The idea that SAF only had an Adaptability score of 12 is sheer madness. I think that's probably one of the things that will have hindered him in game as the Sim Alex prob didn't change it up much when he was losing, leading to his sackings. IRL SAF always rose to new challenges to return to the top spot. FM did him a little dirty there.

[@TomFM]

Perhaps it's more to reflect he only managed a few clubs in England and Scotland (and I guess partly because ordinarily he's not a manager in the game, so his attributes aren't looked at, I assume they're just carried over from the last time he was a manager in the game) but I agree, a bit low!

[@ImtheHitcher]

Adaptability only relates to the ability of an individual to adapt to moving abroad in FM, so it's fair

[@dmore]

@@ImtheHitcher SAF dominated in his home country, winning multiple league and domestic trophies plus European trophies, then moved to another country and dominated that even more, winning even more league & domestic trophies, plus Europe. So 12 is still way low given the evidence.

[@ImtheHitcher]

@@dmore He managed his whole life in the United Kingdom, where people speak English. 12 is more than generous

[@blackferdinand2260]

@@ImtheHitcher they don’t speak English in Scotland

[@Josh-hm8yk]

Got to see one with Neil Warnock, starting in non league could be very interesting

[@TomFM]

He's a legend, it's got to be done!

[@tylermoon1781]

@@TomFM he should start at scarborough

[@arisesirgareth]

Brian Clough next!

[@Mooniscool1997]

YOU REDS!

[@RealgryzaQ]

I like those simulations do Jose moirinho next

[@Pantalaimon91]

So the next step is obviously Wenger right? The rivalry between the two was legendary.

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

Sir Alex at Bournemouth would of been a madness!

[@Trav12ss]

please do arsene wenger next!

[@darthvulture]

great idea, would love to see likes of brian clough , bob paisley, shankly, beckenbauer and so on

[@Mister-Mayor]

I wonder if there are database for 1980s football or older, so we can play becks as a player

[@kwnana6057]

@@Mister-Mayor there’s one that starts in 1990 but I don’t know if there are any earlier ones

[@TomFM]

Had some issues rendering this video in 4K so unfortunately it's 1080p max today, sorry to those of you who normally watch in 4K, hope you still enjoyed the video! Who should we replay next?

[@jimmyboy86]

BRIAN CLOUGH

[@jimmyboy86]

PLS

[@theliverpoolgroove8301]

Shankly, Paisley, Jock Stein and Clough would all be brilliant ones to do

[@bababababababa6124]

0:41 yep definitely looks 31 😂

[@RazorChampion99]

New subscriber here. I've been binging Football Manager videos a lot lately and I love your content. .....Subbed for the content. Stayed for the Count Dankula "foreshadowing" clip.

[@christianwiedmann3057]

Could u replay more players? Like Miroslav Klose for example?

[@kieronhodgkinson2619]

If you are continuing these videos I'd love to see Sir Bobby Robson beginning with Fulham again and see where he goes from there and see if he can do one better than real life and win a prem title or win a world cup

[@TomFM]

A lot of people asking for him, I think it needs to be done!

[@kieronhodgkinson2619]

@@TomFM I think the only problem would be choosing where he starts will it be fulham where he was sacked very quickly or Ipswich where he was given a fair shot to start his career properly

[@christianwiedmann3057]

Please Jupp Heynckes next!

[@stuartarmstrong8147]

I LITERALLY just watched a Count dankula mad lads before watching this, and was so jarred when he appeared 😂 good stuff mate, thanks!

[@alexpieters2345]

Great video ! Would love to see you recreating Louis van Gaal, he is the best coach ever for us .

[@ericradecker2598]

I would love an experiment where you build a league pyramid combining Scotland, Ireland, N. Ireland, and Wales. Then give them a tv deal worth 2b for a 20 team top flight and see if it can rival the Prem

[@jdeusl]

Has to be Bobby Robson! What a legend!

[@TheChees1996]

Sir Alex was not the tactician, that was his right hand man job, sir Alex was the guy that made decisions.

