Sam finds out what its like to be a Notts County manager.

Mark also fails to save Morecambe from the inevitable after an unfortunate end at Notts County.
Sam's FM 17 Test Career
Sam starts his FM 17 experience at Notts County, learning that it's not all glory in the world of football and that he's gonna find it much harder in FM 17.

After suffering big defeats, like a 5-1 to Luton, he quickly realised he may not last too much longer since he was missing his league targets by a significant margin.

Now at Crawley things are even worse, finding himself bottom of the league after just 5 games in charge without a win.
Sam's Tip Of The Week
When you want to give inexperienced player a chance keep stronger players nearby.  Keep other inexperienced players away.  Separating inexperienced players will leave your weak areas separated making it harder to exploit, but still giving the players a chance to test themselves.
Mark's FM 17 Notts County Career.
Mark resigns from Notts County after chairman Ray Trew says he's under-performing (8th in the league at January with a goal of 7th or higher). He threatened to resign and the chairman called him out on it.

After leaving Notts he ended up at Morecambe.  He failed to save them from relegation and finished 23rd, being sacked immediately after.

He now finds himself back at Notts County, just a year after resigning, where he found them in 16th after going through two managers. He has been able to climb four places with a better squad than when he left but everything else has gone backwards.
