We Are United – 9
This is the ninth post in this “We Are United” series with Newcastle United – click here to read from the beginning if you’ve not already done so 👌. Today’s post is all about this man: If you’ve followed this blog from the beginning (go back and catch up, I’ll wait) – you’ll know that one of the objectives of this save in addition to restoring Newcastle to the pinnacle of English football (without Saudi cash) is to also recreate history on Tyneside by signing players that emulate or replicate previous Newcastle legends who left a legacy with the Geordie faithful. To date we have so far completed the following: Position Legend Nationality FM20 Version GK Shay Given Irish Gavin Bazunu RB Warren Barton English Max Aarons LB TBD TBD TBD DC Philippe Albert Belgian Zinho Vanheusden DC TBD TBD TBD MR Nolberto Solano Peruvian Christian Benevente ML TBD TBD TBD MC TBD TBD TBD MC Temuri Ketsbaia Georgian Valeri Qazaishvili STC Faustino Asprilla Colombian Alfredo Morelos STC TBD TBD TBD As you can see we still have some gaps to fill and today we will do exactly that; ladies and gentleman I give you David Ginola: David Désiré Marc Ginola (yes that’s his full name) signed for Newcastle in the summer of 1995, a year after becoming persona-non-grata in France following a mistake which led to Bulgaria scoring the goal that stopped France qualifying for World Cup 1994. He became a crucial part of Newcastle’s most successful Premier League side, whereby they famously finished second in consecutive seasons and it was only the departure of Kevin Keegan that led to Ginola’s departure to Tottenham following a breakdown in relations with new manager Kenny Dalglish. Despite that, Ginola is still firmly a fan favourite on Tyneside and although he went on to play for Spurs, Aston Villa and Everton it was at Newcastle where English fans clearly saw his best work. As is standard process in this blog series, we take to an earlier version of Championship Manager to give us the tools with which to go out and find the next David Ginola. Creativity (i.e. Vision), Flair, Passing, Set Pieces, Technique – the man was quite literally gifted, we may have a tough task on our hands trying to find an FM20 player to emulate “Le Magnifique” within our price range and interest level (writer’s note: cool the man crush). Aside from Dmitri Payet who would need to reconsider retirement should we deem him a person of interest, the most promising result is real-life Lyon player Florent Da Silva who ticks all the Ginola boxes including having an absolute masterpiece of a haircut. Newcastle fans will literally be reeling in the years seeing this lad on the turf at St. James Park if we can make a deal happen. The kicker? Tottenham have already beaten us to it, having already signed him at the beginning of last season for £9 million and the lad hasn’t even kicked a ball for them yet. Naturally when we make our bid they only ask for £64 million (exactly 25.6 times the price Newcastle paid for Ginola), so instead we go for the loan option in the hope that they will hopefully forget he is any good and let him go for about half of that at the end of the season. Sometimes one just isn’t enough though and a for me a loan deal isn’t enough to get him in our “Replicas” XI. If Da Silva has a decent season for us it will make it increasingly difficult to persuade Tottenham to let him go, so we returned to France to continue scouring through the leagues until we came across another youth prospect in the same mould as Monsieur Ginola. It’s takes £5m to convince Lyon to part with Bradley Barcola who looks like he could be the real deal based on his physical and technical attributes – I’m thinking Ginola meets Saint- Maiximin and potentially a whole new type of player on that left hand side. A New Season I could be called stubborn for how we’ve approached this transfer window (Writer’s note: of course you’re stubborn you’re Irish). Based on the fact that we spent heavily in the last two summer transfer windows, have bought a lot of players by only paying 50% up front with the rest spread over the next 2-3 seasons, and also looking at the age and potential of our current squad – we make two decisions with regards to transfers in this window: No marquee signings We will turn a profit in terms of transfer revenue With our finances still taking a hit every year due to installments for signings like Aarons and Szoboszlai, it’s time that we give something back to Chairman Blower in the form of adding back to our bank balance, and for the first time in this series we bring in more through player sales than we’ve spent on incoming transfers. £23.5 million is earned through the sales of Sean Longstaff (West Ham) and Paul Dummett (Sheffield Wednesday) while we ourselves only spend £17.5m in total which is pittance for the Premier League in 2022. Needless to say this is a somewhat risky transfer policy – I am banking on all of our younger players and previous signings to come good this season, with the likes of Bazunu, Vanheusden, Szoboszlai, Reyna and Esposito all ranging from 18-22 years old and playing regular first team football. If not – well, another difficult season could like ahead based on what our rivals (if you can call them that) have been up to during the transfer window…..no pressure there then…… Foreign Policy As you can see – we add a couple of interesting names to the side via the additions of American George Bello to cover at LB and Keisuke Miura