Welcome folks to my first post about my story with Newcastle United. My team are currently in the Coca-Cola Championship and my goal this year is to get them back promoted to the English Premier League.
Transfers
I was given a good transfer budget of £1.5 million but because of the poor financial position at Newcastle (£100 million debt!) I decided not to use any of it. I managed to get two Premier League quality players on loan though…..
The loan acquisitions of Aaron Ramsey and Kiko Macheda were amazing for me. Have a look at their stats:
Aaron Ramsey
He is a great player whom I think was a great snap by myself and I was surprised that Arsenal had allowed him to go out on loan. Here is my other gem, Federico Macheda.
Federico Macheda
I am not surprised that Man Utd let him go considering his age and I am sure that he shall develop hugely with consistent first team football. I know of Macheda’s ability myself as I am a Man Utd fan and I am 100% confident he will score plenty goals in the Championship. I feel that the signings of Ramsey and Macheda will be a massive benefit to us.
Friendlies
I do not play my friendlies so I tend not to pay too much attention to them but here they are anyway:
They were a good work out for the team and I am satisfied with the results :)
So, there is my first post about my Newcastle career and I hope you enjoyed reading it. The next post will be about my first games in charge of Newcastle in my quest to lift them back up to domestic glory!
Thank you for reading,
Calum

Hi Calum, great signings there mate! Ramsey and Macheda should be brilliant for you, I think they will fire you to promotion!

@Laxeyman: Thank you and I share your opinion that they will really boost our promotion hopes.

Nice transfers-i’m sure you’ll get promoted first season. Try and get yannick djalo from Lisbon. Quality player for me, 40 goals for just 800k

@ Joseph: Thanks Joseph, I have had a look at Yannick Djalo and I would have bought him but he is on loan at Bolton so I cannot buy him.

From what I remember the squad is pretty good so with these two loanees you should be pretty well covered. Good luck!

@Johnny: Yes, the squad is pretty good and I am pleased with the depth of the squad after these two signings. Thank you for the good luck wish! :)

Shouldn’t have any real problems getting promoted but that debt is more than i expected for Newcastle, then again I’m not too into the English premier league.
Newcastle has a very good team already and with Ramsey and Macheda you get some added flair.
Good luck Calum.

Awesome signings there, very surprised Arsenal let one of their great youngsters go, but I guess it’s only on loan.
I’m looking forward to your next posts and can’t wait to see the toon back where they belong.

Hi Calum, the squad is pretty settled with Ramsey and Macheda joining the squad. Looking forward to your games in August.
Calum

@Majk: Yes, the squad is now very strong now and I hope I can get promoted relitively easily.
@MasterfulVivi: I was very surprised too that Arsenal let him go as he is certainly good enough for the Premier League.
@Lye: Yes, the squad morale seems to be a bit happier after these two signings (maybe they brought in some enthusiasm).
Thanks for the support guys and I will post my next post maybe today or tomorrow.

Having experience of taking Newcastle to the Premier League you should find it quite easy to get them back into the Premier League at the first attempt. I loaned Macheda in my first season as well and he was one of my players of the season.
Hopefully you will get pormoted and we will see how well you do in the Premiership.

Good Signings Calum, Ramsey Is Good On My Notts Co Game, He Moved To Atl Madrid On A Free, And Now He’s One Of Their Best Players Getting Tons Of Assists Every Season!

@Martin:Thank you Martin, it would be ideal if I get Ramsey on permanent at some point but we will see :)
