If you notice lower lge teams don't have much money although I think Leeds might take your fancy. Why don't you earn your stripes and start with swindon town.

Depends how "lower league" you want to go :thup:

I'm currently at Hyde United in the Blue Square North.

In my game (version 8.0.1 patched, large DB with lots of additional nations loaded), they started with a 7k transfer budget and wage budget of 2k.

I was fortunate enough to do the following:

1 - Transfer listed my whole squad of 25 players and managed to get rid of all but 3 players in the space of my first 7 days in the job. This raised just over 120k, of which the board allowed me to keep 15% for transfers.

2 - I asked the board for a parent club. The three clubs they came back with were Barnsley, Blackpool and wait for it... MANCHESTER UNITED!! There's no prizes for guessing who I picked :thup:

3 - After agreeing an affiliation deal with Manchester United, proceeded to ask for players on loan. Have ended up no less than 6 young reserve players, including Frazier Campbell, who has managed to score 17 goals in my first 9 games.

4 - Current league standing 1st - Played 9, won 9, scored 38, conceded 6.


As you can see, this is turning out to be an amazing start to a new save, so might be worth trying yourself.

Also, take a look at this thread for useful tips on free transfer and cheap players for Blue Square Premier or BSP North & South teams.

Good luck with whoever you choose. Managing a lower league club can be fun, frustrating, challenging, but also rewarding. :cool:
