E169: The Football Manager Football Show finale? Ndidi it is.
After three years and 12 seasons, crossing from South America to England, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Scotland, France, South Africa, Portugal, Germany and back to England once again, it's time to bid farewell to The Football Manager Football Show.
Like Arsenal's bid to become Premier League champions and Jurgen Klopp's reign at perennial contenders Liverpool, all good things must come to an end and having seen Shane secure a Premier League trophy - his first league title since Galatasary (if you don't count South Africa) - and Ken being crowned Champions League winner for the first time since his season 4 victory with Real Madrid, we're saying goodbye to the Troy Parrotts, Harvey Barnes, Fabio Silvas and more of this world.
What started as a two-man journey through the world of Football Manager 2021, 2022, 2023 and now 2024 thanks to this iteration's ability to port a save and ultimately our universe, ends as a two-man journey that's come full circle in a way.
In this episode, we're sharing a few moments, a few highlights, and signing off in good spirits as we pave the way for more podcast fun in the future.
To all who've joined us on this adventure since January 2021, going from tens of downloads a week to hundreds and thousands, we hope you've enjoyed the craic, the games, the abuse, the insights, the mental torture, anguish and everything else that comes with this game we love. We're still playing, Shane's spending some time back in 2022, Ken's off to crack the MLS at long last and we'll cross paths again soon.
To every listener, regular and one-off, thanks a million for fuelling our love of the game and here's to whatever the future brings for Football Manager.
The blog will be getting an update shortly with more notes, standouts and musings, plus if you're new to the podcast, you've got THREE WHOLE YEARS of content to lend your ears to with different stories and adventures to take in, that collection's going nowhere.