[@MLong87]

I was going to suggest Warnock, but see that was already done. Ian Holloway or Harry Redknapp would be an interesting one though.

[@Nigel4]

You should have started him at East Stirling

[@gohome7336]

i think it might have been better if his reputation was reduced from the 4.5 stars he started with? that way he would have had to spend more time in scotland and work his way up like he did irl! i love these types of video though :D

[@JefferyGaz123]

Would be nice to see Sam Allardyce.

[@spendover]

He was so lucky which people seem to forget… after spending loads of money he was about to get sacked in 1990, only then to fortunately win the fa cup that year. Then came the class of 92 which once again saved his job

[@spiddo2.2.36]

i would love to see a video where you put a hole first division of a european nation in the non league of england and than sim like 50-100 years (if you do this idea pls do romania i would love to see how they would be doing)

[@seancos5741]

Do more of these they are so good please

[@zflo5044]

Ottmar Hitzfeld next please :D

[@casteri]

A completely new definition to "Lads, it's Tottenham "

[@SenorPiggeh]

Did not expect to see Count Dankula!

[@mynexia9463]

Bill Shankley would be a fantastic one, but I have no idea if it can be done

[@dtaafe2857]

Is it possible to do this for retired players? Be interesting to see how Maradona, or Cruyff or Baggio would fare.

[@Mr_HowTo]

They are dead btw

[@cliffrusso1159]

Bruce Arena or Brian Smetzer. Be interesting how they would do in Europe as really good managers for really good MLS clubs.

[@andrewtait5710]

how did you manage to bring him out of retirement? I have the in game editor and want to try something similar but wont let me edit it

[@tt99football56]

Hey just wondering how do FM creators on here create the video thumbnails?

[@praisebetosalahynwa4966]

Can someone tell me where to view a clubs most started 11 for a current season? I can't find it anywhere but always see it in people's videos

[@PorterStatsTheSecond]

5:13 that’s sounded like “aren’t” 😂

[@SuperJNG18]

Idea: simulate the last World Cup, only each country is represented by their best local team.

[@matthewrobinson5793]

Anyone else spot Southampton going from UECL->UEL->UCL->UCL in consecutive seasons without finishing high enough in the league meaning they one the UECL the UEL and the UCL in back to back to back seasons 🤯 just thought it was mental for a team to do that let alone Southampton

[@anthony6400]

Tomfm. I would like to see you do a Jack Charlton. LEGEND

[@DanFraser17]

Think you shouldve given him at least 15 for tactical knowledge but a great concept none the less

[@TomFM]

I just let the game assign him his attributes, but perhaps I'll edit them a bit in future!

[@thegoat1817]

best football manager KZbinr hands down

[@Psycherapy]

Tom, how to get the menus of FM23 like your's?

[@Hugo_Hq]

Just an observation Tom. Sir Alex didn't play the 4231. It was more a 4411 or a 442. Great video though. Do Johann Cruyff next. Cheers

[@mynameyeff6093]

Gottta do Wenger at some point too

[@foorza8977]

Should make one with Zlatan. See how he would do in management. Start in hammarby if, zlatan is currently partner of hammarby.

[@xenon8342]

"Wins the odd league cup" - Litterally won it 3 years on the bounce

[@idiakosesunday3806]

I see TomFM content. I upvote

[@DGilbert92]

Sir Bobby could be a fun one

[@ryancassidy7224]

"Sir" Bob Paisley, not enough respect on this man's name, 3 European Cups on his tenure is just phenomenal, more the Fergie got.

[@butbufaratethemirror]

Brian Clough, Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly

[@gojiplusone]

Forget winning UEL with a Championship team. SAF is so good he won the league with Spurs. Fraudiola could never.

[@stewartstevenson2859]

How long does it usually take to simulate these?

[@antonbjergmose4033]

Bring back Bobby Robson, maybe one video as a player, and then one as a Manager. Could be amazing, i would definetly watch them both, giant legend in the football industry

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

Count dankular confused me 😅 as I watch both your channels I was like wtf 😅

[@Mare172]

Do Jose Murinho next

[@kikomussolini]

KEANO! There's only one KEANO! next manager Roy Keane, personally I think he deserved more chances.

