    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Well, after some busy summer transfer markets in the previous season, this one was quite calm. The only problem was the Premier League teams trying to get Wilde, but I managed to keep hold of him. Onto the arrivals: Noqazo and Koivu joined our club on 9 June, along with another guy who I...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Well, for the surprise of all, we made it through the playoffs! Huddersfield lost their match against West Ham by 4-3 and we managed to beat Wigan, in a match where we were in control. We faced Cardiff, a very capable side, and lost both matches. To be fair, I never expected to achieve...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    April was a good month overall, where we almost beat all teams above us, only losing to Stoke. The team played better, but against Stoke we only lost it due to set pieces, suffering two goals from the same CB. Our good run and Huddersfield's poor form made us have a chance in the last match...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Ah, and I forgot this: Bryan Wilde made into the England U19 squad, being the first player home-grown at Altrincham to play in a national team! After that, 15 teams were behind him, so I signed a new contract until 2030 with him. He's now in a clear development and is a very valuable squad...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Well, March wasn't better either... We started the month hoping to end our run by defeating Salford, who was in the relegation zone, but we were easily beaten. A 1-0 defeat to Swansea followed, where the team didn't play any better (despite my change of formation), but impressively, after I...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Well, the month of February was exactly how I predicted: terrible. After that win against Luton, we couldn't get any positive result afterwards. We actually did well against Sheffield Wednesday, but they grabbed a late equalizer which may have damage our morale a little bit. We weren't that...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    STRUCTURE As for the team, we are constantly trying to improve the structure and the youth setup. Even though we reached an "Exceptional" academy coaching, our youth recruitment is still at "Good", so I'm trying to get a decent position this season to raise funds to my youth setup, which was...

    STRIKERS 17 - Pape Camara: Joining this summer on a free from PSG, the French boy is very good when it comes to opening space and is our top scorer so far. However, I'd wish his finish to improve soon, since he scores a lot but misses a lot of chances too. 21 - Juan Manuel: He joined us on a...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Well, after some time out (sorry about that), I could return to the save and play some more. We are currently in February 2026, with our season being a "rollercoaster ride" so far. In this post I'll detail more about the squad, including our summer/winter transfers. SQUAD GOALKEEPERS 1 -...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Chapter Six: 2024-25 League One (again) After the disappointment of not getting a back-to-back promotion last season, we finally managed to be more clinical in the transfer market and get some stability in the squad, giving more opportunities to those who were already at it. The youth...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Chapter Five: 2023-24 - League One After an impressive first professional season, the club went to League One not well-established and a lot of the players opted to leave due to the club's low reputation. So, rebuilding again, I guess. With the squad being out of depth and with the quality line...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    It's amazing so far, the players respond very quickly in every match, aside from my formation being set on gengepress with a positive approach + retaining possession, which makes the team very aggressive and forward-thinking, which is great to see (so great that the board used my initial...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Chapter Four: 2022-23 - First professional season Now finally in the professional football for the first time in the century (and in the club's history, I think), the team turned professional (it was always semi-pro) since it was a requirement from the league, and I signed a new two-year...

    Altrincham FC: from the Vanarama North to... the Premier League (?)

    Chapter Three: Season 2021-22 Now definitely in need of a revamp to achieve promotion, I dipped into the market to search for some more young blood to updgrade this squad. Even though I didn't win the league, the season was very exciting... The transfers Some good names joined the club in the...
