End of Season 2022/23
So after last season's dismal finish, there was a lot of pressure from the board to do better and achieve our goal for the year. Simply put, it was promotion or nothing this year.
Transfers
Our squad last season was lacking a...
Ok, so we back! Now that Uni exams are out of the way I should have a bit more time to play FM until exams and dissertation start to rear their heads again!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Cheers @Dan, I always find the first season in saves like this to be the hardest trying to figure things out!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
End of Season 2019/20
Heading into the New Year we were defying expectations by challenging for a playoff spot. The focus would be on solidifying this position and making a charge up the table during the back-end of the season. So how did we fare?
BetVi...
@Dan , @Grimnir cheers for the support lads, I'm excited to see what happens on this journey!

Summer Transfer Window 2019
With only a handful of players on the books prior to the start of the season, the task was to build a squad capable of achieving a mid-table finish at the least, whilst also doing the Club proud. Fourteen players have signed...
So, it turns out my short-term Swansea save really would be very short! Now unless this new save experiences any crashes, bugs or any other issue, this should be my long-term save!

Introduction
So with my FM19 Worldwide Journeyman coming to an end, its time to get stuck in to FM20.
I'm not sure how long-term this save will be. My plans originally were to wait until an English Leagues pack is made available and do a "Hom...
Ok, so a bit of an unexpected update to make... after being surprised with FM20 as a late birthday present, the Worldwide Journeyman comes to an end!
Whilst not the HoF career I'd have wanted it to be, I'll look back at the save with very fond...
Mid-Season 2036/37
So, last time we touched base I mentioned that we might well be on to a special season this year, and well... let's take a look at how well that prediction may, or may not, have panned out!
Major League Soccer
Well it would se...
Away goals and missed chances really killed us @r96Skinner but I suppose that's the way it has to be sometimes!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Thanks @Dan, it was good to finally get some silverware in the States after a rough few years!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Thanks for the continued support @bigmattb28, the red certainly did kill us off!

Off-Season 2035
Last season was horrific to say the least, painful in areas and an absolute nightmare for the most part. Work was needed to sure up the side, so without further ado lets look at the off-season's work.
December Waiver Draft

Thanks @bigmattb28 for the continued support, lets see how the season panned out...

Off-Season Review 2034/35
At the end of the 2034 Regular Season we were nothing more than spectators for the Playoffs after having been a way, way off the mark during the back end of the season. The silver-lining through all of this was that it allowed m...
End of Regular Season 2034
So, with the end of the MLS Regular Season coming to an end, I've got one big take away that we're going to delve into. We are bad. Very bad, in fact. Admittedly, fingers must be pointed at the manager, but I'm a...
@bigmattb28 thank you, its certainly been a good journey so far! The next step has been taken and we're not heading to South Africa yet, although the Chiefs/Pirates duopoly looks to be coming to an end!
----------------------------------------------...
End of Season 2033/34
Having won the Copa Libertadores last time out, I opted to stay with River Plate until the end of the domestic season. This would let new storylines unfold across world football as well as offering me a chance to win more silverware...
So, after a looooong time away from Football Manager seeing friends, working and playing more FIFA than one person should in their spare time, I'm back. Back to the journey and back to trying to make this the best career possible, let's see what...
End of Season 2032/33
Last time we touched base things looked much the same as previous years, with us sitting top of the table and making progress as expected in Europe. Would we be able to maintain our form for the rest of the season, or would we find...
So, after a busy month with work, travelling, having friends visit and moving back to the UK, we're finally back with a long overdue update!
Unfortunately a majority of the games were played at the beginning of the month so I can't remember too...
Running well in the league, let’s hope it continues!
Fingers crossed @HockeyBhoy and its always nice to lift the cup @Dan!

End of Season 2032
When we last touched base we found ourselves trailing in the league but having just won the Club World Cup. Our aim was to win as much silverware as possible this season, so lets take a look at how we did.
Serie A
Before the turn o...
@Dan - thanks mate, thought a ramble was long over-due! Fair play if you read the whole thing too!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Thank you @HockeyBhoy, you've started well at Edinburgh so I'm sure you'll be flying past me in no time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
@Dan firstly, welcome back! Secondly, thank you for taking the time to catch up! There's been some ups and downs like you said but I feel like we're back on track now!
@bigmattb28 I appreciate the support mate, fingers crossed we can push on!...
Cracking start to the season mate, keep it going!
End of Season 2031
Halfway into the season and things had been going well for us, although there was definitely room for us to improve in attacking areas. Reshaping the attack through the signing of Javier Merino was proving to be tougher than I initiall...
January 2031
Having bucked the trend over the summer and spent big on two players to improve the first-team, it felt like all eyes were on us this season. The question is, would we be able to bed in the new signings in time to hit the ground running in A...
@bigmattb28 thanks mate, really getting back into the swing of things now!

End of Season Review 2030
When we last touched base, we found ourselves seven points adrift of A.C. Milan as they led the charge for the Serie A title, whilst we had also managed to progress into the knockout rounds of the Champions League. With the team...
January 2030
After going so close yet seemingly fall a long way from the top of the league last season, all eyes were on us this year as our young side looked to go one better than last season. After a short, injury-plagued pre-season it was finally time...
Pre-Season 2029/30
After coming so close to winning Serie A last season, the question was always going to be about how the squad could evolve this pre-season to give it a fresh look going into the new season. With that being said, I was busy again this y...
Interesting to see the league dynamic shift so much, good luck nonetheless getting Lincoln back to their former glory!
Season Review 2028/29
We started the new year off two points clear of Inter Milan as we aimed to get Juventus back to where they belong. With half a season to go, would we be able to stay on top of the league?
Serie A
We started the year off with goo...

With half of the current campaign done and dusted, its time to take a look at how this new-look Juventus side has fared to date.

Early signs would seem to suggest that a busy summer of dealings may have gone some way in restoring...
Pre-Season 2028/29
A big job was needed this summer, and with contracts expiring and players coming back from loans yet to be assessed, the club was always going to be busy this summer. However, I did not expect to be as busy as we were.

Thanks @bigmattb28, I'm still a bit shocked to have the job, but the club certainly where it is in real life!

Year in Review & Job Update
With 2027 coming to an end, this marks the year anniversary of me taking charge of the USMNT. All in all, I'd say its been a fairly successful time and a refreshing one too, swapping the misery of SPAL for the joys...
Gold Cup 2027
Having left SPAL at the turn of the year and taking charge of the USMNT, attentions were immediately turned to the upcoming Gold Cup which we were being touted to win on home soil.

Mid-Season Review 2026/27
After a busy summer of transfers aiming to right the wrongs of the back-end of last season, I was quietly optimistic that some of our young signings could kick on and push us to be better this season. We only won six games in th...
Pre-Season 2026/27
With my top-flight debut now done and dusted, I knew there would be a fair amount of work to be done over the summer in order to build upon the work we put in over the course of the last year. Having now had time to reflect, our season...
Season Review 2025/26
After having made a scorching start to the Serie A season, we last touched base with SPAL sitting seventh in the league going into December. So how did we fare in the remainder of the season?
Serie A
Well... things dropped off m...
I’ve got an update ready to go tomorrow for you guys! I’ve been busy with work as of late and pushed for time outside of work so for the foreseeable future updates will come at the end of preseason, twice a year and then at any point something...

MATCHDAY 7
After a turbulent start to life in Serie A, a look ahead at the schedule shows there is a brief respite due for us before playing A.C. Milan and Juventus back to back at the end of the month. With both sides flying high, it...
