Every man and their dog seems to be revealing their save plans for Football Manager 21, with the new game out in one month and the Beta potentially just a few weeks away.
The Journeyman | BVB: Part 1 – Braganca Reunion
After a few months focusing on managing England in the Nations League, we took advantage of a mini manager merry-go-round to take the reigns at Borussia Dortmund. And, pleasingly, it also takes me to my favourite club in Germany having previously done so in Portugal and Spain.
The Journeyman | Cagliari Calcio: Part 7 – Unbelievable Events
Cagliari headed into the Winter break in January 2033 on the back of five successive draws but 13 games unbeaten in Serie A. That had us occupying the Europa League positions, but well beyond the ambitious Champions League goal that the board had bizarrely set in the summer.

The Journeyman | Vamos Valencia: Part 18 – A Shocking Start to La Liga
On the back of a second successive league and cup double, Valencia CF's efforts to rebuild were somewhat hampered by a lack of finances. That meant putting our trust in youth while the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid went on made spending sprees. Things were about to get a bit tricky...
