Career Royal Knokke F.C - My Philosophy

SSolas · September 6, 2021

CHOOSING THE SQUAD

I chose Royal Knokke F.C because they were one the smaller clubs in the Belgian 3rd Division. The club was formed in 1905 but has no real history of playing football at a high level. This is my final tester career which will focus on buying players with PACE & POSITIONING.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

I asked the Royal Knokke F.C board to improve the facilities & stadium. The board declined to improve the clubs facilities. The stadium also remain at 3,000 capacity.

STAFF, FINANCES & TRAINING

The training regime was delegated to Assistant Manager Bernard Smeets.The finances are secure due to good business done. The staff room is now full & in some ways improved with 2x new intermediate coaches.

SQUAD

Again, Many transfers bought in & out of the club based on my philosophy. The transfers in specialised in PACE & POSITIONING.The players out did not reach the same quality as the players bought in.

TACTIC

I used my Attacking Tiki Taka Tactic for this career. The tactic was consistent good throughout the season but brought inconsistent results with Draws & loses. That said, the defence was the best in the league again, the attack was good & we did go 14 games without a loss.

THE RESULT

The result of my 1st season with Royal Knokke F.C & my 1st season with this transfer policy was successful, winning the league by 3 points in the championship playoffs. The club were only aiming for a mid table finish, so promotion is a great achievement. On the flip side, there were some inconsistencies throughout the season, indicated with 50% of games being Draws or losses.
