February becomes March in the Bundesliga and for one half of our Football Manager duo, things are looking up and the threat of relegation almost seems like a distant memory. For the other half, the only way is up, but the board and players look like they're all coming into line and getting behind a strong finish to the season.

This week on the podcast we've got another month of games in the Bundesliga where it's become apparent that it's Bayern, Dortmund and everyone else. For Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen lie in wait with the firepower to derail a winter resurgence. For Augsburg, Ibra's loss looks like Diego Lopes' gain as the sinking Bavarian ship looks to be turning around and making a push for unity amid a tough run of games.

And following an exit from the Champions League group stages, Frankfurt (and Ken) get their first taste of the Europa League with the visit of FC Copenhagen to town and the prospect of some mouth-watering knock out fixtures if they can survive the opening playoff legs.

We'll also hear from more of the FM community, find out how Liverpool are doing in the 2030s, how Shane would change Everton this season, how the multiverse is going and get an insight into Shane's buy-low-sell-high philosophy.
