Hi there!
I’m new to the site and thought that I would just do a quick post explaining who I am and why I’m here. Previously I was writing on FM Crowd and upon my asking Johnny and Darren have kindly agreed to allow me to write on their site, so thanks to them. Now before I reveal who I explain which team I will be and why I’ve chosen them I’d just like to tell you a bit about myself.
My names Dan (as the title suggests) :) and I’m a college student from a town called Wallsend in Newcastle. I’m a massive NUFC supporter and have previously managed them for 3 seasons in FM11 achieving little to no success. If I had to pick one word to describe my stories it would be ‘realistic’, by that I mean I don’t tend to take over a league 2 team and within 5 seasons win the Champions League. It tends to be a long and arduous journey with many mouses and keyboards lost along the way. However I’m hoping this story will move along a little faster since I’ve chosen to manage:
This is a club with a proud history, they hold the world record for domestic titles and if I’m not mistaken have won something around the region of 113 trophies all together, which is amazing despite the quality of their league. Their stadium isn’t half back either…
The Ibrox is a fortress in real life and hopefully I’ll be able to keep it that way as well as collecting all the domestic silverware I possibly can. The real challenge comes in Europe and Rangers need to win some kind of European competition to establish themselves as a force once more, whether it be the Euro Cup or the Champions League.
So I guess that will be my overall goal with Rangers. I want to win a European cup which will be difficult considering the club has the finances of an npower Championship team.
Hopefully this little introduction has wet your appetite for a bit of a Scottish adventure!
Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the team mate, glad to have another Toon Army fanatic in my midst. You deserve to write here and the decision to accept your request was very easy :) I’m looking forward to your first journey and lets hope you take the SPL by storm. Good luck mate.

Thanks Darren, I’m definitely a Toon Army fanatic and I will be commenting on every single one of your posts from now on :) As for the SPL I don’t think I’ve got any choice but to take it by storm otherwise I’ll probably lose my job! :)

Welcome to the team mate! Glad to have another one of you Jordies around :)
Story looks interesting mate, really hope that you can get a European trophy out of Rangers as it hasn’t happened for a good while. Rangers and City fans go hand in hand really so I’m all for you getting one over the Celtic/United party.
Good luck! :D
Dan

Finally a comment without people hating Rangers ;) hopefully a European trophy won’t take too long to get :)

How could you after all the comments I put on your old blog ;) But I do hope you do well to see a Scottish team become a force in Europe… so long as Celtic do better :)
Dan
31 июля, 2011 at 21:54
I can’t promise that Celtic will do better, if that happens I may be starting a new story sooner than expected :)

Wrong choice of team, but I will still follow you :P Good luck Dan!

I don’t understand what everyone’s problem with Rangers is? Would people have preferred Celtic??? But I don’t care, I’ll convert you all! :D

lot of Rangers haters here! However, I am a proud Rangers supporter so am delighted to see a story about them on here! Good luck Dan and ignore the negative comments :)
Dan
31 июля, 2011 at 21:49
At least it shows they’re a good team to have so many people who dislike them, just like Man Utd (who I hate) ;)

Hi Dan
Greetings from Canada and welcome to the team. Looking forward to a «realistic» story and good luck as you begin to entertain us from Ibrox!
Dan
31 июля, 2011 at 21:47
Hope I can provide a realistic story in that I continue to do what Rangers do and win everything in Scotland! With a little more luck in Europe of course :)

As an Aberdeen fan this is going to be hard to follow…jokes! Good luck mate! :D
Dan
31 июля, 2011 at 21:46
All my favourite commentors (if that’s a word) seem to be supporters of Rangers’ rivals! :o ;)

Rangers have bad finances, so it’ll be interesting to see what you can do with them, they do have John Fleck though :D
Dan
1 августа, 2011 at 11:37
I’m glad I’ve got John Fleck but if Man City come in with an insane offer then I’ll flog him without a second thought :)

Another Celtic fan here, but I would like to wish you the best of luck in your story. It is only a game after all :)
Dan
1 августа, 2011 at 11:38
Thanks MRDNRA I’m looking forward to converting people to the Rangers’ cause, it kind of adds another challenge into the game ;)

Hey Dan! Welcome to the posting team…great to see another story and also a different one. Rangers are a really good side…well in Scotland anyway. I’m sure you have the skills to turn Rangers fortunes around and it will be great to see them as a top european club in the seasons to come. Good Luck bud:)
Dan
3 августа, 2011 at 12:23
Thanks Martin!
I need cash before I can turn the club around so I’m going to try and do what I can with players I have for now. I’m hoping some rich guy will take over the club and throw money at me in the future :)
