Read the excellent Set Pieces Moneyball series about Football Manager? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN’T? READ IT NOW.

….done? Good. Anyway, the reason why we made you read that all is that the author of that piece Alex Stewart came aboard the podcast to talk about his save. Sharing his wisdom about how to make your tactics super effective, how to be more spend thrift than my namesake on Budget Day and sitting awkwardly while Ed fanboyed all over him, he was a top guest and a great listen.

Which is why you should listen to the episode right now. It’s available on Soundcloud below and on iTunes here. And if you do succeed at Moneyball in your own FM career, make sure you give Brad Pitt a call because it is almost certainly Oscar winning material.
