INTRODUCTION
For those of you who have followed my Bilbao story this needs no introduction as I have been mentioning this for months now! lol. For those of you that didnt (why did you not read it????) then this is going to be a story of me managing my favourite team Newcastle United. I will stick with them and never change club but unlike my Bilbao story I am going to country hop like a country hopping thing!
THE DATABASE
LFC Marshalls summer update but the original one - since then I have made loads of changes but the only ability change I made was to Balotelli as he was always available for loan and I wanted to remove that unrealistic temptation in signing him.
I will load up all the English leagues as playable and several others as view only. (Incidentally the database was updated today so Lovenkrands is at Birmingham etc). I have only made 1 player which is Islam Feruz of Chelsea and from memory the -10 potential players are Neymar, Chamberlain, Muniain, Wilshere and Gotze.
AIMS/PLEDGES
To have Aberdeen as a feeder club
To win the Euros/Olympics/World Cup/Copa America and African Nations Cup
To do what Mike Ashley (more on him later) does and spend upfront - no monthly installments!!
Give youth their chance - resist temptation!! I have seen the rewards when you get it right through your squad with Bilbao and its worth it.
Become the richest team in the game etc and all that stuff that I managed with Bilbao
To refer to the stadium as ST.JAMES PARK!!!!!!!
And if at all possible get Bilbao as a feeder team eventually!
ME & NEWCASTLE

Favourite Goal: Albert chipping Schmeichel in the 5-0 win over Man Utd
Newcastle United 5-0 Manchester United 1996 - Howay 5-Oh - YouTube
FINALLY
It is going to be the same layout as the Bilbao story pretty much but I will mix it up a bit with video clips etc if I work out how to do it! I dont expect the same levels of success as I had with Bilbao for several reasons:
1. The domestic cups are not over two legs so if you **** up you dont have a get out of jail game in the 2nd leg.
2. The Spanish league is soooooooooo easy once you have overcome the big two
3. In the Spanish league you can get your B team to be competing at the division below the top league so all of your youngsters are continually developing and playing at a decent level - not to be had in England obviously.
And as in the Bilbao game I will start off with an automatic reputation and I will not go on holiday!!!!!
Anyway hope I havent offended too much peeps (unless Mike Ashley is reading this) and I hope you will follow/comment whatever!
