Players can adopt a ‘Journeyman’ approach, jumping from job to job in different nations or they could look to emulate the career path of a managerial icon such as Sir Alex Ferguson. These different ways to…

In today’s Dictate The Podcast we wanted to try something different and do a quiz. The reason behind this, many people are probably fed up with being stuck in doors, not being able to see their family and friends.

Plenty of us love Football Manager. With the increase in numbers from the free week during the current situation there will probably be plenty more that get the addiction.

Some of us fight from the non-leagues up, others go straight to the top. Some wheel…
