Portsmouth Sharks

I took control of Portsmouth Sharks at the start of Season 6. My first job was to check out my team players. Some were active but I needed to make contact with them. So I organised a forum be built for the team so that they could speak. I also advertised that I needed new players so I ended up getting a few speaking of their wish to play for my team. But in the original lineup, there was one player who had the biggest salary and I thought he was draining the finances of the club. He had to go!

I did it subtlely. I offered him a new contract with a salary which was much the same as the others. He wasn't interested and he ended up going and joining his own team, the Ipswich Brotherhood (now the Argyle Gargoyles). I started getting players with better values and I weeded out the inactive players slowly.

The first guy who contacted me said he had been playing for the team the previous season. He wanted to help the club. He made the team logo and banner which I put on the team's homepage. The team was starting to look attractive which was sure to attract more players. Although this season looks set to be just like last season with us finishing about 15th, so long as we are not relegated then I'm sure next season we will do very well!
