I think that most successful clubs recruit a manager to fit their style and the squad that has been assembled. Each appointment being a reaction to the last is what badly run clubs do.

For our next manager can we go for someone who prioritises attacking, entertaining football but who can also organise a decent defence *and* has a good set pieces coach he can bring with him?
I'd also like a new car, Santa.

I suppose the silver lining to #FM26 being so incredibly underwhelming and unfinished is that it's freed me up to play #RogueTrader.

The expression about glass houses and stones feels very relevant right now.

Ireland made the next round of World Cup qualifying after a hat trick and game winning goal by a player named Troy Parrott so the zoo named their parrot Troy Parrot
Watch: Dublin Zoo names parrot Troy after hat-trick hero
Dublin Zoo has decided to name one of its parrots Troy in honour of Ireland's hat-trick hero in Budapest's Puskás Aréna.

Going back to Rogue Trader after a long break, during which I read that the devs have tried to balance a lot of the more OP strategies and character builds. Glad to see this has not broken or even nerfed my Cassia/Argenta Turn 1 win tactic :D

Watching the new Fantastic 4 movie and I am liking this version of Susan Storm. To the casual observer, Ben seems like he'd be the heavy hitter and the protector in the team. But nah, Ben's the heart... *Sue* is the scary one.

I for one am looking forward to seeing how Lucy, Coop, and Maximus fare against such cunning traps as "paint cans on a rope" and "electrified door knobs" in #FalloutSeason2

For years - decades! - Football Manager has been my go-to whenever I'm at home and at a loose end. I'd often leave it open in the background so if I had even 10-15 minutes free I could just hop on, play a bit.
#FM26 has stopped that. I've given it nearly 100 hours but it's just not fun to play.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Putting away the Halloween decs, and we have a box that's just skeleton parts - skulls, bones, etc. My wife tells me that I am not allowed to call this 'the bone box'.

Ok, this is an impressive change list for a patch since last Thursday
On the other hand, it begs the question how these simple fixes for obvious bugs were not identified during the previous 2-5 years of build
Anyway, is it worth switching to the public beta? #fm26
