Thanks to Wikipedia for the below:

The club was founded in August 1970 by the fusion of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain (in fact, one should state 1904, because Stade Saint-Germain was founded that year). Gathering funds from nearly 20,000 subscribers, the creation of Paris FC marked the reappearance of a major club in Paris after the demise of R.C. Paris, Red Star and Stade Français (among others). The union of F.C. Paris and Stade Saint-Germain was motivated by the need to find players, structures, and a place in a higher division, and it resulted in the creation of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. The new club played in the Nationale (second) division for the 1970–71 season. The club won the division and was promoted to the top division in their first season. After finishing 16th in the 1971–72 season and under pressure from the Paris City Council to remove the reference to Saint-Germain, the club split in May. The professional part of the club joined C.A. Montreuil and remained in the top division as Paris FC, the amateur part of the club continued in the third division as amateur side Paris Saint-Germain. PSG was promoted to D2 in 1972–73, as champions following the disqualification of US Le Petit-Quevilly. The following season the club returned to professional status and finished second in the league, winning promotion to the top division in a play-off with Valenciennes. In a pleasing symmetry for PSG supporters, Paris FC was relegated in that season and PSG would henceforth always play at the newly rebuilt Parc des Princes, once the ground of Paris FC.

The Challenge

To return this once successful team to the top of the French league, and on to European success last achieved in the 1990s. The club have slipped down the league at an alarming rate in the last few seasons, and the French capitals city needs their team back at the top of the league giving Lyon a run for their money,

Good luck!!

thanks. just set up the game last night. yet to make a start as yet. My challenge is to challenge for the league title by end of three year contract which i feel is definately achievable. Transfer budget for initial expectations is £3 million, but i promised qualification for Europe, and have now got £3.7 million. i have an additional £20,000 per week to spend on wages.

I decided to have a go with PSG as i was a fan of them in the 1990's and early 2000's (still have a few shirts at home...) and they became my 'second' team after Sheffield Wednesday. Sad to see the way they've declined the last few years, so i want to take them back to the top!!
