Prime example below of the AI just not being logical in regard to transfers.
I've agreed a deal to leave at the end of the season so in January I have zero control over transfers, however, the Director of Football, who is Luís Campos (one of the best!) has accepted two low offers for two key first team players. It's annoying, but from a club point of view it's just bad business - bad in terms of money and bad in terms of selling two first team players mid-season. We are Real Madrid.
Orkun Kökçü is worth £50m, he's accepted £24.5m:
Aurélien Tchouameni is worth £90m, he's accepted £52m:
So one of the best Director's of Football in the world has accepted two low offers for players that are key, not unhappy playing in a team that are flying in the league and Champions League, and the club are not in any financial issues. There's no logic to it - if there is, I cannot see it.

Club History
Formation and early history (1881–1903)
The first record of football being played on Tyneside dates from 3 March 1877 at Elswick Rugby Club. Later that year, Newcastle's first football club, Tyne Association, was formed. The origins of Newcastle United Football Club itself can be traced back to the formation of a football club by the Stanley Cricket Club of Byker in November 1881. This team was renamed Newcastle East End F.C. in October 1882, to avoid confusion with the cricket club in Stanley, County Durham. Rosewood F.C. of Byker merged with Newcastle East End a short time later. In 1886, Newcastle East End moved from Byker to Heaton. In August 1882, Newcastle West End F.C. formed from West End Cricket Club, and in May 1886, the club moved into St James' Park. The two clubs became rivals in the Northern League. In 1889, Newcastle East End became a professional team, before becoming a limited company the following March. However, on the other hand, Newcastle West End were in serious financial trouble and approached East End with a view to a take over. Newcastle West End were eventually dissolved, and a number of their players and backroom staff joined Newcastle East End, effectively merging the two clubs, with Newcastle East End taking over the lease on St James' Park in May 1892
With only one senior club in the city for fans to support, development of the club was much more rapid. Despite being refused entry to the Football League's First Division at the start of the 1892–93 season, they were invited to play in their new Second Division. However, with no big names playing in the Second Division, they turned down the offer and remained in the Northern League, stating "gates would not meet the heavy expenses incurred for travelling". In a bid to start drawing larger crowds, Newcastle East End decided to adopt a new name in recognition of the merger. Suggested names included Newcastle F.C., Newcastle Rangers, Newcastle City and City of Newcastle, but Newcastle United was decided upon on 9 December 1892, to signify the unification of the two teams. The name change was accepted by the Football Association on 22 December, but the club was not legally constituted as Newcastle United Football Club Co. Ltd. until 6 September 1895. At the start of the 1893–94 season, Newcastle United were once again refused entry to the First Division and so joined the Second Division, along with Liverpool and Woolwich Arsenal. They played their first competitive match in the division that September against Woolwich Arsenal, with a score of 2–2.
Turnstile numbers were still low, and the incensed club published a statement stating, "The Newcastle public do not deserve to be catered for as far as professional football is concerned". However, eventually figures picked up by 1895–96, when 14,000 fans watched the team play Bury. That season Frank Watt became secretary of the club, and he was instrumental in promotion to the First Division for the 1898–99 season. However, they lost their first game 4–2 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers and finished their first season in thirteenth place.
First glory years and war years (1903–1937)
In 1903–04, the club built up a promising squad of players, and went on to dominate English football for almost a decade, the team known for their "artistic play, combining team-work and quick, short passing". Long after his retirement, Peter McWilliam, the team's defender at the time, said, "The Newcastle team of the 1900s would give any modern side a two goal start and beat them, and further more, beat them at a trot." Newcastle United went on to win the League on three occasions during the 1900s; 1904–05, 1906–07 and 1908–09. In 1904–05, they nearly did the double, losing to Aston Villa in the 1905 FA Cup Final. They were beaten again the following year by Everton in the 1906 FA Cup Final. They reached the final again in 1908 where they lost to Wolves. They finally won the FA Cup in 1910 when they beat Barnsley in the final. They lost again the following year in the final against Bradford City.
The team returned to the FA Cup final in 1924, in the second final held at the then new Wembley Stadium. They defeated Aston Villa, winning the club's second FA Cup. Three years later, they won the First Division championship a fourth time in 1926–27, with Hughie Gallacher, one of the most prolific goal scorers in the club's history, captaining the team. Other key players in this period were Neil Harris, Stan Seymour and Frank Hudspeth. In 1930, Newcastle United came close to relegation, and at the end of the season Gallacher left the club for Chelsea, and at the same time Andy Cunningham became the club's first team manager. In 1931–32, the club won the FA Cupa third time. However, a couple of years later, at the end of the 1933–34 season, the team were relegated to the Second Division after 35 seasons in the top. Cunningham left as manager and Tom Mather took over.
Post-war success (1937–1969)
