Started off with Southampton, took them to semi-finals of the UCL in 2016, then left for Atletico. Realized I hate managing in Spain and resigned a year later, took the Fulham job, resigned a year after that because I found it too boring, went to Nurnberg, resigned a month in because the club was in huge financial trouble and bout to go into admin, then got the Argentina job, took them to no.1 in the world, and a year after, I went to club football with Stuttgart, who narrowly escaped relegation the year before. Guided them to 4th in the league and Europa League knockout stages in two years, when Liverpool came knocking.

They were 10th in the league after 18 games when I took over, and after a brilliant run of games I finished 2nd, just enough for automatic entry to Champs league. (BPL only has 3 CHampions league spots now.)
 
My favourite save is my only save game , i've been at Tottenham for 46 years and just completed season 2056/57 winning the quadruple , the best thing about my save game is that i have two world class english strikers banging goals in for fun

I normally do not and cannot bring myself to play more than 4 seasons, however, its even more fun now after I have gotten over the "regens are not cool" mindset, I love them now :)

I normally seem to only play with Regens since usually all the teams I start with are so bad that you can't go after well know people. Two favorite saves this year is San Marino one, which I did for the challenge since I never done it, and ended up with a sugar daddy there and get like 850M a year for transfers. Problem is that the last nine years I only been running with San Marino people or people who can play for the national team, and my team produces amazing regens that is just fun to play with.

Also taking on the challenge of playing in the San Marino league itself (not just the club in Italy). Most of the clubs now are semi-professional, me and one other team is professional and we are closing in on our first one million dollar payout for something (like winning the league, or winning the cup) since we started out it was all under 120K. Like 10 years in, and while the league is a walk thru, just trying to complete with teams in the champions league is painful. I did win my first game so I am like 1-1-40 in champs league now (or something crazy like that).
 
my favourite save has been i started off with woking now im west brom and making them a good team
 
I physically cannot buy regens.. They're just retarded.. So I usually get into the 5th or 6th season and just give up.

I'm in the 4th season in my Malaga game after finishing 3rd, 2nd, & 2nd, my God this league is hard! Barcelona never lose! I have some sick players though, the likes of Javi Martinez, Iker Muniain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, & Jack Wilshire. But this is my favourite game so far.

How do u not get bored??
 
My only real save, Villarreal. 8 seasons in and I've got a new stadium and an expansion to it taking it to 45k from 22k. Made them into the 8th richest team and can now run monthly profits with the stadium. Won 3 leagues, 6 cups and made it to the CL semi finals too many times only to be wrecked by injuries. On track for my 4th league, unbeaten after 19 games and beat Barca and Madrid 6-2 and 3-0 respectively. All my facilities have been upgraded to their maximum so hoping to become quite self sustained.
 
My Ajax save was good did 3 in a row :)

My current Arsenal save is also enjoyable :)
 
Either my Liverpool save, where I'm 7 seasons in.

Or my current Denmark save, in which I'm only at the 2012 Euros, but it is extremely enjoyable.

My favourite so far has been my Littlehampton save. I got them from Level 9, I think, to the Blue Square South so far, Winning every league on the way, and picking up a few cup trophies on the way too. Got 2 amazing striker regens, who have the potential to be Premier League strikers apparently. Still hoping to make my way up to the Premiership with them.

My most favourite save though was, and still is on FM10. Went from Ebbsfleet > QPR > Deportivo > Getafe. In the 9 years ive been at Getafe, Ive won 8 La Liga Titles, 5 CL Titles and 8 Spanish Cup Titles. Soldado proved to be a sexy player, scoring 122 goals in 56 games one season, and has scored 593 in 573 games in the league in his whole career :D I also have this sexy beast of a regen called Rolando Cristaldo. Best regen I have ever seen or had.

Malaga save, my current one. Got the average age from 30 to 23, won Spanish cup and Supercup on the first try. 3rd season coming. Didn't win the title yet.
 
Funnily enough i have struggled to get to terms with FM12 so my best save is a current one i have running from FM11 with my brother. Only problem is he does not live with me so we only play it when he is round which we try to do at least once a week.

Current date is Saturday 12th March 2022! Run time is 30 days, 14 hours and 7 minutes!!!

I will run through my managerial history only as it will take ages other wise haha.

I was generally happy at Napoli and thought it was a side i could build into a world powerhouse but....... I got offered the Chelsea job and being the club i support i could not turn it down.

So i am currently at Chelsea in season 2021-2022 and WILL stay here and re-build which is needed. I have signed some great players and am doing okay half way through the season.

My brothers clubs since start of save in correct order.
Aston Villa 2010-2014
AC Milan 2014-2014, sacked
Leeds 2014-2015
Rangers 2015-2015, left for Swindon job
Swindon 2015-2018
Bayern Munich 2018-2021, won everything every season bar the Champions League
Man City 2021-now

So we started in the same league, went separate ways, was re-united when i got promoted with Southampton (as Di Canio got Swindon into the Premieleague), got separated again as he dominated Germany i dominated Turkey and Italy and we both ended back in the PremierLeague in the same summer with top sides. The save has just got interesting haha, hope you enjoyed this.
 
My fav save in fm12 has to b my monaco save.... enjoyed it so much...but it had a very sad ending...:( ....

Season 2 : won coupe de la ligue and 8th in the table
Season 3 : won french cup and 5th in the table
Season 4 : won europa league and 3rd in the table
Season 5 : won the ligue
Season 6 : aim was to win the UCL but unfortunately for some reason...my game slowed down....it took ages to go past days...even during matches, evrythin lagged...and in the end...the game could no longer be loaded.... :( ...end of my DREAMS.... but it was the best save eva...had a lot of entertainment..during the previous 5 seasons...if i only knew a way to retrieve my lost game...
 
My save with Bilbao where I am in 2030 would have to be it for me but I did have a very enjoyable save with Udinese before it crashed!
 
Not got any screenshots but currently playing a game with a custom team, started in league 2 and now in 2016 and in the premier. My players arnt the best but do get some epic results, i can see them in europe in the next 5 seasons.

Ill upload some screen shots soon :)
