CM4 was the first year they added a 2D match engine and they underestimated how much work that would take and it was delayed until March 2003 and was still the biggest selling PC game of the year.

That wouldn't make financial sense. FM24 sold over 12 million copies. FM25 will be impacted by the delay, but they'd still sell a lot of copies of a delayed FM25. For example CM4 was delayed until March 2003 and was still the biggest selling PC game of the year.

Not 8 weeks of play... you'd still have from March 2025 to November 2025... circa 7 or 8 months of play

Why is that confusing @Paul Chuckle?

The club was already broken when they completed the takeover.

If Martin did go & Saints didn't have a permanent replacement lined up straight away, I'd guess Lallana as a caretaker might be the initial step. Lallana supported Brighton's Andrew Crofts when Potter left for Chelsea & Lallana helped coach England Under 21s recently.

NFL lacks the joy of promotion and the potential peril of relegation, that isn't a good thing.

If you would rather not be in the PL for hope reasons, what would the hope be in the Championship?

Not marking any player on the edge of the box at set pieces is a ridiculous tactical choice. It was a disaster waiting to happen throughout the game.

It might seem bad but... only 2 points from 15th place with 34 games to play! Lose to Ipswich at home next week and it is time to worry.

Game now has a release date in late November. More information about FM25 will be revealed in late September.

You are asking if I base my views on my own views. That makes no sense.

Sulemana this summer is still younger than Mane was when Mane joined Saints. Many wrote Mane off early on and yet he was older at that point than Sulemana is now! It isn't just pace, Sulemana also has the ability to beat players at ease. The stats back that up. Consistency and the final ball let him down, but to write him off as purely pace doesn't hold up. Also if he was as poor a player as many make out, it wouldn't be a team like Ajax signing him.

Bella-Kotchap had a long term injury at PSV, that is why he didn't play much.

I'd trust Alfie House vs a Sun article by Alan Nixon... https://x.com/AlfieHouseEcho/status/1829926175923155112

I doubt it. He doesn't improve any other PL team. Only the relegated teams in the Championship with parachute payments could afford him. £10m to £15m probably.

On the plus side... only 1 point from safety! Tyler Dibling and Mateus Fernandes need to start vs Man Utd. They offer some attacking impetus we lack with Smallbone and Aribo. 433 please Russell!

New signing 17 year old Baylee Dipepa already has a good amount of League One experience

Four more Saints signings just announced... https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/academy-seal-four-deadline-day-signings?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=acad-deadline-day-signings&utm_term=news&utm_content=link

The game ratings are based on people watching him in real life and giving their view on his real life ability. So it is relevant as people like to hear others opinions on the quality of players Southampton sign from people that regularly watch them play.

@egg @Paul Chuckle Why that emoji? You might not care, but others might.

I can't find any journalists that have mentioned one.
