Welcome to the club! :D
Attended meeting with the Chairman Kroenke(? thought he was just a director...?). Ignored club history (kinda know about it already). Next step, agreeing goals of the season. I'm going to stick with the continental option that he puts forward. To be honest, aim low, win big!
Transfer budget: £30m.
Wage Budget: £1.48m
These should be more than enough to bring in the players AND the staff that I want/need.
I personally like the meeting of the Journo's. You get to tell them how you play, how you want to do things... basically establish yourself. I know it's a game and that the AI isn't going to give 2 shits, but it kinda works with the players, managers etc. Then, DEFINITELY MEET WITH THE STAFF!!! Even though I plan on sacking most of them, it'll give me a chance to confirm/alter my earlier ideas of how I'm going about this. Yes to reserves v firsts, yes to team report.
Agent offers: ONLY FUTURE PROSPECTS. Don't care about free agents, they're free for a reason! (Other people don't want them)
Friendlies: Personally, I care little for the friendlies. I'll set the tactics and formations that I want and tell the assistant to follow them. It gives the players a chance to get used to the system you aim to use.
Match Prep: I'm going to do the Prep myself (based on the scouting reports I get) and I generally do the Opposition Instructions too but I'm saying that I let him do it.
Journos: I enjoy this, I'll do it.
Reserve/Youth team: Currently Arsenal don't have one, therefore I'm going to let Bould take it for now. However, this will change if I get a decent Reserves Manager. Read more later.
Team Talks: I like to do them myself, but sometimes I'll just click "Assistant takes team talk" thing anyway so whatever.
Team Report: Straight away I see a GLARING ERROR!!! Per Mertesaker is a 4* rated CD. He's slow as shit, and will be TERRIBLE against quick strikers. Also, the best left back is Vermaelen on 3*. This will change when I bring in a new Left Back (again, more later). Error 2: Walcott as a striker. Personally, I don't seem him as a striker. For me, winger. but still, you have Podolski and Giroud as back up. Plan? Buy young player. Not Ashley Young. Or Luke Young for that matter.
Meet the Staff: Pretty self explanatory. Agree with them.
This Concludes my Welcome to the Club. Standby for early plans of BUYING PLAYERS AND STAFF.
