ToonForever Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 In arranging my next season's transfer budget (having finished third last season with the Toon) if I choose "Title challenge" to snag a couple million more quid, what constitutes a successful title "challenge"? Coming in 2nd? 3rd? Spending time at the top after Christmas? I don't expect to be able to win quite yet, but we're playing CL this year and I need to expand my squad with quality to make it through the added fixtures... Thanks.

Gauvner Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well really its what it says on the tin. Challenge for the Title, but the board dont expect you to win it. 2nd 3rd 4th normally are a title challenge aslong as you are there or there abouts come season end.

FrazT Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Top 4 should satisfy the board- maybe top 6 for the EPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckers4 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i would say 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Unless it is worked out by the difference in points between you and the winner (unless you win it of course). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineOne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have to say, last season I also picked Title Challenge and the board weren't happy with the results even though I finished 3rd (serie A). The thing is, I never really challenged for the title. Most part of the season I stood about 5-7th. Had a really good streak at the end of the season and I only managed to get to the 3rd place on the last match. So it's not just the finishing place, it's really if you can challenge for the title or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arijit Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So, constantly staying in top 4 teams can be denoted as 'title challenge'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckers4 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I would say you have to be top of the league at least once throughout the season as well as staying close to the top for the majority of the season to call it a title challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGregory84 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Basically think the simple phrase is as close to top as you can without being say 20 points adrift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
