I thought there might be some Football Manager fans out there wanting a save file in the future in case they aren't enjoying the new FM26. Wigan fans might want to carry on the success or others may just want a save 20 seasons in the future. All played properly with no holiday and no save scumming. Definitely my favourite ever Football Manager save. Nearly 20 days playtime.
For a brief story of the save:
Born in Corby in 1993, Harry Bagnall rose from obscurity to become a true Wigan Athletic legend. Appointed while the club were still in Sky Bet League One, Bagnall transformed Wigan into one of the dominant forces in world football through an intense Gegenpressing, play-from-the-back philosophy inspired by Roberto Martínez.
Under his leadership, Wigan climbed the divisions, established themselves in the top tier of English football, and went on to enjoy an unprecedented spell of domestic and European success. Known for his high-tempo pressing and fearless attacking football, Bagnall built teams that were both relentless and entertaining — earning widespread praise from fans and pundits alike.
Between 2037 and 2043, Wigan reached their golden age:
5 English league titles
4 Champions League trophies
Europa League & Europa Conference League wins
Multiple FA Cups, Super Cups, and domestic honours
Global recognition, including European/South American Club Challenge glory
Bagnall’s trophy cabinet was matched by personal accolades, with multiple Manager of the Year awards at both domestic and regional level, cementing his status as one of the greatest managers of his generation.
This save is a celebration of long-term club building, tactical identity, and turning a fallen club into a European superpower — all without abandoning Wigan’s footballing soul.
