The Start of something Big - FMFormation.net - Football Manager

adamjigey · 25-05-08, 09:36 AM

I had just came home from work, when i decided to go and buy a newspaper, i hadent checked any of the news today, so i thought it would allow me to catch up. So i went to my nerest shop, which was One Stop, brought The Sun (Newspaper) and walked back home. On the way home, i turned to the back page usally where the sport is, and it read

At 11:00 last night Preston North Ends Paul Simpson, has resigned from the club, due to personal ressons, we wish him the best in his future.

I felt sorry for Preston, they were a club heading in the right direction, and now there star manager has left. I rang my Dad to tell him, and even he was shocked, then i told my mates about it.

I then had a mad idea, which could work.

Maybe (me) Adam Scarpellini, could become Preston Manager, so with the job, being avaliable until next week, i rang up the coaching and managers place, to see if i could get my coaching badges, i already had one for Physio so i was moving the right direction. They arranged for me to go to the FA and train to become a manager. So after a long three days, the results..... and

i had passed, and had the required badges to coach Preston. I got in touch with Preston FC and asked to be there manager.

A Few hours later, the phone rang, i raced to the phone, but on the way i slipped over and banged my leg on the concreate floor, i was in pain, but managed to lean over to pick up the phone, but it was only my Nan, telling me she was in Italy, i siad nice news nan, and put down the phone. Now needing to ring 999, due to mum and Dad being out, i mean im only 16, and i could be the youngest manager ever. So i went to Hospital and i had broken my leg, and would be in cast for 4-6 weeks. Anyway.... i got home, checked my phone and there was a message saying, Adam Scarpellini, ring back as soon as possible. So i rang back, and it was the Preston Chairmen, and he said Adam Would you like to be the Preston Manager, so i rang him back and agrred now all i needed to do, was sign the contracts and face loads of Interviewers.

Against all odds, Adam Scarpellini has been named as the Preston North End manager, he beat of Paul Jewell, to sign a 3 year contract,

Interviwer: So Adam, 1st thing how your leg (laughing)

Adam:it wont stop me from manging, and i would like to say i am hoping to START SOMETHING BIG at Preston, and i hope to have the fans full support, all season long,

Thank you for your time Adam.

I was in all the newspaper, photos of me everywhere, and now i started as Preston North End manager today.

So i looked at the squad to see what areas needed streghend, and after a long July, i brought these players.

Neil Eardley - 375,000 from Oldham
Bogdan Stancu - 1.7 Million
Kasper Schmeichal - Season Long Long from Man City
Darly Murphy - 325,000 - Cheap i now he was transfer listed.
Stephen Wright - 900k from Sunderland, cheap aswell.

The Player i have sold

Chilvers - to Millwall - for 190,000
Dylan Adam - 3 Month Loan - to Huddersfield
ST. Ledger - 425,000 - to Bristol City
Dylan Adam - then sold - 9,000

Now one of my Star player Neil Mellor was unhappy at the club due to all the player coming in, so he asked to be transfer listed, so

Neil Mellor - to Swansea- 1.2 Million

Pre- Season

Preston 3-0 Marseille

Livingston 0-2 Preston

Bury 1-3 Preston

Exeter 2-1 Preston

Sligo Rourss 1-0 Preston

Preston 0-5 Everton

I am delighted with how Pre-Season has gone, and me the staff and the players are all ready to start the season off, the new signings are great, and i have even formed a friendship with DAVID MOYES, after the game we went out to eat, and we have bouned well.

Mckenna named Captain
Hill named Vice- Captain

Coca- Cola Championship

Preston 1-0 Sheff Utd

New Preston signing Stancu scorers and amazing goal, in the 84 minute to give Preston as well deserved opening day victory, over former Premiership side Sheff Utd, who even had Former Villa star, Lee Hendrie sent off, ( by the way Adam a Aston Villa fan)

In that Game Darly Murphy got injured and is out for 2-3 months.

League Cup

Preston 3-0 Rothernham

Another great display from Adams side, as Stancu scores twice in the 24th and 32nd minute, also Chris Brown scored after 26, Minutes.

Preston North End draw MK Dons away in League Cup 2nd Round. Also Adam Scarpellini, is delighted with his side, and he hopes of ganing promotion to the Premiership.

Ill have updated below

**Hartynips** · 26-05-08, 07:16 AM

Some good results there adam, and the story (If still sounding a bit rushed) is coming along nicely.

Take the time to check it over before posting but otherwise good work mate and nice use of Ru's GFX

adamjigey · 26-05-08, 09:49 AM

So after a fantastic start, MK Dons went to Leicester with full confidence of a victory, it was the day before the game, and i decided to go for a walk, thinking in my head what tactics shall i use, what team shall i play etc. When suddenly a mad Preston fan runs up to me gives me £10,000 pounds and runs off. Weird! so as i was walking home, looking at the £10,000 pounds in the brief case, a copper pulls me up and says, im arresting you on sespicion of theft, you do not have to say anythink, but anythink you do say may be giving in evidence. I screamed what have i done, and they ignored me and bunddled me into the cop car to go to the station to be asked questions. I got there and they sat me down in a room, with the tape.

