The Office Meets Football Manager

The Office Meets Football Manager

Over on Twitter, @NextGoalWinBlog, we recently posted up a thread of The Office (UK) crossover with Football Manager. Suprisingly, the Brent-isms work pretty well in the context of the management sim game, and so we have decided to to make a post of some of the best tweets from our recent thread.

Is it slightly self-glorifying to write a blog post about a recent Twitter thread we posted? Yes, probably.

Am I short on time and ideas for a post this week? Yes, definitely.

Feel free to head on over to Twitter to see the thread in full.

Enjoy!


Job Security

When you arrive at your new club with a hefty transfer budget available to spend, but want to keep your squad morale high in the first team meeting.


Tactical Genius

Starting your 10th season in charge of a club still using the same 4-2-3-1 wide gegenpress tactic that secured a 10th place finish the past 3 seasons.


Time To Go

Transfer listing your 34 year old captain, and asking him to search for a club, so you can make way for the 17 year old wonderkid you signed from Fluminense.


Injuries

Your backup CDM will be out for 4 months with a broken leg.

“Talk to player about injury”


The Real Quiz

Sure, you got relegated from League 1 and barely won a league game all season, but you won the Leasing.com trophy!

The day at Wembley, the totally not-meaningless silverware, I guess you could say that’s a decent season… right?
