Rebuilding Blackpool

[savan21]

Great start to the Prem mate! Looks like you'll finish mid table which will bring in some good cash! Nice to see the faith in young players too (Powell!)

Thanks mate! I hope it happens though as three-four bad matches and we can be back battling for Relegation! We don't have that good a squad imo and its a clear case of over achievment!

I reckon your squad is good enough to stay up and develop for next season!

If you don't mind could you check out my story I just started? http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...stories/167705-boreham-wood-great-growth.html

Due to hectic overwork due to me being in my last year of internship, I will be posting bi-annual updates. Please bear with me. Will try to get the updates up ASAP.

Really like the concept of this story, Blackpool almost have a full squad IRL now so hopefully they can match your achievements

Post-January

We were horrible post January. Only a few inconsistent victories and if not for our amazing run in November, we would have gone down. It was a successful season. Taking the crop of players to Premier League and surviving has been a tough task. Hopefully now with better finances we can attract better players and consolidate.


League Table

We end at 14th, 11 points off relegation and that is success. Our defense was 6th in allowing goals and we were 14th in scoring goals so if that doesn't change we will face trouble. I stuck to a select XI and they did their job. If finance permit i may try another adventurous tactic. Otherwise it will be contain first and score somehow again.

Finances

A 20 Mn. profit. That is brilliant. One/Two more seasons and we will be aiming for Europa.


Key Observations


1. We need a Top Goalscorer. One who can score consistently.

2. A Defender to replace Rio.

3. Two new Full-Backs.

4. We can't seem to grind out a result against the Big Clubs.

5. We need better quality overall as right now we are overachieving.

P.S: I forgot to mention, we signed J. Lascelles and M. Jacobs in January most payment after 50 appearances.​

I am literally playing a game where I started as Blackpool, I got them to a record of like 12-2-1 (Angel & Davies were going off) before the unwillingness of the board to give me any transfer budget and my general lack of interest in Blackpool got to me.... So I left for the (at the time) 0-2-10 Nottingham Forest xD. God knows how Nottingham could be so terrible with the talent it has on that roster, it's almost (but not quite as blasphemous) as Cardiff City being bad in the Skybet Championship.

However Blackpool has kept on chugging along with 16 wins an the #1 spot in the division to their name.
