LA HOYA - TAKING THE BROCCOLI...
View attachment 266272
INTRODUCTION:
With the wife sunbathing by the pool at our family villa near Murcia, I've decided to give catching the rays a miss and embark on one final FM'15 save to run alongside my 'An Englishman's Adventure' story. So with the laptop plugged in, a beer in one hand and myself comfortably situated on the covered terrace area, my search for a team began.
Having played different saves in a variety of countries and mainly staying away from the big leagues, I decided that as we are on holiday in Spain, let's use that as my start point. I mentioned earlier the villa we are staying at is just outside of Murcia, so I began looking at what teams are close by and who could interest me and give me a good challenge. Now, I could've taken the easy option of being Murcia or maybe the newly formed UCAM Murcia, but after researching both teams I decided that they didn't interest me., what I wanted was a side that didn't have much history, small ground, but a squad that could compete competitively in the league, though would need some improving.
A good couple hours later and after a few more beers were drunk, I finally found the team that offered me everything that I was looking for in my new challenge and as they are situated fifteen minutes from where we are staying, it made sense to manage them.
LA HOYA LORCA CF:
After looking around on the internet for more information about the club I've decided to manage, I stumbled across something that made me realise I definitely had made the right decision(though it may of been the few beers I had consumed during the selection process).

The Murcia region has a reputation as 'the vegetable garden of Spain' and so La Hoya came up with the idea of an away kit that resembles BROCCOLI!! After winning promotion in the kits debut season, the club decided it was a good luck charm and updated it for the 2014/15 campaign, so I hope it will bring me some luck on the game too.
With the fantastic rise of SD Eibar, where they have come from the Spanish lower leagues to the countries top flight, though they were unlucky to be relegated over the weekend, I've set myself the aims of working my way up from the bottom and attempt to gain promotion to La Liga and challenge the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico, plus seeing if I can win the Champions League and become a club legend/icon along the way.
**********
I've already played through the first season, which I will update shortly, as the Wi-Fi has been down for the first few days and I was unable to post my progress. With the internet now back up and running, I really hope you will enjoy my adventure and please feel free to comment/like as I look forward to what will surely be a fun, yet challenging save.
