Confession time…. I’ve had a long break from the game, for no particular reason. Watching Liverpool irl adding closer to the 24/25 premier league title, I couldn’t resist starting a Liverpool save but didn’t want to lose all the history from this save, so...
The World Cup dream ended admirably in a 3-2 round-of-16 thriller, where we lost to Denmark in extra time. We went toe-to-toe with them throughout but it just wasn't to be. I was genuinely proud of our performances in the tournament and we exceeded the ex...
Wow - what a few weeks! I win the league / cup double with Marseille, take Senegal to the World Cup round of 16 (and counting) and get the job at a Newcastle side who finished 3rd last season. This save keeps exciting me, even though I'm pretty sure...
Back to the World Cup, and we made it through in extra time. We had dominated the first hour, with massive possession, XG and shots on goal. But Nigeria equalised to take us to extra time. The win means we are through to face Denmark in the round of...
Meanwhile……couldn't help myself. Happy to stay at Marseille next season, but I just thought it might be a good opportunity to move to the Premier League, and with a club with Champions League games and a (hopefully) decent budget. We will see!
World Cup 2030 update: Senegal are through to the second round, after wins against Syria and Costa Rica, and a predictable loss in the opening game against Spain. So we're through to the second round for an African showdown with Nigeria.I've tinkered...
Incidentally, I downloaded the sas skin from this site a little while ago. I have sceptical about downloading skins in the past but I really like this one. The arrangement of data for a player plus a few other quirks has really been useful, plus it's nice...
Well that didn’t take long… I noticed 2030 was a World Cup year, and that Senegal were without a manger. Ranked 14th in the world, and with ambitions of making it to the second round of the 2030 World Cup, I was appointed manager of The Lions of Ter...
Season is over, Olympique de MarseLille have done the league and cup double 🥳. We finished 10 points ahead of PSG in Ligue 1, and smashed them 4-0 in the cup final. it was hard work around the middle of the season but very satisfying.I’m now balancing pr...
So I’m loving life at Olympique de Marseille. We are into Feb 2030 and are top of Ligue 1, a single point ahead of PSG. We have trailed them all season until they unexpectedly dropped 2 points against someone down the bottom end of the table. We are throu...
Hi, it’s been a long time since the last post, because it’s been a long time since I got any real game time. I’ve been back ‘at work’ finally and a lot has happened… Over the summer I did some pottering, the major change was breaking my transfer reco...
Love it, I’ve been considering moving to a Scottish club on my Hellas Verona save.
Oh my goodness, this season feels like it’s gone on forever! After a strong start to the season where we won the European Super Cup and the Euro/South American Cup, we had a few ups and down in the league. We were knocked out of the cup by Mourinho’s Roma...
Love it, I like doing the research on a team when first taking the job on FM. I’m determined to move around on my current save but have kept to Europe so far, would quite like to venture to Brazil in a few seasons’ time 🇧🇷
What an end to the season!!! Down to the wire, we were 2 points ahead at the top of the league, last game of the season, we had to win to guarantee the scudetto. Hellas Verona 3 - Napoli 1. I’ve never screamed at my laptop screen so much. So chuffed! I th...
Thanks for this! I’ve started using this tactic with my Hellas Verona team. I adopted this half way through the 26/27 season and it’s made a huge difference. I can finally compete with Juventus, Milan and co.
Ok, so I mentioned previously that I reworked my tactics… the good results did not last. You know when you’ve been using one tactic for a while, but little changes here and there mean that it’s completely evolved into a different tactic that what you star...
So, I’m almost half way through the 26/27 season and things are going well. Results have been mixed, as always we find it impossible to get a result against Juve, Milan, Inter, Napoli etc. Currently sitting 4th in Serie A, if we can hold on to a champions...
…I didn’t take the international job, stuck to my plan of finishing my the season with Verona. And what a season it turned out to be, we managed a 5th place finish, only missing out on 4th on the last day. I’m currently sorting a clear out of dead wood an...
Season is going well, had a tough run of games against the big teams but have won most the games against smaller teams and find myself 5th in Serie A with 12 games played. All is good, I‘m even contemplating what European football might be like next year...
Quick update, 3 games into Verona’s return to Serie A, so far so good - a win and 2 draws. Quite excited about transfer deadline day as I managed to sign 2 top young players on loan at the last minute, including Carvalho from Liverpool. He would normally...
So I finally got round to finishing the season. I am chuffed to have got Verona promoted back to Serie A as champions, with 2 games to spare. It was a fairly poor show in the cup but we are a way off the top Serie A teams and we were never going to compet...
So I reached the end of the 23/24 season, winning Bulgarian Second League by a landslide. The board rewarded me with a princely transfer budget of £750, which sealed my decision to move to Italy for 24/25.I waited until playoffs were all done in Serie B a...
I started unemployed with a range of random nations to choose from. I applied for 3 or 4 interesting looking vacancies in lower leagues, in Bulgaria, Hungary, England and Portugal. I was offered 3 if the jobs but decided to accept Spartak 1918 Varna in th...
Started unemployed, applied for interesting job vacancies across European lower leagues. See where it takes me. No editor or add manager, just honest hard work.
