MESSI AT PSG | HOW IT MIGHT LOOK | THREE FM21 TACTICS
JOURNEYMAN #6 ALL AALBORG THE DANE TRAIN
Starting my managerial career in Iceland, and giving myself the task of climbing up the ladder by winning league titles, I liked the idea of charging through Scandinavia like some kind of reverse Scottish Viking warrior King. With Sweden ticked off the list, I had my sights set of making Denmark my next stop. Finland … Continue reading JOURNEYMAN #6 ALL AALBORG THE DANE TRAIN
JOURNEYMAN #5 SWEDE CHIN MUSIC
With great power (money), comes great resposi… Wait, let’s not go down the old Spider-Man route. Yes, we guided Djurgården into the Champions League group stage, yes, we may have conceded 16 to Liverpool over the two games, but a 2-1 win over Lyon and €14 million in the pot was a nice little bonus … Continue reading JOURNEYMAN #5 SWEDE CHIN MUSIC
JOURNEYMAN #4 DJUR LEAVING US?

Iceland was ranked 60th after winning the title with Valur, which meant only moving … Continue reading JOURNEYMAN #3: NOT SO SUPER-ETTAN
JOURNEYMAN #2: IN-VESTRI-ING IN YOUR FUTURE
Being told you are long shot favourites to stay up puts the fear into you. Going into the 2022 season with Vestri it was all hands-on deck, the off-season scouting and trialing every player who would take our calls, trying to find a couple of gems good enough to keep us up. If you missed … Continue reading JOURNEYMAN #2: IN-VESTRI-ING IN YOUR FUTURE
JOURNEY TO THE JOURNEYMAN
“This is not the intro to a Journeyman series, no.This is just a tribute!” 2020 was weird… Forget the pandemic, we’ve all had to endure that and if you’ve made it on here, well done, you’ve fucking smashed it. Around March, on a complete whim, I bought Football Manager 2020. I genuinely have no idea … Continue reading JOURNEY TO THE JOURNEYMAN
