[FM 2012] Ultimate Challenge [England]

I'm going for the ultimate challenge. I'm going to manage the worst club in England in the worst division and try to get them to be champions of the Premier League.

According to the game, that fortunate ( ) club will be Vauxhall Motors.

Pretty hard when you can't even be champions of Spain with Barcelona.

I won the treble with Barcelona and I'm on course to reclaim the La Liga title again. So fuck off.

Not in your first two seasons.

I actually won the treble in my second season. Now shut up before I ban you.

Typical Muslim, abusing power.

Someone is mad

Expectations: Avoid Relegation
Transfer Budget: £0
Wage Budget: £22,880 per annum

So basically I can't buy anyone unless it's on loan or free transfer.

there are some good free transfers. In fm10 or 11 you could get star players for free easily.

Yeah, but are they going to want to join a 6th division relegation battling club?

star players for your league.

My players get tired too quickly and lots of injuries occur as expected in such a low level team. Other than that, I think my team had a good pre-season and should be able to avoid the relegation drop. I didn't buy or sell any of my players, though that might change in January.

Start from Level 10.

Level 10 isn't in the original game.

Excuses.

Vauxhall There always scouting where we play.

September Update

Vauxhall continued the form they experienced in the end of August with unexpected victories over Corby and Altrincham.

Results
Vauxhall 2-0 Corby
Altrincham 0-1 Vauxhall

Allardyce got sacked from West Ham and the board has me on their shortlist of replacements. I refused.

West Ham looking for a manager... "Oh look at this Division 6 manager that has only a few games under his belt... he looks very promising."

October Update

Vauxhall conceded a second half goal to lower division side, Buxton, to wave goodbye to the FA Cup at the Second Qualifying Round. As other teams were playing cup competitions, Vauxhall only played one league match in the month of October. Vauxhall barely edged past Hyde. Vauxhall sit in 7th place with 16 points after 10 matches, 1 point off the promotion playoff zone and 9 points off the top of the table.

Results
Vauxhall 0-1 Buxton
Vauxhall 1-0 Hyde

They are right though. I would kick ass with West Ham if I'm doing so good with Vauxhall.

November Update

Vauxhall came back from 2 goals behind to secure a 3-2 victory over Droylsden. The team followed with a surprising draw against promotion favorites FC Halifax away from home. Another draw away from home against Gainsborough kept Vauxhall's great undefeated run going. Vauxhall were back to winning ways when they defeated relegation threatened, Colwyn Bay, at home. Vauxhall ended the month in fantastic fashion as they defeated top of the table, Worcester, 3-1 away from home. Vauxhall sit in 3rd place with 27 points after 15 matches, 4 points off the top of the table.

In their first game of the FA Trophy, Vauxhall visited fellow league participants, Stalybridge. Before the FA Trophy match, Stalybridge had broke the league record for consecutive undefeated matches. Vauxhall couldn't hold on in the second half as they fell to a 2-1 defeat and waved goodbye to another tournament. The team now can focus all their energy on the league and pull off a shock promotion under the first season of Ahmed.

Results
Vauxhall 3-2 Droylsden
FC Halifax 2-2 Vauxhall
Gainsborough 0-0 Vauxhall
Vauxhall 2-0 Colwyn Bay
Stalybridge 2-1 Vauxhall

Birmingham sacked their manager and are interested in me too.

They had a penalty not given and hit the woodwork 3 times in the match. Vauxhall were unlucky again as they hit the post two times to only draw against Blyth and miss out on going 2 points clear at the top of the table. With 3 games in the last week of December, the fatigue got to the team. After drawing with Blyth, Vauxhall drew again against Bishop's Stortford and then against Nuneaton. Vauxhall drop to 4th place, 5 points behind the league leaders.
