sage Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 So imagine you're NC and after finishing 12th, you are told at best, you need to keep wages at the current level and you can only spend what you raise in sales. Add to that Barker is out for a year and Davies won't sign a new contract for personal reasons. What would you do differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 In all honesty I just don't know. But hey, I'm the only guy on the forum who haven't won anything with Derby in football manager so I can't be expected to handle the real world either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hard question to answer without knowing what the players are on, and using FM style valuations. And are we talking a few days before Shackell was sold? I'm guessing that's why this question has been raised. I'd start with the keepers by releasing Deeney, loaning out Atkins with a recall option. In defence wouldn't of allowed any outgoings Midfield again no outgoings Up top raffle Tyson off pound a ticket, sell Ball (sorry I just don't see it with him) Outgoings Maguire, Green, Davies, Tyson, Ball, Croft Incomings Jacobs Maguire and Jacobs probably equal each other out just about. Using money raised from Davies, Tyson and Ball bring in a striker (Reading got Le Fondre 350k, it can be done on the cheap), use the loan market to bring in a young centre mid and left back for backup. Tell the fans to expect a similar finish to last season as its going to be a tough league this year, none of this promotion bullshit. Give Bennett and Hughes a few games invite Prem scouts down and hopefully cash in on those two next summer and strike a deal to keep them on loan for a season.

How much do you think we'd get for Davies, Tyson and Ball? about a million i'd have thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stedcfc Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Davies 400-500k Tyson 200-250k Ball 200-250k £1m sounds about right yeah This means you would start the season with 2 recognised strikers theo and whoever you bought. I'm guessing you'd then hope they have no injuries or suspensions all year? I'd do exactly what Clough has done as we do have cover at centre back even though it's not the best and the money for shackells is the same as those 3 put together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would go in there and demand for more money. But Cloughie can't because if they do tell him to clear off he would have to do the badges.

smiffy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I agree with the resign bit, but what scares me is the septics would give the job to one of the backroom boys, and save a bit more cash 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacko:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all sorted don't panic, sent Nigel an email and told him to fetch Shackell back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would hire myself as manager and bring in foreign players.. I'd also have us playing good football and we'd win promotion.. I'd also charge the booers who get impatient everytime we string 3 passes together double.. Hopefully it will drive them away as they simply know nothing about football..

Alph Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'd of kept Shackell unless he requested to leave. Sell Savies, never of bought Tyson...... Sell Tyson, keep Bailey, flog Bavies instead. Bavies 250k? Savies 500k? Buy a striker. Next priority a CM who's brave. Flog Doyle and Croft and Deeney for owt. Moan in the press how we need to invest to improve. No LB cover, not enough CBs. Never play 442 again without good wingers and a striker who's good in the air. Oh, and tell moaners on message boards to stop second guessing me cus I'm calling the shots.