The club found it difficult to adjust to the Second Division and were nearly further relegated in the 1937–38 season, when they were spared on goal averages. However, when World War II broke in 1939, Newcastle had a chance to regroup, and in the War period, they brought in Jackie Milburn, Tommy Walker and Bobby Cowell. They were finally promoted back to the First Division at the end of the 1947–48 season. During the 1950s, Newcastle won the FA Cup trophy on three occasions within a five-year period, beating Blackpool in 1951, Arsenal in 1952, and Manchester City in 1955. However, after this last FA Cup victory the club fell back into decline and were relegated to the Second Division once again at the end of the 1960–61 season under the management of Charlie Mitten. Mitten left after one season in the Second Division and was replaced by former player Joe Harvey. Newcastle returned to the First Division at the end of the 1964–65 season after winning the Second Division title. Under Harvey, the club qualified for European competition for the first time after a good run in the 1967–68 season and the following year won the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final, triumphing 6–2 over two legs against Hungary's Újpest in the final.
Bouncing between divisions (1969–1992)
Harvey bought striker Malcolm Macdonald in the summer of 1971, for a club record transfer fee of £180,000 (worth £2562961 in 2016). He was an impressive goal scorer, who led United's attack to Wembley in their 1974 FA Cup Final defeat at the hands of Liverpool. The club also had back to back triumphs in the Texaco Cup in 1974 and 1975. Harvey left the club in 1975, with Gordon Lee brought in to replace him. Lee took the team to the 1976 Football League Cup Final against Manchester City, but failed to bring the trophy back to Tyneside. However, he sold Macdonald to Arsenal at the end of the season, a decision of which Macdonald later said "I loved Newcastle, until Gordon Lee took over". Lee left for Everton in 1977, and was replaced by Richard Dinnis.
United dropped once again to the Second Division at the end of the 1977–78 season. Dinnis was replaced by Bill McGarry, and then he was replaced by Arthur Cox. Cox steered Newcastle back to the First Division at the end of the 1983–84 season, with players such as Peter Beardsley, Chris Waddle and ex-England captain Kevin Keegan the fulcrum of the team. However, with a lack of funds, Cox left for Derby County and Keegan retired. With managers such as Jack Charlton and then Willie McFaul, Newcastle remained in the top-flight, until key players such as Waddle, Beardsley and Paul Gascoigne were sold, and the team was relegated once more in 1989. McFaul left the managerial post, and was replaced by Jim Smith. Smith left at the start of the 1991–92 season and the board appointed Osvaldo Ardiles his replacement.
Into the Premier League and near-title misses (1992–2006)
Sir John Hall became the club's chairman in 1992, and replaced Ardiles with Keegan, who managed to save the team from relegation to the Third Division. Keegan was given more money for players, and he brought in Rob Lee, Paul Bracewell and Barry Venison and the club won the then First Division Championship at the end of the 1992–93 season, earning promotion to the then new Premier League. At the end of the 1993–94 season, their first year back in the top flight they finished in third, their highest league finish since 1927. The attacking philosophy of Keegan led to the team being labelled "The Entertainers" by Sky Sports.
Keegan took Newcastle to two consecutive runners-up finishes in the league in 1995–96 and 1996–97, coming very close to winning the title in the former season which included a 4–3 game against Liverpool at Anfield – often considered the greatest game in Premier League history – which ended with a defining image of the Premier League with Keegan slumped over the advertising hoarding. The success of the team was in part due to the attacking talent of players like David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer, who was signed on 30 July 1996 for a then world record fee of £15 million.
Keegan left Newcastle in January 1997 and was replaced by Kenny Dalglish, however the club endured a largely unsuccessful season with a 13th-place finish in the 1997–98 FA Premier League, failure to progress beyond the group stages of the 1997–98 UEFA Champions League despite beating Barcelona and group winners Dynamo Kiev at St James' Park as well as coming from 2–0 down to draw 2–2 with Valery Lobanovsky's team in Ukraine and defeat in the 1998 FA Cup Final. Dalglish was replaced as manager early in the following season by Ruud Gullit.
The club once again finished thirteenth in the league and lost the 1999 FA Cup Final. Gullit fell into disagreements with the squad and chairman Freddy Shepherd, and quit the club four games into the 1999–2000 season with the team bottom of the table to be replaced by Bobby Robson. The club managed to reach an FA Cup Semi-final and to stay in the Premier League.
A title challenge emerged during the 2001–02 season, and Newcastle's fourth-place finish saw them qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The following season, Robson guided the team to another title challenge and finished third in the League, and the second group stage of the Champions League, after being the first team to have progressed past the first group stage after losing their first three games. Newcastle finished fifth in the league at the end of the 2003–04 season, and exited the Champions League in the qualifying rounds, but despite this Robson was sacked in August 2004 following a series of disagreements with the club.
Graeme Souness was brought in to manage by the start of the 2004–05 season. In his time at the helm, he broke the club's transfer record by signing Michael Owen. Souness also took the Geordies to the quarterfinals of the 2005 UEFA Cup with Alan Shearer winning the tournament's golden boot as well. However, he was sacked in February 2006 after a bad start to the club's 2005–06 season. Glenn Roeder took over, initially on a temporary basis, before being appointed full-time manager at the end of the season. Shearer retired at the end of the 2005–06 season as the club's all-time record goal scorer, with 206 goals.
Sale, relegation and decline (2006–2010)
Despite finishing the 2005–06 season in seventh, Roeder's fortunes changed in the 2006–07 season, with a terrible injury run to the senior squad, and he left the club by mutual consent on 6 May 2007. After the 2006–07 season, and inside the Premier League era, Newcastle United were now the fifth most successful Premiership club in terms of points gained.
Sam Allardyce was appointed Roeder's replacement as manager on 15 May 2007. On 7 June, Freddy Shepherd's final shares in the club were sold to Mike Ashley and Shepherd was replaced as chairman by Chris Mort on 25 July. Ashley then announced he would be delisting the club from the London Stock Exchange upon completion of the takeover. The club officially ceased trading on the Stock Exchange as of 8am on the 18 July 2007 at 5p a share.
Allardyce departed the club on in January 2008 by mutual consent after a bad start to the 2007–08 season, and Kevin Keegan was reappointed as Newcastle manager. Mort stepped down as chairman in June and was replaced by Derek Llambias, a long-term associate of Ashley. Newcastle finished the 2007–08 season in twelfth place, but as the season drew to a close, Keegan publicly criticised the board, stating they were not providing the team enough financial support.
In September 2008 Keegan resigned as manager, stating: "It's my opinion that a manager must have the right to manage and that clubs should not impose upon any manager any player that he does not want". Former Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear was appointed as his replacement, but in February 2009, due to his heart surgery, Alan Shearer was appointed interim manager in his absence. Under Shearer, the club were relegated to the Football League Championship at the end of the 2008–09 season, the first time the club had left the Premier League since joining it in 1993.
Following their relegation, the club was put up for sale in June 2009, with an asking price of £100 million. Chris Hughton was given the manager job on a caretaker basis before taking over full-time on 27 October 2009. On the same day, Ashley announced that the club was no longer for sale.
Promotion and brief revival (2010–2016)
Hughton led Newcastle to win the 2009–10 Football League Championship, securing automatic promotion on 5 April 2010 with five games remaining, and securing the title on 19 April; Newcastle were promoted back to the Premier League after just one season away.
Under Hughton, Newcastle enjoyed a strong start to the 2010–11 season, but he was sacked on 6 December 2010. The club's board stated that they felt "an individual with more managerial experience [was] needed to take the club forward." Three days later, Alan Pardew was appointed as manager with a five-and-a-half-year contract. Despite some turbulence, Newcastle were able to finish 12th at the end of the season, with one particular highlight being a 4–4 home draw against Arsenal that saw Newcastle come back from four goals down to claim a point.
The start of the 2011–12 season was very successful as they went on to enjoy one of their strongest openings to a season, playing 11 consecutive games unbeaten. Newcastle eventually secured a place in the 2012–13 Europa League with a fifth-place finish, their highest league position since the Bobby Robson days. Further honours were to come as Pardew won both the Premier League Manager of the Season and the LMA Manager of the Year awards.
In the following season Newcastle made few acquisitions in the summer and suffered injuries over the season. As a result, the first half of the season was marred by a run of ten losses in 13 games, which saw the club sink near the relegation zone. The Europa League campaign was largely successful with the team making the quarter-finals before bowing out to eventual finalists Benfica. Domestically, Newcastle struggled, and stayed up after a 2–1 victory over already-relegated Queens Park Rangers on the penultimate game of the season.
The 2014–15 season saw Newcastle fail to win any of their first seven games, prompting fans to start a campaign to get Pardew sacked as manager before an upturn in form saw them climb to fifth in the table. Pardew left for Crystal Palace in December. On 26 January 2015, his assistant John Carver was put in charge for the remainder of the season but came close to relegation, staying up on the final day with a 2–0 home win against West Ham, with Jonás Gutiérrez, who beat testicular cancer earlier in the season, scoring the team's second goal.
On 9 June 2015, Carver was sacked and replaced by Steve McClaren the following day. On 11 March 2016, McClaren was sacked after nine months as manager, with Newcastle in 19th place in the Premier League and the club having won just six of 28 Premier League games during his time at the club. He was replaced by Spaniard Rafael Benítez on the same day, who signed a three-year deal, but was not able to prevent the club from being relegated for the second time under Ashley's ownership.
Return to the Premier League (2016)
Newcastle returned to the Premier League at the first attempt, winning the Championship title on 7 May 2017 with a 3–0 win against Barnsley. On 16 October 2017, Mike Ashley put Newcastle United up for sale for a second time. The team finished the season with a 3–0 win over the previous year's champions Chelsea, finishing 10th in the league, their highest finish in four years. The following season saw a 13th-place finish, despite being in the relegation zone in January. As such Ashley came under increased scrutiny for his lack of investment in the squad and apparent focus on other business ventures. Benitez left his position on 30 June 2019 after rejecting a new contract. On 17 July 2019, Steve Bruce was appointed as manager on a three-year contract.
PIF Era (2021–present)On 7 October 2021, after 14 years as owner, Ashley sold the club to a new consortium for a reported £305 million. The consortium was made up of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, RB Sports & Media and PCP Capital Partners. On 20 October, Bruce left his position by mutual consent, after receiving a reported £8 million payout. Eddie Howe was appointed as Bruce's replacement on 8 November. Howe guided the club to an 11th-place finish after a run of 12 wins in their final 18 games, and Newcastle became the first team in Premier League history to avoid relegation after failing to win any of their first 14 games.
On 21 August 2022, Newcastle United Women moved into the club's ownership for the first time, after a formal restructuring. On 22 May 2023, the club sealed qualification for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years, after a 0–0 home draw with Leicester City. The season was the subject of the Amazon Prime Video documentary We Are Newcastle United.

