Hello,
As you may've noticed I've been trying a number of different saves recently, my apologies for all of the various stories which have contained a minimal amount of posts. I've had failed adventures at Norwich, Real Betis, a Tier 10 Club and most recently Southampton and my saves which have been successful, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund, have been largely kept personal before I posted a story and too much progress was made for me to properly get everyone caught up on them.
This time I have done a few pratice saves which a few teams and created a shortlist to vote, so that I can actually have a long running story and not trying to make myself enjoy a save but rather naturally just have fun with it. I'd like to point out that the most fun I have tends to be in the Premier League or Bundesliga and haven't really had success in other divisions, exact reasons why I cannot pinpoint.
I'll explain the poll options in more depth here:
1) Aston Villa - I did a trial save at Aston Villa and had a good amount of fun with it. The team played nicely, and I particularly enjoyed using the likes of Jack Grealish and Frederic Guilbert. I think they would be a good option in England as they would be a difficult first season challenge and a fun side to build up back into a better team.
2) Continue Spurs; change story format - If you have read my Tottenham story, you'll know that I am into my 8th season with Spurs and I have loved it every step of the way. I could carry that one but change it to a regular story format should people prefer that, however a fresh story may be better for a better knowledge of players and how the save has developed.
3) Restart Spurs - Another idea I had was to do another Spurs story, just restarting from the beginning, probably for a better story. I love managing Spurs every time but it depends if you would like to see me at the same club again, with a slightly different approach this time.
4) Sheffield United - The last Premier League option I had on this shortlist was Sheffield United. They are doing an incredible job in real life, but the challenge is incredibly tough on FM, meaning it would be a similar story to Aston Villa. Personally, I would probably lean more towards Villa, but would be open to both.
5) Borussia Monchengladbach - My first option abroad was to go and manage Borussia Monchengladbach. I think they have an interesting team and present a fun option to manage so would be willing to give them a go on FM and try to eventually win the Bundesliga with them and dethrone Bayern Munich.
6) Hertha Berlin - My second Bundesliga option was Hertha Berlin. They were once a powerhouse and rebuilding their team is an option which does appeal to me. I think Monchengladbach is probably my preferred Bundesliga option, but similarly to Sheffield United, if you would rather see a story at Hertha Berlin then I would be open to that too.
7) Journeyman (starting in Brazil) - My last option is a Journeyman save. This is a completely different option to the rest but ultimately I think I'd be able to enjoy it. I have never managed in Brazil before on FM so it would be completely new for me, but eventually I would move clubs and try to climb to the top of the managerial hall of fame charts.
That's all of the options I think I would make a decent story out of, but if you have any other ideas, let me know. Thanks for reading!
