Welcome to Phoenix Football Manager, episode 16.

We're playing the game, Football Manager from back in the day. Details on that in

a second. But our mission is to overtake Red Bull Leeds. We've taken our place in the championship. We're in the sixth tier, Michael. Not for long, though. We're coming for you. You can listen in your podcast app. If you want to see the gameplay, you can find it on YouTube as well if you want to watch. and to get the save game file for this game,

head to the Squareball.net forward slash FM.

Yeah, it's 2014. We are at the helm of the new Legion United Phoenix Club in the sixth tier of the English game because David Hayes sold the old club to Red Bull. We are now after them. They have Jesse Marsh as manager. We have had to vacate Ellen Road. We're headed up to Headingley, playing under a Superdome,

because Michael forgot to change these settings in the game. So we have an indoor Superdome Stadium in North Leeds. Eddie Gray's the boss, the chairman of the club. We are Arcadia, Brendan Chisholm, which is an anagram of all our five names. We're playing the game. Chris, Dan, Dean, Michael and Rob. But we haven't just spent a penny in the transfer market, Michael.

We've been hoovering up young Italian talent, young, low wages, that kind of thing. That's what you get when you leave me in charge. We've got some lead United stalwartes and old favourites in there as well, some sentimental signings. And this brings us round to our front-of-shirt sponsor, Platinum partner, Levi's solicitors. I believe we now have some mock-ups. Thanks to our front of shirt sponsor, platinum partner, Levi's solicitors.

I believe we now have some mock-ups.

Thanks to our special guest joining us for at least the start of this episode.

Yeah, so Ed Cowburn has hung around.

So we did an episode with Ed last week on the West Stand talking about tattoos.

Ed, you've also been working on a little, you've had a side quest.

Yes.

Because you've been listening

to these episodes.

You famously designed the kits

from which season was it.

I do lose track of the years now.