Continuing on from this post in my second season with Spurs in 2027/28.
My squad was picked apart before the season started with Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Karim Konaté leaving for "bigger" clubs, then Manchester United coming in right at the end of the window with £145m for star man Dejan Kulusevski. So brought in a few Newgens plus Endrick, Luís Guilherme, Khephren Thuram, and Nicolò Rovella.
Also brought Harry Kane back on a free, but he was a disaster - bagged 1 goal in 15, moaning about being benched then forcing a move to Newcastle United in January, I got £25m for him and he saved Newcastle United from relegation, so I guess everyone was happy in the end
Anyway, we ended up just winning the league on goal difference (now back-to-back titles), or more importantly, Arsenal BOTTLED IT - they had an 11 point lead at Christmas, and we won on goal difference
They also bottled the FA Cup with a penalty loss - Arsenal turned me down before I ended up taking the Spurs job, so I enjoyed that.
We also won the Community Shield, Carabao Cup (again) and the Champions League:
Only need to win the FA Cup in England and I've done the lot, but can't see myself staying much longer here, Levy gave me a £4m transfer budget last year and a £20m transfer budget this year which I making sure I can't sign the players I need, so more than likely I'll play the Super Cup (or maybe one more season) then step down.
I've got my eyes on moving abroad, or if I stay in England then either Newcastle United, possibly Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham (tycoon takeover) or Blackburn Rovers (tycoon takeover). Also consider Manchester United if the Glazers leave (they've still not sold up!).0 -

