3 seasons ago Mr. Brooks was playing non league football. Now he's scored for england.

Epic

I said he was brilliant.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Season summary, best XI and club/league records will be done next time I am on. I haven't quite got to the season changeover yet.

One other thing of note before I go... the youth and training facilities upgrade was cancelled due to lack of funds and a planned stadium expansion was reduced to just 50 extra seats costing £90,000

[SnakeXe]

Looks like wor Brooksy should be doing the business for Man Utd soon! How did he get into the England squad without playing much club football?

[AK22]

Good solid season Next year, playoffs?

[Nobby_McDonald]

Snake - No idea.

AK - Yeah, was much better than expected but disappointing missing out on the playoffs by failing to beat the bottom side. This year I'm aiming for them.

Back from holiday and the way this season is going I might end up getting FM2012 after all...

[Nobby_McDonald]

2022/3 - Newcastle Town (League Two)

It's a long, tough season

Board: Consolidate

Media: 21st

Bookies: 33-1

Season tickets: 469 (up 26)

I get another further year and this time a pay rise of £50 per week to £825.

A poor start sees us down the bottom end of the table.

A brief improvement after a while saw us climb to mid table at Christmas.

A nosedive saw us bomb back down the table and it was a very gritty second half to the season.

A short good run did ease the worries but it was a disappointing season after our Football League debut last year was so good. Typically we found a bit of form when it didn't matter over the final month or so.

Brooks Watch

Brooks was back at Manchester United and played well, making a significant contribution to their Premier League & Champions League double.

On the England front, he played well in the friendlies - England are hosting Euro 2024 so have no competitive matches at the moment.

Approaching the end of the season and just received my first job offer. Berwick Rangers, new consortium at the helm and relegated from the First Division approach me.

No thanks. If I leave Newcastle Town it's because I've been forced out and to play FM2012 which I don't have.

[Nobby_McDonald]

2023/4 - Newcastle Town (League Two)

It's where we throw away a season of great effort

Board: Avoid relegation

Media: 24th

Bookies: 40-1

Season tickets: 493 (up 24)

Another contract extension for me. This time I get an extra two years (so three to run) and a £100 pay rise to £925 per week.

Also, the training facilities improve from basic to fairly basic, the youth facilities from minimal to basic and the stadium is converted to all seated and increased slightly to 4050 capacity.

Our start is a lot better this season than last as we sit just below the playoffs.

Talbot then gets injured... and we go on a run that puts us into the playoffs. Defensive stalwart McHugh then tears his calf (missed 4-5 months) yet we still maintain our form,

A slight blip gets compensated by a 7-3-0 run and we enter the final game one point clear of Rotherham and in third play.

We then lose at home to Oxford United and away at Wrexham to throw away automatic promotion.

Into the playoffs and we lose 3-1 at home to Tranmere. The comeback of all comebacks is on as we go 3-0 at Prenton Park only to ship a goal and lose on penalties.

All that work to throw it away.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Brooks Watch

He made sporadic appearances in the league but helped a little in United winning the title. He's made a few more international appearances too and will probably make the Euro 2024 squad which England are hosting.

[Nobby_McDonald]

News not long after the season started came that the board have decided to build a new stadium. While I'm obviously delighted about this, I do wonder why they bothered converting Lyme Valley to all seated last close season. Also, I know for a fact that there is lots of room around the stadium to expand. Oh well, it will be nice and new and won't have an outdoor velodrome surrounding the pitch.

Capacity is expected to be 6867.

[SnakeXe]

Congrats on the new stadium, shame about the playoff defeat.

[Nobby_McDonald]

Thanks Snake. I felt like throwing something through the monitor when we lost promotion twice.

had a good read of this thread - I had avoided reading FM11 threads since 12, but thought i'd give it a go! Very impressive stuff. David Brooks - what a legend! That pace is just INSANE!!!

[Nobby_McDonald]

Thanks Jdrawmer. Glad you enjoy it.

I was very lucky to find Brooks. He had come into the game unattached and my scout found him. After two years, I couldn't keep him, it wouldn't have been fair on him.

So close! Very unlucky! Top scorers in the league too, I notice.

At least the new stadium is a slight sweetener I suppose

[Nobby_McDonald]

Well... in a way yes. The downside is it's hammered my transfer budget (to nothing) and my wage budget (I can't sign anyone under 21 following the National Minimum Wage in the UK). My first team squad is six players lighter for the next season, though I have kept all my main players bar one (Bigger Tshibasu) who was sold for £160,000.

The lack of goals in the World Cup, especially in the latter stages is disappointing.

[CityAndColour]

The +9 increase in Brookes' strength attribute is probably the biggest I have ever seen. Great indication as to how proper training and facilities can impact a player, and how keeping prospects through the lower leagues can stall development.

[Deisler26]

So unlucky with the playoff defeat. I'm betting on you bouncing back this season though!
