The Riverside Tour: A Middlesbrough F.C. Dynasty (FIFA 09)
* NOTE: I know that for the 09-10 season The Boro have been relegated. However, I ask you to look past history for the purposes of this dynasty.
The Sun
Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough-
New Beginning
As newly appointed Middlesbrough manager, Jason Marad, took the stage he neglected to reflect on the past struggles of The Boro. His stern gaze forward represented what he meant for this hallowed club, progress. "The failures are in the past", Marad said, "this is a look into the future. We owe it to our supporters to begin to take a step forward and start playing some proper football." However, as much as he may want to, Marad cannot escape this club's failure over the past few seasons. For the last five campaigns they have only finished in the top 10 once.
Tactis
After adressing the media on the importance of focusing on the future, not the past for this club, Marad then went on to review his intended tactis for the upcoming season. "We will stick with the 4-4-2 formation. We will play conservative, counter attacking style football. It would be foolish of us to go out and try to play the fast paced, attacking football such as that of Manchester and Chelsea. We simply do not have the players to properly play that way. We will play our game. Calmn, conservative, and most importantly, intellegent."
Transfers
With the transfer period open for about a month at the beginning of this season, Marad has already begun to make some changes. Backup goalkeeper Brad Jones ($580,000), center back Chris Riggot ($500,000), and striker Marlon King ($3,600,000) have all been put up for sale. With a budget of $18,450,000, Marad also has some cash to make a few moves in the market. "It would be silly of me to disclose our interest to you. However, I can tell you that I have not limited my options to any one position. I do have a few players in mind but I am open and willing to purchase any player who I feel will fit into my system."
Sponsor
Along with their new manager, Middlesbrough has also signed with a new sponsor. Taucer Insurance, who boast, "Offering car and home insurance, Taucer is the largest regional insurnace company. With friendly and helpful staff, Taucer tackes the hassle out of insurance." The sponsorship funding is as follows:
Match funding: $975,990
Loyalty qualifier: Finish in top 3 ($1,168,500)
Bonus Requirements: Become league champion ($1,528,400), Win a domestic cup ($2,078,700)
Season Objective: Finish top 3 in the league
Other notes: World class difficulty with 6 minute halves.
Thanks for everyone who stopped by! More to come!!!!!
