Ep33: Pre-Season Planning

Welcome to the Technical Area, your weekly FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.

This week, we're looking at pre-season. Pre-Season is, for most of us, where our save begins, and as each season comes and the squad/challenges evolve and change, the basis for any success is based on the work done on the training pitch. Any building, empire, dynasty is built upon a foundation, where hard-work is a prominent principle and pre-season gives every manager and club the chance to put the hard yards in in a manner in which they can control. While presets are available and Assistants can take control, how can we influence pre-season to give us the underlying success we need for the season ahead?

As Lockdown restrictions in Ireland ease and Summer resumes, my time to record the podcast will be curbed. Episodes may appear irregularly and be for shorter sessions, but my commitment to the podcast will continue, and your patience and support over the past number of months has been greatly appreciated and will be going forward over the Summer period
