E143: Oh my Johnny, it's the Charity Shield as we start pulling the plug on Football Manager 2023 [Live Episode]

The Football Manager 2024 beta - aka Early Access - is here.

Ken's on holiday for this one so while he's away we've managed to get a remote link to do the podcast this week and it all builds to just one match before we make the jump to Football Manager 2024.

It's the biggest game of the pre-season. All the preparation comes down to this - the FA Community Shield (nee the much-loved Charity Shield) as Liverpool and Man City lock horns for the first time this season. Liverpool have made two additional signings ahead of the game, City have Haaland pulling the strings up top and Wembley provides the backdrop with bragging rights on the line.

Shane's also sharing his predictions for the season (despite being tipped by the media to win all around him), how Castlewarren are getting on in their new former League of Ireland home and for some reason, Chasing Abbey's Oh My Johnny comes into play. Find the video link below.

We'll be back in the studio next week with normal service resumed so for now, soak in the charity shield and pick your side for the season ahead!
