Season 3 After the gut-wrenching ending to Season 2, we're back for redemption. This season we invited a third person, Travis El Guapo, to share the burden of managing Swindon F.C. The goal for Season 3 is simple: get promoted and at all costs avoid the promotion playoff by laying claim to...

I posted the last of the season 2 updates a few minutes ago. I hope you guys enjoy it. Lubizinho

Season 2 For season two we went with a horror motif. It seemed like a perfect fit for this season from ****. Like any good horror movie, season two starts out with over-confident protagonists oblivious to the disasters they will encounter. Soon our heroes are beset by hardship on all sides...

Yeah, A few offers have come in from other clubs, but GD and I agreed that we'd take Swindon all the way to the top of world football. The playoff loss was brutal.

2nd half of the season should be epic.

Sebbie, The hidden advantage of swapping turns with a friend is that you get more time to write up your FM story. The downside is that the the other person might be a lunatic (GD Dave = crazy). Lubs

Sebbie, Thanks for reading the story. It's been a lot of fun to pull the posts together. Your question cuts right to the heart of the debate between GD Dave and I. GD Dave believes nothing you do in FM makes an impact on wins/losses. He'll go into a game as a long-shot and play an attacking...

Season 1 In this, the first season of the succession game, GD Dave and Lubizinho begin their tenure as Tuco Salamanca, the soon-to-be legendary Mexican manager in charge of Swindon Football Club in the nPower League 2. The season begins badly as Swindon struggles to cope with enormous roster...

Mark, Thanks for taking an interest in our story. It's been an interesting ride to say the least. Lubs

Is it normal to be envious of a friend's success in a FM? Is there anything more pointless? Probably not, but that was what I was feeling when my buddy, GD Dave, took Shamrock Rovers to the Champions League title in Football Manager 2011. It wasn't that he'd won the title. It was that he'd...

Glad to have you along Zlogi. After my last post I got some good feedback. As a result there are a few updates to the challenge. For example, You can choose whichever team you like between Blue Square N/S and League 2. Here are the updated overviews for points, penalties, and bonuses:

I wanted to ask the community-at-large if they would be more likely to undertake this challenge if there was more flexibility in choosing the team you start with. I have been getting some feedback that some players would be more likely to take up the challenge if they weren't forced to start...

Welcome to the party.

Rocky, so glad to have you in on the challenge. Traviselguapo had an interesting situation pop up in his game. I thought I'd lay it out here. He's still with Sutton in the BSP. He's about 75% of the way through his season and all of the sudden West Ham in the nPower Championship offered him...

I'm happy to have anyone that's willing to play along. If you'd like to load up more databases I suppose that's cool. My thinking in keeping the nations/database smaller was to make it so that more players could participate. Since not that many people have jumped in I say go for it. I've...
