RB Liverpool

RB Liverpool is Red Bull's latest franchise in the football world, with the sale of Tranmere Rovers to the energy drink giant finalized in recent days. Following the recent successes of Liverpool F.C. and the turnaround at Everton after the shock appointment of Carlo Ancelotti, Red Bull sought to get in on the ground floor of Europe's next football powerhouse city, Liverpool. With the relative size and value of Liverpool and Everton, they began searching for options lower down the pyramid, eventually settling for the Liverpool-adjacent Tranmere Rovers F.C., located in Birkenhead, Merseyside, right across the River Mersey from Liverpool. Founded in 1884, Tranmere Rovers boasts a proud history somewhat lacking in silverware, as they've struggled to reach the heights of their neighboring rivals. Nevertheless, the club has a passionate fanbase who've been absolutely devastated by the news of the acquisition. RB Liverpool now faces an uphill battle to reach the Premier League from the English League One now that the majority of the original fans have abandoned the club. With a 55,000 capacity stadium (Red Bull Arena) due to finish construction in 2022, hopefully the club can build a cult following in English football to fill out the stadium once they reach the Premier League!

Today we take on Rochdale in the Sky Bet League One as I introduce you to myself and the squad ahead of our bright and fizzy future!

We finally found our footing as we prepared to face Rotherham and Carlisle in the League One and Leasing.com Trophy respectively!

The man, the myth, the legend himself finally returns to the great city of Liverpool to further ingrain his name in the collective minds of the Liverpudlians, much to my dismay.

In the fourth episode of my RB Liverpool series we face bottom-of-the-table Gillingham in the FA Cup 1st Round before a Leasing.com Trophy group stage match against Manchester United's U23s!

As we near the halfway mark in our first season, we face League Two title contenders Bradford City in the Leasing.com Trophy 2nd Round with the hopes of meeting our local rivals' reserves, the Liverpool U23s, later in the competition. Amidst a difficult patch of league form, we then go up against title competitors Lincoln City away in a very tight fixture!

Today we go up against the Liverpool U23s in the match-up of the season for the Leasing.com Trophy 3rd Round with the hopes of securing some silverware in our first season! We then face Southend United in the EFL League One amid another poor run of form as we seek to retain our spot in the promotion race.

In today's episode of RB Liverpool we try to right the ship before it sinks as we take on Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool in the league!

Today we take on Accrington Stanley and Lincoln City in League One, seeking to retain our promotion playoff spot as we approach the end of our first season! Regen wonderkids Brad Russell and Nick Miller also take center stage as we finally begin to live up to the Red Bull name!

We finally reach the end of our first season as we face Lincoln City and Peterborough, seeking to reward all our hard work with a promotion to the Championship! It's a dramatic one!

After our playoff disappointment, I’m considering putting this save on hold and rebooting it down the road to focus on other content as there’s just so many FM content creators doing stories on YouTube. I feel like too small a voice in such a big crowd, might be worth focusing on my challenges/experiments for now. Any thoughts?

I've decided to focus on challenge videos while I grow my YouTube channel, so I've halted this story for the time being. However, I still believe in this save idea and I'd like to share it with you guys in case anyone else agrees, so here you go! If you're interested in trying out the save check the links below:
