An FM13 Blog

A football manager blog full of hopeless optimism (at least initially). I started a blog for a previous FM13 career but that fell firmly flat on its face.

After reaching 2033 it became clear depsite some small success my managerial career was dead in the water. So I started afresh with this current career and blog. After a fun though low key FM13 save I'm now moving onto my FM14 save!

I'm hoping I'll have gotten the worst of my mistakes out of my system and as I'm not going to be updating the blog story style hopefully it will be easier to update.

Houston we have a problem [2021]

I couldn't resist the title.

It didn't take long. I settled down into getting Aberdeen ready for the next season. Relegating players to the reserves and the unwanted list....saying no to an agent offer for Liam Polworth for the umpteenth time... and then I saw that the Houston job was open in the MLS. I express some interest and after initially laughing it off they then offer me the job. Cunning bastards, the Aberdeen board never saw it coming.



And whats the situation with Houston....oh...they're bottom...




And what makes it worse is that they were previously champions. They won it the year before so they have had a definite fall from grace.

I think there's enough there to work with. I just need to get to grips with the rules, and the transfer system, and get my staff set up, and get an assistant and...well a lot before the next match against Chivas!






The infrastructure is fairly good though and I think it'll be an interesting challenge. The US always seems to have quite fair and competitive leagues/competitions, at least as an outsider, so I think building a dynasty here will be harder but much more rewarding.
