4 points off finishing above Spurs, must have been hell watching that unfold or were you too busy clinging on for dear life?
That’s still a bloody good effort to get Chester into the EPL, let alone staying up.

Securing survival against local rivals Stoke could lead to them naming a stand after you.
So just taken over Arsenal after a brief season at Bayen04. My god this club finaces are rubbish. The u23 an u19 are terrible. I can only recuperate 30% of transfer sales. Looks like its going to be a intresting save.
I kind of fancy an “in the future game”, go on holiday for a few hours and then become Arsenal’s savior when it’s all gone to shit. Or even better, go back to when Arteta took over and see if I can do better than him.
Back in the day taking over Arsenal got a bit predictable. Sign a defensive midfielder. Win the league.
Out of interest. How good is Arsenal in latest FM’s? Sports Interactive were always quite good to Arsenal’s stats even when we won nothing. Fabregas & RvP and then later Ozil and Sanchez had elite stats.
Some of our players were surprisingly average in FM24. Saliba’s never been great, Gabriel is okay, Rice is bang average. I had to go into to the editor to make Nwaneri and Miles good enough to play for the first team. Even Raya is nowhere near golden glove material.
But you’re right, it’s never been too difficult to win the title with Arsenal over the last 20 years of FM. Usually you only need a couple of shrewd signings (the aforementioned DM always being the first purchase) so it’s a surprise that when the real team got back to title races the FM version didn’t bring much of an improvement.
