End of the 3rd season. Despite beating Boca and Talleres, finished 3rd thanks to the poor showing away from home vs lowly teams (Defensa y Justicia, Gimnasia de Mendoza). Lost Libertadores final, conceding the equaliser in the 96 th min, then in the extra time. Finances look better thanks to the Copa Libertadores involvement and players sales. The board is very reluctant to improve any facilities, however they ve agreed to expand the stadium from 12 to 14 k. Tickets prices are way lower which is nice in terms of realism and really divert the financial politics to player outflow. Got major leagues loaded (including MLS and Mexico), as always. Shortly about the players- signed some well-known uruguayans -Diaz and Borbas (Diaz for a record fee -5,25 mln in installments, Borbas as a freebie), but default Ferro players still feature in the squad (7 of them featured in Libertadores final first eleven), ones like GK Insua, AMR Ayala, DL Penapil were in the reserves or u20 squad. Pulicastro as a GOAT, already a legend.

End of 2nd season with Verdolago. Promoted to Primera season ago, now finished 4th and gained Libertadores group stage. Could be a runner-up, but lost soundly to Belgrano in the last league week. Roman went to Verona for a club-record fee of 5,75 mln, finances insecure anyway.

Started a save with Ferro Carril Oeste, club located in the citys centre, having one of the oldest still-used stadiums in South America. First impression is that you dont need to spend a lot for transfers, many talented youngsters are in the squad already. Im pushing for promotion from crazy Primera Nacional (2nd tier) consisted of 36 teams. Some players like Roman , Pulicastro and Nunez to be tested in any later european save. Hell of a league, lot of derbies and not too much money in it. Soy de Caballito, vago y atorrante..

End of 1st season. Polonia Warsaw - promoted to polish 1 liga (2nd tier) Belenenses -promoted to Liga 2 after neverending playoffs ND Primorje - promoted to slovenian Prva liga (PRM) Peterborough United- taken in the preseason, league 1-> championship. Its basically everyday save, mostly evenings. Still lower league management , but probably will change when everybody promoted to the respected top tiers., also career mode /journeyman is ok for me, dont mind.

End of october after 1st session. Next sessions scheduled for evenings (CET), friday -from morning hrs

End of my 4 th and last season as Padova Manager. Been approached by struggling but favourite Toro, after some hesitation i ve accepted the job after the season. Well , ive been sitting mid table, participating in Europa League having the game vs Bilbao in perspective (which i didnt expect to win). Won the cup, got them into the Champions League just to leave for Torino who are 3 pts above the drop in 37 th week. It means business, isnt it? Ghirardello finally recevied his Italian call up, my fav FM23 player already.

4th season -new stadium in plans, now a suggar daddy

Started FM 23 beta save as Padova Calcio, in a memory of buying their fake shirt in Venezia in the mid 90s (Vlaović , Lalas, Galderisi and two seasons in A to note). Managed to win serie C and Serie B, just have finished 5th in serie A. In contrary to previous italian saves, its way harder to loan decent players and even harder to extend their stay (finally it seems fixed!). Its been relatively easy few years ago to complete a decent team in C full of national u21 and u19 loanees. After winning CL and serie A with Genoa in 22 , i have several decent italian players in mind-signed Salcedo, Esposito and Murgia during serie B season (all came as unsettled bargains). One Padova player is worth to note- Tommaso Ghirardello. Initially in u19 squad, but truly a superb player - IRL seen him featuring on Padovas bench in the last games.

Just won the league with Padova, same problem with fans. Cannot perform better, both rivals heavily beaten (Vicenza 4-1 H and 3-0 A). Many season ticket holders preferred to boycott instead of a promotion party. Language mix bug as well , polish english.
