In addition to my real game managing Liverpool I decided to make a new game where I was in charge of Manchester United.

Now, most players want the usual things. The FA Cup, a Premier League title, winning the Europa league. I wanted something different...

I wanted to get Manchester United relegated.

Why you ask? For the lulz.

The intrepid Party Cat began by making the most insanely stupid formation the game of football has ever seen. 1-6-4 the game called it and it consisted of the entire team being off to the left side. He then set about his order of battle. He decided the goalkeepers should be strikers now and that our star player, Wayne Rooney, would have better luck playing as a keeper. Everyone was ordered to stick to their positions at all cost ensuring that the opposing team was given a clear line straight to the poorly manned goal. Party Cat was excited at how easy it was.

We promptly arranged a pre-season friendly and lost 32-0. Party Cat was pleased. This continued on through preseason and into the early PL matches. We lost 22-0 to Birmingham and 16-0 to Arsenal and were 20th place in the standings. Perfect, though Party Cat. He then set about trying to sell off key players, forgetting to do so in pre-season because he is new at the game. Unfortunately the board simply wouldn't let Rooney and Ferdinand go.

After losing to Chelsea about 17-3 (he was away on holiday so ManU unfortunately scored) he was fired, killing his dream of seeing Manchester United relegated. His replacement is currently doing infuriating things like playing Wayne Rooney as striker. What a nutter. He is planning another, more subtle go at it next time. While looking for another managerial position he is currently employed at a Doncaster chip shop.

Heh, sounds fun ^.^

Why not try doing it by just having bad management. So you know, keep players, play them in the right positions but have a reasonable but rubbish formation, bad team talks, criticise all your players etc.

That's how I'm doing it next time. Much more subtle and slow deconstruction. Hopefully I can get it to where I start creeping towards the bottom in Spring and then by the time of the final game I'm in relegation territory.
