I also attempt to do many of the things you've mentioned while playing long term games, particularly winning the league with a young team.

The one thing I do always try to do though, once whatever club I'm managing eventually becomes all powerful and rich, is to build a first team consisting entirely of English players. The last time I managed to successfully do this was in my FM07 Sunderland save, although I was quite a few years in. My best 13 or 14 players were all English and the world cup winning England starting line-up consisted of 9 players from my club. It also had another 3 of my players on the bench.

I have a feeling it'll be a long time before I can attempt this with my current Gateshead team.

This is quite a long term challenge ive set myself, but i can see it being quite fun!

the aim of my challenge is to win the top leagues in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, in the same game. Currently at Rosenborg and have just won the league, so now looking for my way out to the next country! its a good challenge because you have to wait until other managers are sacked then resurrect that team back up to the top!

Sounds fun mate! My intention is usually to start at a low club and gradually work my way up into better jobs, but when your doing well, winning, making a profit and overall, drastically improving the clubs fortunes, why not stay with them and help them succeed. Every game i think this lol

Next game i start, i'm gonna load a few leagues and pick the team with the most rubbish facilities, finances etc and see if i can actually change clubs.

I get too attatched lol
