Gundo's FM08 Small club from a small nation European adventure challenge

Finland- 2 Leagues, most likely to have a clean slate of a team (I will go back here one day!)

Denmark- 3 Leagues, not bad challenge thus far for me, heavily reliant on my parent club due to severe lack of quality frees!

Gundo is in Norway so I am sure he will help you out there.

Three divisions in Belgium (with a Div 3A and 3B).

There are very few restrictions in Belgium, which makes it a bit easier than other countries, I'd imagine. In particular, no limit to the number of loan players you can have, is very handy in the lower divisions.

The very gentle foreigner rule isn't all that useful in the lower divisions, but should come in handy later in the game. There used to be no foreigner rules at all, but since FM08 it's at least 6 "homegrown" players in the match squad. (homegrown being trained in Belgium, not necessarily at the club).

No loan rules in Denmark either. Wait for my update and you will see my squad

Since the sacking of England Manager Steve Maclaren the FA have been quick to draw up a list of potential managers.

However, Skysports has learned that former Skjetten manager Marcus Evan Cook has been approached about the position.
Evan Cook has been quoted as saying,” It would be a great position for any manager, however at the moment I do not feel that I am ready. I wish to return to Norway and continue my management experience there, maybe in the future, I don’t know. Never say never!”
This has caused quite a stir in Norway, with many speculating as to who the lucky club will be. When drawn on this subject Evan Cook replied, “ There will be an announcement at 5pm GMT, once the contact details have been finalised.” When asked if he would be returning to Skjetten, “Evan Cook just

and said nothing!”

I'm all patched and ready to go :cool:

Was there ever any doubt about who you'd manage... I think not.

Welcome back to Norway cookie. :thup: I'll wish you the best of luck, (not that you'll need it.

cookie I remember you having a reserve team with Skjetten last time, seems I've got one aswell this year. I was wondering if you where asked at some point when you where promoted to either the Adeccoligaen or Tippeligaen whether you wanted your reserve team to join one of the group divisions? Our current reserve team don't have a league to play in so far, although I'm only in pre-season.

Still early days yet mate, I've just booted it up now and am just approaching my first friendly. I'm abit of a slow coach when I'm just starting off, it's taken me a while to find the players I want too. I hope to be playing that Skjetten game in the next couple of hours, I'll post the details aswell.
