Regens, if you don't know, are players the game invents to replace retiring real world stars, and my save file is now filled with them exclusively. Maybe that’s because they sold all of the wonderkid regens I bought for them. Turns out Real Madrid want me back, having struggled to secure success since my departure.

When I make my comeback, it’s with mid-table Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, and leave them four years later as serial league winners, with a Europa League (still quaintly called the EURO Cup in FM2012, modelled after the now-defunct UEFA Cup) in the club’s trophy cabinet. We survive the season in the Premier League, but I resign, heartbroken. But no – the new owner has his own man in mind, and invites him to fixtures to watch my fixtures.
In the background of this success, there is a takeover in the works. We out-punch our monied rivals and win the Championship, securing the unprecedented holy grail of Premier League football.īut there’s trouble brewing. The following season, the old pattern re-emerges. I choose club in digital tears, but it’s a choice that is quickly vindicated. Results suffer at national level, and I am forced to choose: club or country. Naturally, I keep Darlington up, but the toils of a Championship season take their toll on me. I’ll be damned if I’m going to let that happen, so when Will Buckley (currently Bolton Wanders 29-year-old winger) is sacked as manager, I throw my hat into the ring on a basis that would allow me to manage England part time. Languishing at the foot of the Championship, my former team are in danger of throwing away all of my hard work. But then this footballing story gets its moment of romance: Darlington are struggling, and they need my help. I struggle through for some time, qualifying for the Euros with no issues in accordance with the absolute bare minimum expectation for an England boss (here’s to you, Schteve). With no clear succession plan in place, I am left without any clear elite spine at all. Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley have both just retired midway into their thirties, signalling the end of an entire generation of English footballers – our real world current generation. But I’m arguably taking charge of the national side at the hardest possible moment. It’s the proudest moment of my career, and it feels hard earned at this point. Perhaps inevitably, England come calling. These rags-to-riches storie are what made Football Manager is made for, but what's slightly more unusual is that I don't lose interest, stop, or roll a new game. Wage structures are shattered - all in the pursuit of footballing dominance. La Liga, the Champions League, the Club World Cup – all fall before the might of the squad I assemble.
It’s only the Champions League that eludes me with Napoli, and so I leave Naples for the fervour of Real Madrid, and immediately create a squad that lives up to the Madridista legend. We dominate Italy, winning all domestic trophies much to Juventus’ disdain - not to mention the frustration of a newly oil-rich Palermo, who hoover up many of Europe’s biggest stars and towards whom I now harbour an irrational real-world hatred as a result. Under-achieving Napoli have heard talk of one of Europe’s brightest young managers, and offer me the chance to rehabilitate them, and turn them into a team that can consistently qualify for the Champions League

The foundation of the greatest run of form in the club’s history is built on loans and free transfers as I lead Darlo from the Conference to the Championship – where the eyes of the footballing world watch with shock as we survive, still penniless, in a midtable surrounded by ex-Premier League clubs. These are just generic press shots of FM2012 rather than of Daniel's specific game, for reasons that will become clear. But a bargain basement brand of football works. tragically go out of business in the real world, so money is tight to say the very least. For some real world context, this is just before Darlington F.C. It’s a tough start, both winless and penniless. So that’s how I remain until the fateful day Darlington F.C., in the fifth tier of English football, take a punt on me. They know only the option to start the game unemployed. I’m having an existential crisis and the line between real and fictional is melting.įor anyone familiar with the process of starting a new save file on an Football Manager game, you’ll know that you can parachute in to manage a team of your choosing. Now, as I finally wind down my Football Manager 2012 playthrough through an unholy combination of bugs and, well, having won everything, the future beckons. My avatar, managing Tottenham Hotspur, is 67.
