Lincoln FC (Gib)
With the new Gibraltarian database add on being released I felt it would be rude not to try my hand in the league. I have always enjoyed managing in the small, obscure European league however to have a proper SI made league will hopefully make life a little easier where rules and finances are concerned.
I?ve had one or two stories on here now that haven?t really got going, mainly due to time commitments, so another bonus to this challenge is that the league only had 14 games, plus I believe a cup and a charity shield.

I?ve also always been a fan of youth challenges and not signing players, so, like my San Giovanni challenge that is the way i?m going to go again.
I?ve chosen Lincoln as they are the best and most successful team in Gibraltar?s history, and with me not signing anyone I feel the headstart i?m going to get on the other teams will give me an advantage in trying to earn Champions League prize money, first to turn semi pro and eventually to make the club the first ever professional outfit from ?The Rock?

So the club starts with a measly 62 season ticket holders who pay only 6 quid a game of 30 for the season. As expected any income will have to come from European exploits. The club plays in the 5,000 seater national stadium, however so does every other club in Gibraltar. I will be looking to move us to a new home as soon as I have the funds to do so.

The squad is the strongest in the league (not saying much) and we actually already have 16 internationals at various levels for Gibraltar. I?ve picked out some of ours ?stars? so you can see the level of player i?m working with.

This lad is a natural left winger but his stats are screaming out full back to me, i also like the fact he only has one name. Brazillian wannabe.

Sturdy right back who already has 18 full international caps to his name. Not the best going forward but top defensive stats for the level we?re at.

Bags of flair but a shame he only has 3 composure. Will be training him to blast the ball and hope it ends up in the net.

Our main youth prospect at just 17 and he already has 14 tackling. Sadly he?s not strong or brave so i?m looking to get his passing up and mould him into a play maker.
So that?s the team and a little info about the club. With the seasons only having 14 games it seems most feasible to only update at the end of each season with a report on how we?ve done, the youth intake, and anything else that I feel is interesting or noteworthy. I'll try and provide as much info as possible to make the story interesting (i'm aware seasonal updated aren't everyones cup of tea), though if you wish to see anything in particular just ask.
