You Sent Me Your Funniest Football Manager Moments 

The "Fills the gap in coaching staff" (13:40) is absolute gold in more ways than one.

Currently playing a save with Brentford and have a youth player in the ranks called Brent Ford.

In one of my fm24 saves, I've seen Zidane get sacked by liverpool and replaced with Marek Mintal, who I'm assuming was managing in the unplayable divisions of Germany with the only history prior to hm joining Liverpool In 2029 being the bundesliga 2 3rd top scorer in 08/09

2:05 he was there for a year and 11 days, but close enough

Non - league save as Rugby Town. My goalkeeper was injured and I didnt have aby on the bench. I chose one of my defensive midfielders as a replacement. He was in the best 11 of the week

11:45 for my 2026 World Cup (don’t remember if I have the screenshot still) the final was USA-Costa Rica. Costa Rica won 3-0😂

well I've had Finnish champions league final (2060 something) I was playing with one of them but the other got there by their own...I have to give some credit to FM BS

Tom play Krumovgrad in FM24 plz😢

6:05 Omega Dad every transfer window.

Oh the topic of fun names I had a 198 ability cb come through called Jordan Jordan and he proceeded to be the greatest defender the prem had ever seen before I left and they sold him for 100 mil to juve even tho he was only 26

I had a wonderful regen called Saddam Hussein once

2:22 - Apart from fact, that he was there a YEAR and 11 days, my guess would be demanding something from the board. I once got sacked after similarly short period because I demanded something, I think it was more coaches or so :)

I went to the Bundesliga with Kiel without a loss, won the conference without a loss the next season, won the EL the third year, made it to the QF of the CL in year 4, stayed for over a decade with couple of trophies and I am not even an icon... thats not fair :`(

The £8 spend was the metro ticket they bought

8:42 Made my one and only appearnace on this channel

Reading rebuild when tom???

i had Chevalier, Mamardashvili and Slonina all injured so I had to play 16 year old regen Jack Porter in the fa cup and ucl just days before 16 year old Jack Porter played for arsenal in the efl cup 😭

I once has a South Korean regen called Lee Ki Wong. He was a winger and, yes, his dribbling was 18!

In my most recent save, Mourinho got sacked by England after losing to Austria in the Euro 2032 Round of 16. He took the France job, got them to the 2034 World Cup Final, then lost to Murat Yakin’s England on penalties. He immediately retired.

If you’re doing a part 2 of this, I was doing a AS Monaco career save, and in my first 9 league games, my LB had somehow scored 19 goals. Amar Dedic was cooking for me that season...

Oh Tom, this was a great video! Could really become a regular thing! :D

I'm not a very computery person so if someone could help me with this question it would be very much appreciated. My laptop is about 7 years old now, was bought for the sole reason of playing FM which is does well. I only ever have 1 league running with a large database , with the new FM having all these new things put on I'm worried about it not being able to play. Could anyone with some knowledge of computers let me know if it will with the basic info I've given? . Thankyou

for me fm 2012 is the best game of the franchise it was kinda a transition game from classic fm to modern fm it was right in the middle of classic era and modern era of fm... i can write thousands of words to describe my love to fm 2012...and i want to give a shout out to carlos fierro... he was my favorite player in fm 2012... i signed him every career of mine without exceptions

You should rebuild Somali football with me! Currently making a save where I’m head of a Somalian club and head of the national team.

I once scored a goal with Badiashile in FM21 Mobile from within my own box. Badiashile took the ball down with his chest while defending a corner and whacked the ball in the back of the opposing GK's net. The opposing GK was in his own box, but clearly not paying attention as the ball sailed over him and hit the middle of the back of his net, I believe it was against Amiens or Angers.

Neymar is currently at Celtic Glasgow in my Fm24 save

I'm on FM 2013 right now and Klopp went from Dortmund to Real Madrid for a season and half way through season 2 whilst RM are 1st he went to Gladbach.

3:50 - Horny in Slovak means "from the mountains" or "upper", not what you have thought ;)

Hey tom! im the one who got RP congo world cup winner (11:39). It was something unbealivable, i just cant imagine how they won. It was hilarious when i found that and also their players where so mid. I think that it was the most random moment i ever had on fm. Pd: I found out that congo won world cup at 2028 cause i never pay attention to international football.

Congrats tom you got 4 million views on twitter/X and can't even get 1 mil subs on YT

I had an fm save where Messi became the manager at Villa and made them a top team. Unfortunately for him, I was better and so he was perennially second

Would love to see you do some Retro FM videos with the best version, that being FM12

These funny … FM is only made for pc. Not good for phones and consoles.

