QPRIrish Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I see Craig Short has been handed the reigns at Hungarian club Ferencvaros IRL and I was thinking of doing something similar on FM - taking over an obscure club in an obscure league as an English manager and seeing how I got on. Has anybody tried this? If so, which club or league and how did you get on? I'm going to play some tonight but not too sure who to takeover just yet...

adamdrfc Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Did a journeyman save on 09 and did a tour of the Scandinavian clubs... never made it to England though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Ferencvaros aren't exactly an obscure club - They've won a major European cup! They've just had a lot of problems trying to live up to past glories and coping financially - thus why they were effectively bought by Sheffield Utd. The rest of the clubs in Hungary are pretty obscure though. Managing in a league such as the Romanian second division can be very fun, from experience!

QPRIrish Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 OK, obscure was probably a tad harsh but I hope you'd agree it's quite a random move for a former English centre-half... You don't get too many English managers in countries like Hungary. Liking the idea - I want a club with history, little or no money where I don't know the players, clubs or leagues...

It's a pretty random move, but the fact it's English owned, English run and with a number of English players means moving to another Hungarian club, for example, would be much more random. Try somewhere like Slovenia? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Shameless plug, yes i've managed in Hungary, the Second Division with Ferencvaros and it was pretty horrible tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturislav Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I've randomly chosen the Russian 1st Division(2nd Tier) to go Mettalurg Liptesk. They were predicted to battle bravely against relegation. I'm enjoying it - i prefer going leagues where I don't know any of the players, Scotland or England are too boring. The quality in the division is quite surprising and it's competitive. On the plus side if I manage to eventually get promotion and I'm going into a relatively rich league with alot of very very good players. My team has a poor history so hopefully I can make them a decent force(after a couple of seasons). Try them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Swedish Lower Leagues - Eskilstuna City. I had an excellent game with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Lad Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am playing as an Irish manager in Luxembourg. I'm having a lot of fun in the save (and actually just got into the group stages of the UEFA cup). I also like to play in Iceland sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Liam Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I love managing in different countries, and in fact prefer it to managing in England. I've managed in the lower leagues in Russia, Norway, Finland, Argentina and Uruguay in past FM's, and with the new league editor there's far more possibilities on FM2010.

stevedaytona Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just started a game as unemployed and took till November to get a job offer - at Celano in Serie C in Italy. Managed to win 3 out of 4 games and the won I lost, we had better possession and should have won. Not sure if this is sufficiently obscure though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
