My expierience.
Hey,
I have been with "Barrow" from the Blue Square Bet Premier for 7 in-game years.
These were my table results;
Blue Square Net Premier - 2nd - Achieved Promotion,
After a few renovations, obviously not much cause' the transfer fund recieved was awful.
nPower League 2 - 1st,
This i must say was a tremendous feat and took a whole season of changes to tactics and players.
nPower League 1 - 8th,
To get 8th in League One was also an achievement for my team, the better part was some of my player were not better known
and i had a steady transfer ratio.
nPower League 1 - 1st,
This mainly came because of Transfers, due to selling players i had more funds to buy new players also a lot of tactical changes.
nPower Championship 4th - Did not gain Promotion,
Again another tremendous feat, to be perfectly honest with you i do not know how i managed to get so high must have been luck i suppose, i did not make very many tactical changes for this season.
nPower Championship 24th,
Now this is the main reason i decided to post, as you can see from my previous run of good fortune disaster has struck, now the reason i think i failed this season (although im not too sure) is because i sold my 2 main strikers (Just so you guys know i used "David Goodwillie from Dundee Utd" and "Steven Naismith from Glasgow Rangers") by the time i had sold them the transfer window had shut so i was down to using the two youngsters i had previously bought "Jamie Glasgow" and "William Ankarhake" they were both moderatly good but couldn't uphold the previous strikers records. However i got 9m for Goodwillie and 7m for Naismith.
nPower League 1 - 1st
As we can see my team without my strikers is clearly League 1 Material but not Championship Material at this point.
However the 16m i had i spent on "Salomon Rondon" who is an absolutely world class striker, you must buy him.
And he scored his 65th goal on the last game of the season. 65! For a league one team that is insane.
And to finish with the Seventh year.
At this point in time i am 2nd in the Championship with only a few games to go, i am also at a 1 Game advantage and the top team have a 6 point lead, i personally think that this is my time to shine in the premier league i will let you know.
But obviously i posted for a reason and my point is this,
Tactics ;
They must change you cannot and i repeat CANNOT use the same Tactics all season.
Training ;
This is how i cope with training for the first 3 Months of the season have the training at Intensive then change to Medium the changes are phenomenal.
Players ;
No matter what players you have Wayne Rooney , Lionel Messi , Kaka , Cristiano Ronaldo they need a a break, when looking at large player make sure you have double funds for example, when you buy Rooney you need to buy someone equally as good to take his place on breaks, or injuries.
Morale ;
If your players morale is low , publicly praise them then privately praise them, this is key to keeping your players positive and motivated.
Contracts ;
Nobody brings this into perspective ever, but personally every season i offer all my players a new contract with around
£250 - £500 pay rise, NEVER say YES to any of the clauses they can destroy your team.
Youth ;
This is not for everyone but i concentrate on youth my team has loads of 15 - 19 yr olods playing and a few above but youth is important especially for the likes of me, as in the 7th year of the game not many well known players are still around so Youth is key in my opinion.
Last but not the least imporant ;
The Gaffer ;
Success comes from one point in the whole game, YOU.
To win you must be fair, don't be bias towards new players and you will succeed you must impress the board and the players to succeed, i hope this advice helps now go out there and win the Championship.