Police man: So Adam, what do ypu call this

Adam: What do you mean

Police Man: This is the £10,000 pounds stolen from the bank

Adam: What!

Police Man: You know what i mean

Adam: Now a mad Preston fan gave it me for being there manager

Police Man: Description please

Adam: He was tall, dark hair, in a preston shirt, and white traniers.

Police Man: Hope in the police car with me and we will see if we can find him.

So we drove around Preston, trying to find this thief. After 1 hour, the copper said, well you took it your going down for it, Suddenly out the corner of my eye, i saw him, that mad preston fan, and i said hey copper there he is. So the cop ran over to him and asked him, have you stolen this, the man said what you gonna do about it.

So he ran away, fortunalty my broken leg was out of cast, so i ran after him, and got him, infact he was a Leicester City fan, and he gave me the money because he was scared Preston where going to beat Leicester tomorrow.

What a mad Afteroon.

Leicester City 2-0 Preston

So a dull game for us, they were the better side and that bloke has cost us, well maybe leicester played the better football, with from Charlton star Kisichev scoring.

Preston 0-3 Wolves

The Worst display by Preston ever, and when things started well, they are going to pot.

So after 2 poor results, we were in troble, but its only the begining of the season so plently of time for me to turn it around.

MK Dons 0-0 Preston
3-2 pens

look at the image

Preston boss Adam Scarpellini, is dissapointed with the ay his side have been playing, in an interview earlier he said,
"I am dissapointed and things need to change aroudn here, if im to still be manager next season"

[img=http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/2044/cocacolachampionshiplearc6.th.jpg]

So its the end of the month and we are sitting in Relagation zone, that not good enough, so i deciced to change everythink around.

Preston 4-1 Norwich

A brilliant performence by Preston, who opened the scoring with now loan signing Victor Anichebe after 18 minutes, evans leveled it up for Norwich, before Richard Chaplow scored after 21 minutes, Then 2 more goals from Anichebe conmpleted a Fanstastic display and a Hat-Trick 4-1 Preston, and they derserved more goals.

Plymouth 2-2 Preston

We were winning 2-1 and in the 95th minute they score a goal which was miles offside THAT HAS COST US, you know, but im looking to bounce back.

Preston 2-3 QPR

Southampton 1-2 Preston,

one positive and one negative result, but we were 2-0 up against QPR, so we basically let the lead slip.

Also Victor Anicebe wins Young player of the month.

Preston 4-0 Cardiff

Well what can i say, we were brillaint they were poor.

Colchester 5-2 Preston,

to be honest i am annoyed by this result, Colchester bottom and they go and thrash us, look

The rest of Prestons resuts, ( the first number is Prestons goals scored in that game.)

So far this season, i have had many ups and may downs, now thats what its like being a managr you win some, you lose some, and to be honest, we doing ok i guess.

November 1st

Also i would like to say well done to Stancu for winnign young player of the month.

I will update below soon guys

**evertonfan** · 26-05-08, 10:01 AM

**Hartynips** · 26-05-08, 12:14 PM

adamjigey · 26-05-08, 03:19 PM

Aarontheblue · 26-05-08, 06:20 PM

KUTGW!!

adamjigey · 27-05-08, 09:46 AM

So with 2 and a half months of the season left, i quickly made some loan signings.

Charlton Atletic Transfers

Tobias Mikaelsson - loan - Aston Villa
Jem Karacan - loan - Reading
Neil Eardley - loan - Peston

Now its intresting, because Adam has signed one of his old player in Neil Eardley from Preston. So Adam why sign your former player on-loan

When i was at Preston, Neil was a young and Exciting player, and i thought i would give him the chance at Charlton, to show what he can do. Also i would like to add, i have just missed Out on Signing Danny Simpson and David Nugent on-loan, but the loan transfer market closes soon.

So with 3 new addations to the squad, my first match in charge was away, to Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace 2-4 Charlton Atletic (Live on Sky Sports 1)

Adam Scarpellinis, 1st game in charge was a great one. But it started off badly, when Ben Watson put Palace ahead after 4 minutes. But Andy Gray, leveled for Charlton on 12 minutes, Darren Ambrose then put Charlton ahead, before Gray scored again, so 3-1 to Charlton at the break. Then Gray missed a Penalty for Charlton, then James Scrowcroft popped up with a goal just after the hour mark. But after some Great attacking movements, 1 minute from normal time, Hector Sam, popped up with a marvellous goal, to seal a 4-2 win for Charlton.

Adam how was your first game in charge?

