[FM 24] Return of Route One

[DrChristopher]

Hey Guys,

So I saw a short on YouTube of big Sam Allardyce griping about how all the young managers want to play tiki taka. Well this series will be in his honor. We are playing Route One and will always play route one. No matter what. Let the carnage begin! 

We are starting with the first job we could find following the 23/24 season. The Northern Irish newly promoted Premiership club Harland & Wolff Welders FC. Paul Kee got them promoted and left to greener pastures. Luckily we start early in May of 2024. So we still have some control over the summer transfer window and resigning contracts.

Club History

They are currently in their best league position ever. Despite a mixed showing in cup competitions.

Club Vision

We have one goal and one goal only next season. Stay in the Premiership. Luckily our tactic is build to endure the beating we are sure to receive after promotion.

It's almost like the board and supporters want us to play route one...

Squad (Starters Selected)

Luckily all but three of our selected starting XI are thought of by the coaching staff as Premiership quality players. However only the top 20 or so are Championship quality and above. More than that the club currently has 64 players signed. We need to pair down our spending so we can bring in the right new players that will give us some staying power.

The Tactic

With almost 8 behind the ball we are gonna have to find our chances to be positive or attacking to nab a goal. The biggest concern is all but one of these starting players needs to be resigned.

Finances

It's a good thing we are spending only half our budget for next year, but we need to be better stewards of the finances if we are going to stay away from financial insecurity.

Thanks for reading along.

Best Wishes in your own saves.

Lets go the Welders!
