FM15 : Beating Brian : There’s A New Kid in Town
As those that have read the first couple of parts will know, I am a disciple of Brian Clough. For me, he was the greatest manager England never had – he knew how to create winning teams and provide a decent interview. I’m trying to overhaul his trophy total between 1971-1981, if you want to know […]

FM15 : Beating Brian : Chasing the Championship
As I said last week, I am a disciple of Brian Clough. I know many others have probably achieved more in management, but for me he was, in his own words, “in the top one.” When I decided what save to embark upon for the beginning of The Higher Tempo Press it could only be […]

Books : "Football Betting Tips & Systems: A Simple 6 Step Strategy"
I’ve always been a frustrated gambler, looking for that system that means I can beat the bookies and have that extra bit of cash in my back pocket. Actually no, why am I playing it down? Throughout my adult life I have dreamed of being a professional gambler, making enough each month not to worry […]
FM15 Beating Brian : Searching the Stats
“Searching the Stats” was originally posted on the excellent Alex Stewart’s website Put Niels in Goal – you can view the original here. I’ve decided to re-use it here to give those of you that hope to follow “Beating Brian” some context as to my recruitment methods. So, here it is.
Classic Championship Manager: Beyond Your Wildest Reims…
Away from all the drama, corruption and controversy surrounding football these days, football management games are, ironically, the best escape. I say ironically because with every new version released in glossy shrink wrap, the games converge more towards reality than ever before. For some, Football Manager has become saturated with complexity and turned gamers off. […]
Classic Championship Manager : I’d love it if you were Newcastle….
Welcome to what will hopefully become a regular feature here at The Higher Tempo Press as I take look back through the evolution of Championship Manager. Of course, nowadays we know the game as Football Manager, but back in the 90s the days of the 3D pitch and deciding where to send your scouts was […]
#FM15 : Beating Brian : Will they one day argue who was better, Clough or Darwen?
Brian Clough is one of my favourite managers ever. Not so much because of what he won, or the teams he put together, but more because of the man himself. I know Bob Paisley was probably a better manager. I know that Ferguson hammers him on trophies won. Hell, even Bobby Gould won the FA […]
