  1. 5-0 vs Milan and 8-2 vs Dortmund is pretty insane! Bad luck in the final...
  2. Nice back story. I've managed Rapid Wien earlier and had a great time so this should be fun especially with the Salzburg "giants" in the league.
  3. I think you will do it, ASSE don't seem to have enough goals in them.
  4. Funny thing i discovered when managing Juventus - who SI now have full rights for - their B team is still called Zebre U23
  5. Lol - pure laziness on my part to not update the real names... There was another great young Italian striker at Atalanta but we chose not to sign him and he's moved to Newcastle
  6. Great first season, congratulations on the league title
  7. Do PSG still have Mbappe? They seem to be struggling!
  8. Nice to see the first FM23+ save - good luck with this!
  9. Back to Juve, it's been a pretty strong start to the season. Liverpool is the only defeat so far, they continue to be a thorn in the side personally for Bumbercatch right from his Brighton days. Impressively, Napoli are keeping pace at the top of the table.
  10. A quick catch-up with the former clubs managed by Moe Bumbercatch. Brighton have sadly become a mid-table team again, finishing 10th in the EPL last season. They also exited the UCL in the round of 16 stage vs Porto. While they have lost a couple of key players, they continue to spend big bringing in players like Son, Shaw, Samuel Lino, Tielemans, etc. But it seems like the Champions League days are sadly behind them. Young Boys did manage to retain the league title in 2026, the year after Moe left, but then finished 2nd and 3rd in subsequent seasons. Which is definitely not good enough, and they should hopefully be back challenging for the league this season. Yverdon sadly promptly got relegated to the Swiss Challenge League, where they have had a couple of 4th place finishes as they try to come back up again.
  11. Good going mate! Looking at that GD, you definitely deserve to win the league. Still in Europa as well.
  12. We identified a few areas in the first team squad to be improved over the summer, and accordingly went ahead with our business. Will profile the 3 incoming players who will play an important role, as Karel Mikel will stay on in Serbia for a year. Giorgio is the biggest signing of the summer - an elite defender already and fixture in the Italian team at the age of 24. He is the long term successor to Bremer at the club. We needed a new LB as far too often we conceded soft goals due to Lodi/Hamache not been strong enough defensively. I went all out for Ait-Nouri but his release clause was 68m and on top of that he wanted 300k/week. So eventually we have settled for Italian and ex-Juve player Luca Pellegrini on loan from Real Madrid for a season. Also I was keen to get a new GK in and again we lost out on our primary target as Islan Meslier moved to Spurs from Barca and turned down our offer. Robert Sanchez is not quite the ex Brighton player Moe that he would end up managing again. He is also not a clear upgrade on Blazquez but I am hoping he does the business for us. Total 70m spent, but a lot of it was also recouped. With Scalvini signing, we decided to let Sutalo move on. Zarraga and Iling both make their loan moves permanent. Renan Lodi is also moved on as we don't need 3 right backs. The rest are all players who have been out on loan and we decided to sell as they didn't really have a future in Turin. So we actually ended up getting in more than we spent once again. I hope the team is good enough to compete for the Champions League, although I am not too sure.
