2.1. Return of the King
Contents : financial analysis (or lack thereof), major squad rebuilding, you can’t win anything with kids, Irish Overseas, La Liga opener, VAR and the Prodigal Son returns 🔥 🎵 Suggested tune: “Without Me – Eminem (Acoustic Cover)” 🎵 It’s official – Los Chicharreros a.k.a. CD Tenerife are back in La Liga Santander. Operation “Roy de los Rovers” is well underway and it’s so far so good for life on the island ☀️⚽. We exceeded our initial objectives and managed to gain promotion at the first time of asking, albeit through a grueling 50 game season that included 4 playoff games to seal our fate…thank f*ck we didn’t go on a decent cup run! While the lads went about their business for the summer break, there was no time to hit the beach for me as an immediate major squad rebuild is of the essence – especially considering the bookies are tipping us for immediate relegation this season: The first piece of good news comes from our good patriarch Senior Miguel Concepcion, who advises that he agrees with my pleas for an upgrade to our training facilities and is going to shell out €1,000,000 over the next 12 months to pimp out our training ground at El Mundialito. The other piece of good news comes in the form of two successful contract renewals. After being linked with a move to Liverpool, 18 year old German CB Yann-Auriel Bisseck dismisses all speculation and signs a new 4 year deal with us that most importantly now has a €20 million release clause compared to the previous €5 million one. You’ll Never Walk Alone is now You Will Never Get This! This also encourages Carles Alena to want to remain at Los Chicharreros for another year, as both he and Barcelona agreed to extend his loan deal for a further season – a great piece of business as good as a new transfer signing, we will need all the La Liga level talent we can get to ensure our survival. Finances💰 Speaking of money – finances are not something I usually spend a whole lot of time on in Football Manager, I usually just focus about Transfer and Wage budgets and let the suits deal with the rest behind the scenes. However my perception has since been changed after reading @FMGrasshopper‘s really insightful and informative article about what he calls “The Glass Ceiling” at his club Lorient, something which I hadn’t considered previously with regard to income mainly due to the fact that the English Premier League (where I traditionally would have managed before) is absolutely flooded with cash while the Spanish League does not offer the same financial windfall. In his article, he analyses how the club struggles to increase it’s income year on year due to the fact that they are already maximising their stadium, sponsorship and TV revenue, and nothing short of European Qualification will significantly increase this. The more I think about it, the more I fear the same could happen here at Tenerife largely due to the fact that we pretty much sold out most of our home games in SD2 last season at Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez (c. 22,284) and Senior Concepcion isn’t yet willing to invest in that side of the infrastructure just yet. Being in La Liga (and hopefully staying there), I would hope that we will be able to increase our TV Revenue and Sponsorship which in turn might help us to convince Miggy to reinvest in the stadium. These were our main income sources last season (excluding Gate Receipts and Season Tickets), so it will be interesting to see what this looks like as our first season in La Liga progresses. The sad reality comes later when we realise we are rock bottom of the commercial income pool – quite literally, we are the lowest earning team in terms of commercial revenue which means I will need to step up the game in terms of how I manage and concentrate on is revenue and finances. Our Glass Ceiling is most certainly a real threat to watch out for – it might not be the biggest but it’s certainly up there (#loveagoodpun). Recruitment Naturally, the change to our league status means a change to our personnel here at Los Chicharreros. Senior Concepcion informs us that we will be given €8.25 million to spend in the transfer window as we embark on our first mission which is La Liga survival. “€8.25 million?!” I exclaim, “sure that will barely cover the cost of a flight over here for anyone that might join us?!“. Miguel is not impressed and advises that I can ask as much as I like but it won’t do any good, so I storm out the door and start taking off my shoes and socks to start counting about how many youth prospects I can afford with that amount of cash. Looks like I can stretch it to around €10 million if I am clever with the budget, so myself and Inigo get the pen and paper out to discuss transfer targets and have a few games of naughts and crosses in between. First in the door is a player we had previously at Blackburn during my first FM19 save – Ademola Lookman arrives from Everton on a season long loan after making just 7 appearances for The Toffees last season. Lookman was emmense during my Championship winning first season at Blackburn where he won both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year, so I am hoping for more of the same from him as he flies South over the Atlantic Ocean. Next in the door are two youth prospects, one of whom we mentioned in a previous post as we attempt to fill @FMEdmundo‘s recommended objective of signing and developing an Irish youth prospect. First, American midfielder Gedion Zelalem arrives on a free transfer after being released by Arsenal having never played a competitive game for the Senior team, his attributes aren’t too bad for a free signing and hopefully he can build upon his current 3 star potential. 