THE NATIONALIST CHALLENGE


So I've begun the Nationalist challenge with Manchester United and I must admit I've taken a pretty radical approach to it.

I've fired every staff member I could possibly fire who wasn't born in England and every foreign player has been shipped on or placed in the reserves. No more Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic, Nani or Darren Fletcher, I'm reshaping this club from top to bottom and I'm doing it today, I'm wasting no time.

So my first piece of business as United boss was to obviously try sell as many of the players who weren't born in England and I did quite well I guess, raising a fair bit of money, all of that going towards funding the acquisition of new players, all born in England of course.

You can see my transfer business below and I don't think I've done to bad.

THE NATIONALIST CHALLENGE

2012 - 2013 PRE SEASON REPORT


The screenshots sum it all up really, we were atrocious and were outclassed. I'm very skeptical about our chances in the upcoming Premier League season, I mean we're leaking goals and haven't scored one yet despite having Rooney and Welbeck up front, I'm nervous and scared what will happen on the opening day away against West Ham.

Yeah it's a real drastic change and it might be to quick.

I guess time will tell if I made a huge mistake, I mean if I don't challenge for the Premier League title I'll be sacked and the challenge will be over before it's really begun, hopefully that doesn't happen.

THE NATIONALIST CHALLENGE

Season Update: 01/08/2012 - 01/11/2012


Amazing!! That's the only way I can describe my first three months in charge at Old Trafford, absolutely amazing.

With the amount of players that left and our dreadful pre season I honestly had little hope that we'd start the Premier League season well enough to be title contenders come the January transfer window, how wrong I was. We've been in fantastic form and the squad has blended together quite well, a lot better than our pre season form suggested they could.

The obvious highlights are the wins over Arsenal and Fenerbache at Old Trafford, whilst the victory over West Ham on the opening day was extremely pleasing, I always hate playing at Upton Park so it was brilliant to win what was a thrilling game of football. As you can see we've started well in the Champions League and sit second in Group H just behind Gladbach, who actually beat us 2-1 at their place, I'm not concerned though, we should beat them and Ajax at Old Trafford, that'll be enough to seal our passage into the draw for the knockout round.

The end to October was obviously far from ideal but I'm confident we'll bounce back.

I should point out that the games against Gillingham and Everton are in the Capital One Cup.

I have a similar save going with Arsenal at the moment, I suggest not doing such a rapid fire sale of the foreigners, I am currently going into the 2016/17 season and still have one foreigner left in the club and that is Marco Verratti. I haven't found a good replacement for him yet in my line up who is English. I do have a couple good young regens coming through.

My main suggestion is when the youth intake comes unless you want them all to come from your club, scout all of the new English regens from the clubs who have great youth facilities. I have poached some good players from the likes of United, Southampton, West Ham and Chelsea already.

It's to late now, what's done is done.

Yeah it was always going to be difficult selling everyone first up and replacing them with good players. I feel the first team is still quite good, but if suspensions, injury and fatigue set in we'll struggle to match City, Spurs and Chelsea who won't have those issues.

THE NATIONALIST CHALLENGE

Season Update: 02/11/2012 - 02/12/2012


So the month of November was a testing one and results were a bit inconsistent. At this stage it looks as if Spurs are going to win the Premier League, I mean they've started in almost perfect fashion and it would have been difficult to match that even with the original Manchester United squad, let alone and English side that's been thrown together in a short space of time. Very disappointing results against Fenerbache and our rivals Manchester City, at least we're guaranteed progression from our Champions League group though!!

You could play it that way if you want, there isn't really a right or wrong way, I just wanted to play it being extremely strict, so no foreigners at all from the start and only players who can play for England.

I would say as they each have their own separate football associations then you could only pick players from one particular country and not a mixture of UK nationalities.

My Arsenal save has two Welsh players in it and everyone else is English. My staff on the other hand is from many different countries so I guess that might not make it right haha. I signed Gareth Bale from Tottenham and had Aaron Ramsey from the start. Also how many of your players usually get called up to the national team? RIght now in 2016 I usually have 13 players on the England national squad.

Usually it's Rooney, Welbeck, Young, Carrick, Cleverley, Jones, Smalling and Ferdinand.
