Mercado is AU Erik Lamela right? If so then I have to join the goon cup since my Man City squad also signed an AU-Erik Lamela. (Santiago Alonso in my universe) Now all I'm thinking about is that Michael Jordan vs Michael Jordan commercial. I don't think they can successfully mark each other though.

Loseille was a real terror in our friendly match. Crosses, crucial passes, neat tackles and interceptions. A fine player who seemed like he was everywhere at times. Easily the most impressive player on the pitch, if you don't count Mujkic's second half heroics.

Habeas, if you're up for more international friendlies next season, I have a ridiculously overpowered team made with the Steam FC mod where you start with like 1 billion in transfer funds that would definitely be interested in a friendly. They've got about 8-9 of the world's 15 best players largely from buying wonderkids all the way up from the Skrill South.

Sorry this is late, Habeas! AFC Wimbledon Team and Match Report I am twelve seasons in with AFC Wimbledon. A 'phoenix club' formed and owned by fans after the original Wimbledon team was bought by speculators and moved to from London to Milton Keynes, on the other side of the country (tip: there is no reason to ever go there), in real life the new club has had a meteoric rise from the very bottom of English football to finally emerge into League 2 two years before game start. I just continued the pattern. It turns out SI actually sponsored real-life AFC Wimbledon until recently and I think there's a little extra love in there for them: my new stadium is called 'New Plough Lane', which is a reference to the original club's stadium, since demolished. It is a long standing goal of the new club to buy land there and build a replacement. Habeas says we won the Champions League. Sadly it was just the Europa League, which we won four years ago. We finally won the Premiership for the first time by a point last season, mostly thanks to a Man City collapse. We also specialise in losing domestic cup finals and having an average age of 21. My other accomplishments include impressive tournament performances with Scotland u19s and u21s and being fired by France. I come out against Wrexham playing my standard formation:  This is a possession-heavy approach designed for players who are to be honest not all that good. The theory is 'hold the ball, eventually something will happen and at least they can't score if we've got it'. It relies heavily on the D L/R to make an attacking impact and a lot hinges on the AM C: Callum White, D/M/AM L  9 tackling on a DL  He also can't pass in any other way than a drilled cross. On the other hand he contributed 15 assists last season so the £550k I spent bringing him from Hibernian seems to have returned. Plus, he's the only player in history to win the European Golden Boy award twice. If he is defending we are doing something wrong (he defends in this match).Saverio Biocco, D R  My older DR experienced a sudden age drop-off so this kid covers the right. Five star potential, which has me hoping for big things. Mukjic proceeds to make a fool of him all game. Dennis Meier, M/AM C  Captain and creative force. English Footballer of the Year twice in a row. Not bad for £1.5m. My top scorer last season with 21 goals and 15 assists (for some reason he is a devil at freekicks), but when he doesn't perform the team really suffers. The oldest player at the club other than Biocco's predecessor (33 and in the reserves). Spends the entire game failing through passes. My centre-midfield possession game fails miserably in the first half against a Wrexham team that really packs the midfield with quality players, and without possession I don't make any headway. I get punished down the flanks to boot, with what are basically a winger and a child forced into defence. We are lucky to only be two down at the end of the half. I decide to switch things up big time, partly because in multiplayer there is no teamtalk so I can't remind them how terrible they all are (they know). (I didn't take a screenshot so this is a reconstruction)  This is one of my 'oh poo poo we're losing' formations. I often make significant changes at half time, even if they require subs: I don't know if it's the match engine or confirmation bias but it seems to turn things around quite often. This is the point where I bring on the legendary Gareth Davies, and on 55 minutes shift him into a poacher's role and bench Leguiza because to be honest he is wasted as an IF: Gareth Davies, AM R, ST C  I picked him up for a song whilst in the Championship from non-league Salisbury. Once he turned 18 I intended to give him a couple of starts in my fight for mid-table and then he went and scored 19 goals and basically won the league for us. He does one thing: poach. Do not ask him to pass, or tackle, or do anything other than lurk. But that's all I need him to do  He keeps making my far more expensive and technically better strikers look terrible. His lack of England caps is the greatest crime of our era.He manages to grab a goal of the classic poacher's variety and then we spend the rest of the game desperately trying to batter down the door for a second. We miss a lot of chances but we finally make some, and with a bit more luck we could have pushed things to extra time at least. Broadly I was disappointed with this result. The first half was dire (and I should have known not to try and play like I did), and the second had a lot of missed chances. I also contend the referee was bribed with a trip back to his own time. This being said it was a fun game when I wasn't cursing my players at length in the Steam chat. It was a good match all in all: the only Wrexham player who didn't impress me was Taborda, who spent most of the match blasting shots way wide from tight angles. If we were to play again I'd open with a less centrally-focused formation and look to the counter. I look forward to next pre-season where I may get a chance to avenge myself

