Thanks man, I think I'm going to be Derby, Leicester or Ready. Which one do you guys think I should be?

Leicester has the most talent, most of your players could do well in the championship for a season and then grow while playing in the premiership and keep you up.

Think I'm going to be Leicester than judging on your recommendations.

From what I've seen Sao Paulo have the best youngsters in Brazil by a mile. Only Santos can challenge them in that department but that's mainly down to the two obvious players.

Santos have like 6 great youngsters, Internacional has 3 of the best + a great facility, Vasco has Dedé, Allan and Rômulo, while Sao Paulo has Lucas, who is fantastic, and Casemiro. Compared to the three others they aren't quite up there.

That's just the bona fide 'wonderkids' though, aside from them Sao Paulo have about 10 very good young players.

Be Leicester. You have a fairly decent team already. I know the team is large but this comes to your advantage because you can make a lot of money from selling the players that aren't needed.
The board are fantastic, they give you a lot of money to spend (if you want to, I have only spent about 15 million in total) and they always listen to your ideas.

I recommend that you ask the board to find a feeder club after the first season.


First Season:


Second Season:


In the 3rd season I finished 5th. Got my lads into Europe.

Trent, why did you give up on us?

Barnsley - £250k
Birmingham - £2.5m
Blackpool - £4m
Brighton - £2m
Bristol City - £0
Burnley - £2m
Cardiff - £750k
Coventry - £30k
Crystal Palace - £0
Derby - £500k
Doncaster - £26k
Hull - £500k
Ipswich - £4m
Leeds - £300k
Leicester - £4.25m
Middlesbrough - £750k
Millwall - £0
Nottm Forest - £250k
Peterborough - £1.5m
Portsmouth - £1.5m
Reading - £2.8m
Southampton - £5m
Watford - £500k
West Ham - £5m

Midway through the first season I was given like 20m with Blackpool. They start with a huge bank balance so they always end up increasing the transfer budget.

Just won the FA Cup with Whitby Town, now i'll be in Europe with a Blue Square team

I can never get a good season going, I'm always swapping and changing. My longest save was my Swansea save where I am in my third season.

Yeah, didn't you realise that you can manage a club and a nation team at the same time?
England is awesome. Got Uncle Roy as my assistant.

Yeah I knew, I was Chelsea manager and France manager on FM 2011. Just didn't think you'd get the England job. Must be doing well with Leicester.

My reputation is 'professional' not 'international', however I have done well at Leicester.
But, If you ask me, I think that Leicester's expectations are wrong.

Trasch with the winner!

I signed Keita on loan. When I went to play my next match, it said he can't play for more than 2 teams in one year. So it was a waste of a loan. I just cancelled it and will look for someone else. They really should inform you if he has played for two teams in one year and that you can't play him BEFORE you sign or loan a player. Thank God I decided to just loan him and not buy him.

Good to know.

GET IN!!! This is my second time in two seasons beating ManCity in the Carling Cup semifinals...

And the funny thing is Faure previously went 18 hours without scoring a goal (He is my 1st choice striker).

I use them same badges too.

I lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the Carling Cup final. I have failed to defend my title.

Alright, gonna stick with this one for awhile. SV Sandhausen... 3rd tier Germany.
