Nice one Raptor - I should have looked at CM Stories a little more closely

[retired_amyslack]

I've been thinking about an idea for the next challenge and I'd like to get some thoughts on the feasibility. Without giving too much away I'm considering a scenario where you would simultaneously manage several teams, perhaps up to three. I think that this could work OK in CM0102 but I'm not so sure about CM0304. Does anyone have any views on the viability of something like this?

[retired_marcias]

So long as there aren't too many leagues required to run it should be ok from my point of view - I have games running where I manage multiple teams and the speed is ok on one of them (4 teams I think), but I only have Scotland running. As for the issue of managing multiple teams in itself I'm always up for it - mebee less so if there's no choice in any of the teams though!

[retired_karamelkel]

It should be fine Bob as long as there's no conflict of interest. Personally though, the idea of managing multiple teams never appealed to me; there is such a thing as "cm braion overload."

[retired_destiny1124]

I have to agree with Educated on that Bob- managing multiple clubs is not something I would be interested in- especially because I tend to focus so much effort on the club I am managing. You are right, CM 01-02 would likely make that approach more viable though.

Poo- welcome back Wondered where you had been lately...

Speaking of challenges, I'm getting a bit hooked by PM7's baby raising idea. I think it could be a cool challenge to take control of a lower division side and bring them to European glory, without signing or loaning ANY players at ANY time.

To add to the challenge you could select a lower ranking league, i.e. NOT England, Germany, Italy, Spain or Holland.

I'll try to firm up the idea in time for the next challenge vote.

[retired_marcias]

I'd say it's easier in a lower ranking league - if you aren't signing anyone anyway the reputation of the league doesn't matter and it's a lot easier throwing kids in in the Scottish league than it is in say England! It is something I always like the idea of though

THE ITALIAN JOB, by flipsix3

"Hold on lads, Ive got an idea"

Who can forget all those magical moments as Michael Caine leads a bunch of England's finest into Turin and escapes with rather a lot of gold ?

Well it's time to recreate them with you favourite management sim.

CASING THE JOINT: Create a manager of English nationality (you could choose another non-Italian one, but English fits the theme best so I'll use it throughout the outline). Take control of any Italian Serie C club and set about building your reputation.

MOVING IN: At the earliest opportunity take control of either Turin based team (Juventus or Torino)

ASSEMBLING THE TEAM: Set about building a player roster of entirely English nationality (any youth prospects promoted must be immediately released - no waiting for buyers)

THE HEIST: Win the Serie A title (Scudeto) with that squad. The challenge can only be considered complete when you win it in a season that you had an all English squad at the START of

THE GETAWAY: Immediately resign from the club and head for home.

I would think starting in serie C or the Spanish/English lower leagues it would be very difficult indeed rather than a small country where it would probably be easier!
