Club Overview
Quote:
Real Racing Club de Santander are a club in turmoil. After two relegations in two seasons the club are now languishing in the 3rd tier of Spanish football with crippling loan debts - as soon as these repayments start coming out we are in trouble! However my plan is to take them back to La Liga, the division in which they have spent the majority of their seasons in existence. With an adequately sized stadium and reasonable all round facilities there's potential for growth here, though we need to get back to La Liga as quickly as possible so we can raise our profile and funds to get ourselves out of this tricky financial situation. On LFCMarshall's update both Racing and Racing B start in the same division, so I aim to get instant promotion with Racing and I've added a holiday manager at Racing B who will use my tactics to help keep them in the division

I took advantage of the club's relative good financial status to begin with by getting in staff that are likely to be in place for seasons to come until I can afford the top guys. All of the original staff were sacked to make way for my new coaching regime.

My first task with the players was to terminate the loan contracts of players that were eating up the clubs wages. These were replaced by good players on loan that required no wage contribution and the rest of the wage budget was spent on getting in experienced players who can do a professional job in getting us promoted this season -Del Horno, Amanatidis, Tote, Gabilondo and club icon Gonzalo Colza.

Overall I'm very happy with the squad I've got now. Good depth all round, with the possibilty of bringing up some of the B team players should we have an injury crisis. Next update will come at the end of September :)
