Make sure you check out part 2, where we discuss the new features announced for FM24 ahead of the imminent release of the beta.

Yes, once again we've recorded an episode that's just too long to upload in one go, so we've split it into two parts.

In part two (this one), Woodward continues his French adventure, and updates us on everybody's favourite very realistic Editor save.
