I holidayed through a season in Belgium..took over an hour cause my PC is slow. I got a really good team. The only team that was already semi-profesional from all the new teams and also they were predicted to finish 4th. However I got some bad bug so I will have to start again...but I cbf holidaying for an hour again. I will probably start this again in a few days.

I'd like to do this in Finland with FC Santa Claus, unfortunately they're in 'Finnish Lower Division', meaning they can never be promoted

Mmmmmm. My initial reaction was N.Ireland again, but.............

Kalmar AIK FK - First Season (2008)
Just finished my first season with AIK Kalmar (Sweden) !
It didn't take long because they're just 22 games in the season.

The results :

League table : champs !!
Second Division Player Stats
My squad
Stats

My best player : Robert Karlssont
My best striker : Boubacar Baldé

Finances (ouch !)

Finishing first, we've won promotion to the Swedish Fist Division (3rd level in Sweden).

AIK Kalmar was already a strong team for the 4th level of swedish football. The stadium capacity is 9795 !!
The 20k€ wage budget allowed me to buy above average players for this level.

My two defeats took place :
- during the fan day, at home, against Laholm (who finished fifth)...
- at home again, 2 games before the end, in a capital game vs Limhamn. This game could have make us champs. We lost so that we had to battle until the last match.

I was surprised we didn't play any swedish cup.

Now, I'm preparing for the next step : the First Division.
The board long term expectations are to establish the team in the Fist Division Elite (2nd level in Sweden) in 5 years. I hope I'll be in the Premier Divison by this time !!!

Oh well, I might as well post here, since this challenge and my LLM game overlap.

Went to Iceland, holidayed for a year... I had a really enjoyable FM07 career with Magni, so when they came up from the lower divisions there could be no other choice.

Manager profile - strangely enough, choosing Sunday League footballer as my past experience gave me a national reputation at the start. I created another manager and set past experience to automatic and got the same - guess every manager in Iceland is a national celebrity.
Also the knowledge is really dodgy, but it seems to be a quirk of this year's edition.

The only players at the club are promoted youths with really bad hair, there is no staff whatsoever and, needless to say, no transfer money. Strangely enough, the club has a youth academy.

I've started in Serbia, in the First League.

FK Zeleznicar Nis is the unlucky team to have me at the helm for at least one season.