Chapter the Third: The consequences of sloth. September 11, 2025-October 15, 2025 Let's check in with my favorite EPL soap opera:    These poor guys. Leinard is doubly screwed, he signed a contract in May before Chelsea had won the Champions League, thinking that City had qualified. He was heard screaming from all the way over in Liverpool when told that he could look forward to mid-week trips to FK Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino in Belarus for the Europa League. He even forfeited several million pounds in loyalty bonuses before the ink was dry on his contract. Ouattara, on the other hand refused to ask for a transfer over the summer, he still wanted to get paid his loyalty bonus. Now, though, he's made it clear that he wants out. Why?  Because we unsettled him.  He's not worth £30m to me, though. Enjoy Naples. Watch out for the volcano. vs Manchester City, September 13, 2025 Premier League  Hopefully all the sturm und drang surrounding City means that they'll go quietly. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Quiboulaz, Laux, Loseille, Maloney, Bailey (c), Mercado, Allan, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Tounkara, Enrique, Shirra, Damgaard, Parr. Nope, they're not going quietly, and in fact they're winning the match after a set piece goal in the 12th minute. Thiago is clearly frustrated with his lack of goals, earning a yellow card for diving. He should be upset, he missed back to back easy chances, the second with the goal at his mercy. My halftime talk is not for those with sensitive ears. Finally Thiago gets on the board, fifty minutes after we fell behind. Mattias Mercado then puts us ahead in the 78th minute on an impressive turn and shoot in traffic. All is well with the world. Then we blow it when Quiboulaz loses track of his man and allows the equalizer in the 90th minute. Goddamnit.   Wrexham 2-2 Man City  I can't let United get a world class player if I can help it, so we'll have to pony up.  Then City saves us the trouble and the money by refusing to deal with their hated rivals.  Bettors aren't getting rich these days by plonking a tenner on Wrexham, everyone knows just how good we are. vs Roma, September 16, 2025 Champions League, Group A  Roma are the equal or better of City and Chelsea, and Chelsea won the Champions League last season. They've had the terrible luck to be drawn into the same group as ourselves and Real Madrid, and need their superstar centerback Leonardo Salerno to marshal the defenses in their visit to the Racecourse Ground. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Quiboulaz, Laux, Loseille, Shirra, Ünsal (c), Mercado, Stringel, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Quiboulaz, Maloney, Allan, Damgaard, Parr. Roma are hanging on for dear life from the opening gun. They finally succumb in the 36th minute, the Golden Boy is automatic from the spot. After converting this one Shirra is 20 of 20 on penalty kicks going back the last six seasons, and 23 of 25 for his career. A Taborda dive earns a Roma fullback his second yellow and an early shower in the 51st minute, and we spend the next forty minutes teeing off against the beleagured defense. They eventually cough up another goal, this time to Thiago, and were unable to muster any offense whatsoever even before going down a man. Man of the Match: James Loseille   Wrexham 2-0 Roma   Tonci has been excellent for the club since we stole him from Barcelona seven years ago. Reed and Loseille will need some rest at some point, so promising him playing time isn't that big a deal. vs Liverpool, September 20, 2025 Premier League  United fell to Everton, so we have a great chance to pick up the ground we lost by beating Everton's crosstown rivals. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Ünsal (c), Parr, Shirra, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Hammatt, Bailey, Allan, Damgaard, Stringel. Thiago scores on an exquisite chip shot not five minutes into the game, he looks to be out of his early season slumber. Tounkara is fouled hard on a corner kick, giving us a penalty kick ten minutes later. As mentioned previously in this update, the Golden Boy doesn't miss from the spot. Shortly thereafter Liverpool's keeper can't handle a stinging shot from the Turk, and Ünsal is happy to put back his own rebound. The hits don't stop coming, in the 26th minute Taborda gets in on the fun courtesy a perfect through ball from the Turk, who has taken his game to a new level this season. El Compadrito doubles up three minutes later when the Everton keeper can't corral yet another rebound, and it's 5-0 in less than half an hour. Things go from bad to worse for Liverpool when they have a man sent off in the 31st minute. It does make them huddle in fear around their goal, however, which keeps us from scoring a sixth goal until Thiago picks up another near the hour mark. He and Taborda keep peppering the Liverpool goal in search of their their hat tricks, but their reward is not forthcoming. We'll have to settle for a six-nil demolition of the eighteen-time English champions. Man of the Match: Thiago   Wrexham 6-0 Liverpool  Dropping a half dozen goals on another team will do wonders for your players inclusion into the team of the week. vs Queens Park Rangers, September 23, 2025 Capital One Cup, Third Round  Remember Chesterfield. Confident, cocky, lazy, dead. