NEW BLOG POST

My first season with Radcliffe FC is over. I took over in December with the club in 17th place, how far can we climb? There is also a crazy good intake in there as well! #FM26

Trailblazer | Part 2 | Straight Into An Impossible Relegation Battle Freja Holm walked into the world of football management as an inexperienced coach with minimal badges and a football career cut short by injury. As such, the 35-year-old Swede was expecting a long wait before finding her first club in women's football.

#FM26 #Trailblazer Part 2: Straight Into An Impossible Relegation Battle. Rookie #FootballManager Freja Holm gets a surprisingly early first break as she's handed the unenviable task of managing Alingsås IF.

So far, so good for me. There's still some niggly issues but nothing that's game-breaking in my opinion

I did a blog post, short but sweet, an intro and a look at the achievements I have to tick off. Go take a read and let me know what you think #FM26

(FM24) The UMC – Matsumoto Yamaga/Japan – 2027 Season Welcome back. After last seasons second place finish in the J-League 1, our first season after promotion, I had high hopes for the upcoming campaign, we had money to spend, morale was high and we a…

NEW BLOG POS

Season four is down in Japan with Matsumoto Yamaga, can we start to challenge for trophies?

There is also the Asian Cup with Japan to speak about.

(FM24) – The UMC – Matsumoto Yamaga – 2026 Season Welcome back! Two straight promotions have somehow got my Matsumoto boys into the top tier of Japan, the J-League One. I have no idea how we’ve done it but I have absolutely no expectations f…

NEW BLOG POST

After successive promotions my Matsumoto Yamaga boys find themselves in the J-League 1! We need a major overhaul of the squad if we are to survive, that is key......or can we cause a major upset?! #FM24

NEW BLOG POST

My first full season in Japan with Matsumoto Yamaga is over, after promotion to the 2nd tier, can we somehow hold our own in a new, much higher level?

RTs appreciated as ever, thanks for the support #fm24 #fmblog

Its all about the CM (A) for me, works bloody wonders in this tactic! #FM24

Defied expectations to win promotion from the Japanese 3rd tier, surely the 2nd tier will be tougher, right?

WRONG!

Loving this save already! #fm24 #ultimatemanagerchallenge

Thanks @fmrensie.coffeehousefm.com for the repost, really appreciate the support

I think that speaks for a lot of people at the moment, quite a few have lost the motivation. I hope you find it again, this is my first time in Japan and I'm really enjoying it!

My first season is over in Japan with Matsumoto Yamaga, I took over with the club near the bottom of the table, how far can we move up in a half a season?

Made the decision a few weeks back that if #FM25 got delayed further (or cancelled) I'd do this save. Something I've wanted to have a proper crack at for a long time and now I have plenty of time to complete it!! #FM24
Wish me luck!

Excited for hopefully a new game? Yes, as ever.
Excited for what the announcement could be today? Absolutely not, announcing something on the very last day can only lead to one thing.... disappointment. I sincerely hope they prove me wrong!!

Today's the day then, right? #FM25

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!!!

Plans pretty much in place for my #fm25 save. Just need a nice little announcement now

Four season with Leicester, we've just won the league and the board announce this......

THE JAMIE VARDY ARENA!!!! #FM24

Just want to wish everyone a happy new year, last year wasn't the best for me, lots of health & mental health issues, lost a lot of friends in the FM world but I can't change the past.

2025 is going to be a great year, I am feeling healthy & positive, that's the main thing.

After a little break I have decided to start a new save on #FM24. I'll be managing the team I support, Leicester City with a view on bringing through the academy talent and signing players from the lower leagues.

FM24: The ‘Regen Bug’ Let's talk about a potential newgen bug I've found on Football Manager 2024. In most cases, any players that FM generates - also known as 'newgens' - are entirely separate from and unrelated to any other player in the database. When Cristiano Ronaldo retires, he isn't instantly replaced with another skilful Portuguese forward who has his same elite potential. On FM24, though, some of these newly-generated players can develop...

NEW #FM24 BLOG POST!

In this post, I talk about a curious Football Manager 2024 bug where retired players get 'regenerated'... but it's not what you might think.

Any reposts appreciated.

2 0 down in the 86th minute to somehow clawing back a 2 2 draw. That's why we love football and that's why I go to the games. Absolute scenes in the kop!! Come on you foxes!!

Even though the wife and daughter put the decorations up mid-November!!
