Just how close is Football Manager the game to being a Football manager in real-life?

Comedian, podcaster, and self-proclaimed “virtual touchline legend” Jamie Hutchinson joins Craig and Amy for a brilliantly chaotic episode of Sacked in the Morning. From getting sacked in both real life and Football Manager to a virtual divorce in Portugal, Jamie’s tales are as outrageous as they are hilarious. He also reveals how he turned Owen Garvan into a Ballon d’Or winner, why he fined Alan Shearer into retirement, and what it’s like managing Atalanta with a Dubai hedge fund breathing down your neck.
