I am currently managing in Argentina with River Plate and am concentrating on youth. I wan't to make River the best team in Argentina which i'm on the way to doing, then South America and then the World. Is this possible?

The things that stand against me are...

River don't have a huge reputation and it's hard to sign World Clas players... hence the importance on youth. Good coaches don't want to sign either.

Training facilities improvement was cancelled due to lack of funds.

The clubs debt is huge for the clubs size.

So can I make River Plate the beacon of World Football, if so How?


 
Ofcourse you can. You make any team the best in the world, thats the fun part of FM. Everything is possible!

Any way, you're on pole position with the focus on your youth. That and look for young players who can develop in quite a good player (the list is endless, Raikan knows)

Next stop, hire the right persons. Quite a few trainers will join River Plate when you're in your second season (Hellroker knows)

Last but not least, use the right tactics for your team and start winning.

I'm quite sure lots of people know more in dept information how to be successful with a 'small' club. If not, trial and error will be your key, but i'm quite sure you'll get it in a season or 2.
 
Spend time working on your tactic and fine tuning it, even if it means a terrible first season - a tactic that works is the best as you will be able to beat better teams who have better players, then start building your players.
 
It's tough, but possible. Spend wisely and do high-profile friendlies to rake in cash. Gradually build it up.
 
You have a great potential of youth players. Rogelio Funes Mori, his brother, then Eric Lamela. Concentrate to build a team around them. Also have a look at Boca, Estudiantes or Newells old boys youth players. Especially last ones have one of the best youth facilites in South America. Lionel Messi was in that team or good old Gabi Heinze:) have fun
 
This is my thread and i'll post thanks if I want. Thanks Mike.
 
I've always considered doing a South American save...Seems interesting fighting to keep your best players. Also I believe they have pretty specific foreign player rules which would further handcuff you.
 
River Plate? Of course you ******* can't! River Plate sucks in everyway possible. But you could make Boca Juniors world champions AGAIN! Boca once beat Milan and of course the amazing victory against Real Madrid.

not to keen on River then lol
Click to expand...

You can make every team the best. People have done it in less than 20 years with Conference National teams. If you scout around for coaches and young players (most notably regens) you can make an amazing team.
 
Argentine clubs normally raise funds by selling their star players with the hope that there is another one coming through the ranks its a risky way to do buisness though with no guarantees other than that i guess using river plates national reputation (being one of the biggest clubs in argentina) you could sign the best young players from less reputable clubs such as velez and newells before european clubs come sniffing. Also the rest of south america is a potential goldmine as far as young talent is concerned for example cerro porteno in paraguay have a young argentine striker cant remember his name but he could definetly be considered a steal and you wont have to pay too much for him.
 
If you want some advice have a look at this thread:
http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/fm-2.../63899-football-manager-2011-link-thread.html

It has links to how to make club profits, all you need to know about regens, coach and player reccomendations, tactical advice and much more.

It is possible to make River the best club in the game. Possible in about 10 seasons if you buy correctly. You may not get the same kind of ticket prices as european clubs but can more than make up for this by buying and selling wisely.
 
My advice when building up a team is to generally be very good with your money (i.e. staying below the wage budget, scheduling friendlies with bigger teams, etc.) while completing expectations in competitions. If you can live up to expectations and improve finances, your job will get easier. With better finances, you can start doing the things you've discussed already such as improving training facilities and signing better players.

I know I've only provided very basic direction, but I think it's crucial that you don't get too down if your team doesn't win the league in the first go-round. Living up to expectations keeps your job safe, and if you can do it economically, you'll be in better shape the next season and you can build on your progress.
