Managing Harrogate Town in Football Manager 2021- a thread.
Why Harrogate? Well, this is the first time they've been in the Football League. Need I say any more?
It also means I can easily travel to Elland Road. I see this move as an absolute win
Made a manager... he looks like a baby in a suit
Jon Stead is at the club. He's 37 years old and has 6 acceleration. He doesn't bother leaving the ground. Takes him too long to walk to the car park so he just sleeps in the changing room
They predicted us to finish 22nd. After lots of wheeler dealing I managed to get us predicted to finish 13th. I'm the Harry Redknapp of league 2
Transfers? I brought in loads of free transfers and loans. Obviously. And after spending NOTHING i am predicted to be 1 million in debt by the end of the season. LOVELY
My tactics. I'm not exactly reinventing the wheel here
Fast forward to later on in the season... avoid a relegation battle? AVOID A RELEGATION BATTLE? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
LIMBS
Playoffs secured with five to go. If we go up we are going to get absolutely dicked on in league one
Oh I like this. I like this a lot
CHAMPIONS OF XG, YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT
Second season transfers. The fees involved are truly astronomical
Absolutely dispatching teams in the league cup
To people saying I save scum. Go on, save scum a 7-1 win. I dare you
So this just happened in my save
I've got a false 9 working for the first time in my life. If I get a girlfriend that would mean my entire bucket list is ticked off
If you're in League 1 or 2 get this fella. Got him on a free and he's scored 10 in 12 as a false 9
*Gulps*
I BEAT THE SCUM ON PENALTIES AND MY GOALKEEPER SCORED THE WINNING PENALTY HAHAHAH
Some of the names I'm bringing in on trial ahahahah
Welcome Henri.
pain
After some enthusiastic comments on twitter about him, welcome Rolando
Just when I thought he couldn't get more perfect. This is how he responded when I praised him for getting his first international cap <3
What do you even do with this guy. What a weird youngster
I'M IN THE PAPA JOHNS PIZZA DELIVERY AND TAKEAWAY FINAL
Hudson Odoi played in the semi-final... yikes
Eight games to go. Crunch time
Did the full game get released after the Burton game?
I won the game.... but I'm not sure I really ๐๐ผ๐ป
Here we go. The pizza final. Our first chance at ๐ฆ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ silverware
IT IS DONE. 1-0 WINNERS IN THE PAPA JOHN TROPHY. OUR FIRST MAJOR TROPHY
In case you're wondering whether I dominated the final or not
It is done.
Love kicking back and putting my feet up after a title win. Put a youth prospect in the team and gave him penalty duties. Voila
Death, taxes and Rotherham being a yoyo team
Sold my soul to be the new Vitesse. Father forgive me
After promotion to the Championship we have increased our reputation! But apparently still below a conference team!
My favourite signing so far.. A 18 year old for ยฃ160k with 19 flair
First match. LOOK AT THEIR TEAM
SaVe ScUmMeR
Tbf with this team, it would probably take about ten save scums each game if I wanted to get a point
I cba
My first win is against Millwall after I use a 4-4-2. The Sky Bet Championship is disgusting
A couple of deadline day deals. Still 400/1 to stay up with the second-lowest wage bill in the league
I did a thing
I'm so erect
This is why you go 4-4-fuckin-2
Freddie Ladapo. That's it. That's the tweet
This is the ability of my starting right back. In the Championship.
SOMETHING TO DO IN INTERNATIONAL BREAKS
The two players I got from TNS on frees (combined compensation of 300k)
15 games to go. We lovin' life
I'm not good at this game, but for what it's worth, my tips so far:
-If you lose two games in a row, change something in your tactic. Literally for the sake of it. You don't even need to know how it helps, you just need to keep it fresh
-If you lose two games in a row, change something in your tactic. Literally for the sake of it. You don't even need to know how it helps, you just need to keep it fresh
-Wing back not performing? Find a defensive midfielder who can play there- he doesn't need to have a high star rating or fit the role perfectly. They always seem to do a job there
Finally...
-If you ever have a break for more than seven days- arrange a friendly in that period. It'll give you an advantage over your opponent- match fitness-wise- as they won't do that. For example, this was me during the Qatar period:

Also... click save automatically after every game in preferences. Maybe my laptop is just shit, but it has saved me three times now
Watch out Millwall man, I'm coming for you
Biggest game so far:
WE'RE THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND ASDFGHJKL. These boys just don't give up, I absolutely love them
Semi-final of the F.A. cup.
Surely not
Half time. We're shithousing.
David Brooks makes it 1-1 with a free kick. Dominic Solanke then has a goal ruled out for offside. My blood pressure rn
THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE DISALLOWED. WE GO TO EXTRA TIME
Heartbreak. Troy Parrott scores two in extra time (they brought him on and I forgot to tightly mark him, is my excuse). What a rollercoaster though
