Prelude
For a while now I have been wanting to start a story using my beloved Deportivo la Coruna. My problem, however, is that I often find myself getting bored when restricted to staying with the one club, even if it is one I love, not to mention what would I do if I got fired from that club? The story would have to end!
It seemed like a dead end but then I read this http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2015-manager-stories/182486-jamie-carragher-managers-story.html & found my inspiration.
If I cant do a story about Deportivo the club why not do a little role playing, assume the role of a club legend & take his career into the next phase?
Perfect! But who?
I thought about the team that took Deportivo to their first & only title back in 1999/2000. Diego Tristan? Roy Makaay? No, both were only at the club a few years, important players but not club legends. Juan Carlos Valeron? He was definitely around long enough but he just didn't strike me as management material. Then it hit me, it could only be one person.....
who I will name later.
For this save I will be using LFC Marshall's latest update, starting unemployed as an international footballer with NO badges & wont be applying for any jobs before the January window so that my chosen legend can at least have a little break before jumping back into football.
For anyone that has been following http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2015-manager-stories/179631-get-india.html don't worry I am not giving up or moving on, my goal is still to keep it running from Beta till FM16. I will be doing both stories, switching back & forth depending on my mood.
Hope you all enjoy!
