Welcome to my new save - Reading Revival! The task is simple, take Reading back to the Premier League and out of the current bad situation they are in, then ultimately go that step further and start challenging for those trophies! These save updates are planned to be short and snappy, so will mainly consist of screengrabs for a quick read to see how the save is going and there will likely be an update on each in game month (excluding the pre-season). Before you start reading, go follow me on Twitter @Calv_FM
Enjoy!
The Start
So the media are predicting us to narrowly escape relegation finishing in 20th place in our first season in charge of The Royals, which if it does prove to be correct we will have met the club vision for the season of fighting bravely against relegation, so I will take that.
The Difficult Start
We have an instant hurdle to jump over from the start with the 6 point deduction due to a violation of budget rules, meaning we have an uphill climb from the off. Also being put under a transfer embargo until 31st December 2021 means we are going to have to work with the players we have currently got at the squad and no strengthening of the squad can begin until January at the very earliest. We definitely have some good talent for th first team, but our strength in squad depth is what is concerning me.
Transfers Out
A few players left Reading, but mainly youngsters who likely wouldn't be playing for us ever, the plan was no first team players to be sold in the summer window and we managed to stick to that.
Starting Line-Up
Key Players
Some really good talent in the squad which I am looking forward to develop further in the save.
New Assistant Manager
Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp comes in to be our new assistant. Hopefully he can share some of his talents with the squad!
August Results
Not the greatest start to life as Reading boss, with only two wins in the month of August and a dissapointing loss to Sutton in the Carabao Cup. Hopefully we are just getting the poor performances out the way at the start of the season and we can really start to kick on! The struggle for goals does look to be a slight concern at this stage though, but hopefully we can make our home a fortress with our two victories coming at home.
August League Table
So after the August results, we stay in 23rd but have managed to bring ourselves out of negative points, which surely is a bonus at this stage of the season. Time to start flying up the league table and maybe aim for a mid-table spot come the end of the season?
Thanks for viewing the first update of Reading Revival and I hope the short, snappy updates are something you like and will enjoy! Do go follow me on Twitter and you can also catch my full blogs of my Glory Hunter save, as well as my Youtube save called The Climb! Updates for the Reading save will hopefully come through thick and fast!
