*I literally just got FM14 last night, so this will be my first attempt at the game with all the ups and downs that a rookie boss encounters that will surely follow*

L.F.C. = Liverpool. Fan?! Club.
Rumours circling today have hinted that a life-long Liverpool fan with no previous managing experience will be thrust into the position by the clubs board. Already Twitter and Facebook are alight with more questions than answers, with many saying that this is nothing but a publicity stunt to garner more attention from around the world after Brenden Rodgers was unceremoniously sacked after failing to get the Reds into Europe.

FREDERIK JOSEF REVEALED
In what was seen as a comical twist in keeping with stereotypical views of Liverpudlians everywhere, a life-long Liverpool fan was indeed unveiled as the new 'gaffer' at Anfield.
However, unlike the unknown fanatic the public worried was to be unveiled, it was a former England international who walked through the doors of the press conference this morning.
Frederik Josef, will be known to most people for his 44 caps and 5 goals for England, the most important of which being a beautifully struck free-kick past an outstretched Jorg Stiel at Euro 2004, in Englands 4-0 win over Switzerland.
A playing career which saw Josef being one of the few English internationals to play regularly abroad including Auxerre, Shanghai Shenhua and most recently Swieqi, Malta - was cut short through injury after a crunching challenge from Mario Ballotelli in what was meant to be a friendly game.
Frederik Josef moved to China, and then on to Malta earning his coaching badges while helping out clubs on the pitch and on the training ground before as he put it, his "Dream Came True".
A further press conference has been scheduled for a few days time to allow the new manager the time to evaluate his staff, players and new surroundings before the big questions are asked.
