Sampdoria had made a solid yet wholly unspectacular start to life with Roberto di Lazaró, sitting firmly in mid-table and struggling to score goals heading into 2022.
Sempre Samp | Part 3: Beating the Zebras!
Sempre Samp | Part 2: Boring, Boring Samp!
The Sampdoria reign of fledgling Italian manager Roberto di Lazaró had begun fairly quietly, with a relatively pleasing opening day defeat at Atalanta backed up with a win over Salernitana and the sole addition of hot prospect defender Anel Ahmedhozdic.
Sempre Samp | Part 1: Benvenuto Alla Sampdoria
The wonderful world of Football Manager Beta brings us back to Italy for the second season in a row. This time around, FM22 sees us take the reins at Sampdoria, for no particular reason other than I fancied the challenge.
Trotters Talent | Part 62: The End – 30 Years of Trotters Talent
After 30 years of managing Bolton Wanderers, we'd absolutely turned this club on its head. Having signed up as boss with the club in League 2 and financial turmoil in 2020, we'd taken it through the leagues, to 15-time Champions of England, seven-times European Champions, and World Champions by 2050.
Trotters Talent | Part 61: Bolton Wanderers – Champions of the World!
Bolton Wanderers had bagged yet another Premier League title and a 6th Champions League in 10 years in the 2048/49 campaign. With 2050 (and FM22) approaching, I'd decided this would be my last season, which also happened to be the 175th in the club's history. And we went into it targeting a first Club World Cup and 15 titles in a row.
Trotters Talent | Part 60: Goalscoring Records Smashed
The summer of 2048 was a period of massive change as legendary (in my head anyway) club captain Lasse Hermansen and long-time Trotter Talent Jack Barlow departed the club after 13 and 14 years of service respectively.
Trotters Talent | Part 59: Lasse Hermansen: All-Time Most Bolton Wanderers League Appearances
Bolton Wanderers had another season to remember in 2046/47, winning a second treble as they became 12-times champions of England and five-time European champions.
Trotters Talent | Part 58: Onur Kocaaslan: All-Time Bolton Wanderers Top Goalscorer
A blistering start to the 2046/47 had Bolton Wanderers romping their way towards a 12th consecutive Premier League title. Halfway through the campaign, Bolton were still undefeated and only drawn once led by some scintillating performances by legendary midfielder Germán Martínez.
Soviet Surge | Part 45 | The End Of Soviet Surge
Vladimir Latunov's 22-year journey across Eastern Europe had come to an end as his FC Ural Yekaterinburg side lifted the Russian title for the first time in their history in 2042.
Football Manager 2022: My Save Plans
I wrote one of these blogs last year so I figured, with Football Manager 22 around the corner, I'd do the same again this year. Mainly because I'm really excited about the challenge I've come up with for this year's game.
