I was thinking: I really need something to do on Football Manager. Then I thought: Why don't I make a challenge? That thought led to: What should I base it on? Because I support Oldham, I obviously thought of them, then thought of League One.
So I based it in League One. And it all went from there...

The Aim

To win all possible things in English management, then follow it up as England manager, winning the World Cup, and European Championships.


The Rules

You must start in League One, but with any team.
You can buy a maximum of 5 players per season, and they must be either from the league below or the league you are in. This rule includes signing unsigned players.
Loan signings are allowed, they can be from one league above, your current league, or any leagues below.
You can buy as many staff as your board allows you, and they can be from any leagues.
You are allowed to buy players from abroad, but only where you board will allow you to scout.
You must select a player under the age of 20 to be in your matchday squad on 20 matches of the season at the start of every season, not including when you are England manager.
You can only accept national management when you have won everything that is possible in English domestic management.
If you win the Champions Cup before the Euro Cup then you don't have to win the Euro Cup.
You must post screenshots of every promotion, relegation, and cup that you win. Also you must post a screenshot ofyour selected player before and after the season. When you are made England manager post a screenshot and post a screenshot of your league after every season.

Player naming and tactic naming is allowed on this challenge for those of you that dont wish to see this.
I have chosen my team: obviously Oldham. Great team on the game, have adopted a 4-1-3-1-1 formation and am playing attacking style football.
My selected player is:Chris Taylor
Looks promising, hopefully will develop into a fantastic player. Was going to sign a defensive midfielder, but he played for Liverpool.
Am just about to start my first pre season game