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Quiboulaz, Reed, Maloney, Bailey (c), Mercado, Allan, Damgaard, Stringel. Subs: Minami, Ciganek, Tounkara, Enrique, Shirra, Pickee, Thiago. The first half sees a rare Bailey goal, and another from “Super” Mercado (he's got only the highest quality products) gives us an unimpeachable lead. We keep it up as Allan bags a second half brace. Our backups and reserves pile on more goals than our first team did a month ago, although to be fair the score of that first match should have been 5-0. Man of the Match: Callum Allan   Wrexham 4-0 QPR  That's a pity.  So's that. Oh well, they'd have to lose at some point for us to win the League Cup. At Manchester United, September 27, 2025 Premier League  This match is gigantic. A draw here keeps our fate in our own hands. A loss puts us four points back. It may seem insane to be making these pronouncements just over a month into the season, but I fully believe that United could win all but two matches. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Ünsal (c), Mercado, Shirra, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Bailey, Allan, Parr, Stringel. I turn around for ten seconds at the kickoff and United are up. We're having little success trying to control possession, and then Ünsal gets himself red carded with an incredibly stupid two footed tackle in the 40th minute. Steve Collecott is able to get United a second goal after the half, and that's all she wrote.   Man United 2-0 Wrexham   I take back what I said about him having such a good start to the season.   You do not have a good sense of timing, kid.  It's hard to argue that he doesn't deserve a raise, though.  Dreamsicle may be terrible at finding me a feeder team, but he's doing more legwork than anyone ever has to get us new sponsorships. Now if only they were worth more than a month of Mercado's salary. At Rangers, October 1, 2025 Champions League, Group A  I have a suspicion that we're going to take out our frustration on some Scotsmen. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Kocsis, Cirjak (c), Hammatt, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Enrique, Shirra, Parr, Allan, Damgaard, Stringel. Subs: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Bailey, Taborda, Mercado, Thiago. Stringel's long goal drought finally comes to an end in the 33rd minute. He adds a second after intermission when Rangers roam too far upfield searching for an equalizer, and that breaks the floodgates wide open. Shirra bangs one in immediately following, and we get an own goal on top of that, but those are mere sideshows to Isaac Stringel's return to form. He laces his hat trick at 64 minutes and then picks up a fourth and then a fifth. After having gone goalless for the first seven matches of the season he strings up five in one game. He earns the rare perfect 10 rating on the day for his bonanza, and I think he's disappointed he won't be playing in Glasgow more often. Man of the Match: Isaac Stringel   Rangers 0-7 Wrexham  .png) Well, better that he's sidelined now than next summer. It's a shame, though. Parsons is 21 and already good enough to be starting for a lower tier Premier League club. With a full season of improvement he might have been one of the best players on the USMNT next summer at the World Cup.  Well, now I'm extra glad that I fined him £400,000.  I am looking very forward to punching your face in. Metaphorically.   Yeah, well I'm rubber and you're glue.  At Everton, October 4, 2025 Premier League  Don't make liars of me, lads. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Shirra, Mercado, Stringel, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Bailey, Allan, Damgaard, Parr. Everton have the better of the first half, but Minami is proving worth every penny we've paid him over Kovacevic so far. Thiago looks like he's scuffling again, until he launches a free kick bender around the wall and past the keeper to finally give us the lead after an hour and five minutes of play. We blow another late lead, though, and sink to a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. We're lucky we didn't lose- our defense was gouged open time and again by Everton and teen phenom Dramane Tounkara did not look anything like one of the best players in the world under 20. Man of the Match: Thiago   Everton 1-1 Wrexham   : Hang on, the Coach will be right here.(PAUL WILLIAMS turns on a holograph screen, showing COACH on a beach in his bathing suit and a large, vibrantly colored drink topped by a straw umbrella in his hand.)  : You're probably wondering “Hey, what's Coach doing on a beach when we have friendlies to play?” Well, Coach is enjoying a damned vacation because he was at 26 US National Team matches over the course of less than three months this summer. Coach needs his me time. Listen to Paul, be good, play well. Coach out. Finding it hard to care with all these mimosas in my mouth.  See, you didn't need me around anyways! USMNT  Doooooooon't caaaaaare. Wrexham  We're alternating between bestriding the pitch like colossi and appearing to be hapless handegg fans trying to play keepy-uppy. I have no clue what leads us to blow out Liverpool and Rangers but get dominated by Everton. The ship needs righting, immediately.

