You decide where I Start

Well the title says it all, I'm givin this thread a week(till I start nights again) to decide where I start my next save, I've struggled to get into FM09 but I've never done a long game, so thought It was about time and it may get me hooked again.

Please choose where you would like me to start and then you can always say which team you think I should be.

Thanks in advance.

blue square north start at kings lynn our first season in the league.

Blue Square North -> Gateshead

Player masking on! Meaning you can't sign exotic foreign talent which basically guarantees you win every game

Luton Town, League Two, -30 points. Try get them promoted coz I've seen it done before

Scottish Division 3

I say start in Scottish div 1, St. Johnstone are predicted 2nd but are pretty rubbish.

Also you don't get much money from promotion to buy new players. It makes a nice challenge:)

It's up to you.

(Personally, go for the Portuguese Leagues- try to win the CL with Benfica or Sporting Lisbon)

After you've done this vote for which league to start in and thats sorted, you should do a vote for which club in that division. Then your managerial fate really would be in our hands!

I voted for Coca-Cola League 1, where I think you should give managing Oldham Athletic a shot. At the start of this career you will need to make big decisions e.g. whether to sell star player Eardley and Taylor (the club needs the money!) or let them play you out the division, deal with an ageing squad with many of its best players over 30, deal with lots of contracts expiring and sort out a defence lacking in numbers. This is just my opinion, but its a challenge

Conference South vote from me, playing in those leagues are fun.

Norwich in the championship

Newcastle United.

start as torquay in the bsp. and try and emulate me . i won the champions league in my 22nd year. after i left in the 28th year we were the best team in the world ..... hard task but the have fan base and the ability to build a new ground so do it....

Cheers so far, keep them coming in though please.

Gateshead, 11,000 all seater stadium at BSN level!

Scottish division 3. You can't get relegated

BSS with St. Albans City. Centenary season.

C.

Scottish Divison 3. Seems rather obscure for you to learn the trade

Try updating the game with 9.3 patch.go to editor and change the winners of comps and relegated teams.then take contol of newcastle in the championship,rebuild the team and go from there. i think it makes for an interesting game and im gonna try it

Scottish Division 3, be Annan Athletic. Start off in Scotland like a certain famous manager did, and maybe you can emulate his successes.

Championship, worlds most competitive league.

Luton Town, AFC Bournemouth and Leeds are all good games if you want a Challenge. Man City Obviously have the money, but does money buy you success? For a challenge, Raith Rovers in the 3rd league in Scotland. On FM 08 I got them into the SPL in 8 years.

It's up to you.

(Personally, go for the Portuguese Leagues- try to win the CL with Benfica or Sporting Lisbon)

Playing the Porto challenge in one of my games. Made sure I had Prem, Bund, Liga, Serie A and Lique loaded too.

Norwich in the championship

I agree, could be a while 'till you can try this 1 again

poor norwich... but norwich in the championship is easy. Where i first went since im a norwich supporter, didnt get promoted but a fairly easy season so to speak, safe spot at least, promotion the year after. go for a blue square team.

Scottish Third - Annan Athletic. Even thier default logo/shield says "stay away"...

Best of luck...

scottish division 3 or the championship

Scottish Div 3, bring them up to the Prem, then see how you go in the champs league. From here you should be able to get a job anywhere.

Check the what team should I be thread in the GPTG forum

Anyway manage in the Premiership.

I went for Scottish division 3, give you a real challenge

League 1, Huddersfield

Championship, worlds most competitive league.

I'd say Brazilian Third Division is the most competitive, 128 teams battling for 4 promotion spots.

poor norwich... but norwich in the championship is easy. Where i first went since im a norwich supporter, didnt get promoted but a fairly easy season so to speak, safe spot at least, promotion the year after. go for a blue square team.

Poor poor Norwich indeed. Went for championship

I say scots div 3 for a change maybe, or bss or bsn very hard to master i really struggled with a crappy reputation so went on to wycome in league 2 still not an easy one though but there is some promise!

Having managed in the Scottish Third division, i can reconmend that league.

I was with Forfar in FM08 and found it extremely fun. I liked the closeness of the teams because there is only 10, and you play each other 4 times, so you really get to know each team well and almost build up rivalries.

It takes me a while to complete a season so i only got through three, but it was very enjoyable taking them up to the Second Division and nearly getting into the First.

I would go for that if i were you, having also managed non-league and football league in the English league.

Alternatively if you want a challenge you could always go and manage Manchester United.

22 votes, come on Blue Square South!

C.

Scottish third division eh?

scottish division 2 , easy enough to get promoted with any team but the challenge is the step up to the first division.

or go queens park the only Amateur team, thats a task and a half

League 2 - Wycombe Wanderers - 125th Anniversary

Why not try a league outside of the UK?

Blue Square South, probably my favourite league to play in. You can normally find enough free transfer signings to build a decent squad within a couple of years.

Scottish division 3. You can't get relegated

you can actualy "There is no direct relegation from the Scottish Third Division but since the 2005–06 season if a club finishes bottom for three successive seasons then they will have their full membership of the SFL suspended. The club will then play the next two seasons as a non-voting associate member after which the full members shall vote on the fate of the suspended club."

so its possible

interesting fact, i never knew that

Keep up the votin chaps

It'll make for an interestin Game I hope.

Thanks so far

Annan in ScotDiv3. Unlike IRL, they're tipped to come last.

I used to regularly start saves with East Stirlingshire, and Annan are the new Shire in FM09. Realistically, in the game (pardon the oxymoron) you won't get relegated, so you have infinite time to hone your squad and tactics and earn your corn hauling the team from the very depths of football to as high as you're patience will allow.

:confused: Wassat? I have installed logos, so I don't get you - unless it's a joke.

Amazed and impressed by the amount of people voting for Scottish Third Division. Lots of 'hardcore' FMers out there, after all. Either that or they just want LOMAS1982 to suffer!

Blue Square South the only way to go though. A close and competitive division with some interesting teams.

FM's default shield for them is black and yellow vertical stripes. A common "danger" colour set and arrangement, though diagonal stripes would be more like the caution tape my place of business sells.

Ah, get ya now. Bit obtuse, but good interpretation!
