Preston North End Football Club

I've chosen to take over the management of Preston North End. The Lilywhites are among the most historic clubs in the history of English football. They were the first champions of the Football League, winning the title in 1888 without a defeat. They achieved a double by winning the FA Cup without conceding a goal; their successes of '88 earned them the title of "The Invincibles."

Such stars as Sir Tom Finney, Bill Shankly, and Tommy Docherty played in Preston colors. Finney was a local lad, dubbed the "Preston Plumber," and a statue in his honor stands outside Deepdale Stadium, where the club has played since the nineteenth century.

I love a club with history, and the Lilywhites certainly have that. My goal is to bring the football fans of Preston a club they can be proud of, one that gives local lads a chance to live out their dreams of becoming the next Tom Finney.
