2019/20 - Newcastle Town (Conference Premier)

It's goodbye to our best ever player

Board: Consolidate position

Media: 20th

Bookies: 40-1

Season tickets: 231 (up 5)

Another one year contract extension for me.

We make a great start, winning our first four games before a defeat at Woking. This form continues and we top the table after a dozen played.

By halfway and the league is tight with seven teams spread over a seven point difference.

My 500th game in charge at the club is a 3-0 home win over York. This leaves us in 2nd place after 30 games, behind Burton.

Into the new year and we stutter a little as Burton pull clear and really hit their stride.

Despite a very strong finish, Burton seal the title with a comfortable four games to spare, the same day we secure a place in the playoffs which started with an amazing 5-5 draw at Woking...

YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR

David Brooks

Following the season, David Brooks makes his move to Manchester United and I hope he establishes himself at the top level. He has been tremendous for Newcastle Town in the two seasons he has played for me.

It's a shame Brooks never made it on to the All Time Best Eleven. I expect he out-scored both the strikers on there, but didn't play enough games.

Knocking on the Football League door again, it's difficult when there's only one automatic promotion place though. Better luck next season :thup:

Just an idea Nobby, but I noticed when doing my own tables that when you bold or italic something that is coded it is not that easy to see. A bit of colour or something else might work better.

He outscored Emilsson but not Rushton.

I don't do knocking, just banging.

Might change it for the next update then, though I've never tried colour before.

Bad luck in the playoffs Nobby.

How do you think you will do without Brooks next season. Surely its going to be almost impossible to replace him?

I have a very good idea since I'm in March. You guys will just have to wait for a bit. ;)

2020/1 - Newcastle Town (Conference Premier)

It's where we forget about David Brooks

Board: Respectable position

Media: 12th

Bookies: 33-1

Season tickets: 243 (up 12)

Another one year contract extension for me. Elsewhere, Histon turn professional.

Before the season starts, a (startling?) realisation. The two oldest players in my entire squad are just 25 while the average age of the first team is just 20.

Early on we struggle for goals without Brooks but we do grind out results.

Come halfway and the goals are going in and we're up to second place, chasing Histon. A good cup run sees us knock out Chesterfield at B2Net Stadium. They finished mid table in League One.

With a quarter of the season left things are tight. Four points seperate the top four with us in fourth place.

We then stuttered into the playoffs by losing three out of the last four, prior to which we are placed under a transfer embargo pending a takeover.

In the playoffs, we have Woking again and it's another classic. Winning 3-0 at home in the first leg, we are 3-0 down at half time in the second leg before rallying back to lose 4-3 and go through 6-4 on aggregate, where we will travel to York and a crowd of 4060.

Thank you very much guys.

Delighted with promotion. While I knew Talbot was good as he played for some of last season, I didn't expect him to replace Brooks as well as he did.

I've fixed the video.

And yeah... Forest and Mansfield... though the Forest result was hardly a surprise.

My long serving Assistant Manager retired at the end of the season, he has been with me since the start.

Shame Brooks didn't play more often at United this season. I would expect him to be farmed out on loan if he wasn't getting regular appearances, otherwise is development is really going to stall.

Top work on the promotion, seems the board have a bit of ambition too :thup:

Brooks was listed for loan and there was interest but I was the only team to offer which was accepted only for Brooks to refuse to come back.

Splendid season there Nobby. Congrats on the promotion and welcome into the Football League proper :thup:

Shame Brooks left, but he looks to be way too good for your level anyway. Would be nice to see him make the grade in United though, or elsewhere in the Premier League.

How much capacity have you got now after the upgrade of the stadium?

Youth recruitment network improvements have been completed and are now rated basic.

takeover-1.jpg

The new chairman is a bit of a mixed bag in the early going. Firstly he cancelled the link with Manchester United which had seen us playing an annual pre season friendly. Then he's allowed more money for wages and more staff (though they will tie in with being in League Two) before he did this.

Our first match is the Football League is watched by 2778, probably made up of around a thousand Newcastle Town fans, around a thousand from London and around a thousand Stoke City fans curious as to what their little neighbours are up to.

2021/2 - Newcastle Town (League Two)

It's where we become the second best team in Staffordshire

Board: Fight bravely against relegation

Media: 24th

Bookies: 16-1

Season tickets: 443 (up 200)

I get another further year and this time a pay rise of £125 per week to £775.

In our first Football League game, 2778 come to Lyme Valley to see us beat Leyton Orient 3-2 thanks to a Talbot hat-trick. A dream start.

This continues but we slip to mid table in October.

However, form is strong and consistant only for a final day draw at home to Hartlepool sees them relegated and us miss out on the playoffs.
