Who to manage

[Sean Walsh]

I'm looking to start a new career in football manager but I have a problem, I don't have any idea who to be. Any help would be welcome

 

[Filipower]

well, gives us some kind of idea, do you want immediate success, a hell of a challenge, a world-class team, a not so popular league..what?..

 

[PSVFOREVER]

RKC Waalwijk.

Helsingborg

 

[Theodorakis]

Deportivo La Coruna and Parma offers a great challenge. since they have a tradition of success, it's more easy settling them as a big club.

 

[Zlatan]

BV Veendam.

 

[Sean Walsh]

thank you to everyone who replied. I have decided to go with Helsingborg and for anyone who is interested i will be starting a new thread so people can follow my progress

Help me out here.

Team with a hefty transfer budget, weak European league, not Shakhtar.

 

[rpvankasteren]

If you consider the Turkish league weak: Fenerbahçe, Besiktas, or Trabzonspor.
Serie B: Juventus.
Austria: Salzburg.
In the Ukraine, but not Shakhtar: Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk or Dinamo Kiev.

The fees get less hefty from top to bottom.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Rosenborg, Brondby or Kobenhavn

They all have balances of 20m-30m €, if you request a bigger transferbudget, they'll give you something like 10-20m to spend.

FCK can't sign big players though, I ended up settling for the likes of Dave Nugent.

I signed Kristen Nemeth with them though, which I've been gloating about since Liverpool really signed him.

3 non-EU (or swiss) limit in the match day squad too.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Well, he did want a team in a weak european league, so in the end, you'll have this problem with every team in a weak league

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'll look into Fener. That sounds exactly what I was looking for. I just want to have a team like Dynamo Kiev with Sheva, or Galatasaray 6 years ago. Dominant in the league, non-traditional power in Europe.

Does anyone know what the prize money or TV money is like in some of the smaller leagues? Ukraine gives you nothing I know.

 

[Tom]

I would think VERY low Shifty, hence why in real life, there's such a massive gulf between the teams that get to Europe, and the ones that don't.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah. Turns out Turkey is even less desirable than Ukraine. I'll have to look around a bit, or just keep going with my Shakhtar game.

 

[Zlatan]

I believe Lyon has lots of money too. Although the French league is not really a weak league, they do dominate that league.

 

[Áļéאָ]

Fener is fine, owners have money and as long as you get into CL you'll have more than enough money

 

[PSVFOREVER]

You should be able to attract big players to the Turkish leagues, think of Appiah or Roberto Carlos.