Chapter the Fourth: Howard Webb must die. October 15, 2025-November 6, 2025 The silver lining to our tough start is that it's only seven matches into the season and we've already played both Manchesters and Arsenal, as well as Tottenham and Everton. Things should go a bit smoother against the soft underbelly of the EPL.   Hey, remember when he was complaining to the media about how I was trying to drive him from the club, and I retaliated by exercising his contract extension clause so he was forced to stay with us for three more years? Water under the bridge, thanks to my excellent  Uh. What? This appears to be a mistake, that loan mentioned is actually the construction loan for the stadium.  Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence, Bastard.  I'm not sure where this "speculation" about my job safety is coming from, I'm still safer than all but a handful of EPL coaches. Maybe a rallying speech to boost morale would help things.  Hmm. Not my most stirring words, I admit. vs Stoke City, October 18, 2025 Premier League  Stoke are in last place, and have already been drubbed from the Europa League prior to the Group Stage. We'll either increase their misery or they'll suddenly bounce back into form and shock us. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Tounkara, Hammatt, Loseille, Bailey (c), Shirra, Parr, Allan, Mercado, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Quiboulaz, Enrique, Taborda, Damgaard, Stringel. Thiago makes a run and beats two defenders to open scoring in the 22nd minute. Allow Stoke to reply instantly due to a mental lapse on the part of our defense that Minami can't cover for, but Thiago's in the zone and scores on a free kick in the 28th minute. He finishes off the first half with a hat trick. Stoke fight back to score their second goal on their second shot when play resumes, and I'm concerned about gifting away more points late in a match. Not to fear, Thiago has me covered and restores our two goal lead with ten minutes remaining. I'm still not happy with our overall performance, we gave up goals far too easily, but an on point Thiago will make any match easier. Man of the Match: Thiago   Wrexham 4-2 Stoke   Kôjirô is a prima donna, apparently, and not happy with me for telling the defense I was unimpressed with their performance in allowing a reeling Stoke to score two goals. He'll just have to deal with it. vs Real Madrid, October 22, 2025 Champions League, Group A  Madrid lost in Rome, so a victory virtually guarantees our advancement through to the knockout round. Real Madrid are fielding a trio of former Red Dragons in Aarts, Taffarel, and the Bastard. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Quiboulaz, Laux, Loseille, Shirra, Ünsal (c), Mercado, Stringel, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Bailey, Allan, Damgaard, Parr. Thiago continues his brilliant form as he absolutely picks the pocket of world class centerback Mauro Gaeda and scores with the clock ticking into the 8th minute. Stringel adds one of his own, and we're up 2-0 quick as you could hope. I told you guys that we'd be incredible once those two kicked it into gear. Real Madrid have plenty of offense of their own, though, with the Bastard scoring in his return to Wales. Thiago appears to have scored again in the 45th minute, but the ball hit his hand before going into the net and it's rightly called back. Taborda scores on the other side of the half to restore our two goal buffer. Bastable does all he can to overcome it, but after full time we've earned all nine points from our first three group matches.   Wrexham 3-2 Real Madrid At Reading, October 25, 2025 Premier League  No offense to the players of Reading, but given that we just played Real Madrid and have Arsenal in three days you're getting some of our weaker players. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Bailey (c), Shirra, Parr, Allan, Damgaard, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Hammatt, Enrique, Taborda, Mercado, Stringel. Parr gets us off to a flyer in the 2nd minute. We're then denied an obvious penalty in the 20th minute. Keepers really need to stop bouncing the ball on the ground when Thiago is around, he pads our lead at the hour mark. We turn out to need the cushion as Reading quickly pull back a goal when Minami appears to pull something. That leads to them nearly evening the match with a bicycle kick that beats Minami but deflects harmlessly off the crossbar. We have the last laugh when Damgaard scores in stoppage time, and the final score flatters us. Man of the Match: Shahed Parr   Reading 1-3 Wrexham Thiago is just so awesome. He earns goals like this one and this one all the damned time.  I'd call this impulsive but Reading are just above the drop at the moment. vs Arsenal, October 28, 2025 Capital One Cup, Fifth Round  Either we take out one of the toughest potential contenders in the League Cup or we get more time to focus on the important trophies. A win-win. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Hammatt, Laux, Loseille, Shirra, Ünsal (c), Parr, Stringel, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Quiboulaz, Bailey, Allan, Damgaard, Mercado. We're unable to break through Arsenal's defense, so when they're gifted a bullshit penalty by Howard goddamned Webb at the start of the second half we're suddenly in deep trouble. The gift makes the difference, as despite 24 shots we can't scratch a single one of our own. The hell with the League Cup, and the hell with Howard Webb.   Wrexham 0-1 Arsenal  Give me a touchline ban, I loving dare you.  I wish I could refuse to allow Howard Webb to enter the premises when next he's assigned a match at the Racecourse Ground. He's screwed us over many times before. But what can you expect from a 54 year old referee? Hopefully he has a fatal heart attack on the pitch soon.  There's miles to go before we sleep. But I'll see what I can do about not playing you every single match.  Oh thank god you're back, Meteor. We've missed you.  Keep scoring in buckets, I want you to win a well deserved Ballon d'Or. vs Crystal Palace, November 1, 2025 Premier League  Not much to say here but that we should be winning easily. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Laux, Quiboulaz, Bailey (c), Ünsal, Parr, Stringel, Taborda, Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Maloney, Allan, Mujkic, Mercado. Takes us until the 34th minute to catch Palace in a mistake, two of their players move to close down Parr and that leaves Stringel wide open. Thiago bonks in a header that probably should have been stopped five minutes later. Just before the half the Palace captain and right back makes the incomprehensible decision to pass the ball directly to String, who happily accepts the assist and scores his second of the day. We don't let up after the half, and Steve Reed scores an easy goal when we overwhelm Palace's defense yet again. Sloppy defending and complacency allow Crystal Palace two goals at that point, but Thiago makes sure to pad his Premier League lead with one of his own, and Matthias Laux makes up for his laziness that lead to a goal by scoring on a corner. Man of the Match: Isaac Stringel   Wrexham 6-2 Palace  What has this bum ever done?! Anybody But Dreamsicle, 2026! At Real Madrid, November 4, 2025 Premier League  A Real Madrid win here will ruin Roma's chances of advancing. Roma somehow only managed to draw Rangers despite playing at home, and despite having beaten Real Madrid in the second group stage match. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Defensive Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Hammatt, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Shirra, Taborda, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Tounkara, Bailey, Ünsal, Mercado, Parr. After playing evenly through the first 30 minutes Shirra is involved in a collision and has to come out. Our play doesn't suffer much, and so we proceed nil-nil to the second half. It's then that I'm seized by terror when Christian Taffarel gets his second yellow and is sent off. Then I remember he's no longer on Wrexham, and gleefully order us onto the attack. We can't force a winner, but we have sealed our passage to the knockout round. Meanwhile Roma have lost to Rangers, so there'll be no shenanigans this year trying to keep a team from making the knockout round. Unless, of course, Rangers somehow beat Real Madrid and I'm able to advance them by throwing our final group stage match.   Real Madrid 0-0 Wrexham  Good thing an international break is coming up. The sawbones also inform me that Laux is tired, I'm going to withdraw him from the German squad if he's called up, he can have a couple weeks off during the same international break Shirra's using to recuperate.  Oh poo poo- I did not see that coming! I must have accidentally started an anti-Dreamsicle insurgency.  Our offense has improved, but we're now giving up too many goals. I've made my peace with the League Cup match, if we're going to get utterly boned by a referee it might as well be in a competition I don't care much about. United had their first draw of the season, another loss or draw will put our fate back in our own hands. It took us a month or so to get clicking, and our brutal early schedule didn't help, but things seem to be coming along nicely now.    Presidential ElectionDreamsicle is stepping down halfway through his potential four year run! This means we're having an election on January 6th, 2026, to determine his replacement. There are two topics on the minds of voters. One is what our new stadium will be named, where it will be located, and what it will look like. The other is what happens to the Racecourse Ground when the new stadium is completed. The club is making £11.7m from the sale of the stadium and the land, but this can be changed by merely deducting that amount from our bank account if we want to keep the stadium and is a price we can easily afford. So, what happens to our historic stadium, which has been the site of soccer matches going back to 1864 and the site of sporting events for over 200 years? Do we allow it to be demolished and have a 24 hour Tesco put up on it's location instead? How do we integrate it with our new stadium, if at all? Is the new stadium named after a club legend, or after some business? Is it located in Wrexham or are we making people drive out into the wilderness to see matches? What mad architect do we hire to design it? Make your stadium proposals! Convince the club membership to follow your dreams!

