E129: You don't always get to win at Football Manager...

2023/07/20

Unbeaten streaks are there to be broken. Small teams exist to cause you to let your guard down, trip you up. Sometimes the big names fall. Sometimes, you don't always get to win.That's what it feels a little like this week as we move into January. We arrived there in last week's episode, the new year bringing renewed hope and optimism. Shane's got himself a league cup semi-final against Leicester with the Foxes - Ken's former club - having dumped Liverpool out at the quarter-final stages

It's episode 128 and in the studio this week we've been blitzing a whopping eight games in December between the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup with more mixed results this week. Now, Shane's not been sacked - yet - though we're playing through some live elements this episode to see if it will happen or if he can actually pull off the greatest of escapes. Augsburg just needed to reach January before going on a five-month rip, can the same happen at Old Trafford this

2023/07/06

In a break from our usual approach to playing, we've decided to take the studio for a long lunch break and bounce out the month of November in our third season in Football Manager 2023.We floated the idea last week that with Shane's ongoing frustrations with Man United winning in Europe but performing miserably in the league, we would record 'as live' to share some of his sheer mental anguish with the game. The board are on his back, the fans are on his back, he's lost most of the dressing

On this week's helping of The Football Manager Football Show, we've got some immediate reaction to the announcement from the Sports Interactive announcement on changes coming down the track for FM24 and FM25.We'll get into it more down the line but it's safe to say that, on paper, it's a bold statement that sets out a clear path for the future of Football Manager and should go a long way towards easing some long-term fans concerns over the current iteration of the game.As October turns into

In a week where Luke Shaw has been showing Shane that he's got Puskas credentials, we're getting through September and into October as our return to the Premier League continues.Not only that but we've got the first taste of two cup competitions with Liverpool and Man United in Champions League action against some familiar opposition while the League Cup gets underway on home soil, one of our intrepid duo getting a more favourable draw.To squad rotate or not, to play wingers or not, to give

It's a very Premier League pre-season as we get through our entire calendar of pre-season games this week for Liverpool and Man United.While Liverpool seem to be able to raise transfer funds through departures like Henderson, Thiago, Keita and more, United can't seem to sell a sinner get a bloated squad trimmed before the league kicks off.As pre-season goes, we've got Bayern, PSG, a trip to China, Liverpool in Spain and Scotland and we're packing in games, testing out squads and trying to

It's the season 11 premiere that we've been waiting for since, well, season 1.Germany is in the rearview mirror and we're off to pastures new. We've had suggestions of Holland, ducking down to Serie C, going to the depths of the English football pyramid, heading to Australia or backpacking across Asia.But at the end of the day, there's one footballing rivalry that we've been looking to sink our teeth into since we started the podcast and for some reason, we've danced around it but never

So it turns out that when we put our minds to it, we can actually blaze through a whole bunch of games in Football Manager when the pressure is on and things need to get turned around quickly - namely us closing out the final six weeks of our time in Germany and the Bundesliga.We won't spoil it entirely, but there are a few positives to take away from the whole experience - though how does it all work out?Just when it looks like Frankfurt were cruising, the wheels started to come off thanks

The end is nigh in Germany as we get through the penultimate month of the Bundlesliga where, somewhat surprisingly, results of improved a bit for both Frankfurt and Augsburg.At least that's what the game would like you to think before it transpires that Shane's still under press while Ken's good run of form - up until the moment you hit save and close the game - looks like it's evaporated and the timing couldn't be worse with Chelsea on the horizon for the Europa League knockouts.Leipzig

February becomes March in the Bundesliga and for one half of our Football Manager duo, things are looking up and the threat of relegation almost seems like a distant memory. For the other half, the only way is up, but the board and players look like they're all coming into line and getting behind a strong finish to the season.This week on the podcast we've got another month of games in the Bundesliga where it's become apparent that it's Bayern, Dortmund and everyone else. For Frankfurt,

It's been another whirlwind month of games in Germany and we've been feeling the pressure.Last episode, we were each given five games to salvage our careers in Germany. Eight points were required from those games and Shane got off to a flyer with a 3-0 win over Stuttgart followed by a 1-1 draw with Mainz before our live play to close out episode 117 saw him hold on to beat Arminia Bielefeld 2-1. After coming off bruising defeats to PSG and Hertha, both at home, Ken's also had a positive

In a week where we've seen Spurs make yet another managerial change in real life and goals galore scored in the Premier League, over in Germany in the world of Football Manager, the Frankfurt and Augsburg boards are finally starting to lose patience.Yet again we're called in to explain ourselves but this time the threat is real and the pressure is on. For two teams leaking goals, one of which can't buy a win, we've been given five games and a points target each to hit or it's bye-bye Berlin

When the board tell you they're looking for a meeting and refusal to attend would result in the termination of your contract, you know that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. But it's not Denmark, we're in Germany, it's life in the Bundesliga but not as we know it with November upon us. An international break means we've got some Champions League action for Ken with two crunch games in the league for Shane's Augsburg and Frankfurt as well. Koln are still Robbie-less so to tie up

It's October in Germany and it turns out we only thought of Oktoberfest after the fact.So, while the beer flows and the games come thick and fast in the Bundesliga, the goals have dried up with this week proving a tough one for both Frankfurt and Augsburg. And yes, Robbie's on "holiday" as Koln go on autopilot for a few days.We've put October to the test though and while Ken's trying to find his way in the Champions League, Shane's trying to get any manner of a response out of his forward

After a crazy-busy week on the sports front in real life, we're finally back in Germany to get August out of the way in the Bundesliga. We've got some last-minute business to attend to on Transfer Deadline Day which we're hoping might light a fire or spark some kind of emotional investment in the Bundesliga. Between the three of us, we've got six games to get through in a short episode as we try to get a handle on the league with August serving up the tough fixtures. Is it impossible to

Don't mention the war!That said, due to an ongoing war (of the theatrical variety), we've not seen any action in Germany this week though Shane and Ken have been busy with Man United, Kilkenny and a second roll of the dice with Benfica.We're kicking back a little this week to reflect and a couple of things popping up in solo saves, get some more listener updates and questions for our ongoing saves and it's the "gruesome twosome" back in studio with Robbie back in the studio next

Are we overthinking Football Manager?As Robbie brought Porto to a second-place finish in Portugal last season, Shane is considering adopting his philosophy - one formation, one tactic, one lineup, one mission for the season.This week on the podcast we're wrapping up pre-season in Germany ahead of the opening of the DFB-Pokal and the first round of league action. Man United and Chelsea are coming to town to help Augsburg and Frankfurt wrap up August while Robbie's hoping to attract some
