5 Star Potential | A Football Manager Podcast

This week we thought we'd try something a little different, as we were reluctant to pull ourselves away from the FM21 Beta for obvious reasons, we decided to carry on playing whilst we recorded the pod so you get to hear our reactions to the events of our saves as they happened!
