Football Manager 23

Finished season 1 being eliminated in the playoffs by Wrexham, went 2-0 up at their place before Ollie got sent-off and then it all collapsed from there.

Weirdly, Ron then opened the warchest for season 2 and I had a 1 mil transfer budget, which I opted to mostly pump into the wage bill instead. Major surgery with lots of "John Still recommended signings" coming in for peanuts, and in season 2, only Kensdale, Lopata, Powell and Wood still get a look in from the original squad. A lot of the others have been moved on.

Season 2 still went the same way, always in and around the playoff spots but never consistent enough for anything more. Got eliminated by Wrexham in the playoff semis....again! Somehow, Eastleigh strolled to 1st position. Wrexham lost the final to Notts. County, so I guess Wrexham will be waiting for me in the playoffs again next season, like an end of level boss....

I can see why NL is called "the b@$t@rd" league now!

Today's - the game is too close to real life screenshot:

I've just finished season 2036/37 and beat Brighton 1-0 at Wembley in the Championship play off final. Earliest I have made the premier league with us. Played the season at Portman Road, as the new stadium is being built. Next season looks tough, as £750K wage budget and £44m transfer budget.

I've been upgrading my staff every season, to improve the non-playing teams as much as the playing side.

onwards and upwards.......

Apologies for the necro, but I picked this game up a few weeks ago. Gegenpress 4-2-3-1 with inverted wingers is OP. Jake Hyde was jettisoned, replaced with a loanee from Oldham and an 18yo midfield prospect.

The next game means everything...