who is an 18 year old promising Attacking Midfielder from Japan. Not only are both very good players, they also might help us to expand our market reach further afield and it will be interesting to see if we observe a financial benefit of these signings through shirt sales in the USA and Japan etc. Miura fails to obtain a work permit but we sign him anyway and immediately loan him out in the hope that we can score a work permit for him further down the line…more on this later! Saturday 30th August 2022 – In Game 💻 It’s the start of a new season here at St. James Park as Newcastle get ready to host Watford in the opening game of the 2022/2023 Premier League season. The visitors defied all expectations last season by finishing in 5th place last season, while Newcastle will look to improve on their 11th place finish if they are to meet the demands and expectations of the Toon Army faithful. Watford have been the far busier of these two sides during the summer transfer window, spending over £80 million on the likes of Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal – £34.5m), Brandon Williams (Man United – £20.5m), Joe Willock (Arsenal – £15.25m) and Javier Montero (Atletico Madrid – £9.75m) while Newcastle have had their quietest ever window, their most expensive summer signing being George Bello at Left Back who isn’t expected to start today. Will home advantage be enough for his young Newcastle side or will this rejuvenated Watford team that will play Europa League football this season have too much in the tank for the Geordies? Teams A fantastic win to kick off the season which inspires us to go on and win our first three games in a row – picking up a smashing 5-1 win over Crystal Palace before beating Arsenal 2-1 in front of a packed St. James Park stadium. It tool Liverpool to end this run, whereby we nearly held them only to succumb to a Sadio Mane header late in the second half, and then Southampton capitalised on this hangover to beat us 2-0 in St. Marys. After 5 games in our third season at Newcastle, we sit in 5th place and this writer is feeling somewhat positive and a little less sh*t at this game than in previous posts. That’s the dream right?

Football Manager – Day One
Note from the author: I wrote this article for The Byline, Football Manager’s official online blog platform – below is the original version, with the condensed version available on the Football Manager website here. 10 things you need to do before hitting that Continue button.. If you’re like me and usually take around 4 hours before hitting Continue after starting a new save, then you more than likely have Day One of FM nailed down by now. A combination of attempted perfectionism, OCD and general new save obsession means that days and weeks can pass before we reach our first league game..and I’m ok with it! If you are not as inclined to spend hours deciding which U18 Physios and Set Piece routines you will need in your first season, then it’s important to remember that Day One in FM can be critical in terms of ensuring you get the right things done from the very beginning and avoid being slow off the mark when it comes to sorting out your teams, tactics, player/staff recruitment and financial situation right from the moment you name your new career file before saving for the first time. Here are 10 essentials that every player should remember when starting a new save in Football Manager: 1. Engage the Board This might be an obvious one, but being fully aware of how much room to manoeuvre you have with your Transfer/Wage Budgets has a huge impact on player recruitment before you kick off a new season. Older versions of FM didn’t offer as much flexibility in terms of how you use your Chairman’s coveted cash however now as Managers, we have much more scope to squeeze every last penny and maximise our transfer and recruitment activity in modern day FM. Amending the budgets, asking for more and ensuring you are getting maximum revenue from player sales will all contribute to a better cash and bank balance as you commence your empire at the club. 2. Friendlies for Cash Most effective if you are managing a lower league club, but high-profile friendlies are a sure way to boost your finances during pre-season. When managing at League 1 or League 2 level, its possible to almost double or treble your bank balance by simply inviting a few of the big boys down for a kick about – you might sacrifice a bit of morale by getting a hiding, but it’s an excellent smash and grab technique to bring in some extra badly needed cash with which to bolster your squad. 3. Check Scouting Knowledge This is almost too easy to overlook especially if you are new to the game – when you go to do a player search, the default setting for your scouting range/budget is limited to domestic or nearby nations/players meaning any search you perform will only produce players from that area! This can easily be amended on the Player Search screen and can be expanded to widen your search parameters, or reduced if you’re in the business of saving funds!! Sidenote – when looking for “Interested” players that would join your club, don’t forget you can change the interest level and potentially identify some additional players that are willing to join you if the price is right! 