Shifting goalposts
Put your red and white scarf back on the coat rack, football friends.
The match has been called off.
Anyone who pre-ordered the game will be given a refund, they say.

This other game is a reference to the next instalment, Football Manager 26.
The devs are now just working on that one instead.
It announced a short delay to itsrelease datein November 2024.
But just one week after that it wasdelayed again until March 2025.
It’s a surprisingly late cancellation, and a somewhat last minute announcement.
Sports Interactive couldn’t tell fans the bad news until now, they say, because lawyers said so.
Thatlistincludes Steam, Epic, Humble and a bunch of other places.
It’s only bad news if you bought your tickets to this big game from a CD Keys tout.
Either way, take off your red and white bobble hat and come back inside for a cuppa.
No, I don’t know what team you support.
It’s the red and white one.
They’re all red and white, aren’t they?
That’s the colour of football.