Decided to go with the double update today so we could kick the election stuff off. I still have another three updates before election day, so the presidential election will take place over the next week or so. Sorry, Dreamsicle. I have no clue why you decided to resign to spend more time with your family.  TheGreyGhost posted:Habeas, if you're up for more international friendlies next season, I have a ridiculously overpowered team made with the Steam FC mod where you start with like 1 billion in transfer funds that would definitely be interested in a friendly. They've got about 8-9 of the world's 15 best players largely from buying wonderkids all the way up from the Skrill South. Hmm, I may not allow that into The Mini-Cwp, Interdimensional Edition due to the mod bonuses giving you a leg up on the opposition. But I'd be happy to play a normal friendly at some point

Right, I've got just the idea. We've been hitting a bit of a slump with Dreamsicle at the helm, and I believe it was due to a lack of America. I mean, come on, channeling Jericho? A Canadian? Bah, no wonder that didn't work out. So what we need is a double dosage of America. Me as the president, and a stadium modeled after a baseball stadium. Still with the same pitch in the middle, but built like a baseball stadium otherwise. Gives the team some more unique flavor, and might throw opponents off. Now, I'm not sure what stadium exactly we would model ourselves on, but I think Fenway would do just fine. Got that iconic status. As for the name, I'm not quite sure. I mean, we could go with the obvious route and have it named after Brown himself, nothing says "god-king" like having a stadium named after you before retiring. Plus, I don't think we're at the stage where we have "club legends" yet, at least not ones comparable to the level we're on right now. Or we could just name it after Pete Rose, that might work. And as for the Racecourse Ground, the solution is obvious - turn it into a football stadium! An American football stadium, that is! gently caress London, we're taking over the European NFL market. I can't see anything possibly going wrong with this plan. Seems flawless to me.

I would like to make a humble proposal when it comes to the Racecourse Ground. It stays with us, with no name change. To honour our progress, we erect a statue near the entrance, not of any one player, but rather a few footballers, dressed in period attire, to show Wrexham's history, from the 19th century, until its rise through football in the 21st, a modern piece of art, a testament to how the beautiful game transcends mere years.

 : Sorry guys, but I've decided to go full-time with my band Frizzy! It was fun and satisfying putting opposing managers in the Liontamer, but it only appears to have emboldened them as well. I wish Wrexham and Scott Brown luck in their future endeavors. Also please keep the Racecourse grounds so my band can perform there.Unfortunately this means no heel turn when I take over Liverpool or something.

