CHOOSING THIS CLUB

I chose to manage Athlone Town FC for one reason - the challenge. The club plays in the First Division which mean's we'll need to work hard to get this club moving up the leagues. The club has a rich history & passionate fanbase, so should be an exciting career.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

The Infrastructure of Athlone Town FC is poor. The 1st team & Youth Facilities are poor. The stadium holds 5,000 supporters with around 4,000 attending weekly.

STAFF, TRAINING & FINANCES

The training system has been delegated to Gordon Brett. The finances are OK but the squad did get a complete overhaul. The staffroom is full but we are lacking an additional scout.

SQUAD

The squad which I opened the door to were poor & unlikely to challenge for the league title which is always my aim. All the players not good enough for Athlone Town FC were released giving me £183 to build the squad. I built the new squad using the following attributes:

  • GK - HANDLING/REFLEXES/POSITIONING/KICKING
  • OUTFIELD- STAMINA/PACE/AGGRESION/TEAMWORK

TACTICS

I used my Controlling FC Barcelona Tiki Taka Tactic which has been successful for me so far. The tactic works fantastic defensively with the most clean sheets & the least goals conceeded. That said, we scored the least goals so room for improvement.

THE RESULT

We did win the Airtricity First Division in our first season at the club. The league was won definitely through our defensive work, pressing all over the pitch with mosty Wins or Draws. This said, again we struggled in the cups & the league shows we were inconsistent with more goals needed. Hopefully we improve this in the next season.

That's a proper rebuild of the squad and proves that rebuilding and instant success *can* be said in the same breath 👍 good stuff!

Season Two - Athlone Town FC Champions.

THE RESULT

The 2nd season with Athlone Town FC & we won the FAI cup & Airtricity Premier League!🏆🏆 This season was much tougher than the 1st season & we only won the league by 1 point & won the cup in penalties. As you can see in the league, Our defence is solid but our attack could do with some work. It is nice to take this club to this position & see the rise. I changed the attributes I looked for in this half to the following:

  • GK: HAN/REF/DEC/PAC
  • Outfield: STA/PACE/TEA/DEC

Looking good mate, who knows in the future when you have a team of world beaters, Europe, cups and continuing with the leagues, keep trying to build the Training facilities which will speed up your players coming through the ranks.