You now, it was Great to win my firt game in charge, and to be honest we were the better side, credit to Neil Warnock for saying make the best team win, but we got the goals and we now going to challange for the Championship.

So life at Charlton seemed great, and at least i havent broke my leg, or had £10,000 pounds giving to me by a thief, but we must keep this up, and I am pleased to say TIM FLOWERS is my new assitant manager at Charlton.

Stoke 0-3 Charlton

An easy win for Charlton, as they continue to perform under new boss, Adam Scarpellini, Luke Varney put Charlton ahead on 9 minutes. Then Charlton pressed, and got the 2nd in the 68 minute through Andy Gray. Then just before full-time Andy Gray scored to make a perfect 3-0 win, and Charlton were now 7 points from the top, with 4 games to play.

So looking at the league table, Charlton were doing great, and if they keep on winning, who noes where there end up, maybe 1st.

Ring Ring Ring Ring Hello Adam its your Cuz,

Adam: Oh hey, so you rining up about how well im doing with Charlton.

Cuz: Yea your doing brilliant, i always new you would do it,

Adam: Yea, i got tickets for you to come and watch, ok.

Cuz: Ok thanks your a legend bye.

So my cuz is coming to Watch us play Sheff Utd,

Charlton 2-2 Sheff Utd

So a draw and derserved for both teams, Charlton took the lead, when Gray scored after 20 minutes, then Rob Hulse equillised, before, Montogomery looked to have won it for Sheff Utd, but Karacan popped up, with, goal of the season, well it was a fab strike from the 20 year old. Then in the dieing minutes Charlton miss a Penalty through Gray, Unlucky is what i say.

1st of all i would like to say, my cuz was at the game today, and he enjoyed it, but the thing is we lost, so he went mad, and a guy net to him, my cuz split his tea and it burnt the man, silly child, anyway for the game, i think we played great Football, and we derserved to win in my opinion, but that football for you.

Manchester United not going to renew Fergies Contract

This is an incredible story, Fergie not being offered a new, deal, well favourites for the Job include myself, (Adam) McClaren and others.

Interviewer: Would you like the Man Utd job

Adam: Im focused on Charlton and i will decided in the future.

Charlton 2-1 Burnley

Well, what a game, its started with a red card for Keene of Burnley, But Charlton KP Boateng put them ahead, on 29, then doubled it on 32. But after long spells of presure from Burnley Jordan was able to slot home, some pride for them.

Charlton 2-0 Preston

Adam returns to his former club, to beat them, 2-0 with goals from Luke Varney (41) and Ambrose (90)

Adam declined to comment about his former club.

Leicester City 2-6 Charlton Atletic

Knowing a win would secure a play-off place, Charlton made sure of it. with 4 goals from Darren Ambrose, and Gray and Varney scoring, Charlton were 6-0 up. But Okaley and Howard restored some faith.

I am Delighted to of rechead the play-offs, as i think we a great side, who derserved everythink we got this season, bring on promotion.

Charlton 1-2 Wolves

Last day heartache for Charlton, who finish 5th and a play-off game against Crystal Palace, who had been beaten 4-2 by them already. But in this game Ambrose scored, but edwards and Ebanks-Blake ensure Wolves horrfic season, ends on a high note.

With days to the play-off Semi Finals 1st Leg, Adam Scarpellini, is sending every fan who going to the game a signed book, with all the players, and all the Charlton, team, photots., also one lucky winner will meet the squad, in July.

Charlton 1-1 Crystal Palace (Live on Sky Sports 1)

A great game for the Neurtal fans, Andy Gray put Charlton ahead on 14 minutes, and after some great defending, Fletcher scored a costly goals for Palace, and the 2nd leg is important game.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Charlton

2-2 Agg

So a end to end game, where Kuqi put Palace ahead, but a penalty from Gray leveled it for Charlton, sending the game to Extra-Time, but was the Penalty a harsh decision, well Graham Poll made it, so its his call, anyway so it Went to Penalties.

Penatly Shootout

1st. Kuqi - Crystal Palace - Scores

1st. Varney - Charlton - Scores

2nd. Morrison - Crystal Palace - Scores

2nd. Gray - Charlton - Scores

3rd. Watson - Crystal Palace - Scores

3rd. Ambrose - Charlton - Scores

4th. Derry - Crystal Palace - Scores

4th. Thomas - Charlton - Scores

5th. Butterfield - Crystal Palace - Missies

5th. Sam - Charlton - Scores

CHARLTON ARE THROUGH TO THE PLAY-OFF FINAL AT WEMBLEY

Interviewer: Adam contragulations your through to the final, it must be a dream come true?

Adam: Oh you know its a great fealing, i mean look behind me you can here the fans sining and dancing, and i would like to say a Special thanks to Dean (Evertonfan) he a friend of mine who has supported me through this, and also to (liveru) another friend of mine who has made Graphics for me, like a programme on an interactive white board, where you can move the players, so i showed my players and thats helped them alot.
