I'd like a Ligue 1, Bundesliga or Russian club with a transfer budget of £10M or more...any suggestions?

Edit : A team which isn't ****-easy like Bayern. Montepellier for example, have they got a decent transfer budget?

Country/Continent: England
Tier: BSN or South
Financial state: lower the better
Media Prediction: lower the better

My real aim is to start at the bottom with a team which has the 'real' potential to have a massive fan base like a large town or city so if i did take them to the Prem/Championship it wouldn't feel unrealistic like for example i made Halifax, Guiseley or Harrogate bigger than Leeds utd which may spoil the game
 
Stockport County have been to the Championship before and it's the largest town in the country so that wouldn't be unrealistic.
 
Are their any old teams in England or Germany excluding chelsea??

2 clubs for your choosing!

Hello everyone,

I need help choosing two clubs, one being for a game I am planning to put many hours in, other one to play casually on my laptop when I have the time (at school? gnar gnar).

For my new 'main' game I am looking for a club from the blue square north/south division to build up until the premier league (had this in my mind since FM 2009/2010 I guess, but never actually did it).

Because of the fact that my knowledge of England and this league isn't that great, I was wondering if there is someone here who could help. Because I don't want it to be a random club I would really want it to be a club with some history, a large city, great potential audience, with respect, that did some great things in the past, I don't know ;p something to have a great 'starting point' to build something up, something that makes it stand out from the rest.

I was actually looking myself and found a small club with a large (??) city; Salisbury City F.C., but have no idea if this really is the most interesting choice. I don't care how small or large or bad or good it is, as long as it is in north or south :P

To make my post even longer: for my casual game I am looking for a spanish club I don't need much time to build up but I can just have fun with. Last year my 'casual' game was Manchester City which worked great because you could just buy a lot and quickly win it all, but after that it got boring of course.

So for my casual game a semi-top or top team from the LIGA BBVA would be great like Barcelona or Real Madrid or .. Atletico Madrid? I am really thinking about choosing Barcelona or Real Madrid, but doesn't that get way too boring when you win everything? I guess I would go with Real Madrid out of those two because they are the current club "behind barca".

To Sum up:

New main game:
Club from blue square north/south, that has some sort of 'special feature' (like large potential audience).
Or at least something that would let me have an relationship with it (like I had on FIFA 09 I think it was, were I built up Chesterfield, just because I liked the name and since then I have a special feeling whenever I see chesterfield :P)

New Casual game:
Club from LIGA BBVA (spain), that is semi-top (like atletico madrid??) or top (like Barcelona/Real Madrid), that is great just to have fun with but doesn't give too much work when not having a huge amount of time to play.


Sorry for the lengthy post, but I really would like your help!


Thanks!

Alright everyone,

I just can't decide who to be ! On previous Fm's i usually have a Colchester game, then a Braintree/BSS game and then a Valerenga game. However i am getting bored with these choices now and fancy a real challenge. Is the San Marino challenge all its banged up to be ?
 
Country/Continent: England
Tier: Premier League
Financial state: Not rich but be able to attract decent players
Media Prediction: 5-10th

Newcastle, Sunderland, you can usually sell Fellaini for £15M+ and you'd have some money for Everton at the start....I'd go with one of those three.

Thank you for your suggestion, Hinckley sounds interesting, but the population is 'only'
43,246 ;p I am actually looking more like a "leeds united' styled club with a massive history, and great followers potential.. any more suggestions?
​
And valencia is also very interesting!
 
Can anyone give a really hard team to manage. Preferably in a popular country(germany, portugal, england etc).
 
Country/Continent: France, Germany, Italy, Spain
Tier: Top League
Financial state: Not exceptionally rich, but has a bit of money to play with at the start. Maybe like £3-8 million
Media Prediction: Mid Table, nothing higher.

I am looking to create a long term save where i can really create a dominate force throughout Europe. Would be great if my team had young players who could be developed, or even better, a team that is built around one superstar player. Thanks in advance!
