I've asked axhm13 too, and he told me that the 'culprit' is the KB3086255 update (he tried it on Windows 7, I tried it on Windows 8.1 and in both cases removing it allowed the game to run).
Hope it helps!
Still, you can send some of your players on loan to teams playing in the same league as Chelsea. Now that they're in the Championship, the difference between your players (so the players pretty much every team in the league has) and theirs would be even bigger.
Plus, you can feed every team in...
Gotta love to see Mancini's face after the match against Arsenal.
Yeah, I don't actually like him in real life either. He complains way too much for my liking.
This *applause* is for getting Chelsea so low while Arsenal are just winning with ease.
This *applause* is for becoming the best manager in history.
This *applause* is for the game's savename.
You deserve a standing ovation, I almost fell from my chair! XD
You should really try to loan some youngsters out to West Ham and Watford, maybe also QPR and Swansea.
If you also mamange to get Tottenham in trouble while you're targeting Chelsea, though, it could be a big 'bonus'. (A)
Wow, I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.
I remember doing something similar in FM 2011 when I was managing Cremonese: Pergo (their rival team) defeated them in a derby IRL and after that loss Cremonese were, doing the maths, surely out of the playoffs.
So I decided to seek revente and to make...
To make the challenge a little bit spicy you could even add a "no resign" clause: you can change team only if...
You win the Champions' league
You get sacked
So you can't choose to change team just because you feel it's not good enough for you.
Or, seeing that the "no resign" clause is...

By the way, being you in 2014 I don't know what...
Well, apart from Suwon (that is a team I would like to manage sooner or later) and Geongnam, which have both a game in hand so can try and run away, the table isn't bad at all. You could easily reach the 4th place with a win.
By the way, Sangju already relegated? Like it happened in real life...
I'll follow you, this sounds interesting as it's something I've never seen before (seriously, I didn't know Pentagon challenges existed, let alone knowing they're famous... This is the first one I follow)! :D