Using my local knowledge here *flexes* Okay, for our new stadium, we are demolishing the dire Eagles Meadow shopping centre, because gently caress that place. It's an eyesore and was an utter waste of money that's crippled Wrexham's high street. Atop it's smouldering ruins we are building our new ultra super stadium, which will be convienently located near the town centre, bus depot and train station, with it's entrance on Yorke Street. It will be called the Tommy Bamford Ground after a real life Wrexham legend and the club's leading goalscorer. As there is a severe lack of fine drinking establishments to entertain our loyal fans nearby, we'll also be buying up property on St. George's Crescent, such as the Subway and that terrible Thai food place no one goes to because it's loving awful and the only time I've ever been there I got food poisoning and was sick for two days. In the place of these lovely eateries will be Yr Tafarn Glyndŵr, a glorious new sports bar and pub that has exclusive deals on Wrexham Lager for season ticket holders. Free pies on matchdays, with 2-for-1 pints for an hour after each game. As for the Racecourse, we are of course keeping ownership of it (and the Turf pub too, leave my Turf alone!). As we are dominating the world of football, our old stadium will be used to begin our rise in another sport - Wales' national sport, Rugby Union. (Sorry Crusaders fans, Rugby League never cut it up here) With bribery and vague threats we will convince the WRU to incorporate a fifth Region and professional team, the Wrexham Warriors, based at the hallowed Racecourse. From here, we shall begin a quest to climb the ranks of the Pro 12 and European championships until all rugby teams before us lay shattered like so much chaff on the wind. Outside the Racecourse, a massive golden statue of the God-King will be crafted, with legends such as Bailey and Meteor gathered around his throne of skulls that is build atop the corpses of players and managers from teams that tried, and failed, to stand before him.

 Naming rights to the highest bidder! I don't care if it's Enron Park, the Comcast Center, The McDonald's Pitch brought to you by BP, or Blumpkin' Ben's Discount Empornium Coliseum, as long as we get paid magnificently for the naming rights! As for the old joint, burn it down and build a museum there, dedicated to the brilliance of the only man to bring two World Series titles to the ungrateful people of South Florida, as well as the man to rid the world of the Montreal Expos menace, Jeffrey Loria! A fitting tribute to a king! AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Rivalries are a bit weird. I managed to make a few in League 1 by insulting managers repeatedly but despite my ongoing feuds with Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Cardiff my rivals are all teams I haven't played in six years or more (a few of them have dropped out of the main leagues entirely). You can't directly edit this either so Habeas will basically have to abuse Tackleford publicly at every opportunity and hope for the best.

I need to figure out how best to set things up, I don't want people being forced to play too many matches, but it's definitely going to happen. Start prepping your clubs! Is there any requirement for AU players or only regens, because my Man Utd team still has quite a few real players on it's books, though most of the ones who started at Utd by game start are now in their early thirties and are about to retire/be shipped of to somewhere sunnier than Manchester for as much money as I can get.

I hereby toss my hat into the ring for the shiny title of president, Now, I am going to dissent a bit from the popular opinion here, but I say that we sell the field to ourselves... That is to say, the fans and citizens of Werxham. The field itself would be preserved as a local landmark while the stadium around it is converted to the Wales Museum of Football History. The new stadium should be constructed in Wrexham to keep the name value up, but it might be prudent to invest in an airstrip, or perhaps a monorail system, which would be developed near the stadium so that fans of the away teams traveling to Wrexham stop getting lost. I would suggest that we name the new stadium Brown Stadium, but brown is such a dull color that it would drive people away, so we should instead go with Dreigiau(Dragon) Stadium to keep things simple. Ya see, if we get all fancy we might confuse the tourist who want the local culture feed to them in bite sized pieces.

