Entry 1 - Conception.


Rod Pole, a made up Football Manager.


Hello, I am Rod Pole, a non-existent football manager in a game called Football Manager 2013. This blog is a fictional tale of the life and times of Rod Pole and how he overcomes the difficulties of the footballing world.

Okay, so first a few things about myself, as you may have guessed my name is Rod Pole and I am not real, but that is unimportant. What is important is that I manage a football team within a game (Football Manager 2013) and I post about it within this blog. This means that you, the reader, will have prime access and will be able to experience first hand the highs and lows of my life.

I am going to set out a few rules for my time on this blog.

  1. I will always win.
  2. I will never lose.
  3. If I break the first two rules, I will rise from the ashes.
With those formalities aside, we can get in to the deep end. First off let's create my life. It will be within FM classic, because with it and the blog, I don't have time for the longer one. 

My life will take place in FM classic, because with it and the blog I will not have enough time to exist. The 3 countries will be England, Spain and France. 

Let's get to creating me, I am 30 years old, Irish and most notably a former international player, I will show no bias in picking a favorite team, that's for the imagination.

The TEAM.

All right, this is the bit you have been waiting for since you read my first words. Who will he manage? Why am I so excited? You are all thinking while you sit biting your nails. Well your questions can stop right now, because I can reveal with no reservations that I will be managing... Liverpool.

Now before all of you Untied fans instantly click off in disgust. United are too easy and boring right now, with Liverpool you get almost all you get with Utd but with the added extra of a good and engaging backroom story. This is just the beginning of a long and glorious tale. I am Rod Pole and we have liftoff.

Come back soon and we will have the first game, transfer dealings and my tactical insight.