4. Club Philosophy “The Manager knows the type of football they like to play up there”. Never underestimate a club’s football philosophy, especially in Football Manager. Reality would suggest that it’s the Manager, Coach and Players that dictate the style, tempo and tactic employed, however we must accept that this is a game built from lines of code and data in order to simulate reality. You can quickly learn a club’s preferred formation and playing style at the Add Manager screen and also after you select your club – it’s always good to think about putting your own stamp on the club’s playing philosophy but it’s no harm paying heed to this while you settle into the hotseat to ensure a smooth transition and pick up points asap. 5. Check Contracts and Release Clauses This can be vital – whether you’re an elite club or lower league minnows, securing your prize assets and tying them down to long term contracts (with no release clauses) should be one of your first actions when taking the helm at a new club. One click of that Continue button and suddenly a sniff of interest from a bigger club has your best player unsettled and throwing his toys out of the pram pushing for a move. They say retaining your best employees is far more important and cost effective than hiring new ones – Football Manager is no exception. This not only unsettles the player and leads to the inevitable demise of your working relationship – if they are in any way influential it won’t be long before they turn the whole team against you so get that contract signed asap! A quick amendment to your squad screen will allow you to view and sort your squad by contract expiry and/or release clause to ensure you have the chance to retain these players if desired. 6. Team Report – All Positions If you don’t necessarily know all your players and/or what formation to use – let the squad decide!! Checking the Team Report is common, but be sure to view “All Positions” to see where you have quality and depth and where you need to strengthen. You might not realise that you already have an unknown 4 star player in your rankings, allowing you to focus your budget and energies on other more important parts of the field. 7. Bargain Hunting The usual tricks are extremely effective – checking the Transfer List, Loan List and Expired/Expiring Contracts list always reveal some top-quality signings regardless of club or stature. However, there are a couple of additional techniques you can use to go even further down the FM bargain rabbit-hole and potentially pick up a gem for an absolute steal. Minimum Fee Release Clauses are a fantastic way of finding players at reduced cost especially as some leagues (e.g. La Liga) require all clubs to insert a Minimum Fee Release Clause in player contracts, hence why the likes of Messi and Suarez have €500m+ clauses that no-one in their right mind would trigger. However if you are lucky and know what you are looking for, you can often find a quality player whose release clause is close to or even lower than their actual value in FM. Some examples below to get you started. 8. Mind over Matter Football Manager requires strategy, intelligence, determination and at times extreme mental strength and resolve. Naturally the game also favours these attributes in players and staff in the game, so it’s worth taking this into account when signing players especially Wonderkids and Hot Prospects that have the potential to go all the way but are never guaranteed – attributes such as Determination and Decisions are essential however you cannot underestimate the importance of the Personality and Media Description values on a player’s profile. Even the most talented youngster can fail to meet their potential if they don’t have the mental strength to go with it. A simple amendment to the Player Search filters and columns can help to narrow down on players that have both the talent and mentality to succeed and therefore are worth splashing your chairman’s precious cash for their signature. 9. Staff & Facilities There is always a settling in period when joining a new club so you might as well shake things up – backroom staff play a key part in the success of any save and many FM players ignore this at the start in favour of transfers and rapidly clicking their way through pre-season etc. It’s essential from a training and scouting perspective to have the best staff in place to maximise your player development and recruitment early on – not to mention if you wait 3 months before signing new staff it can again unsettle things after you’ve already just passed through the honeymoon period! Bearing in mind the update on your first Youth Intake now comes earlier than previous versions, now is the time to get the right staff and best possible youth facilities / recruitment in place. And of course, as per #1 above – always ask for more 😏 10. Enjoy it! We all play FM for different reason, but for me the main enjoyment comes from picking the right club with the right level of challenge and finding as many ways possible to connect with and enjoy the save – whether it’s taking over your favourite club, resurrecting a fallen giant, lower-league mediocrity, global journeyman domination, content creation or playing a network save with your mates – giving your save a name, targets/goals, connecting with specific players/staff, comparing to the same club in real life and always quitting while you’re ahead (the session not the job 😄) mean that you’ll always be hungry for more, and FM can certainly provide as it has done and will continue to do for many many years. As the tagline goes – You Decide the Story. Cheers, MaddFM.
What if…Thierry Henry never handballed?
