Welcome to Phoenix Football Manager, episode 19 here on the Square Ball.

You can listen to this in your podcast app, but if you want to see the gameplay, have a look at the episode on YouTube where you can see the visuals from in the game. You can also get the save file for this game if you go to the Squareball.net forward slash FM. To tell you what's going on, it is 2014, and we are in charge of the League United Phoenix Club, which is in the sixth tier of the English game, but not for long, Michael Normanson. We'll come to that in a moment. That's because David Hague sold the old Legion United to Red Bull, and we are trying to close them down in the football pyramid. They have Jesse Marsh as their manager, I think, but we'll check him with that with Michael. We have relocated to heading Lee in North Le Leeds away from Ellen Road, playing under a dome because Michael forgot to edit the game settings and somehow put us under a roof. Eddie Gray's the chairman and our boss. We go by the name of Arcadia Brendan Chisholm, which is an anagram of all our names, Chris, Dan, Dean, Michael and Rob. Not a penny spent this season in the transfer market, but we've been hoovering up a lot of Italian kids. A few Legion United sentimental stalwarts and a few others as well. Our platinum partner in this as well is Levi Solicitor, of course. There is a 10% discount on your legal fees on their full range of services. Levi Solicitor.com.com.com. slash the square ball. I'll just go tap on the window of their executive box in the Superdome.

Over the whole suburb. Yeah, Levi's thankfully smoothed it all over for us, which has been good. Where we left it last time, we've wrapped up the title in the Vanorama North League,

and we were getting ready for the FA Trophy Final versus Gateshead, so it won't be in the sixth tier for much longer. Already out. Let's refresh ourselves on the league table. Look at that. So we're absolutely running away with it. Still some games to play there. Michael, you have played four more games in the background since we last spoke, just to get us towards the end of the season and towards the FA Trophy Final. Chris Mack is with us as well here in the studio. So Michael, to you. Chris has dressed like a manager today as well. He's got his Italian bench jacket on. If I'd known we were going to be at Wambly, I would have worn a full suit. But it is good because of all the Italian kids in the squad.

They're going to feel atambly, or do want a full suit.
