Hershie Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I just chose to take over relegation-threatened Sodovik in the Russian First Division, primarily because I liked the bright/lime green colour of their kit. Has anyone else chosen a team for equally bizarre/sentimental reasons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mravac Kid Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Go Ahead Eagles, for the most awesome name in football history. And Pro Vercelli, because of an Italian TV sketch where the Milan manager complains that Pro Vercelli show up all cocky and full of themselves for a friendly. And I'm applying for the job at Hercules in the Dutch 2nd division, also because of the name. ... I've had it listed as "applied" for over a year (in-game) now... and they are still without manager. :-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 On a previous FM, I had a short-lived save as manager of Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala after watching a news report about the war in the Russian republic of Dagestan, the capital of which is Makhachkala.

Queen of the Stevenage Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If I go away on holiday ever, I always play as a team from the place I went on holiday. Like my current career, I went to Paris with my girlfriend and then took over Paris FC 2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I nearly always choose sides who primarily play in orange or yellow. If I've got more than one to choose from I then go with the team with the longest name. Although I have also been known to choose sides because of one good player (anyone remember the insane Gremio side of old?) or because they have a ridiculous stadium (Torpedo Moscow).

Boy_Wonda Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I choose teams in respect to how easy it is to read their colours on the in-game commentary on my rubbish screen... Man City is always a no-no... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
