    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    It’s the summer of 2034 and we’re now entering our 13th season in charge of Bruno’s Magpies in Gibraltar and our 7th year in charge of the Gibraltar national team. The summer transfer window was defined by a small number of significant transfers. The first was one we already knew about, with...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    cheers mate will be interested to hear how you get on - I feel like winning the Champions League is doable but it's going to take 3 or 4 more seasons at least!

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    This was our 12th season in charge of Magpies and yet only now have we managed to break the attendance record in the Gibraltar league In another first, one of our players was called up to the England national team. When I signed goalkeeper Eddie Booth I was hoping that one day he would commit...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    I was not optimistic ahead of our Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Man City, and rightly so… I don’t really know what you’re supposed to do against players like Haaland and Enderick, who are both earning over £300,000 a week. The second leg also went as expected. And so...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Cheers mate, it's been an interesting one for sure and I now find myself looking out for the Gibraltar national team scores in the international breaks! Should have a bit of time to keep this going over Christmas so there will be a few more updates in the next couple of weeks

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Unfortunately, our best player Franco Dindart will be leaving the club in the summer and there is not much we can do about it - we either sell him for a fee now or let him go for nothing next year. His unhappiness didn’t impact his performances though, as he scored both goals in the first leg...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Since starting the save, we’ve had to play 5 players trained in Gibraltar in all domestic games to adhere to registration rules - that has meant Danny Murphy has been a key player for us and has recently become our all-time top scorer in the league. He joined on a free from Mons Calpe and...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    After the disappointment of only making the Europa League quarter-finals last season, this season we are back in the big time and qualified directly for the Champions League group stage. There weren’t too many changes to our team from last year although we did have a new look left hand side...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    The 2033 summer transfer window started with a sad departure, with Will Andiyapan deciding he did not want to renew his contract after 10 years at the club. He was one of our first signings, one of the first players who switched to Gibraltar nationality seven years ago and was a key player...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    So on the weekend that FM24 is here I am still planning on carrying on with this save for the next few months and will continue to update this thread for anybody that is still invested! It might be naivety, but I still think I can actually get Magpies to a Champions League final at some point...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Even though Chelsea are 3rd in the Premier League and can spend £375,000 a week on just one player, somehow we were favourites in the first leg of the Europa League quarter final. The pressure was ramped up even more with the Chelsea boss John Terry bad-mouthing me before the game - we can...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    It's been two weeks since the last post but I'm still going with the save - don't you hate it when real life gets in the way of FM? - So we’re into February 2033 where we’re hoping to go all the way in the Europa League after finishing 6th in the group stage. The other Gibraltarian team in...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Our 5th game of the Europa League was against Spurs, another one of the favourites to win the competition, where we took an early lead only to quickly concede 3 first-half goals Next up was a narrow victory over Dinamo Zagreb where they missed two penalties - Franco Dindart proved why it was...

    Gibraltar: Taking a Pub Team To The Top With Bruno’s Magpies

    Our first game in the Europa League group stage was against arguably the best team in the competition Chelsea. The starting XI contained only 3 non-regen players, Vitor Roque, Archie Gray and Diogo Prioste. And they put in an outstanding performance. Despite that victory, we’re still only...
