The Football Manager Football Show

There's hassle at Hibs, goals galore at Old Trafford and on the network stage, it's all go in South Africa as France barely gets a look-in this week.

Have you noticed as we edge towards the release of Football Manager 2023 that your time invested in Football Manager 2022 has gone up and not down?

That's what it's been like this week as Shane continues his Multiverse of Madness with jobs at Man United and Preston in the same side while Ken's experienced his worst run of results in Football Manager in this version, maybe even in years as he can't buy a win on his solo adventures in Scotland.

For the podcast save, Shane's inundated with cup competitions in South Africa, beer tokens or not, while Ken does well to squeeze in three games in France with mixed results, but will they be enough to keep the board and fans interest or is the gloss already starting to come off?

We also touch on tactic development when it comes to player selection - do you pick a player for the role, or build a role around the player?