18 yr old half-Irish/half-Swedish Ryan Johansson also joins the club on a season long loan from Bayern Munich, mainly as a way for us to get an in-depth scouting report to see if he would be worth the €7 million they wanted for him initially. Upon arrival however, we see that he has seemingly declared for Sweden over the Republic of Ireland (not another Declan Rice situation!), which is upsetting considering he has apparently declared for the boys in green in real life. Our first fee-paying signing is a somewhat controversial one. After a lot of deliberating and thanks to some reassurance from one of my trusted advisers on Twitter @FMPoacher, we decided to bring in Ruben Semedo from Villareal for what will hopefully be a decent value €1.3m (€700K up front). For those of you not aware, Semedo (a beast in previous FM versions) landed himself in serious hot water after an incident in which he and some friends allegedly tied up and assaulted an individual before they burgled his home – later declaring that they were trying to recover money loaned to the man. Semedo was jailed in 2017 and later released on bail in July 2018. Let me quickly state that this signing in no way condones his actions or behaviour; the reality is that he is quite a decent Centre Back in the game and with my limited budget it was the most logical signing available considering I have yet to sign our main transfer priority: a Striker, and hopefully someone that can contend to be our next Roy de Los Rovers. Next off the plane are not one but two full backs on loan from the German Bundesliga which are definitely badly needed as we have been quite weak in terms of strength and depth in that department. Well known (in FM) right sided German wing back Felix Passlack arrives from Borussia Dortmund on a season long loan after playing 40 games for Norwich in the Championship last season; he is closely followed by Austrian left back Marco Friedl who arrives on loan from Bayern Munich; both players have 4 star potential and have really decent all round attributes, and hopefully they will be good enough for La Liga this season (although wait until you see the La Liga Top Scorer odds that I will show you shortly before making any assumptions about my defence! #thestruggleisreal). So far so good, we’ve managed to bring in 6 players for less than €1 million of our current transfer budget. Inigo is getting antsy with the first game of the season soon approaching, especially considering the fact that we still haven’t found a Striker as yet. With Fernando Coniglio and Nano finishing their loans at the end of last season, we currently only have one first team Striker in the squad in Jose Naranjo so its time to get the skates on and ask Miguel to get the checkbook out again. I must have spent 3 hours scouting strikers….several targets were identified and I had bids accepted for John Guidetti, Kaspar Dolberg, Adalberto Penaranda, Tammy Abraham, Oliver and Divock Origi – all of whom declined to even enter contract negotiations (b*stards), and time was quickly running out for us to find one let alone two strikers to move to Los Chicharreros. Finally we reached a positive outcome when we agreed a deal with Crvena Zvezda to sign 20 year old Serbian wonderkid Dejan Joveljic. Dubbed the next Slobodan Santrac, Joveljic has a long way to go in terms of attributes however hopefully we can develop him here and build on his current 4 star potential. I have seen a few community members mention him on Twitter etc so let’s hope he can bring something to the team! Panic Stations We suddenly find ourselves in a perilous situation – it’s transfer deadline day and we still haven’t found a Striker that we hope will be our main goal-scoring threat this season as we look to ascertain our place in La Liga Santander. Repeat bids for all of the above failed again (Origi chose Southampton while Guidetti opted for Alaves 🤬). Will there be time for CD Tenerife to sign anyone before the transfer window closes?! Admittedly – I panicked; I did something I rarely have ever done in agreeing to pay Sao Paulo €775k per month for Brenner, adding up to around €6.5 – €7 million for the year. Possibly an absolute waste of money, however if we can get 15 goals out of him I feel it will be a small price to pay if it helps us stay up this season. I actually first came across Brenner in @fryman7′s OTBC Youtube series with Norwich City last year in FM18, where he developed nicely and ended up banging in loads of goals for last year’s FMWEC Champion (I recommend checking out his YT channel 👍) Hopefully he can hit the ground running and replicate this form for Los Chicharreros, and looking at his attributes he certainly has the potential to shake things up at this level. So that’s the transfer window done and dust….shit wait, there is still one absolutely banging signing to tell you about! El Retorno del Rey (The Return of the king) We had mentioned before (only once or twice :P) that our current blog/save adventure is entitled “Roy De Los Rovers“, if you haven’t already read why please feel free to check out the full story here. For the shortened version, see below: Roy Makaay, our former scores goals for fun absolutely banging shithouse Striker, returns to the club as a coach for the Tenerife first team. Makaay, having spent the last 6 seasons as a youth coach at Feyenoord, is no stranger to Tenerife having spent two seasons here before moving on to Deportivo La Coruna and later Bayern Munich where he…
