if you dont know how to do this.

3) I suggest u get good keepers, a CB, LM, and a forward. Always sign Alex Fernandez. Tommy Hoiland if u can get him mate.

4) Stats with Darlington (me) I nearly finished a season, homework slowing me down but this is how good im doing:
Quarter Finals VS ???? in FA Cup
JPT North Final VS Crewe
1st IN The League by 12 points
Knocked out of League Cup first round

You may find you want to replace nearly the whole squad. Keep in touch with my story, im updating stuff on my Darlington team.
