A lot of people play dafuge's challenge, which I believe involves holidaying a year, and then taking charge of one of the newly promoted clubs to the BSS or BSN.

Other then that, I can't see much point, but each to their own.

In some challenges like dafuge's or Gundo's, the goal is to take a previously "unplayable" club to glory, therefor holiday for a season and take over one of the newly promoted ones.

That sums it up pretty much and then there is Gundo's version too. :thup:

Like every says, it's just a Lower League thing. Makes it that little bit more difficult, cos you take over a club with no FM history.

My current save game, I went on holiday for 18 months or so, upto Christmas Day in the Second Season.

I took over the team coming last in the league, with the aim of keeping them up. Was good fun.

Another reason might be to start unemployed and actually have different job openings out there (when you start up a game as unemployed the exact same jobs are available every time).
