I got this idea from another thread, but I've bulked it up a bit. The idea is to follow in the footsteps of a footballing great (or good) and win at least one trophy at all the clubs they've played for or managed.
I've tried to use a mix of people who had decent playing and managing careers. Wenger has too many amateur playing clubs. Hodgson has too many clubs for me to be bothered typing out. I'm happy to add a few more suggestions. The shortest is six trophies, so six seasons if you're lucky with vacancies and great at your job.
Managers included, in rough order of how easy each one looks: Roberto Mancini, Roberto Martinez, Roberto di Matteo, Mark Hughes, Sir Bobby Robson, Martin Jol, Sir Alex Ferguson, Graeme Souness.
Rules
No edited databases, unless it's to include an otherwise unplayable league
No Scout Genie etc
You don't have to manage clubs in the chronological order
You do have to manage each club with the same manager (no adding in new managers)
Sunday League experience
If anyone's interested, we could make a scoring system. Points for trophies and a bonus for completing a career.
