I've waited until now to finally start a "long term career" so as not to be pulled away by any further updates. Now the Winter update is in, it's time for my final save of FM21. Inevitably taking over Man Utd I have no aim or ulterior motive, but just a vanilla Man Utd save.

So you've basically hijacked this Forum with your challenges now?

You've put this in the wrong place really. Would be good in the story section

And so, after all of this I've just discovered I had a strange database open from one of the challenges which had got rid of all international tournaments. I now need to decide whether to start again or can this. Gutted

JANUARY 2020 And with that is the first trophy in the cabinet in this new era for Man Utd. Liverpool fought a hard game and deserved the win here, but a last gasp goal from Anthony Martial in the dying seconds of extra time was enough to give the Man...

MARCH 2020 Following the departure of Quinton Fortune to take the role as Reading manager, Manchester United have moved to appoint another club stalwart in the form of Andy Cole, previously acting as Coach at Southend United. This continues the club&...

FEBRUARY 2020 Mid-Season Update The team have been punching way higher than they should be. Dean Henderson is performing great at Sheffield United and I'm keeping a real eye on him for next season. Academy player Axel Tuanzebe has spent most of t...

JANUARY 2020 With £40m sloshing around in the bank and bereft of a first choice LB, Everton were in the market on deadline day. Luke Shaw wasn't being guaranteed first team football, this was probably the most sensical signing of the win...

JANUARY 2020 Jubilation for the young United second string as they book their final appearance at Wembley and give the new manager his first taste of a trophy. Goals from academy graduates Garner, Gomes and Pereira were a joy to behold and lend crede...

JANUARY 2020 The first incoming transfer of the new manager's reign is the £47m signing of Left Full Back, Lucas Digne from Everton who will look to provide searing pace and delivery from the left flank. This inevitably leaves question m...

JANUARY 2020 A bitter sweet day for Man Utd fans as they celebrate Antony Martial being named French Footballer of the Year at the same time as 6 year club man Juan Mata hands in a transfer request as the window opens, due to a lack of playing time. M...

NOVEMBER 2019

NOVEMBER 2019 The fantastically named Hannibal Mejbri (16) made his United and professional debut during the 4-0 wind over Wolfsberger. Other notable graduates to get a run out included James Garner with his second game of the season and Angel Gome...

SEPTEMBER 2019 Both sides week crippled for this game due to international duty, but this is where City's squad strength bit them as all but John Stones were unavailable. United meanwhile had a second string team with seasoned players such as...

JULY 2020 And so it begins and I'm impressed he'd complained a week into my reign. We've had a chat and told him we can leave if we don't qualify for the Champions League. I'm confident he'll stay, but if Real/Barca etc. co...

A speight of new contracts have been signed by the clubs most promising youngsters with Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong (C,L) the pick of the bunch. Other notable players to have signed their immediate futures to the club include Aidan Barlow, Anthony Ela...

JULY 2019 Following the recent appointment of a new manager, no time has been wasted in further adding to the backroom team. Highly rated coach and ex-journeyman Paddy McCarthy has left his role at Crystal Palace to move North and take on a first tea...

Finally done. Found this a bit of a slog, not sure why. Would have like to give this a go with the "minnows" of the league; Valencia, Porto or Milan just to try and get them to survive. Anyway: Point Scoring FIFA World Super League 1st - 125pt...

I'll keep an eye out, for you if nothing else. Just finishing off challenge 3 then I'll be back.

I think McTominay can definitely provide squad competition, though I've got half an eye on Damien Rice. Lingard's on my shit list, for being a knob if nothing else, but he might be of use so we'll see. Pogba and Shaw can jog on if they st...

Sort of nailed it with the Scum bit tbh. Defeats the point of taking part

Twas the red nose tbh lol

So I now enter these more so for your take on famous managers. Is this supposed to be Alex Ferguson???

JUNE 2019 The dawn of a new era, as lifetime United fan and a relatively unknown player has taken the reigns of the famous Old Trafford club in a bid to get them back to where they belong. The chairman wants the club to use the youth team and play...

Cheers. Your recent Arsenal exploits actually encouraged me to do this one. TBH, the amount of money you end up with, it's easy to buy whoever you want, but to maintain a certain ethos and culture, that's the challenge. Pogba is an arse, but...

Manchester United. The quintessential falling-giant. Having dominated the Premiership/Premier League for 25 years, it has become more and more apparent that this was down to one man. Sir Alex Ferguson. Other pretenders have come in; from the "Chose...

After years of mis-management and sliding into purgatory, it's time to go back to what we know works. Fergie's Man Utd DNA

A good read mate. I like how you've picked up a lot of current PL talent sprinkled with some european prospects. Szoboszlai turned out amazing in one of my early saves

August 2024 Year 2 in the SPL and our first year in Europe. Premier League Stoke chanced their arm with me, but I'm desperate to win a Scottish title before moving on. After Celtic finished runners-up in the league and lost out to us in the FA...

Season Review May 2024 Forfar Athletic A great first season in the SPL, finishing third behind the old firm. Rangers knocked Celtic off their perch for the first time in a decade and I spent most of the season fighting off Hibs and Aberdeen to keep the...

Joe Boy just completed the season in the year 2024 managing Forfar Athletic in the Ladbrokes Premiership in their FM Career The Tale of a Beggar

January 2024 First half season in the SPL and honestly, it's going great. Super inconsistent form combined with an amazing cup run has given the fans (and me) a lot to cheer for. League wise, I either win or I lose, with one daw in between. As ev...

August 2023 And so begins Forfar Athletic's first ever season in the SPL and it very nearly started without it's manager... I've said from the beginning that the Forfar job was for the long term and only the Old Firm could sway me. Wh...
