funkybradley Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Finish 17th or higher two years in a row. It doesn't count as staying up for a second year if you finish 20th as you would be relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris R Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 great clubs, crap country Romania fits the description. the national side is good, can be great. Lots of potential.

It is October and I have been offered a job at another eligable team for stage one. If I managed to take them up this year, would it be counted as part of stage one complete?

Jack South Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Ell and Back i going to accept your request. I place this rule in place to stop challengers taking up jobs at clubs that had nearly qualified and then claiming they were one step closer to completing a challenge. As you are in October though i will allow you to change club. As this will probably lead to other request i'm placing the following rule in place If you move clubs after 31st december and then get promoted you must leave that club and find another eligible club for that stage.

Ell and Back Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks for that Jack, they are down in 15th place at the moment, so it's unlikely that I will get promotion in the first year, but I fancy giving it a bash! Perhaps that should be edited into the opening post? And made clear whether that is for stage one or for all the stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell and Back Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 A corrupt game has been my downfall. Finished 12th in the first season with Wimbldeon then jumped to Leicester City in October the next season - left the Dons in 18th place. Finished 10th with Leicester thanks to Luque who cost me near £8M but was well worth it. I had got the Mexico job in the summer after the 2002 WC, the crash occured after the group games in the Copa America and after three crashes at the same point I called it a day. However I will be starting up another attempt possibly on FM2006 and with my beloved Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 You might want to update the game to Patch 6.0.3 before you start the new game, if only to see about the freaky unhappiness that's always making people crazy when they don't play.

Mark Snellink Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Stage 2- The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow Promotion to the Premiership is big for any club but especially to those who have not tasted it before. Teams like Barnsley, Wolves have tasted it only to go back down, Blackburn on the other hand won it and Wigan aren’t doing bad either. Take a club who have not played in the premiership (Plymouth, Crewe, etc) to the top flight and qualify for Europe -- What teams qualify for this, can someone tell me? Stage 3- From Massive to Just Big Although the Premiership is the place to be some teams have been unable to recapture their former domestic glories. Their fans still wait and all at premium prices. Take a Premiership side who has not won the League (Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, etc) and win the League, the league cup, the FA Cup and the charity shield, whilst staying in the Premiership Note: If they have won the league during the game you may NOT manage them --- I assume you're talking about teams that were national champions before the introduction of the premier league?

Ell and Back Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Mark, all of the teams that aren't listed as a relegated team (first page) are eligible for Stage Two. Oh and apart from the teams that have been relegated in your game. I'm also guessing that you are correct about the Premier League winners, otherwise Jack wouldn't have listed Liverpool as one of the eligible teams.
