Could be to implement FC United appointing their new manager?

It's been in every FM since FM15...

I think it should be possible to set a preferred assistant manager for managers in the database, resulting in said manager trying to bring in their preferred assistant whenever possible. I don't think managers bringing their assistant with them to new clubs or countries that they start managing happens often enough - think the only example of it happening naturally is Jurgen Klopp bringing Zeljko Buvac with him to Man City on my most recent save. Other than that, I haven't really seen it take place at all. For example, current Port Vale manager Neil Aspin has had Lee Nogan as his assistant manager since his time managing Halifax, having brought him to both Gateshead and Vale as well, yet in game Aspin just doesn't seem to bring Nogan with him whenever he gets a new job despite Nogan being in his favoured personnel. Another example is Billy Heath - he and Mark Carroll having been working together since 2002 at Bridlington, Frickley, Hall Road Rangers, North Ferriby, Halifax and Alfreton, but Heath does not attempt to bring Carroll with him whenever he gets a new job despite Carroll being in his favoured personnel.

'Feel free to tell them no decision has been made yet...' Miles, in response to a tweet about one of the retailers claiming the beta is definitely going live tonight.

Unless DLgamer can read Miles' mind, they've probably got it wrong.

No, was definitely a Tuesday last year.

Ah nice one, cheers for pointing that out

Looking on there now, don't see anything labelled as pre-release?

Whereabouts is this on SteamDB? Can't find it anywhere.

This already happens. The lower the club's reputation, you're less likely to have to do pre and post match interviews.

Because we know it's certain that Brexit's happening, just the outcome of it isn't clear yet (hence the wide range of outcomes possible on FM). Meanwhile, it's still unclear as to whether Catalonian independence is happening or not.

Christ, the guy has a life you know. Just because he takes a quick break from Twitter doesn't mean anything.

Thanks for confirming that you're Wandy778.

On the features side of things, Miles has tweeted you can now choose whether a player who has scored 2 goals already takes the pen if you get one or not.

Fiver says it's Miles.

I've heard your mate did so well in getting Woking from to the Conference to the Champions League he's been offered a job in the England set up. Stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed

If it's not today then it has to be tomorrow imo.

Here's something interesting, the 'packages' relating to each region FM's available in were updated starting from about 20 minutes ago... is it only a matter of time now? (source: https://steamdb.info/app/624090/subs/)

Most likely the alpha testers.

2D Classic always. You could make the 3D match engine match the graphics of FIFA and PES and I'd still be inclined to use 2D.

Whilst scouting packages are realistic for clubs at the top level, I highly doubt clubs below the Football League buy them.

I don't think SI include signings that occur just as a publicity stunt in the game.

From what I understand it's how much the scout recommends the player out of 100, not a number that's half of the CA or PA.

Seems like a good idea, though I hope it doesn't end up killing managing below the Conference North. Spending stupid money to find out about North West Counties League players through a scouting package for the league when you manage a team in the North East Counties League for example could end up financially crippling a club very quickly.

Guernsey are a real 'island team' in the English leagues, seeing as the island of Guernsey is closer to France than it is to England.