[@scpjack7856]

I popped for the unexpected Count Dankula.

[@thekidbilly1886]

Now you have to do wenger

[@tomberen6385]

You can't forget that in his prime SAF had the best generation of youngsters in Man UTD which stay loyal to the club and he worked there for 27 years. IMO you should start his career in Man UTD and then check the results. Arsene Wenger must be next one

[@TomJE0]

Do it with Kevin De Bruyne and start him from his first club Gent

[@GajendranSudharson]

I see a trend in your videos. A lot of times tottenham pops up as a place where the top talent goes. Even in my save game, city sort of died off, but spurs are signing players like gavi, pedri, that young rennes midfielder ducre?

[@sdicker1982]

Absolutely love this one 😂 put Neil warnock at Real Madrid

[@miguelaraujo7061]

Do Felipão next, the guy Who wom a WC and lost 7-1 tô Germany

[@adhalbetancur9948]

Video idea! Putting the top Portuguese clubs into La Liga.

[@nicolasnikkhah4073]

How do you make these videos?

[@PureBladezz]

Any chance you can link your skin mate?

[@ashharanis2551]

Do Jose at Barca as he was gonna be there if cryuff didn't said no

[@JayceGreen-iw4tk]

it's funny how totenham wins only in virtual simulations 😃😃 also imagine west ham winning the conference league irl while been relegated... could happen

[@antoniogenovese3195]

Ancelotti should be the next one!

[@ThreeUnderscores]

Nice dankula clip

[@Nekensuu]

Wenger next for sure

[@remf1]

How about a Pep and Mourinho Career-Resim?

[@hagen4964]

Do Jogi Löw next!!

[@ab_ftbl]

The voicecrack at 1:23

[@scaredhitman0863]

In one of my seasons, I had West Ham get relegated but they won the Europa League. So they were a Championship team in the Champions league😂

[@FootballsGreatest]

what you should do is to put him on the respective roles that he had as he was in real life

[@mynamehereyo]

Do kloppy’scarrer next

[@olalennstrom8656]

Sven Göran Eriksson. Can he have a FM-type career in FM just like he did in real life?

[@neilproctor5163]

Terry Venables? Or Harry Redknapp?

[@PaddyWilbury]

How about the World Cup with only uncapped players? Just a thought.

[@kevin48269]

anybody notice southampton qualified for UCL? 🤯 8:23

[@jakovgrbesa6400]

Brighton 16th place And next season playing uecl.

[@kenlemonspankerfromutah9640]

Neil Warnock and I’ll never stop commenting for the GOAT.

[@renatomata2441]

Gotta do Arsene Wenger next

[@calebj9079]

Ancelotti is a must

[@kaimackenzie1771]

If you've done Sir Alex, its only right to do the real best manager OAT, Bill Shankly

[@rvbxn04]

Rinus Michels if possible

[@georgehounsell1200]

Arsène Wenger. Should have won more silverware with Arsenal but wouldn't adapt his ways. Bobby Robson. Brian Clough. Martin O'Neil & Harry Redknapp are just a few who come to mind for me

[@tylermcclelland9421]

Arsene Wenger should be one of the upcoming videos

[@TLM-ew8hr]

Simeone next ❤

[@ChrisOlive96]

Another manager to do is Guus hiddink, see if he ends up at obscure jobs like he has done irl

[@vicsidrow7744]

1 PL with Spurs > 13 PL with Man United

[@Irvinedhino]

sad he left saint mirren at least we were in a video for a minute

[@mty8103]

Should have just put him at Man Utd and trapped him there to see if he done just as good or better

[@anonymoose4161]

Please do Sean dyche

[@Alex-tj8nx]

Do one for Jose Mourinho

[@mijo]

Do Arsene Wenger next

Well I wish Bayern had Ferguson, maybe that way we could avoid the disaster we had with Tuchel against City.

Sir Bobby.
