Newcastle

After being inspired by fellow manager Marvin Yip, I went to start a new game in FM with Newcastle.

I have never been a fan of Newcastle because they are an underachieving club. However, it seems that this is the perfect time to lead them. They have just been relegated, are in need of a new face lift and in need of some leadership. Similar to Yip, when the board was undergoing a takeover, my job was on the line. However, I am very certain I will be able to persuade them to let me keep my job.I immediately got to work offloading the bad apples of the squad. I have always disliked Joey Barton as he is a bad influence, so I didn't had any hesitation selling him immediately. Geremi and Cacapa were also not needed so off they went.
I'm looking to sell some of the old players that are on massive wages like Duff, Viduka and Alan Smith. I was quite disappointed with Alan Smith. I used to look up to him when he was at Man Utd, but he has been letting me down in recent games, shooting wide and missing good chances.

I bought some youth players to replace the older ones, with an eye for the future. In came Mark Beevers, Danny Rose and Frederico Laurito. I wanted to buy a midfield centre, but couldn't find any good ones. While I was browsing the Barcelona youth team I saw this young striker called Ruben Rochina. He was on the transfer list for only 2,000 dollars ! That is dirt cheap.

I'm quite happy with this discovery and I already have Martins tutoring him.

The job has been quite taxing on me, and I find myself very tired/lazy to meet Limin nowadays. Hope she understands. Finally, I hope that FM will take my mind off some depressing matters.
Fighting!
