E129: You don't always get to win at Football Manager [Live Episode]

Description
Unbeaten streaks are there to be broken. Small teams exist to cause you to let your guard down, trip you up. Sometimes the big names fall. Sometimes, you don't always get to win. That's what it feels a little like this week as we move into January. We arrived there in last week's episode, the new year bringing renewed hope and optimism. Shane's got himself a league cup semi-final against Leicester with the Foxes - Ken's former club - having dumped Liverpool out at the quarter-final stages. Man United are top of the Champions League table with six wins from six, Liverpool nipping at their heels. In the Premier League though, it's quite the reverse. With time ticking on the United board's request to improve the club atmosphere, is there anything that can stop the rot? Can a win over former club Wolves save Shane's job at Old Trafford or is the writing on the wall?  In the throws of an All-Ireland week, we're live in the studio for a 60-minute Football Manager session to figure out what's been going wrong and what's needed to turn around the Premier League save before it's dead in the water. Out of tactics, out of budget, out of time, but then again, this is Football Manager. Sure, you don't always get to win, but sometimes - just sometimes - dreams can come true...