Chapter the Fifth: The Group of November 6, 2025-December 8, 2025 Almost time for that World Cup draw. We'll know how easy or hard things will be by the end of the update.  What would a £93m training facility even look like?  Aww, poo poo. It seems like one or another of our starting 11 will be on the shelf for at least half the year.  It didn't help that Meteor was hurt these past three months and couldn't exactly work with Loseille on the pitch. At West Bromwich Albion, November 10, 2025 Premier League  West Brom are midtable, having slumped after a hot start that saw them as high as 2nd and in 3rd place after six matches. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Taborda, Parr, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Hammatt, Maloney, Allan, Damgaard, Mercado. Meteor scores his first of the season. It's so good to have him back. West Brom tie it up, and we just can't keep a clean sheet lately. Their goal doesn't affect the outcome, as Thiago puts us back ahead with 25 minutes to play and Isaac Stringel finds the net ten minutes later to salt away the win. Man of the Match: Isaac Stringel   West Brom 1-3 Wrexham  Rest up, Herr Laux.   With the addition of Mercado, Damgaard has been pushed down the depth chart. I agree that he should go get some playing time.  This will be the most sedate holiday season I've ever had as a manager, we have only one match to play between December 21 and January 2. vs Watford, November 22, 2025 Premier League  I'm enjoying this lull in difficult matches that will continue all the way until the end of the year. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Hammatt, Laux, Loseille, Bailey, Allan, Parr, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Cirjak, Quiboulaz, Maloney, Enrique, Taborda, Mercado. Parr scores in the 17th minute, assisted by the prettiest cross from Loseille I've ever seen. Parr's hot, and is unleashed a second time by a smart pass from String. Thiago gets in on the action, again assisted by String. Then Thiago scores once more from a free kick, a lovely bending shot around the wall and inside the near post from 30 yards away. Mujkic makes it 5-0, and we've been scoring a goal every 10 minutes. Thiago gets his hat trick, and our front four are having their merry way with Watford's defense. The referee gives Watford a pity penalty, but that doesn't change the outcome in the least. Man of the Match: Thiago   Wrexham 6-1 Watford  Don't jinx him! He hasn't been hit by a truck or had a safe dropped on him yet this season.  Thiago has scored those 15 goals in 12 matches.  He won't play against Roma, I don't want to bring him back too early and have him get reinjured.  Geez I'm getting old. At Roma, November 26, 2025 Champions League, Group A  With qualification in the bag, I see no reason to try too hard. If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. Go have some fun out there. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Hammatt, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Maloney, Allan, Taborda, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Tounkara, Enrique, Bailey, Mercado, Parr. Thiago rockets in a free kick from 20 meters out in the 6th minute to give us the lead, then pulls his classic “Oh, don't mind me, I won't steal the ball from you” move against former Red Dragon Ibrahim El Sayed two minutes later. Hammatt uses his 6'6” frame to hammer home a header, and we're rolling. Thiago doesn't even wait until halftime to score his hat trick. It's his 20th goal of the season and it's not even December yet. Man of the Match: Thiago   Roma 0-4 Wrexham  Thiago has scored 55 goals this calendar year in 52 matches. If he's not a prime candidate for the Ballon d'Or the whole thing is rigged. Without a single additional goal his tally would be good for 11th all time in real life. vs Leeds United, November 29, 2025 Premier League  Leeds were a surprisingly good club last year, but I still expect to come away with a win. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Reed, Tounkara, Laux, Loseille, Maloney, Bailey, Mercado, Shirra, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Quiboulaz, Hammatt, Enrique, Allan, Taborda, Parr. No win to be had here, as we squander, waste, and spurn every opportunity to score. At least we kept a clean sheet. Ugh.   Wrexham 0-0 Leeds  What? Pump your breaks, buddy. That man is a Wrexham treasure.  Thiago isn't a frontrunner, yet somehow Stringel is. What the hell?  Thiago isn't even on the goddamned shortlist, despite scoring 19 more goals than second place. Even stripping out his international appearances he has 11 more goals than the next closest guy. And it's not like he hasn't been noticed. He's the reigning EPL Golden Boot, won the Best Player in the Champions League award, was named to the EPL and CL Dream Teams, and won the European Golden Boot. So how the gently caress is he not on here? And meanwhile Bram Aarts is shortlisted, despite having been Thiago's backup until he was sold to Real Madrid. At least Meteor's absence I understand, he missed three months of the year, but this is just ridiculously dumb. In real life Thiago would be the biggest star in the world. At Swansea, December 2, 2025 Premier League, Welsh Derby  Welsh Derby time! Let's bounce back from that painful nil-nil draw with Leeds. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Hammatt, Quiboulaz, Loseille, Laux, Allan, Parr, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Reed, Tounkara, Bailey, Shirra, Mercado, Taborda. Thiago is having some bad luck. His first good look at the goal goes off the crossbar. His second ends with the ball in the net, but he was inches offside when the ball left Stringel's foot. Those are our best chances throughout regulation, and this match is looking like it's going to be another awful 0-0 draw, but Parr rescues our spirits and the points when he scores seconds from the death in stoppage time. Man of the Match: Jonathan Quiboulaz   Swansea 0-1 Wrexham  Oh come on. United go a man down after 12 minutes and still beat Arsenal 3-1?! Take a long hard look at what you've done in trying to give me a challenge, Football Manager. You've created a monster.  As the hosts we're in Pot 1 along with the seven highest ranked participants. That means we'll avoid facing the likes of England or Argentina in the group stage. The other three pots are ordered by confederation so as to avoid having groups with three nations from the same continent in them.  Group A! For Awesome! The nice thing about being drawn into the first group is that it gives us the best chance for dodging the tougher teams in each of the three other pots thanks to there being only a 1 in 8 chance that we'll pull any particular opponent. Pot Two contains Asia, South America, and Trinidad and Tobago, who are definitely the smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup. We want Trinidad, but only Colombia would be favorites against us.  Not bad. Japan is a solid national team, and probably one of the best teams in Pot 2, but we can beat them. Pot 3 has Africa and the rest of South America. Chile and Uruguay lurk in this pot; I'd like to avoid both of them.  Hahahaha, of course we get drawn with Ghana. Pot Four is all European, and one of those European countries is Italy.  Anybody but Italy. Anybody but Italy. Anybody but Italy.  Heck yeah! I'll take it. We should be considered favorites to win the group thanks to our home field advantage. That's important, if we finish second we face the winner of Group B, which will almost certainly be Argentina. Give me Australia, Switzerland, or Guinea any day.  Given home field advantage, our group, and who we're likely to face if we win it, my minimum expectation is making the Quarterfinals. And once we get to the Quarterfinals who knows what could happen.    There doesn't appear to be any Group of Death, but Germany was gifted an absolute peach of a group. They could advance with their U20 team.  We want friendlies against countries that match the style of our group stage opponents, and that will be stern enough challenges to ready ourselves for the level of play we'll see during the Cup.    I don't feel like the countries suggested by the game would be a tough enough test, so I swap in Wales and Sweden for Nigeria and Slovakia.  Is this really the best the United States can do? I'm pretty sure that the best facilities in America match those worldwide. Germany will be at the LA Galaxy training grounds (Excellent) and also have access to their (Superb) youth facilities. Spain is prepping at FC Dallas, which has Excellent facilities and Great youth facilities. England is training up at the Wrexham affiliate Chivas USA, which is rated the same as Dallas. I feel like our own nation has shafted us.  I've had a sore throat for the past two weeks now. I do not wish the nagging discomfort on anyone. Taborda can go home and get better there without infecting his teammates. At Southampton, December 6, 2025 Premier League  We've hit a rough patch recently, boyos. Show me what you've got tonight. Starting Formation: 4-2-3-1 Control. Starting 11: Minami, Cirjak, Tounkara, Quiboulaz, Reed, Maloney, Shirra, Parr, Stringel, Mujkic (c), Thiago. Subs: Kocsis, Loseille, Hammatt, Bailey, Allan, Damgaard, Mercado. Southampton are keeping us from getting into the penalty area, and we're taking too many shots from range as a result. It's once again looking like another 0-0 draw, and our offensive spark has vanished. A big part of the reason for this is Thiago, who seems devastated by the fact that the world has ignored his genius. He's gone two games without a goal, and can't find a way into the net today. For the second game in a row we enter stoppage time with a draw. For the second game in a row we're bailed out at the last minute. If the world won't acknowledge his brilliance, Thiago will take what is his by force. Man of the Match: Tonci Cirjak   Southampton 0-1 Wrexham  The chase for the league title might already be over. We've only lost once, but each draw puts us closer to the brink considering United's unreal form. There's still more than half the season to play, though, so I'm not going to panic just yet. It is troublesome, though, how reliant we are on Thiago for goals. I have some ideas about how we might change that.   ElectionsI'm going to keep nominations open until I post the next update, then we'll get to voting.

