If you feel like you want to introduce yourselves, here's your opportunity.
I'm Dale, a 29 year old FM player since the old Championship Manager games and I'm still absolutely awful at the game. I've been around the scene for over a decade at this point and I'm just too old and stubborn to let my love of forums ride off in to the sunset!
Be prepared to see me start 20 threads on various saves in Africa and Asia that don't last for more than a week or two at a time.

Hey lads, I'm Alfonso, 33 from Santiago, Chile. Been playing FM since the CM era as well as Dale and have been a member of this community since The Dugout days, where I ended up being pretty involved in the community (even in off FM topics) by the end the plug was pulled by Mark at TD.
I'm decent at the game (better than Dale at least), but my passion for it has demeaned in the last few years. FM18 was a downpoint as despite me finding the game enjoyable I haven't been able to crack 500 hours on it (my record was FM12 with over 1500 hours). I still got it installed but my current save really hasn't got me much into it and it's the fourth I tried this year. At this point I'm not even sure if I'll buy FM19 to be honest.
Also I'm a kitmaker, and I find myself to be a pretty good one at it. So if you need any kits for your save, don't hesitate to give me a shout and I'll see if I can cook up something for you.

Hey everyone. I'm Tim, 44 (fuck I'm old) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania now living in the frozen hell of Albany, New York (3 hours north of New York City, 3 hours west of Boston, and 3 hours south of Montreal). I've been playing FM since CM 01/02. Been a passive member of many communities.
For FM19, I'm planning on going journeyman since I've discovered that I don't like being at one club for a long period of time which has resulted in a lot of one to two week saves like Dale. Don't know what countries are going to be part of my journeyman save. Need to see what the league rankings are when FM19 is released in a few weeks.

I went to Albany (albeit just for a few hours) back in 2015. I was on holidays on New York and the WWE had a RAW live event in Albany, so I bought tickets, took a Greyhound and went to the show. I didn't get to know much of it though, as the Bus Terminal is quite close of the Arena.

The bus terminal is, pretty much, right next to the arena. I don't go to many events there. It's hard to get in and out of plus the parking arena the arena is terrible.

Hi all!!
Tom, 33, Swansea, Wales.
Been a passive member of TD and the previous forum, always tell myself I should post more. Enjoy reading about other saves, as it often provides a bit of inspiration for saves of my own. Not a bad FM player, although I tend to be a little stuck in my ways tactically.

Hi guys,
A few of you may remember me from a while back, but for those that don't/a reminder...
I'm Scott, I've been playing FM/CM since 2000/01. I was pretty active for a number of years over on The Dugout under the username forrestgump and later FG. Some of my finest FM memories were housed on the Dugout.
I later helped Dale and Rob set up FM Now, but admittedly my activity (and play time) has been limited. I'm as excited as I've ever been for an FM and it's good to see this place back up and running.
On a personal level, I'm 25, work for a charity and recently bought my first home with my girlfriend in Cheltenham. I'm Cardiff born-and-bred, but moved here for uni and never left.

Hi this is where you have all been hiding.
Been around the block since cm92/93 and played nearly every version.
When the last site went down I didn't really touch fm, it coincided with a house move but I recently picked up fm18 again and enjoying a save with Villa. I will see how it goes and may pick up fm19 if I see it reduced. If I do you will see me posting more often.
Now time to catch up in the your game threads

Hi everyone,
I came over following some of Shrew’s links to Ben’s story. Been playing FM/CM since about 1996 I think. I used to post on Dugout a bit. Loved reading the stories on there, anyone remember Davidbr (RIP)? I’m generally a one save per edition guy, although in recent years with a family I’ve missed the odd edition. Currently doing a club & country save in Sweden. Started 3rd tier, two straight promotions and am about to embark on season 3 in the Allsvenskan.
Anyway hope to follow some good saves on here and maybe post my own if I can make time. Cheers

Hi all. Nice to see that forums haven't completely died! I was quite active on the dugout and the one after but that tailed off a long time ago... Anyway, look to share my saves and see some old faces!

Hi to all of the above.
Forum name here and now is Robson 07. Using that over at SI Forums too. Have appeared in the past on other forums like The Dugout, FM Now (old site) and probably have accounts with FM Base, Sortitoutsi and others I may have forgotten. Taken the form of other names along the way, such as England Away, but my real name is Rob.
I still play FM far too much and definitely old enough to know better. Hooked on the game I guess, have always liked the tactical side and I'm a Man Utd supporter.

Hey all, notice a few names from Twitter and a few forums I've been known to frequent I've been around FM forums for a while...since FM09 maybe? Used to do quite a lot of GFX (kits, logos) as well. Not really "settled" on a forum since TAS closed a few years ago, just kinda loitered here and there, and on Discord! Anyway, I'll pop in and out

Hi everyone. Found this thread so thought I'd use it to say hi. I'm Jonathon, 27 and have playing FM competently for about a decade now (when I was younger I was awful at the game). I was Cheeky Deeky on The Dugout, and JLAspey on twitter and ran my own FM blog for a while.
Looking to get my enjoyment back in the game by actually talking about it with people. Looking for fun and friendship. Oh wait...

I already made a sort of introduction in another thread but I'll do a better one here:
Hi, I'm Blake and I used to be a member of these forums (and The Dugout before that) years ago, but had yet to make a new account after Nick had migrated it to ProBoards. I'm a Rangers fan and lover of football from all the obscure nations around the world. I never stick to a save these days for more than 2-3 seasons because I end up getting bored. My favourite save of all time was a save with Aalesund on FM13 where I got them to regular Champions League Groups Stages. During my off time from these forums, I became an Assistant Researcher and then on to Head Researcher for all the Middle East Nations (excluding UAE, Saudi Arabia) so nowadays I rarely ever have time to play the game itself as I'm always researching, but its fun enough.
I've also gotten back into wrestling during the Coronavirus induced lockdown, I now watch Impact, AEW, NWA and MLW religiously. But mostly, I LOVE deathmatch wrestling. MDK All Fuckin Day.

Hey everyone, I'm Mikey. I've been playing Football Manager since 2007 however, I haven't played the PC version since 2016, I sold my laptop and so I've spent the last few years playing the mobile version but, my eyes must be getting worse because I couldn't play it at all this year, just kept hurting my eyes, so, I've gone and bought a laptop and can finally play the full version again!
I've posted about FM on forums since 2011, I did use the old site (FM NOW) but I couldn't remember my old account.
Outside of FM and forums, I'm 26 years old, live with my partner and our son who is coming up to 6 months! Half a year already, crazy.

Hi everyone!
Ive just stumbled across this place after a few years in the wilderness. Used to post on the old FM now 5 or 6 years ago under the name Gooner (I think it was). Then one day it disappeared. After a turbulent few years personally I was looking around for some Deportivo kits and stumbled across chaodck's kits! Used to love reading saves on here so I will certainly be back and may steal some Depor kits if you dont mind?
Wow genuinely stunned - used to spend so much time on here for a year or so.
