Hattrick manager blog

The most important commodity in the game is time. It is important to manage time in an effective way to get most of this precious resource. Why time management is so important?

Young seventeen year old talents develop and train their skills at phenomenal rates. As they age the development slows down and their total skills peak at some certain level. The more you invest on these youngsters the more you will reap in return.

Goal setting and persistance are the keys to managerial success here. These are the basic rules to follow in training:

Simple and effective. Later you can elaborate these strategies further, but for starters just power-train as instructed above.

We pulled a rookie from our youth squad and he turned out to be complete looser. No more loosers for us it is investment for the youth squad. This should benefit us in the long term and on the short term we can handle increased costs so future looks bright.

This step had to be taken, I was thinking to take it bit later, but this is fine too. Coming goals for this season remain the financial frugality and some cautious player acquisitions. I already have positions all figured out it. First we need money for purchases and therefore the next step will be the sell of few players.

We managed to take the first victory in the first game of the season. These important points launch us directly for the road of status quo. It is totally unacceptable for us to be demoted.

Crew is feeling enraged after tough and lost cup match. Unfortunately there was no chance for relaxing in this first game as the points are very important to secure at this point of the season. In coming few games we can take it easy and focus on attitude management.

Creative game has arrived. This will be a turning point for those who play in an aggressive manner. Midfield players and forward guys now get tremendous boost. It really pays off to have those multi-skilled players instead of now-so-popular "two trick" guys that master one area and have good supportive talent.

For the attacking oriented managers this is a gift because there is lot of money to be made with entertaining and goal-rich game. Who wants to sit there watching the game for two hours and see a game with no scoring? Creative playing brings more goals and more attending audience and sponsorship money, hence the teams can afford to invest more on the material development. Star power, you know.

Now we had our first taste of those big money games. Side note to self: we stink, but don not make any management changes. After the first experience we must conclude that it is our own management, leadership and training that we have to watch. Therefore I declare that during the coming weeks we shall keep the chosen method of training. Furthermore we shall stop any outside-training activities and play it cool at all times.

Our situation is quite good, because we should be in a place where we can maintain our position with ease, hence the room to focus on building strategic monetary reserves for the future with slight tactic modifications with the crew lineup. What are the goals? Can we cut them into stone? Sure we can, but it takes time so we use this digital space instead.

Simple and short. I shall report on our success concerning these items.

Did I grow old or something? Why the official attitude? As our ranking improves we must add appropriate business credibility. Hasta luego.

How to manage the situation if you are down on the score? There are two choices that one can make. Firstly, one can put everything on one card and pray for the best. Secondly, one can take the safe route and conserve some energy for the more manageable situations. What ever you do, try to stick with the choice that you have made, this way you will avoid confusing your subordinates with changed strategy and maintain that slight possibility of pulling through with the chosen plan. However, you must always consider the decision from both sides, because sometimes stubbornness will lead to sure demise. Here’s one for good leadership.

It is the time to prepare ourselves for the cup games. We have to face a superior team with much better leadership than our previous opponents. Numbers just don't add up and there is absolutely nothing we can do to tip the balance to our corner.

What shall we do then? Damage control is a big part of team management and leadership, therefore we will set the game plan into defense. Furthermore all the key people that can be saved stay out of the starting lineup. I don't want to worry about injuries on our first league game.

Everybody just plays time and takes it easy. This game tactics will guarantee that we loose but we will not loose big time. We get the money for the game, avoid major injuries and maintain the support of our, well, supporters.

We shall have a well-rested team in the actual league games and our pockets full of money. Let others put high stakes into no-win situations and burn themselves out. Over and out.

1. I have the player who made most goals in the team. The prize for that totals 10.000 euro.

2. For the position that team acquired, we got 60.000 euro.

3. Coincidentally our position was enough to get promoted and for that we got extra 40.000.

4. Well-played season increased our supporter base and at the time of writing, it totals 901 supporters. Those supporters paid their annual fees and we made a bulk of 27.030.

All together we had a nice week in the terms of cash. Very much cash-flow positive week indeed. Time for a cigar?
