Holy sheetballs. 105 points in the PL. Well played @shirajzl you are a serial winner. Are you always playing the same system or does it vary?

Congratz @Skogmus on your first league win! Good luck in your future endeavors. 

@vikeologist I was going to resign from that club in Spain anyway so...no harm done really

burtur - Season 1

After my adventures in Spain (during my first iteration of this challenge) I was well aware of not taking just any job at some garbage club. I was offered the managerial position at Atletico Madrid....albeit the B-team but it was still a lucrative position. Tempted as that was I decided to turn down the offer. I went to countless job interviews and finally landed a job I was content with. 

Wycombe Wanderers

A professional club in the English League Two. Our goal is to reach a mid-table finish. Here is our starting position.

Hi everyone. 

So I started this challenge a few weeks back. You haven't heard a peep from me since. 

Quick update: So I took over the reigns at Formentera SD in Spain. It is by far the worst team/club I have ever managed in Football/Championship Manager. We did however manage to save us from relegation (via playoff) and I refused to sign a new contract with the club. Shortly after this my computer crashed and wasn't able to play. I decided to buy myself a new comp and am about to reboot this challenge.

Looking forward to reading all the updates in the christmas vacation and starting my own journey.

Happy holidays to everyone from snowy Iceland!

@vikeologist Unfortunately I have no record of that save anymore. I am operating on a new computer and didn't copy that saved game. However, I do remember I started in France with Étoile Fréjus Saint-Raphaël and eventually made them French Champions and Cup Winners. I then moved on to the other European leagues to complete the European leg of the challenge. I am fairly certain I won the Euro Cup with France and the World Cup and the Confederations CUp with Argentina whilst I was managing European clubs. I did win the world club cup as well. 

I then moved to South America where I did win the Copa Libertatores with some Brazilian team...Santos I think...and I am fairly certain I picked up a league and cup there as well. I am not sure though. Pretty Sure I hadn't won the Copa America yet. So towards the challenge I had racked up 6 leagues, 6 domestic cups, the Champions League, Copa Libertatores, World Club Cup, The World Cup, the Confederations Cup and the Euro Cup = 18?

But my reputation was immense and I pretty much could pick the jobs I wanted. I think I was the only one who started there...or maybe one or two others started in Europe, but it was working really well for me.

I'm back...and with a vengence. Most of you won't remember me but I'm sure vikeologist will. 

I took part in the original challenge thread and actually was well on my way to finish the challenge. However I took the challenge too seriously and actually spent too much time playing the game. If I recall correctly I had won everything in Europe and S. America, both on club and International level) as well as the world cup. I  pretty much spent all my free time playing Football Manager and I just got physically and mentally sick of the game. I quit the game and didn't play football manager again. Until now. I got the bug again and my god am I ready. 

The Ultimate Football Manager Challenge is still the best save I have ever undertaken, and the original thread was full of awesome people and FM stories. This time around I will take my time and above have fun.
