I'm in the process of trying to turn Vidir Gardi into a professional team. So far this pre season I've managed to convince almost half the squad to turn pro. I'm hopeful that with the extra training they'll be getting we might improve - I have high hopes for the coming season.

What country are you leaning towards then? I know you mentioned it being a Scandinavian or Belgium club, so have you narrowed it down any? :cool:

well i had a little look at sorts of teams i can get in Sweden and there is one (Kalmar AIK) in particular who seem too big for where they are and are tempting, but got high expectations. Seen a couple of others too.Plus it's whether it would be a challenge or not.

i'm not sure now however whether i fancy doing Sweden now or not as i want to have a deeper luck at league structure. might have a go loading Norway and having a look at that, and maybe with Belgium. might also consider Austria and Switzerland??

the problem i have is i need to find a team/league where i feel comfortable and get hooked on as i am someone who has a habit for starting new games!! That way, i need to make sure i find the right 'home' so to speak.

Why can't i be someone who gets a game and plays it!!

I think if you can find a 'connection' with a particular nation or league then it does make it alot more addictive. For me it was only ever going to be Norway, the reason? Well my great grandfather was from Stavanger, Norway and that's where my Norwegian second name heralds from. So when picking a club to manage I try and find one that is in or close to Stavanger. In last seasons challenge it was Stavanger IF I managed to the Tippeligaen Title and (trying) to compete in the Champions League. :cool:

And this seasons challenge will see me take the reins at Randaberg IL, which is just north of Stavanger.

I've always started my first game on CM/FM's in the English lower league level and more recently it dafuges challenge. Norway now seems to have overtaken that as my first managerial post. I've always followed Norwegian football so it just seemed a natural progression to manage their.

Likewise, so much so i've decided i can't wait for ever and started a new game in the Ukraine. Why the Ukraine? Well i've decided competing against the likes of Shaktar who are extremely well-off in the game and thus able to splash the cash will make it all the harder for the little team i takeover.

Just on holiday now...

i actually couldn't wait and have continued my game in Slovakia with Puchov, to the point where i'm starting to feel an affinity for my players...
