As I like the game as realistic as possible I want to start a new game as an unemployed manager.

If I eg would apply and be hired by a conference team instead of conference north/south would this be conform the LLM rules?

I'd say yes.

It's not who you play, it's how you play that counts though.

Given that we start off in the lowest possible division...

It does and it doesn't, DMA.

Obviously you can't decide which team comes in for you, but we LLaMas reckon it's a bit unrealistic if a team from outwith the Lower Divisions comes in for an unknown manager.

Yes, though, it's "allowed" in LLM.

However, it tends to be the same team (which starts managerless) that offers you a job at the start of each game...so you might want to consider taking not the first job offer you get, but the second, which should be a bit more random.

Starting unemployed sucks. Maybe it will work a little better in FM '06.

I did it, though, but I waited until the second season, when I took charge of a recently promoted club to Conference North. That's a lot better.

Seems okay in Italy in FM 06. A lowest division side came in for an offer. Even negotiated with them and they gave me more transfer money...I'm suspicious of that though because they gave me quite a bit. Need to look into that some if I ever get the time.

Kfoolmoon

Italy? Fm 06? Hmmm...

Is that a "join the dots" excercise?

DMA

it is correct that every time you start up a game it is the same team that will offer you a position.

Only if you refuse it will be more at random.

That's what Glyn said
