What a run. Great squad building. How about a challenge outside England? Winning the Bundesliga with an East German side? Maybe Dynamo Dresden. You are a really great storyteller
Great one, but ex Bayer Uerdingen is deffo my choice in Germany. Not in the East, but they used to be a powerhouse back in the 80s and now they're playing 5th tier football.
Tom, I'm so happy to see where you are now. I remember subscribing when you were pushing 5k subs and I've enjoyed every video since! I'm loving these rebuild videos!
Yeovil are the same level and were in the championship in 2014. We are the fastest team to drop down 4 divisions in 10 seasons. Can you do a vid about them?
Hey Tom, I would love a video about Swindon Town, they were in the first ever season of the premier League but got relegated. They never made it back to the premier League due to lack of investment and currently have charlie Austin leading the line, it would be a really fun rebuild. I hope you consider this it would be great.
Swindon Town is one of my favorite FM 23 saves this year! It was so incredible climbing up the leagues with them, with Jacob Wakeling being an absolute beast
I've also done this exact rebuild. I did not know anything about the team, their nickname the Iron looked cool enough and they had a cool looking logo so I was sold. I was going to start from Div10 but it was really annoying to deal with amateur players so I switched to D5 where Scunthorpe is in FM23. Good vibes.
Nice idea! I have 2 more for you - maybe you would like to try them? :) 1) bring Palermo or Catania to the Serie A and then win the league. 2) Lechia Zielona Góra is a club which is playing in the Polish 4th tier, but they were in the Polish Cup QF last season. Zielona Góra is the biggest Polish city to never had a team in the Polish Ekstraklasa, and Lubuskie where Zielona Góra also never had a team in the best Polish league. So the goal is to make them play in the Ekstraklasa and maybe to win any trophy.
LITTLE bit of a strecth to say Scunny are 'fighting for survival' when they're currently 2nd haha, but I love Tom so who cares?! Great video as always!
this was a really fun watch! i'm not usually one for football manager videos but seeing as i'm a scunthorpe gal i couldn't help but click. cheers for the good work!
Up the Iron! Love it when a video focuses on my beloved Iron! We are horrible, and have had a horrible run since 2017 or so, but if Yeovil Town wants to say they are the worst i won’t disagree.
If you are thinking of a challenge similar to that one in another league, I have a suggestion. A club named Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata is in the Argentinean League. They have the record of being the oldest Football club of Argentina, formed over 130 years ago. However they have never won a league title, despite their direct city rivals having won it several times, as well as winning a Club World cup title too. Do you feel like transforming Gimnasia into a champion?
You should defo do Hereford. Highest we’ve been is league 1 and dropped down after we disbanded our club after being 1 million pounds in debt and are now a team again.
What a great video Tom, I really enjoyed it. How long did it take you to play through this many years? I struggle to get passed more than just a few years and always end up starting again with another team lol
I started unemployed got the Dover job, 3k wage budget but spending 6.2K 22nd in the south. Now that’s the worst team in England. Second season 10 in we are joint top with the 3k wage budget
Hi tom, love this video. Did you play all game yourself or just simulate and how you manage other thing, such as training, scouting and transfer, just use your staff or doing it all by you?
I promoted with Scunthorpe in my first season after finishing third. Reached the playoff final where my striker equalises in literally the last seconds of the game. went to a penalty shootout where we won 14-13 LOL.
Tonbridge next! We are national league south, and have never been higher then this 6th tier, a club with a great following home and away and a community club.
Try to rebuild the worst team in the National League South/North. I tried to rebuild Farnborough, but I couldn't manage to finish 1. and always lost the playoffs, so i resigned after 5 seasons.
Great video Tom. You know your audience but I would have enjoyed the whole journey even more. Like the Wrexham way which was when I first watched you. I don't understand why you spent all this time to make one video. This could have been a 100 long series. Idave watched them all. Just my tuppence worth 26:50
Tom just did what most people spend a whole year doing for the sake of a 30 minute video 😂 gotta give props for that!
you roasting z?
Glad you enjoyed it!

If you want ultimate challenge, take a Swedish 4th div team to pass champions league group stage.

No they weren't. They were in the 2nd season of the premier league.
Awesome video from a Scunthorpe United fan , used to live next door to the Lincoln city stadium too , happy days. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
@04:34 That loss to Borehamwood is looking a lot like a win away to Newport lol

Well a bit more for their actual survival as a club, I knew it was a bit touch and go for a while!
Survival ? They’re top of the league in the picture and 2nd at the moment 😂

cracking editing on this one Tom, I know very well how long that must have taken you! Well done pal.
Yeah, it was a lot longer than I was anticipating! Thank you!
As someone who lives in Scunthorpe I appreciate this video! Our previous owner messed us up so bad.
And so has your current one
Really enjoyed your story telling. Hope more videos like this as this was a rollercoaster of a ride 👍
That was a great watch mate. see this in my suggestions and bloody enjoyed it 👍
Your keeper during national league / league 2, I was in the same year as him during high school, did not expect to hear his name on here at all
I’m from Hereford and I’m really happy that you made a video on our league!
Love these long rebuilds tom mate! Would love to see more of these in the future
I think more need to be done!
Your videos are really fun to watch. You know your stuff as a Football Manager and as a commentator.
0:05 "and now they're fighting for survival"
*Scunthorpe literally leading the f*cking league*
Up the Iron! Love it when a video focuses on my beloved Iron! We are horrible, and have had a horrible run since 2017 or so, but if Yeovil Town wants to say they are the worst i won’t disagree.
I loved the story and seeing how the team progressed. But I wanted to ask for your help, could you share the tactics you used to get promoted?
one of your better videos tom. would love for you to a german version, italian, spanish etc, maybe a little series?
"fighting for survival in the national League north"
Literally top of the league
great video i really enjoyed watching it . well done .
Great video! Really enjoyable watch.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Tom, this was class. Simple as that ❤
What a great video. Would love to see more of this kind of video!
That was such a good Video, Really entertaining more of the same Pleaseee

Yeah Im very curious about this one as well!
on fm20 i had a newgen called adrian biasoli and he was argentinian. he was a mc/amc exactly the same as yours. he was beautiful
really enjoyed it tom... keep it up
I started unemployed got the Dover job, 3k wage budget but spending 6.2K 22nd in the south. Now that’s the worst team in England. Second season 10 in we are joint top with the 3k wage budget
I did this with Scarborough Athletic and it was my most difficult yet the most rewarding build to date. From the South to Champions League finalist!!!
4:35 Damn, boreham wood looking funny these days ngl
Great video Tom. Love to see videos about Scunny! UTI
I got Kacurri in my save right now in the national league and he is my second best CB with great potential
So many of these names (Koumas, Appiah) all big players on my Chester save as I rose through the leagues using a good old fashioned 442
Great video mate, nice one!
I done that career mode it was so fun but I done it 5 months ago Paul mullin was my club legend
When Scunthorpe came to the PL and facing a relegation battle, all you need is a miracle and you achieved it tremendously
Great video, got me into buying football manager!
'Fighting for survival'
Scunthorpe: *top of the league*
Hi tom, love this video. Did you play all game yourself or just simulate and how you manage other thing, such as training, scouting and transfer, just use your staff or doing it all by you?
Love the video, would love to see the team lift the CL trophy though
damn impressive rebuild this!
Great journey! Very impressing. Hopefully FM24 is more challenging though 😂
I would've loved to see more of the tactics you used
Unbelievable 😂 you look like you’re having fun though that’s the main thing!!
0:38 Dion Semble-Ferris looks like angry Tom
Loving this channel
Dude as a czech when i say kamara my heart dropped just to realize its another kamara (every czech hates Glen Kamara and Rangers)
Haha love it 🍀
Tom love you mate I’ve watched you since 2 k subs and I subscribed
What amazing career! Congratulations!!
This match highlights looks better then your newer videos please use it more often please
Great vid tom please make more of these vids
I promoted with Scunthorpe in my first season after finishing third. Reached the playoff final where my striker equalises in literally the last seconds of the game. went to a penalty shootout where we won 14-13 LOL.
Great video Tom 👍
4:34 That’s a win VS Newport, not a loss to Borehamwood.
I would love to see these videos be longer. More detail
21:31 it's a shame you lost Miguel Almiron
Actually crazy tbf, you make it look so easy
Tonbridge next! We are national league south, and have never been higher then this 6th tier, a club with a great following home and away and a community club.
Beg to differ.. Yeovil also fell like a stone to the VNS from the Champ.
Another amazing video 👍
The only thing that would improve these videos is a screenshot of the tactic you start/end the season with!
Ah yes Hassan Ayari who fielded for Sheffield Wed academy whilst still contracted at Sheffield Utd.
"fighting for survival in the national league north" *shows screenshot of the league table clearly showing they're top of the league*
What countrys do you have loaded for these type of saves? Do you just load England as playable? Get through seasons quicker
What kind of demented super tactics did you develop! And can you pass them to Arne Slot for the coming season?
I took Darlington into Europe! thats a better feat. Lower attendances than Scunthorpe, worse ground. Played in front of 1 man and his dog.
@tomfm Do you and Jack from WTS often have battle of the Lincolnshire clubs debates seeing as you're both from there?
As a Hartlepool fan I can confirm the accuracy of us bottling a Playoff final 😂🤣
22:43 this got me 😂
How long does this take? Do you have to sim any parts of the season?
hi tom, any chance you can put this save online? i would love to play it
Tom, may I recommend that you give South Africa a 1.4 billion dollar TV deal and see how it pans out?👀
Tom can we get a video on how too set up scouting network and what are most important attributes for forwards in lower league saves
Great video thanks
Very impressive! Do your players have really good determination?
24:28 imagine goldbridge reacting to that irl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me scoring in the FA Cup final and losing but still being inducted in the Scunthorpe hall of fame

Hey Tom love your videos!! What about a rebuild of my team bradford city! Keep up the work!
No in club regens that came thru? Any players left from season 1?
As a Portsmouth found who currently has Abu Kamara at the club in real life it annoyed me that you scored against us with him 😂
As a Carlisle fan, losing 3-0 to Scunthorpe isn't all that surprising :-D

Try to rebuild the worst team in the National League South/North. I tried to rebuild Farnborough, but I couldn't manage to finish 1. and always lost the playoffs, so i resigned after 5 seasons.
After losing the FA trophy and the playoff final (with 101 points) in the same season, I lost my mind.
