Think this story has been done before but not finished by a couple of members soseeing it again!
This is my first ever CM story (barring a “pass the parcel” chapter) after all of these years on the site so I’m very much dipping my toe in the water here
I like the way Samsami runs his stories of a daily update so I will be looking to do that and in not too much detail so hopefully people feel they can follow easily! (first couple of posts will be bigger)
Setup:
ODB - Start Year 2001
Tapani Patch 2.21
Saturn 1.4 Competition Renaming Patch
ODB £ currency
It’s the year 2001 and Swansea City have been through the mill from 1st Division high’s in the 1980’s to where we are today in this story
It’s 2001 and the club has been thrown into the doldrums and sold for £1! The buyer Is saddled with debt and agrees to sell the club to a number of local fans/businessmen for £100k
The club appoint a relative unknown in Redknapp69. A local boy given his chance in the “big time”. But the way the Swans are going he’ll have his work cut out to even keep them in the Top 4 English Division!
There wasn’t really a “press conference”. Due to a lack of interest in the club the only reporter present was from the local "rag"……………..
Reporter: So – Mr 69, what’s the origin of the surname then?!
Me: Let’s cut the chase. I’ve got a huge job to do here. Just call me “Redders” and we’ll be done with it
Reporter: Ok Redders. Why do you think you’re the man for the job and what do you expect to bring to this club
Me: No idea. You’ll have to ask the new owners! I plan to bring stability to the club which is well needed and to get the City engaged with the Club again
Reporter: How do you plan to do that?
Me: Christ – It’s day 1 and I’m 5 mins into the job! But firstly, I want to give local boys the opportunity so in every matchday squad I’ll have at least 3 Welsh players. This is something the fans want to see – “one of their own” in the team!
Reporter: Any idea on your style of play?
Me: Attacking. We’re not messing about here with the whole “parking a bus”. Goals win games! Formation wise – not sure yet as I’ve not seen the squad on the training pitch yet! I’m not doing any of this wib-wobbing shite that these "moden” managers are doing though. Tried and tested for me!
Reporter: Any backroom staff changes?
Me: Fecking ‘ell. Give me chance. I’ve not met the people that’s on the books so far so I’ll have a gander once I get out of this chuffing interview
Reporter: Indeed. Sorry Redders – We’ll leave you get on with things then! You do indeed have a mountain to climb but be assured that with the fans now owning the club and as I’m the only person interested in your appointment from a media side, we’ll all be behind you in hoping you can make this a success
And with that, I head into my office to check out how the squad and backroom staff looks……………….
Restrictions:
NO Wib Wob
3 Welsh players In EVERY matchday squad. If I cannot have 3 Welsh players I will lose 3 players from my bench/team
Will aim to bring in any Swansea players who played for the club from 2001 onwards – shortlist of those in next post. (But I am free to sign anyone)
No signing known CM 0102 "wonderkids"
