"We're not a sacking club"

"Philosophy"

______

It appears that no matter how bad things continue to get Ed Woodward and the board simply refuse to pull the trigger on LVG rather disastrous spell as Man Utd manager.

So how would this work on FM...

What do I hope to achieve here?

I don't know really.

Ill use it to test tactics for more serious saves


-- Save Rules --

1. Faith in Youth
Rather, blind faith in youth. I might actually not sign a single player and play only the current MUFC squad and rely on youth graduates to refresh the ranks. PHILOSOPHY

2. Get Martial to break Sir Bobby's goalscoring records

Feel free to suggest other wee rules I should adopt along the way

In true Louis van Gaal fashion before the season has even started an injury crisis begins..

We start off with a late win at Anfield and actually managed to score some goals at Old Trafford..

But in keeping with the philosophy we fail to win more than two games in a row..

Qualification for the Champions League is secured..

Excluding PSG it looks a fairly easy group so I am fully confident we can finish 3rd and qualify for the Thursday Night Cup..

"I had no idea what 'consistency' meant as it isn't a word in my philosophy. However once I found out what consistency meant then I immediately set about emphasising that consistency has no place in the philosophy of Louis van Gaal"

..in an alternate universe.

 
2017/18

James Wilson returns from season loans at Brighton and West Brom to score from the bench.

Our self imposed transfer ban will see him remain as an important squad player.


Martial starts the season as he played last year, absolutely on fire!

I've set him a goal now

-- SMASH SIR BOBBY'S ALL TIME GOALSCORING RECORD (199 LEAGUE GOALS)--

Rooney should have broke it but he's stuck on 182.

He broke a foot and his stats have deteriorated. He's on the transfer list and misses training regularly now - FINE FINE FINE!

Almost a clean sweep of trophies.

Defeat in the Champions League to Chelsea and the very close title race shows the lack of depth to the squad.

Valencia, Young, Felliani are some of the players let go in recent windows and we are yet to see any of the youth team players really cement a first team place
 
Sorry for no new updates. I played on via the tablet but about to quit the save as FM is drunk...

Despite not making a single signing we have dominated England and Europe and I don't really know how as very few youth team players have made the step up to the first team.

Every decent prospect seems to be a striker so we have an abundance of top class strikers but barely any decent cover anywhere else on the pitch.

With Smalling, Jones, Blind, Schneiderlin etc etc all in their 30s now the squad needs a complete revamp but the academy won't allow it unless I play De Gea in nets and 10 strikers!

I'll concentrate on my created club career

-- London Irish --

and maybe start up a proper long term save that will include the Pentagon challenge as I do every year. TBC