Some of these had me in stitches 😂 gutted mine never made the video but hope they made you laugh/baffled you as much as they did me when they happened!

i signed pep as my director of football in 2040

Cant believe my DR Congo one had the perfect partner post to come before it😂

That keepers throw into his goal did make me laugh

Tom look jay was at Sunderland for a year and 10 days

love the content mate but your thumbnails are uncanny to say the least.

Klopp becomes a director of football in mine too

You should do the reddit series like Zealand

tom not having a clue who Sharples is

Spearing lasted a year in the job not 11 days

yo tom i just sold a striker for 180 mil that cost me 30k

Saw the thread and loved it XD (7th)

Saw a familiar profile picture at 10:21 😏

LOL i finaly got under 1 hour

"dennis fears rapin threat"

Should give Real Union a go

The fake laugh is class 😂

Horny originates from Hora that means mountain in Czech/Slovak. Quite a popular name IIRC

4:42 seriously? 😂

Anyone else notice that Everton’s wages are £433 thousand a Month!

04:35 Omg! Wtf :D

hey that's me!

Thank you

Nice

Nice ❤❤❤

First

Suiiii

I had a few great stories. In a FIFA Manager I once was 4-1 up v Hoffenheim with Frankfurt in minute 85. I lost the game 4-5. My biggest FMming. Later I looked at the screenshot I did again. Apparently Kevin Trapp got injured but due to some bug they didn't ask me to put a new goalkeeper in. In 10 years of FIFA Manager I never had this bug again. Another one was Anthony Martial scoring 17 in the first 7 Prem games and then not getting top scorer. In FM name generation came up with the wildest thing imaginable. A regen called Israel. Nationality: Palestine. In a long term save (I play with knowing peoples CA and PA) I just finished top 4 with Alaves for the first time. Suddenly 3 days before deadline day I see a Colombian without a club. 199 CA and 200 PA. Better than Messi. And somehow he was interested. I didn't have enough money to pay him 50 mil a year. Never have I been teased this much. He went to Spurs. I won 7 Cls with Alaves anyways XD I assume he only played in UAE and for Celtic and improved without improving his global reputation too much. Salzburg was also interested (tbf they won the CL multiple times). Later that save (I calendar sim so its like 2185) Copenhagen wins to CLs and 150 league titles. 1 v Stuttgart. 1 v Marseille. I was the Stuttgart manager. We luckily won the CL 2 seasons later. But it gets worse. I was also the Marseille manager. I lost both CL finals to a Danish club. Btw like 10 smaller leagues have such a dominant team so the CL is super hard. I joined Aston Villa and won the CL in season 1 and then got GROUPED in season 2. I still haven't won a CL with a French team. Back in FIFA Manager I had a Wimbledon save. We finally got to the Prem and its like 2028. We finished second by that point behind an INSANE Manchester United. Its an away game. 1-1 at Half time. United got 2 red cards shortly before the break. And in an insane game I have not been able to repeat we won 1-10. Biggest loss for United. They only conceeded 36 the entire season. Ah and their manager was ALEX FERGUSON who retired after the season probably aged like 90. EDIT: I also like to edit Football Manager databases. And created an annual Copa America managing the USMNT. We somehow beat Brazil 4-0 in the semi final just to get Jamaica in the final. Jamaica had 1 international trophy after that final and I was dying inside.

2:10 11 Days? He was from 2033 to 2034 Tom!!! 4:46 I would rage and smash my Computer 😂

3:38 Just to clarify, as much as it sounds like a funny name, it would be actually quite a normal name in slovakia and one you could also translate, so in eglish his name would basically mean upper.

my fm24 mobile never looks that clean 8:01

Great vid as usual Tom! I'm thinking of buying an FMRTE licence so I can play FM24 in 24/25 using their mods, as I don't think FM25 will be that good. I wanted to ask is the FMRTE database the one you used in your 24/25 rebuilds such as the Newcastle and Ipswich ones? I wanna make sure it will work perfectly with my transfer database aswell.❤

Sean dyche would do terribly in serie A actually. Nearly every team plays with 3 in midfield.

My best was Klopp leaves Liverpool and immediately becomes the United manager and then gets them relegated in 2026

Tbh im surprised fm doesnt take more advantage of funny regen names….. you should see how often ea trolls with hilarious regen names.

Spearing one would have been done via in game editor. No chance that happens in real game unless he was only caretaker.

10:48 manager movement is fun to pay attention to but it’s pretty slow so it can be boring. on one of my long time save (>10 years) I just resigned to follow this

That was pretty damn funny! More please!
