Hey everyone! This is my first RTG. I'm aware that everyone and their dads have done an RTG with Salford but I really wanted to do one ever since i got the game in January. It's a really long post and I've tried to keep it as interesting as I could (apologies if it was boring). Would really appreciate criticism and opinions in the comments!
Introduction
In 2019, Salford City won the National League North final and got themselves promoted to the English Football League. Owned by Manchester United legends Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and David Beckham as well as Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, the club didnβt agree to the terms set by manager Alexander Graham and parted with him on mutual consent.
Salford City announced that a new manager would be appointed for the 2019/20 season but in a completely surprising turn of events, co-owner Gary Neville gave up his punditry job at Sky Sports and became the new manager. Rumours were spreading that the club were making a hasty and unthoughtful decision considering Garyβs poor management at Valencia but the Class of β92 believe in his ambitions and plans for the club. What remains to be seen is how they fair under their new manager.
Season 1 rules
- Heavily focusing on dynamic potential.
- Only sign Free Agents. Max of 3 pre-contract signings for next season(Ovr less than 66 and Pot less than 75).
- Only 1 2*2* YA scout. Only scout in England. Pot less than 75
Bonus Challenge
To integrate a squad consisting of players that were in the ManUtd academy before but never made it big. They now play in the lower divisions so use dynamic potential to show they have it them to be PL quality.
Season Overview
Preseason didnβt end well as Salford got knocked out in the group stages itself. But it was a learning curve for The Lions. Neville signed Free Agents Ross(GK), Ridenton(CDM) and Blazic(CB). In other news FreeAgents fans were devastated because of their departure and wanted their manager fired for letting these players go for an aggregate sum of Β£0.
The focus was now on winning the league for Salford. Although it was his first season incharge Neville was determined to win it.
My horrendous attempt on creating Gary Neville
After the first game things started going downhill. Salford managed just 2 wins and 3 draws in the first two
