Career Barnet FC - My Philosophy

SSolas · August 25, 2021

CHOOSING THE SQUAD

I chose Barnet FC because they were my local club growing up. They have really struggled in recent years with a different home, different managers & Yo-Yo results. I wanted to use my Philosophy to try & change their fortunes.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

On my 1st day at Barnet FC, I asked the board to improve the stadium & facilities. The board did improve the clubs youth facilities which are now good, with the 1st Team Training Facilities listed as 'impressive'. The stadium remains unchanged with the club playing at the bigger 'Hive' Stadium in Edgware.

STAFF,FINANCES & TRAINING

The training was delegated over to Assistant Manager & United Legend Roy Keane. The Staff Room got improved & filled out with quite a few Silver Badges in there. The finances are OK but wages are over due to the summer transfer signings.

SQUAD

The squad went through a huge overhaul in the summer transfer market, with players having to match the philosophy. The players into the club met our specifications of 20-30yr olds(not injured), searching by PACE/STAMINA & POSITIONING. The players out were not good enough for my squad & over 21yrs old.

TACTIC

I used my Attacking Tiki Taka Tactic for this career. The tactic worked incredibly well & was very consistent, delivering mostly wins & draws(maybe too many). We had the best defence in the league by a mile but had one of the worst attacks which will need to be looked into.

THE RESULT

In my very 1st season at my local club of Barnet FC & Promotion to the football league was confirmed via the playoff places. We drew too many matches but had an impressive 56% win rate & only lost 8 matches all season. We conceded the least amount of goals & most clean sheets but 11th for goals so this needs to be improved.
