Our sales point should be "want a prem club? Gonna cost you hundreds of millions or even billions? Why not buy a ready to go champ club with little to no debt and comparable facilities and get promoted." Sounds easy but the worry is what happens if we don't go up? Many yo yo Nd big clubs in the champs every season now. Also would fans be happy if someone like Mike Ashley came in? What about the guy textor at Palace who tried to buy everton? What about the ownership battle at Chelsea take the lower of that? Football is a strange old business.

Business end of the season is another classic

Any freekick 30 yards out. Decent set piece taker? This is in "Beckham territory" This is in "idiakez territory" Another one is "corridor of uncertainty" when a ball goes between keeper and defenders 6 yards out.

Last minute scrambled goal to get a point. It's in the tea leaves.

It could just be possible that a player thrust into the first team out of necessity, young, inexperienced, who by all accounts was close to being released by the club, who has gone on to make his name one of the first on the team sheet, played out of his skin and hardly put a foot wrong since his debut, could have 2 poor games back to back. Maybe his standards have been set so high that if he drops 10% below that everyone panics. Cashin a problem? Head turned? Ready to be dropped? Wow.

Ah save scumming. Very controversial topic in the fm community. When I was about 10 yeah of course.

If you haven't set your scouting network to look for wonderkids in South America or Africa within the first 5 minutes are you even taking the game seriously? My first five minutes are spent filtering interested players by height and getting the tallest striker with the best jumping reach on a free transfer that will join a level 10 side. 38 years old? 6ft 7 and jumping reach of 18? Yes please. Then filter by pace and get the 2 fastest wingers I can find? Random 18 yr old released by Waterford with 17 pace? On a free? Yes please.

My cm and fm ritual is as follows. Never ever play as derby as my real life bias will impact on the game. Never ever play as a premier league club. Its sad but I sim the first season with the lowest playable English league loaded (the level 10 data add on is amazing for this) and see which team finishes bottom of the lowest playable league. Then start a new game as them and play till I win either the premiership, fa cup or champions league. Never move clubs. I really enjoy the lower league saves and its great to play for years and see what happens in game. Have owned pretty much every copy of cm from the first days on the amiga 500 and moved to fm when the switch happened with the development team. Its addictive. Wow is it addictive.

Was in the championship recently too wasn't he? Was he at Cardiff last year or am I imagining that?

Prijovic is on a free. Once went for 10mill. Been at the club as a youth. Scored goals where ever he has been.....

Just been on transfer market free agents filtered by height. There are loads of foreign strikers there who I have never heard of to be honest along with experienced names who have been at biggest clubs like chupo moting, bas dost. Get a few in on trial and see if any look fit and ready.

Everyone logging onto transfer market searching out of contract strikers at 11.01 tonight then? Just me? Anyone got Scott hogans number?

Me too. He just needs that first goal. Get it on Saturday daj

Or one of the loan signings drops out the squad on a rotation 🤷‍♂️

I'm not usually this silly. Just passing the time before our 20 goal hit man lands.
