My successes have virtually all been on my newest save, (though I did win the Premiership with Liverpool at first attempt, signing no one).
In my new save - I started unemployed... Got offered the Chester job in BSP, was sitting mid table for half of the season, then I was offered the Hereford job. Bottom of L2.
Managed to save Hereford that season, and in the following season, managed to nick a playoff spot, and win promotion.
Struggled with the first half of the season in L1, sitting precariously above the drop zone.. But then turned things around with a few free signings, and with 6 games left, I was sitting in 9th.
Q.P.R. offered me the manager job then, 5 games left, 2 points from safety. Managed to save them, and then for the next season, my first full season in the Championship. I had a shedload of money for wages and transfers.
Tried a new tactic, and it's the 'Silly Sort Of 3-2-2-2-1' that I uploaded.
Managed to get 113 points that campaign and easily win promotion.
First season in the Premiership, I am only 17 games in. But 4 points clear.
Now I would love to think that I could keep this up.. But I can't see it happening. My striker just isn't performing, and my AM is bagging nearly all of the team goals.
But it feels like a massive success to me, and it has got me re-hooked to FM!
