One thing Football Manager NEEDS to bring back… DEADLINE DAY!

I want that proper sense of chaos/excitement when the transfer window is about to shut.

It should feel like the biggest day of the window, not just another day in your save.

In 2000, Valdas Dambrauskas went on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? He had zero experience as a professional footballer.

He used the money he won to fund his coaching education in England.

He started out managing ninth-tier Kingsbury London Tigers.

26 years later, he’s just taken Sabah FC into the Champions League for the first time in their history!

A career path that you couldn't even do on Football Manager... 😂🇦🇿

Bury are coming back from the dead!

Four years later, the fan-owned club returned to Gigg Lane and started again in the ninth tier.

Back-to-back promotions mean Bury are now just THREE promotions away from returning to the EFL... 🙌

Yan Diomande has one of the craziest soccer stories that you’ll ever see.

◽ In 2023, he was still playing high school soccer in Florida at Yulee High School and DME Academy after moving from Ivory Coast.

◽ That same year, playing for AS Frenzi, he won the UPSL national championship and even earned a $1,000 check as the playoff's top scorer.

◽ In November 2024, he signed with Leganés B.

◽ Just four months later, he made his La Liga debut for Leganés against Real Madrid.

◽ After impressing in just 10 La Liga appearances, RB Leipzig signed him in a deal worth around $23 million.

◽ At the 2026 World Cup, he became the youngest player ever to represent Ivory Coast at the tournament and helped the nation reach the knockout stage for the first time.

◽ Now, just three years after playing high school soccer in Florida, he's set to join Real Madrid in a deal worth more than €100 million.

Incredible. 😳👏

Sacking the manager after he got you promoted with 108 points.

He definitely gave the board an ultimatum after they rejected his request for another scout.

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

Completely fair. We need to stamp this out of football before it’s too late.

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

£140 for a game that resets every year is absolutely obscene.

EA have spent years finding new ways to squeeze more money out of players.

The only way it stops is if people stop paying.
