    Pro tip: Whenever a player performs 6.3 or lower (sometimes works with 6.4 too) take them off and discipline them. This can up their work rate by a whole point, sometimes even their determination.

    Brexit/England for the English (in Spain): Part One

    Brexit/England for the English (in Spain): Part One

    Inspired by u/hurball I wanted to create an English team for the English, rough and tumble stuff, but in the place where most English people go to retire - Spain.

    Brexit, as we all know, has made managing this game much, much harder than before. Work permits, quota rules etc etc, have made it much more difficult for English clubs to import from abroad.

    So I figured I'd do the reverse before Brexit kicked in. How this will change with Brexit actually happening and subsequent quota changes who knows, but I'm going to go out doing it the English way.

    I modelled my manager on a combination of Neil Warnock, Sam Allardyce, Tony Pulis and Iain Dowie. He would be an Englishman in Spain, wearing a tracksuit like he was a P.E teacher who had never quite made it as a pro, but also had his license to drive a bus and had previous experience in selling second hand cars.

    I named him Barry Smith, he was from Boston - the most Brexit town in England. He had a moustache which was last fashionable in 1973, the year in which Britain sold its soul to those bureaucrats in Brussels. He was an ex pro, whose favourite clubs included Bolton, Grimsby, Millwall and Hartlepool, a disciplinarian who played no other way but four four f****g two! He was born in 1958, making him 61 and of a vintage where he reminisced about the "good old days" when you could leave your door open without the fear of getting robbed.

    Malaga, was his chosen club, given it's popularity with Brits abroad, and also the fact there was something of a challenge in taking a bunch of target men, long-ballers and "they don't like it up" mentality to La Liga and mixing it with the tiki-taka of Barcelona. Sure, Malaga are owned by Qataris but who says there aren't loads of holes in the logic of the most ardent of Brexiteers.

    Smith's first step was declining the press. His second was telling the board that their vision of football required not signing kids under the age of 20, because you can't win anything with kids. Eventually they agreed.

    His third step was offloading my staff and players who were not Spanish, and hiring Brits, which was all of them.. Who needs this passy-passy pretty football when you can lump it long?

    He had two players on loan - Spaniard Sergio Buenacasa from Mallorca and Albanian Armando Sadiku from Levante. Neither could be terminated, so he relegated them to the B Team. He sacked all his staff, bringing in Kevin Summerfield, 60, as a No.2 and Bobby Downes, 69, as a scout. Next came the bold step of transfer listing the entire team, which went down like a lead balloon.

    His first approach was to head to the Championship, but I had no luck. Prices were too high, and Smith was forgetting that most Englishmen don't want to move to a place where if they want to order ham and chips they have to shout at someone very slowly while pointing at the menu.

    But fear not, his deals started to get moving. First off was Matt Preston a centre back from Mansfield, and Macclesfield midfielder Peter Vincenti. English yes, but with an Italian name, it was the kind of exoticness Barry Smith and his wife Barbara dreamed of when they left Boston for Malaga but could also be comforted by the fact he was English as they come. Another name, Michael Rose, 36, followed him from the Moss Rose to Spain.

    By the start of August, Smith had sold 15 of the existing squad, and brought in 12 Englishmen. Jay Spearing, Leon Clarke and Michael Dawson were his marquee men, with each coming on the promises of poorly-poured John Smiths at €8 a pop, along with pints of sangria. By the start of the season, and after some mixed results - losing to Portuguese third division sides but beating Billericay, Bury and Kidderminster in a pre-season tour of Brexit towns, we were ready to play Almeira, an away game against a team who like Malage are a favourite for promotion.

    The squad is now, with the exception of the reserve goalkeeper, all English. Malaga go 1-0 down after 10 minutes, but level back before the break after I tell the lads to show some passion. Malaga concede one on the 70th minute and after throwing everyone forward, we concede another. 3-1. They hold their heads high, and onto Extremadura. It's nip and tuck at 0-0 before impact sub Charlie Wyke comes on and lumps one past the keeper in the 76th minute, 1-0 win with 34-year-old left back Barry Fuller being named MOTM. The window SLAMS shut, and Smith has made £28m in transfers, and assembled his squad with £6m spent. They are the full English, with an extra portion of black pudding, and even the reserve keeper is gone. Now onto league domination...
