sounds good :thup:

Matt,
You would probably be restricted to Ireland, but I think it could be done. If your computer allows I would try as many divisions as it is comfortable with

[list]

He has also been kind enough to give me a list of the Leagues that would need to be selected AS A MINIMUM. Feel free to load as many leagues as you like but make sure that these are included as they will cover entry into every club cup on the list

Europe: 1 from Norway/Sweden/Denmark. 1 from Ireland/NI. You might also want to have a big european league for the Champions League, however entry to the CL will be covered by the other leagues mentioned
Africa: South Africa
S.America: 1 from Brazil/Argentina
N.America: Mexico
Asia: 1 from Malaysia/Singapore/Korea
Oceania: New Zealand

That is 7/8 leagues depending on your views on the larger European league. Please make sure your computer can handle this ammount of leagues before you start!

Good luck all
The AFC Challenge Cup is in the game. In Asia, however, two leagues are necessary due to the continental competition structure - teams from the top nations go into the Asian CL, the next go into the AFC Challenge Cup - thus Singapore (just 1 division) and Korea/China/Australia is suggested for easier paths in the CL and Asian Cup.

Therefore for minimum leagues (and an easy ride in Asia), perhaps a selection of:

Denmark and Northern Ireland (follows June - May season)
South Africa
Mexico (so that you can win the Libertadores/Sudamericana with a team from there too, though imagine the fixture congestion!)
Argentina
Singapore (has just the one division, may be easier to get a job than in two-division Malaysia)
Australia (good National Team, just one division unlike Korea, and it will have several Oceanic nations already eligible for international management)

For a more difficult challenge run the USA and a smaller S.American league as well as Indonesia in place of Australia (doubt it'd be easy to win the Asian Cup), but then New Zealand needs to be retained.

One query Evertonbloke - when you mean no experience, do you mean Automatic?

Crikey..... :eek:

That is a huge challenge. In reality do you think anyone will really go for it as it will take some number of years to collect that lot. I will give anything a go but just think..

i.e Using England as an example:
Season 1 - Start unemployed, take first decent job, probably in League 1, poss Championship or Prem where you will prob start towards the bottom. Save from relegation & hope for Euro Vase qualification.
Season 2 - Qualify for Euro Champions League, win Uefa cup via Euro Vase.
Season 3 - Win Euro Champions League.
Season 4 - Win Euro Super Cup and World Club Champ.
Season 5 - Move clubs i.e Ireland? Win All Ireland Cup.
Season 6 & 7 - Move clubs i.e America - In reality 2 seasons to win all over there.
Season 8 & 9 - move Clubs i.e Africa - Approx 2 seasons to win all over there.
Season 10 & 11 - move again (wont do club loyalty any good , to Asia. Couple of years to win all there.
Season 12 - Move again to Scandinavia & win royal league...hopefully!
Also you need to manage 4/5 nations in this time to win all that, if you are lucky.

That is at least 12 seasons if all goes well (which my game won't) that is a major challenge....but do-able....eventually.

Good luck to all who give it a go.

Fair play for thinking that one up evertonbloke.

PS - give him Moysie back, i couldn't stand it if you beat us at Anfield as well. Goodison was bad enough

Surely you'd have no chance with these vacancies, having no experience and all.

Oh, and if Everton having Moyesie means that they beat Liverpool, then they can keep him!

Australia
Brazil
Ireland
Mexico
South Africa
South Korea
Spain
Sweden

New Zealand doesnt appear to be a playable league so that was out.

Once it has loaded up I will have a scan through the tournements to check that they are all available. (I really should be working but )

Gordon
You need an Asian league whose clubs participates in the AFC Challenge Cup (both Australian and South Korean teams go into the CL) - Singapore/Malaysia are the only two that qualify for the South East Asian Club Championship too.