Hi Steve,
great work again mate,

A few of mine from my save in 2027:

in England, anyone noticed that if you sell a player who fails a work permit, and the buying team cannot allocated a spare ESC slot, that the transfer just stays "stuck" and you cannot cancel it (and they cannot proceed to buy), it just auto cancels when the next window closes? Happened twice to me now.

I've been doing a little journeyman save, started with Chesterfield enjoying back-to back promotions into League One, then took the relegated Burnley job taking them from the Championship back to the Premier League, which ended up with me landing the Spurs job in Summer 2027, squad needed a lot bit of work to make it fit how I wanted to play, but got there in the end:
*Ederson wasn't my signing.
We ended up winning the Carabao Cup and Premier League in my first season:
Buzzing Burnley managed to stay up after I left, but they also won the Europa Conference League - qualifying after I won the Carabao Cup with them whilst in the Championship
Special shout out to Assan Ouédraogo for 17 goals and 4 assists in 36 games, other noticeable signing were Dennis Seimen who I brought with me from Burnley, Iván Fresneda, Moisés Caicedo, Nestory Irankunda and Benjamin Šeško. Most of my other signings were newgens, so I'll post some screenshots of them later.
Unfortunately, Milan beat us 1-0 in the Europa League final:
After that season's success and qualifying for the Champions League, Daniel Levy armed me with a £4m transfer budget, yes £4m
Which led me to look at their finances... £865m in debt. So this Summer will be a cheap one, but I do have Harry Kane already coming home on a free transfer.

I'm always one of the first to flag criticism amongst this thread of general negativity, but the last two patches and the communication around them from SI have pushed FM24 closer to being the most fun FM to date, for me personally. The "most complete edition to date" is still work in progress in my opinion as there are still a few bugs knocking around but I am really enjoying it overall. I wasn't happy with the quality at launch but I am happy since yesterday's patch.

Just had a situation in which Porto offered me a job, and Malaga asked for a meeting to try and keep me. Telling the Malaga board that I felt my time had come to an end for whatever reason rescinded the Porto job offer and obviously ensured my resignation from Malaga.
I think this is a bug, I'm sure it's been mentioned a couple of times on YouTube and Twitch by content creators.

I think Q1 of next year
They were planned this October but think they are struggling with the new 3nm process/ iPhones have taken the all the capacity
If the iPhone 15 is anything to go by, we have alot to look forward to. The iPhone 15 pro can play xbox games (assassins creed)
Apple took that long to deliver the M2's that we cancelled and ordered the M3 Max, came on Tuesday, playing FM24 on it tonight for the first time and it's brilliant, graphics like butter, no overheating and no fan noise

Where can I find a list of the competitions that include match day presentation packages for FM24 (not just licenses), that are complete with like the scoreboard, adboards etc? For example, like Germany Bundesliga and Champions League.

Thank you for all of your feedback in this thread so far. Please find an update from Studio Director Miles Jacobson here:
This is brilliant 👏🏻 Fair play to Miles and the team recognising that communication is just as important post-live as it is in the run up to the launch, especially when the product doesn’t really match the “most complete edition to date” marketing.
That’s what players want, clear visibility and ownership. Mistakes should be absolutely fine, it’s owning them and looking for improvement that’s key and a timeline allows us to understand that the feedback doesn’t go unnoticed and which bugs will be fixed and when, so we can decide when it’s worth coming back to start that long term save.

QuotePersonally, I don’t feel like FM24 is in a good enough place to start along term save until it’s patched some of the issues raised in the bugs forum, which is what I was hoping to do at launch, feel like I’m still “beta-ing”.
…is customer feedback. Same feedback I’ve left on my
Steam review. I’ve left feedback previously and raised bugs too. Happy to update my Steam review once the game is in a more complete state and bares closer resemblance to the “most complete FM to date” that was in the marketing. I’m not quite getting that feeling four days after launch.