Ghostwoods posted:That Fenway place looks nasty, though. What's iconic about a huge Bank of America advert? Hey, now. Fenway is the oldest pro stadium in America.* It opened in 1912. It's gone under far fewer renovations than most stadiums of similar age and the field dimensions have been pretty much the same since the early 1940s. It's such a national treasure that the Citgo oil company sign that can be seen over the Green Monster has been designated a national historic landmark and can't be removed.   It is weird, though, seeing a 102 year old picture where people are sitting in FRONT of the Green Monster. It's the perfect place to see a game, unless you get stuck in the grandstands behind one of the thick iron girders holding up the top level, or in seats that make you turn your head 90 degrees to see home plate. * A couple college football stadiums are older, IIRC. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Do Will Brown's some 1.5 stars for us mean he'd be phenomenal at some lower-league team? And could Thiago's not being up for the Ballon d'Or have something to do with having just appeared out of thin air a few seasons ago?

Yeah, it's actually across the Massachusetts Turnpike (8 lane motorway that goes into the heart of the city, with two railway lines running alongside it at that point as well) in Kenmore Square. Of course, it's almost possible to hit a baseball onto the Mass Pike from Fenway, so we're talking maybe 1000 feet away or so. On father's coaching sons, it's happened before. In the US the most notable occasion was with Michael Bradley on the national team from 2006-2012, when it was managed by his father Bob Bradley. Michael Bradley had gotten his first cap a couple months before his father was named head coach, but there was definitely some questioning of whether he really deserved his spot early on. As for Will, the assistant manager report on him says that he'd be a decent player for a League One team right now and has the potential to become a good Premier League player. So he's certainly not awful, but he's also not good enough to be on a squad like Wrexham. On Thiago, I'd guess that would be part of it. I think it's probably also in part because he's playing for Wrexham- it's the only way I can figure guys like Mujkic and Shirra not getting shortlisted either. Otherwise how do we explain Bram Aarts, who got shortlisted after spending 6 months playing for Real Madrid? We just haven't earned the respect of the footballing world, despite two titles and a European championship. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Oct 17, 2014 |

tomanton posted:A couple overdue questions: is there much real-life precedent for a father football managing their son? Lots! Frank Lampard Sr coached Frank Lampard Jr at West Ham, managed by their respective Brother in law/Uncle, Harry Redknapp. Redknapp's own son Jamie bookended his career under his father, first at Bournemouth and finally at Southampton. On the international stage, Zlatko Kranjčar managed his son Nico for Croatia. The legendary Brian Clough managed his son Nigel to become the second highest scorer in Nottingham Forest's history. Ray Clemence very nearly managed it with his son Stephen on two occasions: He left the coaching setup at Spurs in 1994, three years before his son's debut, and he was involved in the England senior setup when Stephen got his sole U21 cap. Jordi Cruyff was under his father Johan's tutelage at Barcelona, and Sir Alex Ferguson cast his long, dark shadow over his son Darren briefly at Manchester United.

They're the only two stadiums still in use today that were built before the 1960s, and while there are some true gems in the set of stadiums that have been built over the last 25 years* they just don't have the weight of history. Also, the first round of replacement stadiums were built in the 1960s and they were almost all anodyne multi-sport stadiums that no one other than nostalgic supporters were sorry to see go. * I can speak from personal experience when I say that Camden Yards in Baltimore and Safeco in Seattle are gorgeous, amazing ballparks. I've also been told by literally everyone I know who's ever been there that PNC Park in Pittsburgh is an A+ place to see a game.

The Ballon D'Or seems to be heavily weighted to players at the 'biggest' clubs in the world. Some plank at Barcelona has won it about a dozen times in my game. Amusingly, when we played them in the Champions League Final, I'm not sure his name featured even once in the commentary, he was so anonymous.
