I’m here in FM24, after my last save across the British Isle’s in FM22.

In order to get used to the step from FM22 to FM24, I’m doing a quick beta save before starting my main save. For this I’m managing my home town of Barnsley, also know as the reds or tykes. We will be playing at Oakwell, built in 1887 having a capacity of 23,287. The club that has the most seasons spent in the second tier of English football with 75 since the club was founded 136 years ago.
With a long history like every club there is highs a lows. FA Cup winners in 1912, shunned for Arsenal for the final top flight position in the 1919 – 20 season, seeing players such as Danny Blanchflower and Sir Matt Busby play for the team in the post war period. Earning promotion to the Premier League in the 96 – 97 season, to the mixed fortunes of the 21st century with relegations, cup runs upsetting Liverpool and Chelsea and Football League Trophy victory.
In recent years the club has developed the status of a yo-yo club, going from the Championship to League One. However, in all of this the club managed to get to the Championship play-offs in the 20 – 21 season, only to be relegated next year in a disastrous season. The following season they would almost make an immediate return to the championship, falling at the last step against Sheffield Wednesday with a last kick goal.
We take over the club following the heartbreak of last season being so close yet so far, looking to return the club to the second tier. First things first, this will be my world as the game puts it, something I have wanted in FM for a while.
We hope to take the club back to the championship in quick fashion, with this being the first aim of this save.