2009 is known in history for many landmark events – Global Recession, the release of Avatar, the death of Michael Jackson, Obama becomes the first ever African-American President of the United States, Somali Pirates attempt to hijack a cargo ship commanded by Captain Richard Phillips, Swine Flu, Miracle on the Hudson – suffice to say a lot happened in a world where Instagram didn’t exist yet and a 17 year old Neymar was was getting ready to make his debut for Santos in Brazil. If you are Irish (or just an advocate of justice) – then you will also remember 2009 as the year that one of the greatest sporting travesties in history occurred which has gone down in infamy as one of the biggest sporting miscarriages of justice the world has ever seen. 18th November 2009 – World Cup Playoff Leg 2 – Paris, France After winning the game 1-0 on the night courtesy of a goal from #WeStreamFM Wonderkid Hall of Fame inductee Robbie Keane, Ireland went up against France in extra-time at Stade de France with the World Cup 2010 playoff tie all square at 1-1 on aggregate. Having lost the first leg in Dublin to a Nicolas Anelka finish, Ireland had exceeded all expectations in the second leg by not only holding the French scoreless on their own turf, but also by winning the game and bringing Les Bleus to extra-time as both teams fought for a place at World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Ireland more than held their own until the 12th minute of extra-time when a free-kick whipped in by Florent Malouda was controversially controlled and handled by Thierry Henry at the back post, resulting in William Gallas heading home a winner to put the French through to the World Cup finals, sending Ireland home both empty handed and outraged at the official’s decision to allow the goal to stand. To this day, Irish fans are still incensed by the decision, unaided by the fact that Henry admitted to handling the ball after the game had finished and needless to say he probably hasn’t shown his face in an Irish pub since the infamous incident occurred. “Born on a wave of tears, righteous indignation and flat Guinness, thousands of dejected Irish football fans were arriving home from Paris today to a country united in fury and mourning over its controversial ejection from the World Cup finals next summer.” The Guardian, November 2009. But what if it never happened? What if Henry wasn’t in that exact place at that exact time, if William Gallas had stayed back like he should have or if Darren Gibson hadn’t committed the foul which resulted in Florent Malouda’s free-kick in the first place? What if none of it ever happened? There’s only one way to find out: World Cup 2010, South Africa It’s June 2010 and the Irish team have just landed in Cape Town after qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 2002, immediately hit by a wave of humidity and strange horn type noises that Damien Duff misinterprets as some kind of wild animal unleashed by the local football contingent. “Vuvuzelas lads” says John O’Shea, although his Waterford (South of Ireland) accent makes it sound like he’s had one too many Gin & Tonics on the 14 hour flight over. Understandable considering he watched Shakira’s “Waka Waka” World Cup song on repeat for the entire duration of the flight, regretting that it was his former Man United team mate Gerard Pique who got in there before him. The Irish have (fictionally) qualified for the World Cup for only the fourth time in their history, heroics of USA 94 and heartbreak of Japan & Korea 2002 firmly behind them. Hopes are high in the camp, particularly with France missing out on qualification. “Pity” thinks Richard Dunne, lovely bunch of lads they are especially your man up front. Ireland have been drawn in a challenging but equally qualifiable group alongside the Netherlands, Nigeria and Australia who are spearheaded by a man the Irish FA once attempted to change allegiances due to his Irish heritage, Tim Cahill. Having said that they have also tried the same with Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane and Kevin Nolan in the past but to no avail (let’s not even mention the Declan Rice saga), however English Goalkeeper Andrew Lonergan finds himself in the final 23 man squad as 3rd choice keeper – I wonder should someone tell him he will pushing for the title with Liverpool in 10 years? The Dutch are natural favourites to top the group, boasting the likes of Van Persie, Robben, Sneijder and Van Der Vaart in their ranks who in real life led them all the way to the final back in 2010. Nigeria will be no rollover especially with the power and pace of Obafemi Martins and Chinedu Obasi up front, not to mention the steel of Joseph Yobo and Jon Obi Mikel in their Central Defence/Midfield area. Can this mixed bag of Irish Premier League regulars and Championship misfits help Ireland exceed their best ever quarter final finish 20 years ago at Italia ’90? (#OleOle). Goalkeepers: Shay Given (Man City), Colin Doyle (Birmingham), Andrew Lonergan (Preston) Defenders: John O’Shea (Man Utd), Andy O’Brien (Newcastle), Richard Dunne (Aston Villa), Stephen Ward (Wolves), Stephen Kelly (Fulham), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Chris McCann (Burnley) Midfielders: Glenn Whelan (Stoke), Keith Andrews (Birmingham), Steven Reid (Blackburn Rovers), Aiden McGeady (Celtic), Damien Duff (Fulham), Stephen Hunt (Hull City), Liam Lawrence (Stoke), Darren Gibson (Man Utd) Forwards: Robbie Keane (Tottenham), Kevin Doyle (Wolves), Leon Best (Newcastle), Shane Long (Reading) Now this is 10 years ago…Seamus Coleman has just turned 21 