*OFFICIAL* FMS 2006 Challenge #2 - We Were One Great by JackSouth
We Were Once Great
Database requirement- English League: League Two and Above
Stage 1- Return to Glory
The days of the yo-yo club are all but faded, and ex premiership clubs litter the championship and the leagues below. Man City have famously gone down two leagues only to come back up and under Stuart Pearce guidance nearly made into Europe.
Take a former Premiership club (Derby, Sheffield United, Coventry, Barnsley, Oldham, etc) back to the Holy ground and stay there for two seasons.
Note: If sacked during Stage 1 repeat with another club.
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
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
Stage 4- The Best League, but not the best clubs?
The Premiership is without a doubt the best league in the world (Note: No, it isn't), so why aren’t we dominating the European Stage like we did back in the day. Liverpool proved that we can still do it.
Win either the UFEA Cup or the European Cup with any British Club.
Stage 5- Great Clubs, Crap Country
Brazil’s dominance is fading as is France. Greece surprise win the Euro Champs rocked the International scene to it foundation. But what of the countries that have gone so agonizing close but have nothing to show for it.
Take charge of a Country have not won the World Cup and take them to Glory in either competition
Stage 6-Practise those penalties for God’s sake
We gave them football, taught them the rules and then sat back as they kicked our bum all over the pitch. But Football has got to come home sometime. Hasn’t it?
Win The World Cup with England.
Bonus Stage- The First Great Team
The First Great Team was Preston North End first completing the double at the end of the 19th Century. Now there just Crap!
Return Preston North End to their past glory and Win the Double
Notes:
*A stage can only be counted as complete if you were managing the club at the start of the season (no club jumping in May!)
*If sacked at any time during Stages 1-5 just repeat with another club
*If a side has accomplished promotion/Won the League/won the World Cup during game play you may not take over them.
*Stages 3 and 4 may be done at the same time, with the same team but both must be completed before moving on to Stage 5

Even though I feel personally this challenge is way too long for the current game, still its good to see a new face coming to the fore and hopefully this will encourage others.
