    As a Manchester United fan, I chose Peterbrough, purely for the Ferguson link.

    How about you guys?

    Shamefully Man City

    Just want a rich fun game to start off with


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,246 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Cruzeiro.

    1st through to 13th qualify for the continental comps in Brazil so I'm fairly confident of taking them into one of them.

    Started with Willem II in Holland fairly randomly, see where I can get from there.

    Started with Chelsea as I have done since The Championship Manager series. After a few seasons I will usually start a career game which will occupy a few months.

    That will be next. Usually start big teams then go for a small club career!

    55 million to start, then just before January transfer window they give you another 50 million or so to spend.

    I've started with Wolves. Looking forward to a successful Championship campaign!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Decided to go for Spurs first before going on a long career game with Watford or Shels.

    27 million budget for a mid-table finish:D

    Signed Veloso and Arshavin

    Man Utd fan but I'm playing with Man City. I find it boring playing with Utd, maybe I just know too much about them or something. That and because of Robinho really. Bought Santa Cruz and Ben Foster but I prob won't buy anyone else until the new season.

    After a while I'll be looking to take Notts Forest back to the dizzying heights of European glory!! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,951 ✭✭✭DSB


    Shels.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭Julez


    Oldham in League 1 for me, its tough!


  • Registered Users Posts: 448 ✭✭Diddler82


    Started with Reading just to get a feel for the game.

    I used to go with Hull from their League One days but after a season

    After a Season though with Reading I will go back to Rushden & Diamonds and see if I can get past the Championship in this years game.... Not done it since FM07 :(

    Did that with Forest in 08... Successive promotions then won Prem after 5 seasons... Lost 2 FA Cup Finals and a UEFA Cup final! Now in ECL Quarters in 2014, come on! Its stopping me from installing 09, I've too much unfinished business!

    Good going...what tactics did you use? I find 4-4-2 never works for me. I like 3 at the back but it's not ideal.

    Starting with Ramsgate in the Blue Square South...damn the playes are awful but enjoying the challenge. Champions League glory here i come.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    I'm already sick of the Spurs game.

    Anyone recommend a team to start with? A good long challenge which will keep me busy til February at least :D

    Sporting Gijon for me. 200k budget so see what i can do


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Daemonic


    Almost made the BSP with Ramsgate at first time of asking. 2-1 up in the playoff final, 5th minute of injury time they unleash a 30 yarder which clatters the woodwork, hits my goalie on the back and bounces in :eek:
    Lost on penalties :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Ramsgate it is:)

    Start with them now so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Daemonic


    Welcome to Ramsgate SantryRed...it'll be a challenge :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,519 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Sporting Fingal. Didn't let me build my own team from scratch but should be fun anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,294 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Sligo Rovers, no tranfer budget, already over the wage budget and don't have a goalscorer when you start.

    Wouldn't have it any other way.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 Dave-Morro


    Planning to start with either St Patricks Athletic or Watford FC

    Brought Pats to the Gruop stages of the Champions League in FM08 and got a grand 2-2 draw in the Nou Camp.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 233 ✭✭cmcsoft


    Coventry City for me!! I used always start with Sunderland since Championship Manager but like to start low so Coventry will do