years old and no-one knows he is the best right back in the world yet (yes I just said that); Shay Given is 34 and wishes he never left the bright lights of Newcastle, while James McCarthy isn’t even old enough to drink in South Africa. Ireland’s hopes will lie with Robbie Keane and Damien Duff again just as they did 8 years ago in Japan and South Korea. Tuesday 15th June 2010 – Greenpoint Stadium, Cape Town. Ireland vs Nigeria – World Cup 2010 Group G It was Nigeria who started strongest, with early chances falling for both Obafemi Martins and Chinedu Obasi. The latter has actually signed for Barcelona within this FM universe so take from that what you will. After being previously caught in a tug of war between Man Utd and Chelsea Jon Obi Mikel is pulling the strings in midfield, but his Irish counterpart Glenn Whelan looks more than capable of handling him in the Ireland engine room. Nigeria are starting to get their groove on when the unthinkable happens – a throw-in in the Ireland half leads so some quick passing from the Ireland team, before Keith Andrews threads a ball through to Robbie Keane whose finishing as always is unquestionable…GOAL FOR IRELAND!!!!! Irish fans don’t know how to react – elation, apprehension, excitement and fear all come in a wave at once and even the vuvuzelas can’t drown out the celebrations despite the fact that we are only 9 minutes into this epic encounter. Fully not used to being ahead so early on and having to defend a lead (see Ireland vs France, Euro 2016 Quarter Final for further info) – can the boys in green hang on to claim a precious win against the Nigerians? A never-doubted rock-solid performance from Richard Dunne and Andy O’Brien lead to Ireland picking up all 3 points in Cape Town, while over in Durban there has been late drama as Arjen Robben’s 95th minute goal puts Holland 2-1 up against Australia before ex-Newcastle and Rangers defender Craig Moore heads home a 97th minute equaliser for the Socceroos, causing absolute scenes with the Aussie fans who jump higher than a kangaroo on a trampoline with joy. Ireland are top of Group G after Game 1 of the World Cup! Sunday 20th June 2010 – Free State Stadium, Bloemfontain Holland vs Ireland – World Cup 2010 Group G Needless to say a much tougher encounter is on the cards in our next game as we face Holland who as we know went on to the final of this tournament only to narrowly lose to Spain in extra time. Luckily for us, Wesley Sneijder is out injured for the rest of the tournament, his place taken by Nigel De Jong who has less fond memories of that final due to the red card earned which gave Spain the upper hand. Unfortunately Damien Duff is also out through injury as Ireland make two changes, Stephen Hunt replacing him and Steven Reid taking the place of Keith Andrews in midfield. Is the word deja-vu French or Dutch?? De Jong almosts lasts the full game without getting sent off until he is given his marching orders on 93 minutes, clearly frustrated by another given which was Shay in the Irish goals who managed to produce a string of saves to earn Ireland a clean sheet and a valuable point against one of the tournament favourites. Over in Pretoria, Nigeria have been the Aussies 2-1 and somehow we’ve managed to stay top of the group despite only scoring one one goal in two games – it’s an absolute tactical masterclass (writer’s note: pffftt). Friday 25th June 2010 – Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg. Ireland vs Australia – World Cup 2010 Group G You’d have to be confident against Australia. Aside from a 31 year old Harry Kewell who is currently plying his trade at Galatasaray along with our brother from another mother Tim Cahill, they haven’t got a lot to offer and never has an Ireland team had such an opportunity to progress to the last 16 of a major tournament. Fosters anyone? With Duff still out injured and Whelan suspended, Hunt keeps his place and Darren Gibson makes his first appearance of the tournament. No silly tackles Darren yeah? (thankfully he’s not driving over here either). we assign him to look after Cahill, while hopefully Harry Kewell can be kept quiet so we can send him packing to the bright lights of the Turkish Super Lig. It almost went perfectly, Ireland defending admirably although the same could be said for Australia right up until Kevin Doyle opened the scoring on 64 mins. We brought on James McCarthy and Stephen Ward to try and see out the game however Mark Bresciano equalised on 77 minutes to earn a point for the Australians – we can get over that though, WE’VE QUALIFIED FOR THE LAST 16!! Our 5 points mean we have a chance of finishing top of the group depending on how things ended over in Ellis Park just 15 mins down the road.. It’s a shock result for the Dutch as Nigeria romp home to a 3-1 victory, meaning Holland fail to win a game and actually finish bottom of the group on goal difference! Unfortunately Taye Taiwo’s 79th minute penalty means we finish second and therefore get a potentially harder draw in the next round. Tuesday 29th June 2010 – Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane. Ireland vs Cameroon – World Cup 2010 Last 16 The shock results didn’t stop at Nigeria beating Holland as over in Port Elizabeth, World Cup favourites have been beaten 1-0 by Cameroon and this coupled with a 0-0 draw against Honduras in their second game means they are knocked out of Group H. Had they qualified they would be our next opponents and we would surely be on the next flight home; instead we now face an in-form Cameroon who topped their group led by that man Samuel Eto’o – he will…
