Sam's Football Manager 16 Notts Career Breakdown
Having taken Notts, who were under transfer embargo during his first season, from League two to League one Sam now faces the difficult second season.

He needs strikers. Plundered Man Utd for their young stars of the future and has a difficult decision to make about his goalkeepers.
Sam's Football Manager Challenge
Get a team to the highest league in their country. The rules:
Don't pay a transfer fee for any player

Loan signings are ok

Free transfers are ok

Develop youth players
Sam's Tip Of The Week
Get affiliation with a much bigger club. He's done this to great effect in past saves and continues in his Notts save. This allows him to bring in some great players without costing him a fortune.
Mark's Football Manager 17 Notts Career
After a false start on the Notts save, Mark has become addicted to building his backroom staff. Unfortunately his focus on staff meant he released two key players (Alan Smith and Mike Edwards).

The mistakes keep happening. Releasing Alan Smith means that star player Stanley Aborah has become unhappy - he'd signed on the condition the midfield would be strengthened, not weakened.
