The Squareball podcast.

Hello there.

Welcome to episode 11 of Phoenix Football Manager, which will find in your podcast app if you

would like to listen to three men playing a computer game. But if we would like to watch the gameplay, you can watch the episode on YouTube as well. And if you want to get the save file for this game and try it out yourself, you will find it at the Squareball.com. It's 2014 in this game. We are going after Red Bull leads because David Hague sold the original Leeds United to Red Bull. They've rebranded the club, obviously, and they've taken over our spot in this game. We are going after Red Bull Leads because David Hague sold the original

League United to Red Bull.

They've rebranded the club, obviously,

and they've taken over our spot in the championship with Jesse Marsh at the helm.

So we are looking after the Phoenix Club.

It's in our hands starting in the Conference North,

which is Tier 6 of the English game.

We now play at Headingley in North Leeds.

Turns out, Michael, because of how you set the game up,

we're in a Superdome. It does seem we're inside, yeah. Yeah, we're in an indoor stadium, so it's the Headingley Superdome that we now play at. The chairman is Eddie Gray. He's our boss. The five of us who do this podcast are unified within the name of our manager, Arcadia, Brendan Chisholm, which is an ofagram of Chris, Dan, Dean, Michael and Rob, an English coach with lots of language experience, lots of in-game experience. Are we in our 70s, did we decide? Yeah, we wanted to, well, combined ages, I suppose. We couldn't quite manage that. It's the age of our wisdom. that's the thing the age of our wisdom so we did start off with half a million quid in the bank

but a completely

empty squad

our squad

is now made

up of cheap Italian children because Michael thinks that's the way to go. And an Austrian named Fuhrer and the talismanic Andy Gray and our front of shirt sponsor is Levi's Listers, who will offer you a 10% discount on your legal fees on their full range of services at Levi's listeners.com.com.com.

that we've probably given Levi's listeners, who will offer you a 10% discount on your legal fees on their full range of services at levislister.com.com.com. at UK, forward slash the square ball. We've probably given Levi's, like, the best exec box in the Superdome. Yes. I'm just starting this by looking at our transfers, because you remind him there, half a million quid we had to spend. How much have we spent? Zero pounds. Just all the freebies. Great stuff. Well, despite the sadness of sending Camar Roof back to his parent club West Brom because an injury curtailed his loan, and obviously Michael didn't want to pay the medical bills, we are undeterred because we're top of the league, heading for Wembley after an F.A Cup victory in the previous episode, wasn't it? We put him in a taxi to Jimmy's, with his injuries. We have no, we don't have the money for this.
