Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***
So my break from FM lasted all of 5 days.
Started my new save unemployed. Usually make the manager mid tier. But this time I made a top tier manager (top license, ex-international). Got all the way into the end of November with no offers. Then Southampton offered me the job. They were in 20th. Ended up getting it. Fast forward to mid January and we are currently in 17th. 5 points back on Bournemouth. 1 point up on Sunderland. We have 20 points in 23 games. Magically in the first knock out stage of the Europe League (weakest group). And in the 4th round of the FA cup still. I honestly don't think I'll make it past this season with the team. Pretty sure I'll get fired. Unless I can some how pull out a magic run and finish mid table. Board is not happy already. Something like 38%.
We had no money. So I sold Wanyama for 27M. He wanted to leave, was very unhappy. And Real Madrid came in for his MRF plus incentives. So I took it. Pissed off the board and the fans. Turned around and bought Timo Horn and Florin Andone (ST). Got Horn for his 6.5m MRF. And paid 9M plus incentives for Andone. Who in his first game off the bench strained his back and will miss 3 months. And that was all the money I got from the sale. Also Mane has been injured with a torn knee ligament. He should be back in 6-8 weeks. However, I am close to maybe getting Martin Odegaard on loan. He might turn us down though. He could be a big boost. Also trying to get Harry Maguire from Hull on loan. He asked to leave, but they keep rejecting my loan. They seem to only want to sell.
