I've decided to take on a Premier League challenge for something a bit different on this FM and try and win a major trophy which I've failed to do so far and do a major rebuild on a team that I've always had a thing for watching over the years.
With the club due to move into its new stadium in 2025 then surely we can build the club up and finally give the fans something to cheer about on game days after the way the club has been run over the last decade. In 2016 Farhad Moshiri bought a share in the club and he's driven it into the ground with overspending on terrible players which has now caused the club to get a 6 point reduction meaning we start the season rooted to the bottom of the table.
The Squad
As mentioned above the club has spent stupid amounts of money on both transfer fees and wages over the seasons and they are really paying for it now. We have 6 contracts expiring at the end of the season with 2 loan deals ending as well and that makes up over £550,000 a week in which is mental when you look at the quality of them and their ages.
The club does have some very good young players though that we will look to build the team around going forward. James Garner and Amadou Onana are the future of our midfield and will be the staples. Jarrad Branthwaite will also be the focus point of our defence as well as he looks to establish himself for club and country. The club then lacks serious quality else where as I don]'t care what people say about Calvert-Lewin he spends more time injured than anything else so we will sell him as soon as we get a decent offer for him well unless he goes on a massive scoring run for us.
Fianances
After evsluastinf the squad it takes us on nicely to the clubs bank balance which looks great with over £100,000,000 in the bank at the moment and then it takes a sinister turn when you look at how much debt the club are in
The club are in just shy of £1billion worth of debt thanks to over spending and the costs of the new stadium ballooning and we will be forking out £3.9million a month to repay it which with high wage costs will soon take care of the money in the bank.
Club Vision
Well the bar is set really low this season with just avoiding relegation which is something that we can tick off well before the end of the season but we'll see. It only goes as far as a 1 year plan though with the owner looking to sell the club as we all know.
Supporter Vision
Well the fans don't expect anything different then its not too bad but its good to see that we already have a big waiting list for season tickets so bring on the new stadium.
